As shown in FIG. 2, the WEB information providing server 101 is mainly composed of a data collection unit 202, a search unit 205, an evaluation unit 206, a search result generation unit 207, and a monitoring unit 210. In Fig. 2, the arrows indicate the flow of various data between these components.

In the first embodiment, each component is configured to exist in one WEB information providing server 101. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the data collection unit 202 and the search unit 205, A nodeware configuration in which other components are distributed on separate computers It is also possible.

[0047] The data collection unit 202 accesses the WEB site searched by the search unit 205, and the WE

Collect full-text data of B-site (full-text website data). The collected full-text website data is stored in the external storage device 105.

[0048] The search unit 205 receives a web information acquisition instruction based on web information identification information (for example, a URL or an IP address) from the user terminal 114 via the network 200, and includes the received identification information in the received identification information. Based on this, the web site corresponding to the identification information is acquired from various web servers on the network 200.

[0049] The evaluation unit 206 obtains information related to the web information (web site data) searched by the search unit 205 (for example, the last update date / time, the last link down (link down) date / time, author, affiliation domain). get.

[0050] The search result generation unit 207 generates screen data (acquired screen data) of the acquired website data and transmits it to the user terminal 114. In addition, the search result generation unit 207 updates the content of the acquisition screen data based on the monitoring result notified from the monitoring unit 210, and updates notification screen data for notifying that there is the updated acquisition screen data. Is transmitted to the user terminal 114. At this time, the updated acquired screen data (updated WEB information) is stored in the external storage device 105 until an update instruction notification from the user terminal 114 is received.

[0051] When an update instruction is received from the user terminal 114 based on the operation of the update notification screen data, the updated acquired screen data stored in the external storage device 105 is transmitted to the user terminal 114. .

[0052] At this time, display control information for identifying and displaying the updated location in the website data as an unupdated location may be transmitted together.

The monitoring unit 210 monitors the update status of the content of the website data corresponding to the acquired screen data transmitted to the user terminal 114 and notifies the search result generation unit 207 of the monitoring result. In addition, the presence / absence of an update instruction notification from the user terminal 114 is monitored, and the monitoring result is notified to the search result generation unit 207.
