The access status update process 501 acquires a display pattern corresponding to the number of accesses acquired from the page information table 105 from the display pattern definition table 510. In this case, the update status of the page information table 105 is compared with the update status acquired last time, and the display pattern is acquired only when the update status is different.
The display pattern definition table 510 defines display patterns 512 corresponding to the number of accesses 511 in advance.
The access status update process 501 displays the display pattern 512 acquired from the display pattern definition table 510 on the access status display unit 522 corresponding to each link 521 of the Web page 520.
The method of updating and displaying the access status is not limited to the push type from the Web server 100, but an update script (for example, JavaScript (“java” is a registered trademark of Sun Microsystems)) is displayed on the Web page 520. ) Or the like may be inserted into the pull type from the user terminal 200. Further, as the display method of the access status, various display patterns can be used. For example, the access status may be displayed with display color shades. Further, the numerical value itself indicating the number of accesses may be displayed without providing the display pattern definition table 510.

Details of the above processing will be described based on each flowchart.
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an access status insertion processing procedure performed by the access status insertion unit 101.
The access status insertion unit 101 accepts access to the Web page from the browser of the user terminal 200, and acquires the Web page from the Web page holding unit 110 (Step 601).
The link tag included in the acquired web page is analyzed (step 602), and it is determined whether the link destination indicated by the link tag is an access status display target (step 603). Specifically, the page information table 105 is referenced based on the URL of the link destination, and if there is a matching URL, it is set as an access display target.
If it is an access status display target, an access status display section is inserted so as to correspond to the link in the Web page (step 604).
On the other hand, if it is not the access status display target, the following processing is performed as it is.
The above process is repeated until the end of the full text (step 605), and after the end of the full text, the Web page with the access status display section inserted is transmitted to the user terminal 200 (step 606). As a result, the Web page having the access status display unit corresponding to the link that is the access status display target is displayed by the browser of the user terminal 200.

Access information composed of the ID is acquired (step 702).
Based on the acquired access information, it is determined whether it is an access status display target (step 703). If it is an access status display target, the access information is added to the access information history table 106 (step 705). In determining whether an access status is to be displayed, the page information table 105 is referred to based on the URL included in the access information, and the presence or absence of a matching URL is confirmed.
The above process is repeated according to the access from the user terminal 200.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing access information analysis processing performed by the access information analysis unit 103.
The access information analysis unit 103 activates an analysis process for each URL stored in the page information table 105, periodically acquires access information from the corresponding access information history table 106, and performs analysis.
Each analysis process first acquires the confirmation interval set for the link destination from the page information table 105 (step 801), and acquires access information from the corresponding access information history table 106 (step 802).
Next, the access status is acquired by analyzing the acquired access information (step 803). In the analysis of access information, the access history information table 106 is referred to, records with duplicate session IDs are deleted, and the total number of unique session IDs is calculated as the access status.
The access status of the page information table 105 is updated according to the last acquired access status (step 804), and after waiting for the elapse of the time set as the confirmation interval (step 805), the processing from step 802 is repeated.
In addition to this, various access statuses can be used depending on how the access status is displayed, such as the frequency extracted from the statistical value.
In addition, since the confirmation interval can be set for each access status display target, it is possible to provide a more detailed access status by shortening the confirmation interval at the link part from the top page where access is concentrated. Since the product display page or the like is not frequently accessed, the confirmation interval may be changed according to the feature of the page by increasing the confirmation interval.
