Description

  The present invention relates to an information collection system for collecting information via a network using a search key, and more particularly, to an information collection system in which another user searches using a result searched and referenced by a certain user. .

  Due to the WWW (World Wide Web) which is a system for sharing information on the Internet, countless public information is scattered on the network. In order to acquire this public information, an information acquisition request is sent to the corresponding WWW server using a WWW browser that is a software for browsing a Web page on the Internet after specifying a URL (Uniform Resource Locator). Follow the instructions. By doing so, the WWW server can transmit the public information of the corresponding URL to the computer in which the WWW browser is installed, and the user can browse the received public information via the WWW browser. Thus, as long as the URL is known, the user can acquire the corresponding information.

  On the other hand, if the URL is not known, the information acquisition request destination WWW server is not determined. Therefore, it is common to acquire the URL of desired information using a Web page search service. Has been done. In order to provide this Web page search service, a search engine (also referred to as a search engine) is a system that makes it possible to search the URL of a Web page by creating a database of Web page information published on the Internet. ).

Although it is possible to collect desired information by using a search engine, the number of URLs registered in the search engine has increased remarkably year by year. Time is required.
In response to such a burden of information collection, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-55866 discloses a user terminal that can efficiently share collected information.

  This user terminal is a user terminal for a network system that shares a database, starts a recording mode in response to an input of a predetermined start request, and detects an input of a predetermined recording request during the recording mode. In the case, the access destination information indicating the access destination of the site being browsed is acquired, stored and stored in the storage area, the recording mode is terminated in response to an input of a predetermined stop request, and the recording mode For each site in which access destination information is stored, data input is received, and for each site, information original data including the input data and the stored access destination information is generated, and stored in the database. To register.

According to this user terminal, site information and the like can be registered in the database with a simple operation, and user comments and the like for each site can be registered with a simple operation.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-353313 discloses an information search method capable of searching for information based on a search condition input and set by a user.

  The information search method includes a step of inputting and setting a search condition for searching for material data on a recording medium in the information search method using a database, and the material based on the input and set search condition A step of outputting numerical data related to the search result of the data to the screen; a step of storing the search result material data corresponding to the numerical data and the search conditions in a file format; and the stored file format data. The reading step and the step of adding a new search condition to the read search condition and obtaining the updated search result document data from the read search result document data are sequentially performed.

According to this information search method, it is possible to obtain desired data without performing a search repeatedly using a stored file, and thus it is possible to quickly search for information data.
JP 2002-55866 A JP-A-11-353313

  By the way, at the municipal conferences and prefectural symposiums, the contents of the meetings and discussions are recorded with a voice recorder such as a tape recorder, IC recorder, etc. The local government places an order. In recent years, an information disclosure system has been established, which is a system for disclosing records and materials related to politics and administration of the national and local governments to the general public who is the sovereign. The contents of the meeting are made public immediately from the homepage.

  Conventionally, in the case of tape transcription, in general, a plurality of rewriters, who specialize in tape transcription, share the recording tape of one meeting. The speech handled by Rewriter includes a number of highly specialized keywords, such as administrative terms and local proper nouns, taking the municipal meeting as an example. Each Rewriter can use the Web page search service introduced in the background art. We are investigating highly specialized keywords. Of course, Rewriter is working not only using the Web page search service but also using a national language dictionary, encyclopedia, yearbook, picture book, and the like.

  For a single task of transcription of recorded data at a conference, symposium, etc., each rewriter has a responsible part, and each rewriter performs the transcription of the part in charge, which is the same conference, symposium, etc. For this reason, keywords assigned to each part of the recorded data are duplicated even though the parts in charge are different.

  Nevertheless, each rewriter has performed a duplicate search for the same keyword, and as a whole has the problem that the work is performed inefficiently. Thus, the delay due to the inefficiency of the tape transcription work hinders the speed of information disclosure.

  If the user terminal disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-55866 described in the background art is used, if a URL viewed by a certain rewriter is in a recording mode, the URL is registered in the database, and other rewriters register the URL registered by a certain rewriter. Although it is possible to refer to the URL, the other rewriters do not know what URL the registered rewriter has viewed as a keyword, and this does not necessarily prevent a duplicate search, and there are an infinite number of registered URLs. On the other hand, there are cases where it does not lead to efficiency. In addition, not all rewriters do the same work, and URLs related to investigations in different works are mixedly registered, which often causes inefficiency of search. Furthermore, URLs that have been registered once are continuously registered, and the number of registered URLs increases each time work is performed, so search efficiency decreases. These problems cannot be solved even with the information retrieval method disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-353313.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and when the members of the group work together, the search work is efficiently performed when using the search service using the search key. An object is to provide an information collection system that can be implemented.

An information collection system according to the present invention includes a user computer used by users who perform joint work, an information distribution server that transmits information indicated by the address to the requested computer when there is an information acquisition request with an address, and When there is a search request with a search key, a search of a database that associates information of the information distribution server with the address indicating the location of the information is performed based on the search key, and at least the information of the information distribution server that has been hit A search server that sends an address corresponding to a part to the computer that requested the search server as a search result, and if there is an information acquisition request from the user computer, it makes an information acquisition request to the information distribution server instead. An intermediate server that makes a search request to the search server instead when there is a search request from the computer An information collection system comprising, searches the intermediate server, user identification information for identifying the user, the work ID for identifying the work, are recorded in association with the search key and the address receiving result storage means, the work ID, a working memory means are recorded in association with information indicating the user identification information and work period of the work, the user identification information input in the user computer means, retrieval key stored in the search result storage means, and means for determining whether matching the search key input from the user computer, a search key input by the user computer the search results when a search key stored is determined that matches the storage means, and user identification information inputted by the user computer, before User identification information associated with the matched search key stored in the search result storage means is associated with the same work ID and associated with the work ID in the work storage means. The collaborator determination means for determining whether or not the current date is included in the information indicating the work period, the collaborator determination means, the user identification information input by the user computer, User identification information associated with the matched search key stored in the search result storage means is associated with the same work ID and associated with the work ID in the work storage means. If it is determined that the contains the current date on the information indicating the working period, as a search result that is registered with the address stored associated with the search key It means for transmitting to the user computer, the registration acceptance means for accepting registration of an instruction of the user computer from the search results, if the registration acceptance means gave receives an instruction register of the search results, the user identification And means for associating information, work ID, search key and address with each other and recording it in the search result storage means.

  As described above, according to the present invention, a user inputs a search key using a user computer to request a search from the intermediate server, and the intermediate server passes the search key to the search server and receives the search result. When the intermediate server accepts a search key from the user computer, the search key that is the same as the search key is registered in the registered search result and the search result registered by inquiring, and the current user When a search result is registered by a user engaged in the same work as the user who uses the computer, the registered address is sent to the user computer in association with the search key, and the user computer searches the search server. In addition to the search results by, the registered search results that match the search key among the search results registered in the intermediate server The address of the search result registered by the user engaged in the same work is displayed, the user selects from the search result acquired through the intermediate server, and the intermediate server acquires the information indicated by the address of the selected search result The intermediate server receives information from the information distribution server indicated by the address of the selected search result, and the information indicated by the address of the selected search result is acquired via the intermediate server, while the specified search result Since the registration instruction is received and the user identification information, the search key, and the address are associated and recorded in the search result storage means, the search result presented to the user and the search that the user requested to acquire information Instead of simply registering the results, only useful information that the user actually requested to register is registered, and not only the search results by the search server but also registration The search result address that matches the search key is also received by the user computer, and the user who has performed the same task can easily access the information that has already been browsed. There is an effect that information can be collected smoothly.

  Although the intermediate server has “means for receiving user identification information input from the user by the user computer”, the reception of the user identification information can also be received as authentication. Accepting the ID and PASSWORD at the intermediate server is nothing other than receiving the user identification information. This is because the user can be identified by the ID and the PASSWORD.

  “When a user who enters a search key is determined to be a collaborator, the address stored in association with the search key is sent to the user computer as a registered search result”. Alternatively, the information indicated by the address may be registered in addition to the address when the search result is registered, and the information may be transmitted from the search result storage unit to the user computer together with the address.

The search result of the search server is a search result obtained as a result of executing a search with the search key input to the search server. On the other hand, the registered search result is a search result recorded in the search result storage means in accordance with a user registration instruction.
A rewriter terminal will be described later as an example of the user computer.

A so-called search engine server will be described later as an example of the search server. Generally, the information searched by the search server is a copy of the information acquired from the information distribution server or a copy of a part of the information.
A so-called WWW server will be described later as an example of the information distribution server.
The URL will be described later as an example of the address.
In addition to the user identification information, the search key, and the address, information acquired from the information distribution server can be included in the target stored in the search result storage unit by the intermediate server.

The search result storage means or the work storage means may be a database in addition to a physical device such as a memory or a hard disk.
The input search key may be not only a morpheme and a word but also a clause, a sentence, and a paragraph.

In the information collecting system according to the present invention, the registration receiving means accepts a registration instruction as a search result of a search server among the search results as necessary.
As described above, according to the present invention, since the search result of the search server or the registered search result is accepted only when the search result of the search server is specified, the registration instruction by the user is accepted. Thus, there is an effect that it is possible to prevent registration of a search result that has already been registered, without receiving an instruction for registration from a user who has designated the search result.

Information collection system according to the present invention, if necessary, the intermediate server, if the user identified by task belonging there are a plurality, of work from multiple work by selection in the user computer from the user Specific work receiving means for receiving a specification is further included, and the collaborator determination means performs a determination process on the specified work received by the specific work receiving means .

According to the present invention, when used for user belongs to a plurality of work current to be undertaken now will be working from a plurality of tasks by the selection of the user is identified, desired current information collection Sending search results registered for work different from the work to the user's computer and browsing the information by selecting the search results only from the search results registered for the work for which information is currently being collected. Therefore, there is no need to browse information collected by work different from the target work, and information can be collected efficiently .

Information collection system according to the present invention, if necessary, the intermediate server, when transmitting search results registered Results of the search server to a user computer, the search results registered a search result of the search server Further includes means for determining whether or not a matching search result is included, and means for deleting the matching search result from the search result of the search server when it is determined that the search result includes the matching search result.

According to the present invention, when there is a registered search result address the user has now matches the search key are targeted into the address of the search server search results, search of duplicate search server Since the search result related to the address of the result is deleted and the search result of the search server is sent to the user computer, it is possible to avoid the user from acquiring and browsing the information indicated by the same address in duplicate, and efficient information It has the effect that collection can be achieved.

The intermediate server according to the present invention receives a search key input by a user who performs collaborative work using a user computer, and searches a database in which information is associated with the address of the information based on the search key. In response to a request for a search with the received search key, the search result of the search server is received from the requested search server, the received search result of the search server is transmitted to the user computer, and there is an information acquisition request with an address. The information indicated by the address of the search result information selected in response to the user's selection using the user computer for the search result of the search server to the information distribution server that sends back the information indicated by the address to the requested computer The address indicated by the address is received from the requested information distribution server, and the received address is received by the user computer. An intermediate server for transmitting information indicating the said means for receiving a user identification information input by the user computer, a means for receiving an instruction search results registered with the user computer, the search results instructs the receiving of registration, user identification information for identifying the user, means for storing in the work ID, the search result storage means in association with the search key and the address for identifying the work, the storing the unit and the a input search key the search result storage means is search key input is determined whether corresponding to the search key that is stored in the search result storage means using a user computer if the search key is is judged to match, match stored user identification information of the user that entered the search key and the search result storage means And user identification information with relation to the search key, in advance work ID, in working memory means which stores in association with user identification information and work period, associated with the same task ID, and the work Means for determining whether the current date is included in the information indicating the work period associated with the ID, user identification information of the user who has input the search key, and the search result storage means; The user identification information associated with the matched search key is associated with the same work ID, and the current date is included in the information indicating the work period associated with the work ID. If it is determined that there is one and means for sending to the user computer address being stored in association with the search key.
Thus, the present invention can be grasped as a sub-combination invention of only an intermediate server.

In the information collection system according to the present embodiment, a rewriter that collaborates with a plurality of members uses a rewriter terminal 30 that is used for information retrieval, and is input from the rewriter at the rewriter terminal 30 in response to a request from the rewriter terminal 30 A search is performed with the search key via the search engine server 40, the search result is received from the search engine server 40, sent to the rewriter terminal 30, and the selected search is received upon selection of the search result from the rewriter terminal 30. The information indicated by the result is received from the corresponding WWW server 50, sent to the rewriter terminal 30, and includes an intermediate server 10 that stores a search result selected in response to a specific operation by the rewriter in the database.

  In FIG. 1, a plurality of rewriter terminals 30 and an intermediate server 10 are connected to the same LAN (Local Area Network). This LAN is connected to the Internet using a router as a gateway, and a plurality of search engine servers 40 and a plurality of WWW servers. Reference numeral 50 denotes a network configuration connected to the Internet. Here, this network configuration is an example, and those skilled in the art can make design changes according to the system construction environment as appropriate. For example, although the intermediate server 10 and the plurality of rewriter terminals 30 are connected to the same LAN, the intermediate server 10 and the rewriter terminal 10 may communicate with each other via the Internet or a WAN (Wide Area Network). Well, it is not necessary for all the rewriter terminals 10 to be connected to the same LAN.

  Further, although only a router is shown as a network device, a network is configured by appropriately interposing network devices such as a repeater, a hub, a bridge, and a layer three switch. The reason why the detailed explanation was not given is that this part is not an essential part of the present invention and can be appropriately designed by a person skilled in the art.

(2) Detailed Block Configuration of Intermediate Server FIG. 2 is a detailed block configuration diagram of the intermediate server according to the present embodiment.
The intermediate server 10 uses a login unit 11 that authenticates the ID and password sent from the rewriter terminal 30 and a search key (also called a search keyword, search word, or keyword) sent from the rewriter terminal 30. The search word acquisition means 12 for making a search request to the search engine server 40, the search result from the search engine server 40 are received, the search result is temporarily stored, the search result accumulation TBL is referred to using the search key as a key, It is determined whether there is a search result stored for the search key (first determination), and when it is determined that there is a search result, the rewriter ID and the work ID of the rewriter currently using the work TBL are used as keys. Refer to and determine whether the search result is currently within the work period (second determination), A search result acquisition / display unit 13 that generates a page using the search result so that the rewriter terminal 30 can display the result based on the result and the second determination result, and sends the generated page to the rewriter terminal 30, and a rewriter terminal In response to a search result registration command sent out from 30, the search result storage unit 14 registers a work ID, a rewriter ID, a search key, and a URL as a selected search result in the search result storage TBL.
The rewriter ID is information for identifying the rewriter, and is information used for authentication in this embodiment.

  The WWW server 50 generally stores information and the address of the information, and transmits the information at the corresponding address to the other computer that has requested the information in response to the information acquisition request accompanied by the address from the other computer. . In general, the search engine server 40 automatically selects the information of the WWW server 50 (more precisely, a copy of the information stored in the WWW server 50 or a copy of a part of the information) and the address of the information. Information is collected, stored in the storage means, and information in the storage means that matches the search key is searched in response to a search request accompanied by a search key from another computer. And the address of the information is sent to the other computer that requested it. The search engine server 40 and the WWW server 50 are not an essential part of the present invention, and various well-known techniques exist and can be appropriately realized by those skilled in the art. Therefore, detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  The rewriter terminal 30 has a general computer configuration as will be described later, and has a function of browsing and displaying a Web page by installing a Web browser. Here, in the configuration of the present embodiment, the essential part of the invention of the information collection system is the intermediate server 10, but the login means 11, the search word acquisition means 12, the search result acquisition / display means 13, and the search result storage. The means 14 can also be mounted on the rewriter terminal 30 (only some means can be mounted instead of all means).

(3) Hardware Configuration FIG. 3 is a hardware configuration diagram of a computer used in the information collection system according to this embodiment.

And a drive 121 for reading and writing a storage medium such as a flexible disk, a CD-ROM, and a DVD-ROM. The intermediate server 10, the rewriter terminal 30, the search engine server 40, and the WWW server 50 have the hardware configuration of the computer 100. Of course, some hardware components can be changed. In particular, the intermediate server 10, the search engine server 40, and the WWW server 50 can be simultaneously accessed from a large number of computers. It is common to use a high performance computer consisting of high specification parts. The intermediate server 10, the search engine server 40, and the WWW server 50 can also be constructed by a plurality of computers.

(4) Structure of data used FIG. 4 shows a table structure of a database used in the intermediate server according to the present embodiment.
The rewriter TBL has attributes of a rewriter ID and a name. Since the login unit 11 refers to the rewriter TBL to perform personal authentication, a password may be added to the attribute. In this embodiment, the password is recorded in a separate file in association with each line (tuple, set) of the rewriter TBL in order to strengthen computer security. In addition to this, the intermediate server 10 does not construct the login unit 11 in the intermediate server 10 but adds a dedicated authentication server having the function of the login unit 11 to the system configuration, so that the intermediate server 10 performs authentication processing on the authentication server. It may be configured as required.

  The work TBL has attributes of work ID, work period, and rewriter ID. The work ID is identification information given for each tape raising work. The work period is a scheduled work period of the corresponding work. The rewriter ID is identification information given to each rewriter. Although it is the same as the ID used for authentication, the rewriter ID and the ID used for authentication may be different.

The search result accumulation TBL has attributes of work ID, rewriter ID, search keyword, and search result URL. The search result URL is information included in the search result received by the intermediate server 10 from the search engine server 40. In particular, the search result URL stored in the search result storage TBL is browsed by the rewriter, and the rewriter Is a URL registered by pressing the registration button and requesting registration.
Here, in this embodiment, a database is used, but a configuration in which data is stored using a file system may be employed.

(5) Operation FIG. 5 is an operation explanatory diagram of the information collection system according to the present embodiment.

To display in the browser window. The rewriter inputs a search key to the rewriter terminal 30 and presses the search command button with a mouse pointer (a symbol indicating the position pointed to by the mouse). The search key is received by the search engine server 40 from the rewriter terminal 30 via the intermediate server 10, the search engine server 40 performs a search process using the search key, and a search result Web page is transmitted to the intermediate server 10. Is done. The intermediate server 10 also generates and transmits a Web page using the received search result Web page, and the rewriter terminal 30 receives and displays it in the right frame of the browser window as shown in FIG. 5B. . At this time, a blank Web page (a page on which no character or figure is displayed) is displayed in the left frame of the browser window. In the right frame of the browser window, a plurality of web page links (associations for jumping from one web page to another web page) related to the search key are displayed as a search result, and the rewriter is used for the rewriter. A desired link is selected with the mouse pointer using the mouse of the terminal 30. A Web page acquisition request from the rewriter terminal 30 is made to the WWW server 50 indicated by the URL related to the selected link via the intermediate server 10. This is because the link of the Web page generated by the intermediate server 10 is replaced with the URL of the intermediate server including the link of the WWW server. The WWW server 50 transmits a Web page (see FIG. 5C) indicated by the URL to the intermediate server 10, and the intermediate server 10 transmits the received Web page and a Web on which search result registration command buttons are arranged. Send the page. In the rewriter terminal 30, a Web page in which a search result registration command button is arranged is displayed in the left frame of the browser window, and a Web page of a URL related to the selected link is displayed in the right frame (FIG. 5D). )reference). When the rewriter presses the command button displayed in the left frame of the window, the URL, search key, rewriter ID, and work ID of the Web page currently displayed in the right frame are registered.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the information collection system will be described in detail by dividing it into a plurality of processes. The login process mainly responsible for the login means 11, the search process primarily responsible for the search word acquisition means 12, the search acquisition process primarily responsible for the search result acquisition / display means 13, and the search result accumulation This is a search result accumulation process in which the means 14 is responsible for operation.

Therefore, detailed description thereof is omitted here.

(5.3) Search Acquisition Processing FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the search acquisition display processing of the system according to the present embodiment.
The intermediate server 10 acquires the search result Web page of the search engine server 40 and temporarily records it in the storage means (step 301). Here, the storage means for recording may be a database, but may be an allocated area of the main memory.
The intermediate server 10 queries the search result accumulation TBL using the search key input from the rewriter in the search process as a key (step 311). The intermediate server 10 determines whether there is a search result stored for this search key (step 312).

  If it is determined in step 312 that there is a search result, the intermediate server 10 queries the work TBL using the work ID and rewriter ID of the search result as keys (step 321). The intermediate server 10 determines whether or not the search result is registered by a collaborator of the work within the current work period (step 322). More specifically, in the case where there is a work TBL in a row having the same combination as the work ID and the rewriter ID in the search result, it is determined whether or not the current date is included in the work period of the corresponding row. Can be determined.

  If it is determined in step 322 that the search result is registered by a collaborator who is currently working within the work period, the intermediate server 10 generates a Web page for the search result screen 1 and sends it to the rewriter terminal 30. Transmit (step 331). The rewriter terminal 30 receives the Web page of the search result screen 1 and displays it on the browser window as shown in FIG. 10A (step 332). As shown in FIG. 10A, the search result screen 1 includes a Web page in which a text box for inputting a search key and a search command button are arranged in the left frame of the browser, and an upper right frame of the browser. It consists of a Web page using the search result URL of the corresponding search result acquired by querying the search result accumulation TBL, and a Web page acquired from the search engine server 40 in the lower right frame of the browser.

  If it is determined in step 312 that there is no search result, and if it is determined in step 322 that the search result is not registered by a collaborator of the work currently in the work period, the intermediate server 10 A Web page of screen 2 is generated and transmitted to the rewriter terminal 30 (step 341). The rewriter terminal 30 receives the Web page of the search result screen 2 and displays it on the browser window as shown in FIG. 10B (step 342). The search result screen 2 has a form in which the upper right frame of the search result screen 1 disappears as can be seen by referring to FIG.

(5.4) Information Result Accumulation Processing When the Web page shown in FIG. 10A or 10B is displayed in the browser window of the rewriter terminal 30, the search result link is used with the mouse. Selecting a point changes the window display from FIG. 11 (a) to FIG. 11 (b). That is, the displayed Web page is changed by selecting the search result. In the left frame of the browser window, a Web page on which a search result registration command button transmitted from the intermediate server 10 is arranged is displayed. On the other hand, the web page linked to the selected search result is displayed via the intermediate server 10 in the right frame of the browser.

  When the Web page of the search result screen 1 is displayed in the browser window, whether the link destination of the Web page in the lower right frame or the link destination of the Web page in the upper right frame is selected, FIG. As shown in FIG. 12A, a web page in which search result registration command buttons are arranged in the left frame may be displayed as shown in b). However, when the link destination of the web page in the upper right frame is selected, as shown in FIG. In the left frame, a Web page in which no search result registration command button is arranged is displayed (the command button displayed in FIG. 12A is displayed with dotted lines and white characters, and the command button is not arranged. When the link destination of the Web page in the lower right frame is selected, the search result is registered in the left frame as shown in FIG. It is desirable to adopt a structure for displaying a Web page that Place a command button. With such a configuration, when the link destination of the Web page in the upper right frame generated using the search result URL stored in the search result storage TBL is selected, the search result registration command button is displayed on the browser. Without being displayed in the window, the rewriter does not instruct to register the search result by mistake. In order to prevent the search result from being registered by mistake, in addition to displaying the Web page on which the search result registration command button is not arranged as described above, whether or not the search result URL matches with the search result URL of the search result storage TBL is determined. It is possible to adopt a configuration in which inquiries and judgments are made at the time of registration, and when registration has already been made, no registration is performed. In addition, if the command button is not arranged, a symbol that cannot be pressed can be displayed instead of the command button, or even if the command button is arranged, it can be disabled even if pressed. , It can be explicitly notified that it has already been registered in the rewriter.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the search result accumulation process of the system according to this embodiment.
When the rewriter presses the command button arranged in the left frame of the browser window shown in FIG. 11B or 12B with the mouse pointer, a registration instruction is transmitted to the intermediate server 10, and the intermediate server 10 receives the instruction. The URL, rewriter ID, work ID, and search keyword of the Web page currently displayed in the right frame are acquired (step 401), and the URL, rewriter ID, work ID, and search keyword are stored in the work result storage TBL. Register (step 411). Here, the URL of the Web page, the rewriter ID, the work ID, and the search keyword are acquired. However, since authentication has been performed, the rewriter ID is specified, and the work ID is also obtained by browsing the work TBL using the rewriter ID as a key. The specified search keyword can be acquired by temporarily storing the search keyword in association with the rewriter ID when a search request is made to the search engine server 40 via the intermediate server 10, and the URL of the Web page can also be acquired via the intermediate server 10. When a Web page is acquired from the WWW server 50, it can be acquired by temporarily storing it in association with the rewriter ID.

(6) Detailed Explanation of Generation of Web Page by Intermediate Server (6.1) Generation of Web Page Using Search Result Web Page from Search Engine FIG. 14 uses the Web page from the search engine according to this embodiment. It is outline | summary explanatory drawing of the production | generation of the web page by the intermediate | middle server.
A search request accompanied by a search key input by the rewriter is made to the browser of the rewriter terminal 30 (S1), and the intermediate server 10 performs an inquiry process to the search engine server 40 as a server side application (S2). The intermediate server 10 sends an http request to the search engine server 40 using the http client component (S3). The search engine server 40 performs a search process using the received search key to generate a Web page, and then sends the Web page to the intermediate server 10 as an http response (S4). The intermediate server 10 receives an http response from the search engine server 40 as an http client component, and passes it to the query processing of the server side application to the search server (S5). The query processing to the search server is passed to the original HTML generation process of the server side application (S6), and the unique HTML generation process links the link on the Web page from the search engine server 40 to the rewriter terminal 30 via the intermediate server 10. To change to access the WWW server 50 (S7). The intermediate server 10 transmits the Web page whose link has been changed to the rewriter terminal 30 (S8).

(6.2) Generation of Web Page Using Web Page from WWW Server FIG. 15 is a schematic explanatory diagram of generation of a Web page by an intermediate server using the Web page from the WWW server according to the present embodiment.
By selecting the link with the mouse pointer on the Web page on which the search result link displayed on the browser of the rewriter terminal 30 is displayed, the link is changed as described in (6.1). The intermediate server 10 is accessed instead of the WWW server 50 (S1). The intermediate server 10 performs the acquisition process of the Web page indicated by the URL to the (general) WWW server 50 as a server-side application (S2). The intermediate server 10 sends an http request to the WWW server 50 using the http client component (S3). The WWW server 50 reads the web page based on the received http request, and then sends the web page to the intermediate server 10 as an http response (S4). The intermediate server 10 is an http client component, receives an http response from the WWW server 50, and passes it to the server side application's own HTML generation process (S5). This unique HTML generation process changes the link on the Web page from the WWW server 50 so that the rewriter terminal 30 accesses the WWW server 50 via the intermediate server 10 (S6). The intermediate server 10 holds the URL requested by the http client component (that is, the URL required when acquiring the current Web page from the WWW server 50) in the buffer area (S7). The stored URL is read from the buffer at the time of URL registration processing, and registration processing is performed using the read URL. The intermediate server 10 transmits the Web page generated in S6 to the rewriter terminal 3 (S8).

(7) Effects of this Embodiment As described above, according to the information collection system according to this embodiment, the rewriter accesses the intermediate server 30 using the rewriter terminal 30 and inputs a search key through authentication to retrieve information. The intermediate server 30 passes the search key to the search engine server 40 to request a search process, and simply transmits the search result as a result of the process to the rewriter terminal 30. In addition, it is determined whether the search key associated with the search result URL registered in the past by the rewriter performing the same work as the rewriter instructing the current search matches the search key related to the current search instruction. If they match, not only the search results acquired from the search engine server 40 but also the registered search result URLs are transmitted as separate Web pages. Therefore, the rewriter displays not only the search result by the self search key but also the search result of the rewriter performing the same work, so that more efficient search work can be performed and the tape transcription can be completed quickly. it can.

  The search result is registered by the rewriter selecting the link of the URL of the search result displayed in the browser window of the rewriter terminal 30 with the mouse pointer, and the link destination Web page is linked to the link destination via the intermediate server 10. Acquired from the WWW server 50 storing the Web page, the Web page is displayed in the browser window, a search result registration command button is displayed, and the rewriter presses this command button to give a registration instruction. Since the URL of the Web page currently displayed is registered in the intermediate server 10, it is considered that the rewriter needs to register, avoiding the adverse effect of registering all the URLs of the Web page through which the intermediate server 10 is interposed. Since only the URL of the registered Web page is registered, the URL of the search result with high usability It is registered, to promote the efficient search work. In particular, in the present embodiment, when a link is selected with a mouse pointer on a Web page made up of URL links of registered search results, the search result registration command button is not displayed on the browser window, and thus duplicated. Registration of the search result URL can be avoided.

(8) Supplementary note of this embodiment (8.1) Applicability to other than tape transcription In this embodiment, the embodiment has been described for a rewriter who works as a tape transcription, but this is not limited to this tape transcription work. However, the effect of the present invention can be enjoyed by applying the system of the present invention in a situation where the work is performed while simultaneously performing searches.
For example, when translating a foreign language document such as a foreign language document or a foreign language paper, a plurality of translators may collaborate, and this case is also applicable. In addition, it can be used in a software design environment, a product design environment, and the like. The present invention can be applied to an environment where members collaborate and members examine the same content in the same way.

(8.2) Applicability in a network configuration not via the Internet In this embodiment, the search engine server 40 and the WWW server 50, the rewriter terminal 30 and the intermediate server 10 can communicate with each other via the Internet. However, the present invention can also be applied to a configuration in which the intermediate server 10, the rewriter terminal 30, the search engine server 40, and the WWW server 50 are connected to one closed LAN without going through the Internet.

(Other embodiments)
(Similar search key)
In the first embodiment, the comparison between the current search key and the search key of the search result stored in the database is described as a match. However, in addition to the complete match, a partial match is also included. You can also.
In addition, even when the search key that is currently the target and the search key of the search result stored in the database have the same or similar name, the same or similar names can be regarded as matching. There are various well-known techniques regarding whether the appearance is similar, whether the designation is similar, and whether the concept is similar, and a description thereof will be omitted because those skilled in the art can appropriately implement it. As an example of a technique that can be used for concept similarity, a thesaurus database can be used, thereby realizing whether or not the concepts are similar.

  In this way, it is desirable to be able to set which case is considered to be the match with the search key when implementation is performed in which a match other than a perfect match is considered. The system operator may set the information collection system as a whole, but it is desirable that the rewriter can set each person using the rewriter terminal 30. For example, when the rewriter performs a search using the rewriter terminal 30, it is desirable that the search is set on the search Web page displayed in the browser window and the search is instructed.

(Cooperation between intermediate server and WWW server)
In the first embodiment, the intermediate server 10 is configured to have a Web page generation function. However, in the Web page generation, data necessary for the intermediate server 10 is transmitted to another computer, and the rewriter terminal 30 is used. It can also be configured to transmit to.
As a more specific mounting format of the configuration in which the intermediate server 10 has a Web page generation function, a format in which the function of the intermediate server 10 is added as an add-in to the WWW server is an example. Further, a format in which the function of the intermediate server 10 is added to the proxy server is also an example. Even when the proxy server is used, the link of the Web page may be rewritten. However, since the browser of the rewriter terminal 30 acquires information via the proxy server, the link can be rewritten without rewriting. can do.

(Specify search engine)
In the first embodiment, a search request is made to the search engine server 40 preset in the intermediate server 10, but a plurality of search engine servers 40 are selected on the Web page of the keyword input screen. It is also possible to arrange a list box that can perform a search request to the search engine server 40 selected by the rewriter. Here, the list box is an example, and a text box for designating the search engine server 40 is arranged. In this text box, information that can specify the search engine server 40 such as a URL or an IP address of the search engine server 40 is stored. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a search request is made to the designated search engine server 40 by inputting. However, if the specified information of the specified search engine server 40 is incorrect, or if there is no response from the search engine server 40, the other search engine server 40 is automatically replaced and handled. It is desirable.

(Match determination of search result URL of search result storage TBL and URL acquired from search engine server)
In the first embodiment, when the current search key matches the stored search key, the search result URL associated with the stored search key is read, and the search engine server The search results are transmitted to the rewriter terminal 30 together with the search results and displayed separately from each other. However, if the stored search results and the search results of the search engines have a common URL, the search engine It is also possible to exclude the common URL from the search results and transmit it to the rewriter terminal 30 and prevent the rewriter from browsing the duplicated link destination.

(When the same rewriter performs multiple tasks during the same period)
The rewriter may perform a plurality of operations simultaneously. In this case as well, in the first embodiment, the match between the current search key and the stored search key is determined, and the match is further made. When the same work as the rewriter associated with the stored search key is being performed, the URL of the stored search result is displayed. The work currently being performed by the rewriter is identified and this work is performed. It is also possible to determine a match with a search key registered by a collaborative rewriter, and the intermediate server 10 greatly increases the number of comparisons between the search key stored and the match of the current search key. If the URL of the search key stored in association with the current work and the URL of the search key stored in association with other work are reduced, the former URL It is tend to have information more suitable for the work, leading to further improvement in work efficiency rewriter.

  The work currently performed by the rewriter is determined by determining whether or not the rewriter has a plurality of work at the time of authentication, and if it is determined that the work has been performed, a Web page for selecting the work is displayed. This is made possible by transmitting to the rewriter terminal 30 and selecting by the rewriter. In addition, when a system for managing work is constructed, it is also possible to construct a mechanism for the intermediate server 10 to acquire information indicating which work is currently performed by the target rewriter from the system. It becomes possible.

(Display of search keys registered with the same work ID)
In the first embodiment, the rewriter inputs the search key to the browser, thereby determining the match between the input search key and the stored search key. The search result URL is displayed, but it is also possible to use the search result storage TBL to refer to the search key stored by the rewriter performing the same work as the current work of the rewriter. In some cases, the rewriter may accidentally listen to the sound of the audio data produced by the tape, or may be recorded using the wrong term. In this case, even if the rewriter searches using the search key, the search results are not displayed. You will not be able to obtain or get unnecessary information, but by browsing the search keys accumulated by other rewriters, you can avoid these situations and perform erroneous tape transcription. Sealed or, it is possible to quickly complete the work of the cause tape. Furthermore, when displaying a search key, it is desirable to display information that can identify the rewriter, for example, a name, and refer to a search key entered by a competent rewriter rather than a search key entered by a new rewriter. The work can be done more quickly. This is particularly effective when there are a large number of registered search keys. The information that can specify the rewriter in this way can be displayed together with the search key. In addition, when the rewriter browses the search result in the browser window, the URL of the search result and the rewriter associated with the URL (that is, It is also possible to display information that can specify the rewriter of the search result URL).

(Automatic registration based on browsing time or browsing count)
In the first embodiment, the URL of the currently browsed Web page is registered with the search key by pressing the registration command button with the mouse pointer, but a predetermined time has passed since browsing. In such a case, the URL of the corresponding Web page can be automatically registered when the number of times of browsing the same site has passed a predetermined number of times.

  Whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since browsing is determined by adding a plug-in that measures the browsing time to the browser of the rewriter terminal 30, and moving to another page with the start of browsing that the page is displayed. The configuration in which the plug-in transmits the browsing time until the end of browsing, such as when the plug-in is terminated, to the intermediate server 10, or after the intermediate server 10 transmits the Web page from the WWW server 50 to the rewriter terminal 10, It becomes possible by adopting a configuration in which the browsing time is until the Web page is transmitted to the rewriter terminal 10.

  The number of browsing of the same site is the number of browsing of Web pages (Web pages of the same site) stored in the same WWW server 50, or the number of browsing of Web pages in a path name up to the same folder name. In the case of the number of browsing times, the URL of the Web page of the maximum number of browsing times is to be registered, and registration is performed by associating a plurality of URLs with one search key. In this case, when displaying in the browser window of the rewriter terminal 30, it is desirable to demarcate the URLs of the Web pages of the maximum number of times viewed (separated by a frame line) and distinguish them from other URLs. . By doing so, the rewriter can recognize that the maximum number of browsing web pages belong to one site, and browse the same site instead of browsing multiple different sites to collect information. Can collect information efficiently.

“Http://jp.fujitsu.com/group/shikoku/services/solitions/index.html” has the following configuration.
“Http”: Scheme name “jp.fujitsu.com”: Server name,
“/Group/shikoku/services/solitions/index.html”: The Web page stored by the WWW server 50 having the same path name is, for example, a Web page stored by the server specified by “jp.fujitsu.com” ( Here, although the same WWW server 50 is used, the entity may be composed of a plurality of WWW servers 50. If the server names are the same, the same WWW server is used). The web pages in the path name up to the folder name are, for example, web pages under “/ group / shikoku / services / solitions /” and web pages under “/ group / shikoku /”.
When browsing by the browser of the rewriter terminal 30, the intermediate server 10 holds the URL in order to pass through the intermediate server 10, and the intermediate server 10 can count.

  With this configuration, the rewriter is automatically registered by the intermediate server 10 when a predetermined condition is satisfied, and the rewriter is automatically registered without pressing the command button on the browser with the mouse pointer. Can alleviate the burden. In particular, when a Web page that has been browsed for a predetermined time or a Web page that has been browsed for a predetermined number of times is registered, there is more useful information related to the search key than when a Web page browsed by a rewriter is simply browsed. This is likely to be a Web page that leads to faster information collection.

  However, even in the case of a web page browsed for a predetermined time or a web page browsed for a predetermined number of times, the rewriter can accept an input for canceling registration in the browser of the rewriter terminal 30. A web page that has been browsed or a web page that has been browsed more than a predetermined number of times is likely to be a useful web page, but is not necessarily a web page that contains useful information, and is a web page that does not contain useful information In addition, the rewriter can manually cancel the registration process, and registration of URLs of unnecessary Web pages is prevented, so that information collection of other rewriters is not hindered.

(Processing after selecting a search result link)
In the first embodiment, the rewriter displays the search result Web page on the browser of the rewriter terminal 30, selects the search result link, and displays the link destination to register the URL of this link. However, it is preferable that the search result Web page is displayed again after that, that is, after the registration command button is pressed. As a result, other link destinations can be selected, and the rewriter can be informed that registration has been properly performed.

  In addition, after registration, a Web page indicating that the registration is properly performed is displayed, and the URL of the Web page of the search result or the URL of the Web page from the WWW server 50 being browsed is linked on the Web page. May be displayed.

  Further, even after registration, there is no change in the displayed Web page, that is, a frame displaying a Web page on which a registration command button is arranged and a Web page from the WWW server 50 are displayed. Even if the frame is left as it is, the browser stores the history of the temporarily viewed web page, and can return to the web page of the search result from the history list, and is displayed on the browser toolbar. It is also possible to return to the Web page of the search result by pressing a button for instructing to follow a history.

(About priority registration)
In the first embodiment, a user who belongs to the same task as the requested user is registered from the stored search results, and a search result that matches the requested search key is extracted and the requested user is extracted. Although the intermediate server 10 has transmitted to the user computer 30, a priority level designated by the user at the time of registering the search result can be given, and the corresponding search result from the registered search results The search result extracted according to the priority level can be handled. Priority search results are handled in order from the highest priority level to send to the user computer, or to the priority level when it is sent to the user computer including the priority level. Display can be performed accordingly. By doing so, it becomes a registration that reflects the intention of the user to register more, and the user who collects information by utilizing it can check more smoothly. Here, the intermediate server 10 can automatically give the priority level. For example, a high priority level is given to the latest registered search result, and the priority level of the search result accumulated every predetermined time has elapsed. The structure which makes low can be taken. However, it is desirable to maintain or increase the priority level for the search results extracted by executing a search from another user and the search results obtained by actually acquiring the information indicated by the address.

  Although the present invention has been described with the above embodiments, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the scope described in the embodiments, and various modifications or improvements can be added to these embodiments. . And embodiment which added such a change or improvement is also contained in the technical scope of the present invention. This is apparent from the claims and the means for solving the problems.
