Description

  The present invention relates to a selective display of written articles in, for example, consumer generated media (CGM).

  In CGM such as word-of-mouth communication, impressions, opinions, additional information, etc. for one product or service (hereinafter referred to as “product etc.”) are written, and the service provider operating CGM stores these writings. And provided to users. The subject of writing differs for EC sites, blogs, and Twitter. The target on the EC site is, for example, a product. The subject in the blog is, for example, a critique of social phenomena. The target in Twitter (registered trademark) is, for example, written personal thoughts and claims.

  Such writing may end at the first writing (first generation), or may continue from the first writing to other writings (second generation, third generation,...). When writing continues from the origin, these writings form a tree structure or a hierarchical structure.

  Patent Document 1 “Bulletin Board System” discloses a bulletin board system that hierarchically displays articles. In this system, the citation relationship by trackback of the blog article is displayed in a hierarchy.

  Thus, while the rise in the field of consumer generated media (CGM) in which consumers use the Internet and the like to generate content is remarkable, there is also an aspect of information flooding.

  Therefore, in a system that manages written articles that respond by quoting other articles, etc. (for example, bulletin boards, reviews, blogs, Twitter, etc.), only effective and useful information is extracted from the group of articles to be amplified. -It is necessary to select and browse.

  In particular, for hierarchically structured articles, the development of discussions in the submission process can be important, so cutting out a simple article is not only a problem of missing information but also misunderstood the original intention. There is even a fear of inviting.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a network configuration of an article selection display system. The electronic commerce server 101 is an example of a server (article management server) that manages written articles that constitute the article selection display system. The electronic commerce server 101 is connected to the user terminal 102 and the store terminal 103 via the Internet. The store terminal 103 is a terminal of a merchant exhibiting in the virtual shopping mall. The user terminal 102 is a buyer's terminal, and writes word-of-mouth information from the product screen displayed on the browser. Hereinafter, word-of-mouth is described as an example of article writing. However, it may be a written article having a hierarchical structure that accepts written articles associated with one article, such as a bulletin board, a blog, and Twitter.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a tree structure of written articles. The written article has a hierarchical structure as shown in the figure. An article written in response to an article registered earlier is registered in the lower layer. For example, writings such as answers, opinions, impressions, etc. for the upper article are displayed in the lower part. For example, article # 02 is a writing for article # 01.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the article data storage unit. In association with the article ID, a parent article ID, a hierarchy, a writing date / time, a writer code, and article data (article contents) are stored in association with each other. The article ID is identification information of the article, and the parent article ID is the ID of the upper article, that is, the article ID of the reaction source. The hierarchy is a hierarchy to which the article belongs. The writer code is an identification code of a person who writes an article from the user terminal 102. The article data is the contents of writing.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the configuration of the article management server. The electronic commerce server 101 includes an evaluation table 401, an dominance determination unit 402, an dominance table 403, an article data storage unit 404, a display necessity determination unit 405, a display necessity table 406, a selected article screen generation unit 407, and a selected article screen transmission. Part 408.

  The evaluation table 401 manages the evaluation for each article. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the evaluation table. For each article, an evaluation value is stored in association with the article ID. For example, it is set in advance by the evaluation of “helpful” by the viewer or the evaluation of the administrator.

  The superiority / inferiority determination unit 402 determines superiority or inferiority as an article based on the evaluation value. When it is determined to be superior, it is positively displayed as a selection result. If it is determined to be inferior, there is no significance in actively displaying it as an article. That is, the superior article is an article that must be displayed (an article that must be displayed), and the inferior article is an article that is arbitrarily displayed (an article that is not necessarily displayed).

  In the superiority / inferiority table 403, superiority or inferiority of each article is set. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the superiority / inferiority table. For each article, superiority (inferior / inferior) is stored in association with the article ID.

  An example of a tree structure of articles selected according to superiority or inferiority is shown. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a tree structure of selected articles. The articles determined to be dominant are only # 05 and # 06, but articles of # 01, # 02, and # 04 are required to show the relationship with the upper level. In order to understand the development leading to the article # 05, the articles # 01 and # 02 are displayed. Similarly, in order to know the development leading to the article # 06, the article # 04 is also displayed.

  Therefore, the display necessity determination unit 405 determines that the article above the superior article is to be displayed (requires display) even if it is inferior. Other inferior articles are not displayed (not displayed).

  In the display necessity table 406, display necessity of each article is set. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of the display necessity table. For each article, the necessity of display (separate display / non-display) is stored in association with the article ID.

  The sorted article screen generation unit 407 generates a sorted article screen that displays the written articles stored in the article data storage unit 404 in a hierarchical manner according to the necessity of display. The sorted article screen transmission unit 408 transmits the generated sorted article screen. Transmission is an example of an output form. Other output forms such as printing, recording, or screen output are also effective. The sorted article screen generation unit 407 is an example of a sorted article screen output unit.

  In addition to this, the article management server has an article writing unit (not shown). The article writing unit receives article data (article contents) designating the parent article ID from the user terminal 102, sets the logged-in user's code as the writer code, and sets the current date as the writing date and creates a new article. In association with the ID, the parent article ID, the hierarchy, the writing date / time, the writer code, and the article data are written in the article data storage unit 404. The hierarchy is determined by adding 1 to the parent article hierarchy.

  Next, the distribution process of the selected article screen by the electronic commerce server 101 will be described in detail. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a selected article screen distribution processing flow. For example, when there is a request for a selected article screen from the user terminal 102, the superiority / inferiority determination processing by the superiority / inferiority determination unit 402 (S901), the display necessity determination processing by the display necessity determination unit 405 (S902), and the selection article screen generation unit 407 The selected article screen generation process (S903) is performed in this order, and finally the selected article screen transmission process (S904) by the selected article screen transmission unit 408 returns the generated selected article screen to the user terminal 102. Each process will be described in turn below.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a flow of superiority / inferiority determination processing (S901). First, an advantage criterion is specified (S1001). The superiority criterion is an evaluation value condition for determining superiority. An example in which an administrator sets in advance or an example in which a viewer instructs from the user terminal 102 can be considered. In this example, it is assumed that “evaluation value 3 or higher” is the superiority criterion. The following processing is repeated for each article (S1002). The evaluation value of the article is read from the evaluation table 401 (S1003), and it is determined whether the evaluation value satisfies the superiority criterion (S1004). If it is satisfied, it is determined to be superior and stored in the superiority / inferiority table 403 in association with the article ID (S1005). If not satisfied, it is determined as inferior, and similarly stored in the superiority / inferiority table 403 in association with the article ID (S1006). This is processed for all articles and the process ends (S1007).

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a flow of display necessity determination processing (S902). This process is based on the premise that the initial value of display necessity in the display necessity table 406 is not displayed. Then, the following processing is repeated for each article in which the superior / inferior item in the superiority / inferiority table 403 is dominant (S1101). First, the superior article is stored in the display necessity table 406 in association with the article ID as a display necessity (S1102). Then, it is determined whether there is an upper article (S1103). Specifically, when the ID of the parent article is other than the root, or when the hierarchy is the second or higher layer, it is determined that there is an upper article. If there is an upper article, the upper article is stored in the display necessity table 406 in correspondence with the article ID as a display necessity (S1104). Further, the process proceeds to a process of determining whether there is an upper article for the upper article (S1103). Sequentially, this process is repeated until the first layer article is reached. It repeats similarly about all the dominant articles (S1105).

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a flow of the selected article screen generation process (S903). First, the following processing is repeated for each article of the first layer in the article data storage unit 404 (S1201). The display necessity / unnecessity of the article is read from the display necessity table 406, and when the article is not displayed (S1202), the processing for this article is finished as it is. On the other hand, if display is necessary (S1202), the article is arranged on the sorted article screen (S1203). A writer code, a writing date and time, and article data are set in the article display column of the selected article screen. At that time, it is displayed or arranged so that the hierarchy of articles can be grasped. Then, it is determined whether there is a subordinate article (S1204). In this case, the second layer article corresponds to the lower article. If there is an article having the ID of the first layer article as the parent article ID in the article data storage unit 404, the second layer article display process (S1205) is performed with the article as the second layer article. Then, all the first-layer articles are processed and the process ends (S1206).

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the flow of the second layer article display process (S1205). The following process is repeated for each second-layer article determined in S1204 (S1301). If the display necessity of the article is read from the display necessity table 406 and is not displayed (S1302), this processing is not arranged. If display is required (S1302), the article is arranged on the sorted article screen (S1303). At that time, the information is displayed or arranged so as to be understood to be the second layer. Further, it is determined whether there is a subordinate article in the second layer article (S1304). In this case, the article in the third layer corresponds to the subordinate article. If there is an article having the ID of the second layer article as the parent article ID in the article data storage unit 404, the third layer article display process (S1305) is performed with the article as the third layer article. The process ends when all the second-layer articles have been processed (S1306).

  Nesting processing is performed in the same manner for the third and subsequent articles. Thus, articles are displayed according to the tree structure.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of the selected article screen. A code corresponding to the hierarchy is attached to the head of the article content of the article data. For example, in the case of the first layer, “#” is added, in the case of the second layer, “>>” is added, and in the case of the third layer, “>>” is added. Regardless of the code, it is also effective to distinguish the hierarchies by an article arrangement method such as shifting to the right by one step for each hierarchy.

  In this example, the superior article “I hate yogurt is also up!” Is placed following the top inferior article “XX yogurt, refreshing!” And “The taste is refreshing and refreshing.” . Thereby, the development of the notice can be understood. It can be seen that the superior article “From the 2nd week, a little bit better ♪” is also the flow from the inferior article “The stomach is refreshing.” On the other hand, inferior articles such as “Certainly modest” and “Enviable” have been deleted because they are unnecessary for deployment.

  In this example, in the selected article screen generation process, a bold frame is set for the superior article to distinguish it from the inferior article, but it may be displayed in the same manner without distinguishing both.

  The above description is based on an example in which an article is directly written from the user terminal 102. However, the present invention is also effective in displaying an article by a blog trackback.

  The article management server is a computer, and each element can execute processing by a program. Further, the program can be stored in a storage medium so that the computer can read the program from the storage medium.
