Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 shows the overall configuration of the system that is useful for carrying this implementation. As shown in Fig. 1, it is composed of a chat server 1 of a service provider providing a chat service, a web server 2 of a web page operator, and a browser terminal 3 of a web page browsing user. In addition, in this service, there are sponsors 4 and advertising agencies 5 that request advertisements.

[0021] The browser terminal 3 is configured to be connectable to the Internet, and is a terminal that can acquire HTML data of a Web page from the Web server 2 and browse a Web page. This Web browser terminal 3 can be constituted by a so-called personal computer, PDA terminal or mobile phone terminal. This browser terminal 3 is equipped with a browser program for browsing web pages. By executing this browser program, you can browse web pages and play image files and music files. .

[0022] The Web server 2 is a computer that distributes HTML data of Web pages and the like in a WWW (World Wide Web) system.

In the Web server 2, various Web sites such as shopping sites, various information sites, and personal home pages are registered. In addition, the Web server 2 can execute a program or transfer a processing request to the chat server 1 in response to a request from the browser terminal 3.

The chat server 1 constitutes a chat processing device that is useful for the present invention.

The chat server 1 is composed of a computer and includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a computer program executed by the CPU, a RAM (Random Access Memory) for storing the computer program and predetermined data, and an external storage device such as a hard disk drive. Thus, the functional block shown in FIG. 2 can be configured.

2 includes a data storage unit 11, a transmission / reception unit 12, a program generation unit 13, a room management unit 14, an advertisement information storage unit 15, and an advertisement processing unit 16.

[0024] The data storage unit 11 is a storage unit capable of storing chat room information relating to a chat room. In this data storage section 11, as the chat room information, the address of the relevant web page as the referrer is stored for each chat room generated at least. The login name, session ID, and message contents of the user participating in the chat room are stored, and the update time and the status information of the logged-in user can also be stored.

An example of the data configuration stored in the data storage unit 11 is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 17, in the data storage unit 11, the address (referrer) of the web page where the chat room is displayed and the currently existing chat room (session is established). The user's session ID (login name if necessary) and the content of the remarks made in the chat room can be stored in association with each other.

The data storage unit 11 stores a referrer for each Web page every time a chat room is generated. Then, when the user participating in each referrer speaks, the content of the comment is added in association with the session IDs of other users! In addition, the user's viewer terminal ₃ periodically writes in the session assigned to the user, acquires the content of the remarks, and stores the remarks stored in association with the session ID at the time of acquisition. Erase!

The transmission / reception unit 12 performs data transmission / reception processing with the Web server 2 or the browser terminal 3 according to a predetermined protocol via the Internet.

The transmission / reception unit 12 can perform processing of receiving data input from the browser terminal 3 and transmitting program data generated by the chat server 1 to the viewer terminal 3.

The program generation unit 13 performs a process of generating a room generation program based on a program generation request from the browser terminal 3.

This chat room generating program is generated by ί and avaScript in this embodiment. This chat program is generated by preparing a program that executes a predetermined function in advance and inserting the user's remarks (text data, etc.) into the remarks part of the program. By doing so, you may be able to see what the user said in the chat room.

The chat room generation program is executed by the browser program of the user terminal 3 to display a chat room window on the web page accessed by the user. It can be done.

[0027] The room management unit 14 performs a process of managing the chat room information displayed on each Web page.

Specifically, for each chat room, the room manager 14 lists the chat room that has the referrer (URL of the web page where the chat room is posted), login name, content of the remark, session ID of the person who made the remark, etc. Is created and stored in the data storage unit 11, and when the information is updated, the information is updated. The room management unit 14 refers to the data storage unit 11 and stores at least the chat room information as information constituting the chat room when the chat room information is stored in the web page requested by the viewer. Performs processing to extract the login name, session ID, and user's remarks of the user participating in the room.

It also manages the status of the viewers participating in each room. When the viewer closes the window, the session ID of the user is deleted and the exit process is performed, and when there is no speech, the rest status is set. The process to update is started.

The advertisement information storage unit 15 is a storage unit that stores advertisement information for which an advertisement request has been made via the sponsor 4 or the advertisement agency 5.

The advertisement information storage unit 15 stores requested advertisement data and a keyword associated with the advertisement in association with each advertisement information.

This advertising data includes text data, image data (eg, Jpeg, GIF, etc.), video (eg, Flash, etc.), etc.!

For example, if the keyword is an advertisement for a clothing store, an arbitrary word such as “clothes”, “clothes”, “skirt”, or “one piece” is associated with the keyword. This keyword may be selected by the sponsor 4 or the advertising agency 5 or may be a keyword extracted from the advertisement data by the advertisement processing unit 16.

[0029] The advertisement processing unit 16 performs a process of selecting and displaying advertisement information to be displayed in the viewer's chat room.

The advertisement processing unit 16 extracts a keyword from the content of the remarks in the chat room, and stores advertisement information that matches the extracted keyword in the advertisement information storage unit 15. A process of extracting from the information and displaying it in the chat room of the viewer is performed. Thus, for example, in a chat room, if you say “I went to Shibuya to see this dress the last time,” for example, the keyword “clothes” in that statement is related to this. Selected advertisement information (for example, an advertisement of a clothing store) is displayed in a chat room.

The display form may be displayed on the entire chat screen of the chat room, or may be displayed on a predetermined advertising space on the top and bottom or on the left and right of the chat screen.

Next, an example of a chat room display processing method according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, the process from opening a web page to logging in to a chat room and speaking is explained.

In Figure 3, the viewer first specifies the URL of the web page that is the target of the chat service on the viewer terminal 3, accesses the web server 2, and requests the acquisition of the HTML data of the web page. (S 1).

As a result, the Web server 2 transmits the data of the Web page in the chat service (S2). In the data of this Web page, as shown in Fig. 8, a JavaScript import statement is inserted at an arbitrary position in the body of the source. This JavaScript import statement includes the address of the chat server 1 (“http: 〃 chat / xx.js” in the example shown) as the acquisition address of the chat room generation program!

[0031] The browser program of the browser terminal 3 accesses the designated chat server 1 according to the JavaScript import sentence in the received Web page data, and requests JavaScript (S3).

In response to this, the chat server 1 returns the requested JavaScript to the viewer terminal 3 (S4).

The browser program on the browser terminal 3 responds and executes JavaScript to display a chat room login form on the Web page as shown in Fig. 9 (S5). In the example shown in FIG. 9, the login form includes an input field for inputting a login name, an “OK” button for instructing to log in with the input login name, and a “?” Button.

By pressing the “?” Button, the login form displays the number of users currently in the chat room. In this case, referring to the room management unit 14 force data storage unit 11 of the chat sano 1, the number of people currently staying in the chat room on the web page is counted, and the program generation unit 13 calculates the number. Generate and send JavaScript to display.

[0032] Continuing with Fig. 4, when a viewer wants to join a chat room, enter an arbitrary login name in the login name input field of the mouth form and press the OK button (S6). The party terminal 3 transmits the input login name and referrer (here, the URL of the web page) to the chat server 1 (S7).

[0033] The transmission / reception unit 12 of the chat server 1 receives the transmitted login name and referrer.

(S8).

Then, the room management unit 14 refers to the chat room list in the data storage unit 11 and determines whether or not there is a chat room for this referrer (S9).

If it does not exist as a result of the discrimination, the room management unit 14 registers the referrer and the login name as new chat room data in the chat room list of the data storage unit 1 as a new chat room (S10).

[0034] If it is determined that the chat room has already been registered in the data storage unit 11 as a result of the determination, the room management unit 14 uses the login name entered as a participant in the room. Register (S 11).

If it is determined that the participant is a new participant in the chat room, the room management unit 14 determines whether or not the login name has already been registered and does not overlap with the room name! Sends a message to the viewer terminal 3 to change the login name.

[0035] Upon registering the chat participant, the room management unit 14 assigns and issues a unique session ID to the participant in order to recognize the participant (S12), and the data storage unit In the 11 room list, the login user name and each session ID are stored in association with the address of the Web page (S13).

The program generation unit 13 generates JavaScript for displaying the chat room reflecting the session ID and room member registered in the chat room (S14). This JavaScript is a program that displays a chat room window and the login name, session, and content of the viewers participating in the chat room.

Then, the transmitting / receiving unit 12 transmits the generated avaScript to the viewer terminal 3 that is currently logged in (S15).

[0036] As a result, the window of the web page of the browser terminal 3 displays the chat room window reflecting the viewer who entered the chat room on the web page as shown in FIG. 10 ( S 16).

This chat room window is displayed separately from the login form, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, and this window displays a column for displaying the content of the message and the person who is speaking as shown in FIG. A field for displaying a login name, a field for inputting new message contents, and a button to be pressed when speaking are displayed. The chat room window is semi-transparent so that the body of the Web page can be seen through. This will not prevent you from browsing web pages.

Also, as shown in Fig. 12, the chat room may display only the login name and the content of the message in chronological order.

[0037] The chat room window can be taken to a desired position on the screen by dragging the upper title bar.

In addition, as shown in Fig. 11, the chat room window keeps the relative position on the screen when the web page is scrolled, and it is tracked vertically. , You can continue chatting even on web pages!

[0038] Next, processing when a viewer who logs in to the chat room speaks will be described with reference to FIG.

In Fig. 5, when the viewer makes a speech in the chat room, if he enters the content of the speech in the speech input field and presses the speech button, the viewer terminal 3 stores the content as the next transmission content in the memory. It is temporarily stored (S21), and a speech acquisition process is performed on the chat server 1 periodically (for example, at intervals of several seconds) (S22).

This speech acquisition process is performed by the content of the speech temporarily stored in the memory of the browser terminal 3, the referrer (address of the web page), and the chat server 1 when there is a speech of the viewer. This is done by sending the assigned session ID to the chat server 1 (S23).

Even if there is no utterance content, the browser terminal 3 periodically sends requests for utterance content from other chat room participants by sending the referrer and session ID to the chat server 1.

[0039] If the received referrer, session ID, and message content are present, the transmission / reception processing unit 12 of the chat server 1 receives the message content (S24).

The room management unit 14 refers to the room list in the data storage unit 11 and searches for and acquires a chat room that is currently participating based on the received session ID (S25).

The room management unit 14 adds the contents of the viewer's comments to all the other participants participating in the chat room and stores them in the data storage unit 11 (S26). As a result, the content of the uttered speech is stored in association with all the session IDs stored in association with the referrer of the chat room, and the content of the utterance of the viewer can be viewed by other participants. It becomes like this.

The room management unit 14 then clears all the other participant's comments that have reached the viewer (S27). As a result, only the content of the speech made by the viewer remains, and the content of the speech of each participant and the viewer up to that point is cleared from the data storage unit 11.

[0040] Then, the program generation unit 13 is used to reflect in the chat window all the contents of the participant members list, the session, and the previous power that were updated in the data storage unit 11. JavaScript as a chat room generation program is dynamically generated (S28).

The room management unit 14 updates the last update time to the current time and stores it in the data storage unit 11 (S29). Then, the transmission / reception processing unit 12 transmits the generated JavaScript to the viewer terminal 3 corresponding to the session ID (S30).

[0041] As a result, the browser program of the browser terminal 3 receives and executes JavaScript, and displays the current participant list, session ID, and the remarks of all members in the chat window (S31). The process is terminated.

[0042] In this way, based on the acquisition request for the chat room generation program from the browser terminal 3, the room management unit 14 logs in the login name, session ID, and user's user of the user participating in the chat room. A chat room generation program that extracts the content of the remarks and causes the program generation unit 13 to generate a chat room including the login name and remark content of the chat room participants extracted by the room management unit 14 to the viewer terminal. Since the chat room is generated on the web page by generating this and sending it to the browser terminal 3, the browser terminal 3 has a browser program that can execute JavaScript. If you don't have any other special program, you can chat. Therefore, anyone can easily enjoy chatting.

Since chat rooms are associated with Web page addresses, chat rooms can be created for each Web page. As a result, it is possible to discuss and talk about the topics on each Web page while viewing the Web page.

Furthermore, since the chat room of each viewer terminal 3 is created asynchronously by executing the chat room generation program, the load on the chat server 1 side can be reduced.

[0043] Further, as in the above-described embodiment, each time the chat room generation program is generated, the room management unit 14 stores the remark content stored in the data storage unit 11, so that The amount of data stored in the data storage unit 11 can be reduced, and the load on the chat server 1 can be reduced.

[0044] Next, processing when a chat participant takes a break or leaves will be described.

In FIG. 6, when the chat window or the web page is closed on the viewer terminal 3 side, communication with the chat server is not performed (S40).

In this state, the room management unit 14 of the chat server 1 makes each participant (Web It is determined whether the session with the page viewer is maintained (S41).

If there is a session that has not been referenced for a certain period of time, the room management unit 14 deletes the session ID from the chat room list in the data storage unit 11 and leaves the participant (viewer). Remove the chat room cover (S42).

[0045] In addition, among the registered sessions, even if communication is performed at regular intervals, the state of no speech (such as the state where there is no speech by opening the chat window) continues for a certain period of time or longer. If it is determined, the room management unit 14 sets the session ID in the data storage unit 11 as a break status (S43).

As a result, the room management unit 14 increases the access time interval (for example, changes the access time from 2 seconds to 10 seconds) for the participants in the session having the break status. ) Reduce access load.

For the user who is taking a break, when the program generation unit 12 generates JavaScript, the program generation unit 12 can display it including the status of break, and transmits it to the viewer terminal 3 via the transmission / reception processing unit 12 (S44). . It will be canceled as soon as you speak during the break.

[0046] Next, a process for displaying an advertisement in a chat room will be described with reference to FIG. This example describes an example in which an advertisement is displayed when a viewer joins a chat room and makes a statement.

In FIG. 7, the content of the utterance is input from the browser via the browser terminal 3 and transmitted to the chat server 1 (S51).

The advertisement processing unit 16 of the chat server 1 extracts the words of the utterance content of the viewer (S52) This process uses the existing language processing program to segment the inputted utterance content and break it down into words. Then, referring to a word dictionary database (not shown), the corresponding word is extracted.

[0047] The advertisement processing unit 16 extracts advertisement information associated with the extracted word from the advertisement information storage unit (S53).

In this process, the advertisement processing unit 16 searches and extracts advertisement information stored in the advertisement information storage unit 15 in association with the word, using the extracted word as a key. [0048] Then, the program generation unit 13 generates JavaScript for displaying the extracted advertisement information in the chat window at the same time when the content of the statement is reflected, and the transmission / reception unit 12 transmits it to the viewer terminal 3. Send (S54).

When the browser terminal 3 executes this JavaScript, the selected advertisement is displayed in the advertisement column provided above the chat comment column as shown in FIG. 13 (S55).

In addition, as a method for displaying the advertisement, CM time during which the advertisement flows at a predetermined time interval may be provided, and the advertisement information may be displayed as it is in the chat message column. In this case, as shown in Fig. 15, a message for notifying that commercials will flow will be displayed, and then an advertisement may be displayed on the entire chat screen as shown in Fig. 16.

[0049] In addition, when delivering a periodic advertisement, the advertisement processing unit 16 determines whether the number of communication of the participant (viewer) is more than a certain number for each session ID, or whether the communication time is abnormal for a certain period of time. Discriminate (S56). In this case, the advertisement processing unit 16 counts the number of communications for each session ID, stores the number of times in a memory or the like, and determines the power over a predetermined number of times. In the case of communication time, it is stored in the data storage unit 11 and the access time is measured from the last update time to determine whether it is the distribution timing of the periodic advertisement information. If it is determined that the predetermined number of times or more than the time, the advertisement information processing unit 16 acquires the periodic CM information from the advertisement information storage unit 15 and transmits it to the viewer terminal 3 (S57). This advertisement information may be, for example, HT ML, an image, or a video Flash that can link directly to the sponsor's Web page.

Thereby, the viewer terminal 3 can access the site by linking to a Web page outside the CM destination (S58).

[0050] As described above, advertisement information and keywords related to the advertisement information are registered in the advertisement information storage unit 15, and the advertisement information processing unit 16 extracts and extracts words from the chat room remarks. The advertisement information having the keyword corresponding to the word is extracted, and the program generator 13 generates a chat room generation program for displaying the extracted advertisement information in a predetermined part of the chat room, and the viewer Since it is sent to terminal 3, an advertisement related to the content of the chat room viewer can be provided immediately. It is also possible to provide different advertisement information for each viewer.

[0051] The room management unit 14 confirms a session with the viewer terminal 4 at a predetermined time interval, and puts the viewer terminal 3 that has been maintained in a session and has not made a speech for a predetermined time into a dormant state. Since the session confirmation time interval for the paused browser terminal 3 is increased, the number of chat rooms generated to the paused viewer terminal 3 can be reduced, and the load on the chat server 1 is reduced. Can be reduced.
