(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a communication system provided with a communication management apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In the communication system shown in the figure, page data of the portal site is transmitted from the server apparatus 100 to the base station apparatus 220 via the network 210, and this page data is further transmitted from the base station apparatus 220 to the mobile phone 230 owned by the user. Is transmitted wirelessly. Then, the user can browse the portal site displayed on the mobile phone 230, or browse other websites by following links.

  1 includes a receiving unit 101, a determining unit 102, a searching unit 103, a session ID assigning unit 104, a user ID acquiring unit 105, a hash value calculating unit 106, a target user selecting unit 107, and a session ID database 108a. A storage unit 108, a pattern setting unit 109, and a transmission unit 110 are provided.

  The receiving unit 101 receives a connection request to the portal site from the network 210, a connection request to a specific link in the portal site, and the like. These connection requests are transmitted by the user operating the mobile phone 230, and are received by the receiving unit 101 via the base station apparatus 220 and the network 210.

  The determination unit 102 determines whether or not a session ID is added to the connection request received by the reception unit 101. The session ID is an ID for each session that continues until the connection between the server apparatus 100 and the mobile phone 230 is established and then disconnected. Therefore, even when the same mobile phone 230 and the server apparatus 100 are connected, if the connection is disconnected once, a different session ID is assigned to the next connection. When the session ID is given to the connection with the server device 100, the mobile phone 230 always adds the session ID to the data and transmits it when communicating with the server device 100. If the session ID is added to the connection request, the determination unit 102 outputs the session ID to the search unit 103. If the session ID is not added to the connection request, the determination unit 102 indicates that the connection is a new connection. To notify.

  The search unit 103 refers to the session ID database 108 a stored in the storage unit 108 and searches for the session ID output from the determination unit 102. Then, the search unit 103 confirms whether or not the searched session ID is the session ID to be investigated. If the searched session ID is the investigation target, the pattern setting is performed by setting the pattern number stored in association with the session ID. Notification to the unit 109. In addition, if the session ID is not an investigation target, the search unit 103 instructs the pattern setting unit 109 to set the portal site pattern to the normal pattern.

  When the determination unit 102 notifies that the connection is a new connection, the session ID assigning unit 104 assigns a session ID to the connection between the mobile phone 230 and the server device 100. At this time, the session ID assigning unit 104 assigns a unique session ID that is not used by another connection.

  The user ID acquisition unit 105 acquires a user ID included in the connection request transmitted from the mobile phone 230. Generally, in a portal site or the like, when a user logs in using a user ID, a page whose display items are customized for each user can be displayed. A connection request to the portal site may be made. The user ID acquisition unit 105 outputs the acquired user ID to the hash value calculation unit 106.

  The hash value calculation unit 106 calculates a fixed-length hash value from the user ID using an irreversible hash function, and outputs the hash value to the target user selection unit 107. Since the hash value has a fixed length, user IDs of various lengths are converted into information of a fixed length by the user.

  The target user selection unit 107 groups hash values in advance, and determines whether or not the hash value output from the hash value calculation unit 106 is the hash value of the group to be investigated. Further, when the hash value output from the hash value calculation unit 106 is the hash value of the group to be investigated, the target user selection unit 107 uses the hash value of the group that provides the portal site of which pattern. Determine if there is.

  Specifically, the target user selection unit 107 calculates a hash value by setting, for example, a group whose hash value ends with an alphabet as an investigation target group, a group whose hash value ends with a number as a non-survey target group, and the like. The hash values output from the unit 106 are grouped. Then, the target user selection unit 107, for example, has a pattern number 0 from the end of the hash value a (or A) to e (or E), and a pattern number 1 from f (or F) to j (or J). As a group, etc., a portal site pattern number is assigned to each hash value to be investigated.

  In this way, the target user selection unit 107 selects a user to be investigated (hereinafter referred to as “target user”) from the hash value corresponding to the user ID of the user, and the user ID, hash value, It is registered in the session ID database 108a of the storage unit 108 whether or not the user is a target user and the pattern number assigned to the target user. At the same time, the target user selection unit 107 notifies the pattern setting unit 109 of the session ID and the pattern number assigned to the session ID (or the normal pattern if not the target user).

  Note that the processing from the determination unit 102 to the target user selection unit 107 may be implemented as an API (Application Program Interface).

  The storage unit 108 stores a session ID database 108a. The session ID database 108a stores a session ID of each session in association with a user ID, a hash value, a target person flag indicating whether or not the user is a target user, and a pattern number.

  When the pattern number (or normal pattern setting instruction) is notified from the search unit 103 or the target user selection unit 107, the pattern setting unit 109 sets the page data of the portal site of the notified pattern number as transmission data, This transmission data is output to the transmission unit 110. In addition, when the session ID is notified together with the pattern number from the target user selection unit 107, the pattern setting unit 109 also includes the session ID in the transmission data in order to notify the mobile phone 230 that has newly started connection of the session ID. .

  The transmission unit 110 transmits the transmission data output from the pattern setting unit 109 to the mobile phone 230 via the network 210 and the base station device 220.

  Next, the operation of the server apparatus 100 configured as described above will be described with a specific example with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, the connection request to the portal site transmitted from the user's mobile phone 230 is received by the receiving unit 101 of the server device 100 via the base station device 220 and the network 210 (step S101). The received connection request is output to the determination unit 102, and it is determined whether or not a session ID is added to the connection request (step S102).

  If the session ID is added to the connection request as a result of the determination by the determination unit 102 (Yes in step S102), this means that the connection has already been established between the mobile phone 230 and the server apparatus 100, and the storage unit 108 The session ID is registered in the session ID database 108a. Therefore, the session ID is output from the determination unit 102 to the search unit 103, and the search unit 103 searches the received session ID from the session ID database 108a (step S103), and the target person flag corresponding to the session ID is confirmed. As a result, it is determined whether or not the session ID is the subject of investigation (step S104).

  Specifically, when the session ID database 108a is as shown in FIG. 3, for example, if the received session ID is “A1234”, the corresponding target person flag is “1”. Determined to be the subject of the survey. On the other hand, if the received session ID is “A2468”, since the corresponding target person flag is “0”, it is determined that this session ID is a non-survey target.

  If it is determined that the received session ID is an investigation target (Yes in step S104), the search unit 103 refers to the pattern number associated with the session ID, and the pattern number is sent to the pattern setting unit 109. Be notified. When the pattern number is notified, the page data of the portal site of the notified pattern number is set as transmission data by the pattern setting unit 109 (step S105). Then, page data of a specific pattern is transmitted from the transmission unit 110 (step S106) and transmitted to the mobile phone 230 via the network 210 and the base station device 220.

  If it is determined that the received session ID is a non-investigation target (No in step S104), the search unit 103 instructs the pattern setting unit 109 to set a portal site with a normal pattern. When this instruction is given, the pattern setting unit 109 sets the page data of the portal site of the normal pattern as transmission data (step S107). Then, the normal pattern page data is transmitted from the transmission unit 110 (step S106), and transmitted to the mobile phone 230 via the network 210 and the base station device 220.

  When the mobile phone 230 receives the transmitted page data, the mobile phone 230 displays a portal site of a normal pattern or a specific pattern from the page data. That is, if the received page data is for a portal site with a normal pattern, the mobile phone 230 displays a page with a design as shown in FIG. In the case of the portal site of the pattern, although the content is the same as the normal pattern, for example, a page with a design different from the normal pattern as shown in FIG.

  The user follows the link from the displayed portal site to another website by operating the mobile phone 230. Then, behavior information such as which link the user follows is accumulated in a processing unit (not shown) of the server apparatus 100, and how the user's behavior differs depending on a pattern such as a page design or configuration. Be investigated.

  On the other hand, if the session ID is not added to the connection request as a result of determining whether the session ID is added by the determination unit 102 (No in step S102), a new connection is made between the mobile phone 230 and the server device 100. It is necessary to assign a session ID to this connection. Accordingly, the determination unit 102 notifies the session ID providing unit 104 that the connection is new, and the session ID providing unit 104 assigns a unique session ID to the connection between the mobile phone 230 and the server device 100 ( Step S108).

  Since the user newly connects to the portal site, the user ID for login is included in the connection request, and the user ID is acquired by the user ID acquisition unit 105 (step S109). The acquired user ID is output to the hash value calculation unit 106, and a hash value corresponding to the user ID is calculated using a hash function (step S110). If the hash value is calculated from the same user ID, it always has the same value.

  The calculated hash value is output to the target user selection unit 107, and the target user selection unit 107 determines whether or not the hash value belongs to the target user group (step S111). That is, hash values are grouped in advance by the target user selection unit 107, and target users whose hash values output from the hash value calculation unit 106 belong to the target user group are selected. Further, the target user selection unit 107 determines the pattern number of the portal site assigned to the target user according to the group to which the hash value belongs. The selected target user is set with the target person flag in the session ID database 108a stored in the storage unit 108 (step S112), and at the same time, the assigned pattern number is also registered.

  Specifically, for example, a group whose hash value ends with an alphabet is set as a target user, and further, the alphabet from a (or A) to e (or E) is from a group of pattern number 0, f (or F). Consider a case in which groups up to j (or J) are pattern number 1 and groups from k (or K) to o (or O) are groups of pattern number 2. At this time, for example, in FIG. 3, the hash values corresponding to the session IDs “A1234” and “A1357” end with an alphabet, so that the user corresponding to these sessions is selected as the target user by the target user selection unit 107. The

  Furthermore, since the end of the hash value corresponding to the session ID “A1234” is “b”, the pattern number 0 is assigned to this user, and the end of the hash value corresponding to the session ID “A1357” is “l”. For this reason, pattern number 2 is assigned to this user. Therefore, the target person flag and the pattern number corresponding to the session IDs “A1234”, “A1357”, and “A2468” are registered in the session ID database 108a as shown in FIG.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in association with the session ID given at the time of new connection, whether or not the user is a target user and the pattern number assigned in the case of the target user are stored. Even if the information for identifying the user is not transmitted from the cellular phone 230, whether the individual user is identified and the target user while the connection between the cellular phone 230 and the server device 100 is established. It can be determined whether or not.

  In addition, as described above, if the user ID is the same, the hash value is also the same. Therefore, even if the connection between the mobile phone 230 and the server device 100 is once disconnected, the same user has the same user ID again. Once logged in, the group to which the hash value belongs does not change even if the session ID changes. Therefore, although the session ID is renewed every time the connection is disconnected, it is possible to assign the same pattern to the same user and continuously investigate the behavior.

  The target user selection unit 107 registers new connection information in the session ID database 108a, and simultaneously notifies the pattern setting unit 109 that a pattern number or a normal pattern corresponding to this connection is set. That is, when the target person flag is registered as 1, the pattern number assigned to this user is notified to the pattern setting unit 109, and when the target person flag is registered as 0, a normal pattern is set for this user. Is notified to the pattern setting unit 109.

  When the pattern number is notified, the page data of the portal site of the notified pattern number is set as transmission data by the pattern setting unit 109 (step S113). On the other hand, when notified that the normal pattern is to be set, the page data of the normal pattern portal site is set as transmission data by the pattern setting unit 109 (step S114). Then, page data of a specific pattern or a normal pattern is transmitted from the transmission unit 110 (step S106) and transmitted to the mobile phone 230 via the network 210 and the base station device 220.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when a new connection is made from a mobile phone, a session ID is assigned to the connection, a hash value is calculated from the login user ID, and a target user is selected based on the hash value. And remember. For this reason, while the connection is established, whether or not the user is the target user can be identified by the session ID added to the connection request transmitted from the mobile phone, and stored in the mobile terminal device on the user side The user can be identified without using the recorded information.

(Embodiment 2)
A feature of the second embodiment of the present invention is that even when a user who establishes a connection at a predetermined timing is designated as a target user and a login user ID or the like is not transmitted from the mobile phone, the target user can be selected and the target user can be selected. And a non-target user.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a communication system including the communication management apparatus according to the present embodiment. In the figure, the same parts as those in FIG. 5 is different from FIG. 1 only in the internal configuration of the server apparatus 100.

  The server device 100 illustrated in FIG. 5 stores a reception unit 101, a determination unit 102, a search unit 103, a session ID assignment unit 104, a user ID acquisition unit 301, a target user designation unit 302, a session ID database 108b, and a target user database 108c. Storage unit 108, pattern setting unit 109, and transmission unit 110.

  The user ID acquisition unit 301 acquires the user ID included in the connection request transmitted from the mobile phone 230 and outputs it to the target user designation unit 302. If the user ID is not included in the connection request, the user ID acquisition unit 301 notifies the target user designation unit 302 to that effect.

  When the user ID is output from the user ID acquisition unit 301, the target user specifying unit 302 refers to the target user database 108c stored in the storage unit 108, and a user having the user ID has become a target user in the past. Check if it was. As a result, if the user has been the target user in the past, the target user specifying unit 302 also specifies this user as the target user this time and registers it in the session ID database 108b of the storage unit 108. At this time, the target user designating unit 302 also registers the pattern number to be assigned, but this pattern number is also registered in the session ID database 108b with the same pattern number recorded in the target user database 108c.

  Further, the target user designating unit 302 measures the target user designation timing in a predetermined cycle, and a user having a user ID output from the user ID acquisition unit 301 is not a target user in the past, When it is notified from the user ID acquisition unit 301 that the user ID is not included in the connection request, it is determined whether or not the designated timing of the target user has elapsed.

  Then, if the specified timing has passed, the target user specifying unit 302 specifies the user to which the session ID is assigned at this time as the target user and registers it in the session ID database 108b. Further, if the user ID of the target user is acquired, the target user specifying unit 302 adds the user ID to the target user database 108c. In these session ID database 108b and target user database 108c, pattern numbers to be assigned are also recorded. The pattern numbers are assigned to new target users in order so that all patterns are uniformly assigned to the target users.

  In this way, the target user designating unit 302 designates a past target user or a user who has established a connection when a predetermined period has passed as a target user, and whether or not the user ID is a target user for each session ID, If the user is a target user, the pattern number to be assigned is registered in the session ID database 108b of the storage unit 108, and when a new user is designated as the target user, the user is added to the target user database 108c. At the same time, the target user designating unit 302 notifies the pattern setting unit 109 of the session ID and the pattern number assigned to this session ID (or the normal pattern if not the target user).

  Note that the processing from the determination unit 102 to the target user specifying unit 302 may be implemented as an API.

  The session ID database 108b stores a session ID of each session in association with a user ID, a target person flag indicating whether or not the user is a target user, and a pattern number.

  The target user database 108c includes a survey ID that is a serial number of the target user, a pattern number assigned to the user ID acquired by the user ID acquisition unit 301, the number of times the user has accessed the portal site, the first access time, and the last access time. Are stored in association with each other.

  Next, the operation of the server device 100 configured as described above will be described with a specific example with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In the figure, the same parts as those in FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  When the connection request from the mobile phone 230 is received by the reception unit 101 (step S101), the determination unit 102 determines whether or not a session ID is added to the connection request (step S102).

  If the session ID is added to the connection request as a result of determination by the determination unit 102 (Yes in step S102), the session ID database 108b is searched by the search unit 103 (step S103) and received as in the first embodiment. It is determined whether or not the determined session ID is an investigation target (step S104). The session ID database 108b in the present embodiment is configured as shown in FIG. 7A, for example, and is different from the session ID database 108a in the first embodiment in that no hash value is stored. ing.

  As in the first embodiment, if the session ID is an investigation target (Yes at Step S104), page data of a specific pattern is set as transmission data by the pattern setting unit 109 (Step S105), and the session ID is not investigated. If it is the target (No in step S104), the page data of the normal pattern is set as transmission data by the pattern setting unit 109 (step S107). The page data of the specific pattern or the page data of the normal pattern is transmitted from the transmission unit 110 to the mobile phone 230 (step S106).

  On the other hand, if the session ID is not added to the connection request as a result of determining whether or not the session ID is added by the determination unit 102 (No in step S102), the mobile phone 230 and the server device are used by the session ID adding unit 104. A unique session ID is assigned to the connection with 100 (step S108).

  Then, the user ID acquisition unit 301 determines whether or not a login user ID is included in the connection request (step S201). If the user ID is included (step S201 Yes), the user ID acquisition unit 301 Is retrieved from the target user database 108c by the target user specifying unit 302 (step S202). For example, information as illustrated in FIG. 7B is stored in the target user database 108c regarding the user ID that has been the subject of the survey in the past. Therefore, if the user ID is stored in the target user database 108c as a result of the search by the target user specifying unit 302, this user ID is specified as the target user at the past login.

  Therefore, the target user designating unit 302 determines whether or not the user ID is a past target user (step S203). If the user ID is a past target user (step S203 Yes), this user ID is stored in the session ID database 108b. A target person flag is set in association with the current session ID assigned to (step S204). At the same time, the target user designating unit 302 reads the pattern number assigned to the user ID at the time of the past survey from the target user database 108c, and the read pattern number is set as the current session ID in the session ID database 108b. Registered in association. In other words, for the past target user, the same pattern number as in the past survey is associated with the session ID in the session ID database 108b.

  Then, the same pattern number as in the past survey is notified from the target user specifying unit 302 to the pattern setting unit 109, and the page data of the portal site of the notified pattern number is set as transmission data by the pattern setting unit 109. (Step S205). Then, page data having the same pattern as that in the past investigation is transmitted from the transmission unit 110 (step S106) and transmitted to the mobile phone 230 via the network 210 and the base station device 220.

  When the received connection request does not include a user ID (No in step S201), or when the user ID is included, the user ID is not registered in the target user database 108c and is not a past target user. In (Step S203 No), the target user specifying unit 302 determines whether or not a predetermined period has elapsed since the last time a new target user was specified (Step S206).

  As a result, if the predetermined period has elapsed (Yes in step S206), the target user specifying unit 302 specifies the currently connected user as the target user (step S207), and a specific pattern number is assigned. The pattern numbers to be assigned are assigned to new target users in order so that all patterns are uniformly assigned to the target users.

  If the user ID is included in the received connection request, the user ID and the assigned pattern number are newly registered in the target user database 108c, and the target person flag is also set in the session ID database 108b. (Step S112) and the pattern number is associated. If the user ID is not included in the received connection request, only the subject flag setting and pattern number registration in the session ID database 108b are performed (step S112). As a result, a user who has not been a target user in the past or a user who has not received a user ID can be specified at random, and thereafter, the session ID database 108b is referred to, and each session is investigated. It is possible to grasp whether it is a target or a non-survey target.

  The target user specifying unit 302 registers the target person flag and the pattern number in the session ID database 108b, and simultaneously notifies the registered pattern number to the pattern setting unit 109. Then, the page data of the portal site with the notified pattern number is set as transmission data by the pattern setting unit 109 (step S113).

  On the other hand, if the target user specifying unit 302 determines that the predetermined period has not elapsed since the previous target user specification, the connected user does not become the target user, and the target user specifying unit 302 changes the normal pattern. The pattern setting unit 109 is notified of the setting. Then, the page data of the portal site of the normal pattern is set as transmission data by the pattern setting unit 109 (step S114).

  When page data of a specific pattern or normal pattern is set as transmission data in this way, the page data is transmitted from the transmission unit 110 (step S106), and the mobile phone 230 is transmitted via the network 210 and the base station device 220. Is transmitted to.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the user ID that has become the target user is stored, the user who has become the target user in the past is associated with the session ID again, and otherwise The user who does not transmit the user ID or the user ID is associated with the session ID of the user connected when the predetermined period has elapsed. For this reason, it is possible to identify whether or not the user is the target user by the session ID, and it is possible to continue a consistent investigation even if the connection is disconnected for the user who transmitted the user ID, and the user ID is not transmitted. The target user can also be specified from the user.

  In each of the above embodiments, page data transmission, target user selection / designation, user identification, and target user storage are all executed in the same server device 100. May be distributed over a plurality of server devices. Further, as described above, the target user selection / designation and user identification processing may be implemented as an API outside the server apparatus 100. By implementing these processes as APIs, the present invention can be used for purposes other than user behavior investigation.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the communication management process is realized on the computer (server apparatus 100) has been described. However, a program for realizing the communication management process is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, The communication management process may be realized by causing a computer to read and execute a program recorded on the recording medium.
