  Hereinafter, embodiments of a presentation control method, a presentation control program, and a presentation control system according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment)
FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of an example of the information processing apparatus 101 according to the embodiment. The information processing apparatus 101 is an apparatus that controls the priority of presentation of information related to resources to be presented in response to a search request based on information related to an access failure to a specific resource.

  Here, the resource can be referred to on a network such as the Internet. Specifically, the resource is a document, an image, or the like existing on the network. An access failure is an inability to access a resource. Specifically, the access failure is that the resource cannot be accessed because the resource is deleted or moved, or a hardware or software failure occurs in the server storing the resource.

  Moreover, the information regarding a resource is the information which pinpoints the position of the resource on a network, for example. Specifically, a URL is an example of information about a resource, and may be referred to as a link in the following description. The presentation priority is a value for determining an aspect when outputting information about resources. For example, the higher the priority of presentation, the more easily the user can touch the eyes. Specifically, the higher the priority of presentation, the higher the screen can be displayed.

  Here, URLs may be displayed as a list of search results as information about resources on the network. When displaying a list, for example, display priority is increased for links with high access frequency and displayed at the top of the screen, and display priority is decreased for links with low access frequency. Then, it is displayed or not displayed at the bottom of the screen.

  There may be a broken link in the displayed list of links. A broken link is a state in which resources on the network specified by the link cannot be accessed. Broken links can be permanent or temporary. That is, there are cases where the site itself is temporarily unavailable due to a link that is not likely to be restored in the future after the site itself is closed or moved, and server maintenance.

  Since the user cannot acquire link destination information, it is not preferable that there is a broken link in the link list. For this reason, it is possible to delete a broken link from the list of links using the conventional technique. On the other hand, if the link is temporarily broken, the administrator re-includes the temporarily broken link in the link list.

  However, for example, the list displayed as a search result contains a huge number of links depending on the search target. For all of them, the maintenance of the list contents according to broken links or link revival is performed by management. Takes man-hours.

  Therefore, in the embodiment, when the link break is notified from the user terminal 102, the information processing apparatus 101 does not display the broken link for a predetermined period or displays it at the lower level of the link list. Further, the information processing apparatus 101 displays a broken link according to the number of accesses after a predetermined period. For this reason, the information processing apparatus 101 can display a link that has been temporarily broken, and can reduce the number of steps for redisplaying the restored link.

  Hereinafter, a method for controlling presentation of information related to resources on the network of the information processing apparatus 101 will be described.

  (1) The information processing apparatus 101 presents information regarding resources on the network searched in response to the search request. For example, the information processing apparatus 101 searches for resources on the network in response to a search request from the user terminal 102 and presents the search result to the user terminal 102. The user terminal 102 displays the search result on the screen 111.

  The information processing apparatus 101 can present information based on the priority of the recommended data table 112 when presenting information on the searched resources on the network. Here, the recommendation data table 112 has items of URL and priority. The URL is information for specifying the location of the resource on the network searched in response to the search request. The priority is a URL display priority. For example, the priority is set according to the URL access frequency.

  In the example of FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 101 searches for resources on the network in response to a search request from the user terminal 102 and presents the search result to the user terminal 102. The search result is the recommendation data table 112. On the user terminal 102, a list of URLs is displayed on the screen 111 in the order based on the priority of the recommendation data table 112.

  (2) The information processing apparatus 101 acquires information on an access failure to a specific resource among the presented resources. For example, it is assumed that the user terminal 102 cannot access any resource provided by the information processing apparatus 101. At this time, the user terminal 102 notifies the information processing apparatus 101 of an access failure, whereby the information processing apparatus 101 acquires information on an access failure to a specific resource.

  For example, when the information processing apparatus 101 presents a resource, the user terminal 102 reports an access failure by performing control to display a notification button on the screen of the information processing apparatus 101 and pressing the notification button. .

  In the example of FIG. 1, the user terminal 102 notifies the information processing apparatus 101 that an access failure has occurred in the resource specified by the URL “https://www.aaa.com/ddd.html”.

  (3) The information processing apparatus 101 reduces the priority of presentation of resources with access failures for a predetermined period. For example, when the information processing apparatus 101 searches for a resource on the network in response to another search request from the user terminal 102, an access failure resource is searched for a predetermined period. Decrease the priority of presentation.

  In the example of FIG. 1, the result of searching for resources on the network in response to another search request from the user terminal 102 is a recommended data table 113. For example, the information processing apparatus 101 sets the priority of the presentation of the URL “https://www.aaa.com/ddd.html” of the resource of the access failure in the recommendation data table 113 to 1/100 to “12.5 To "0.125". Therefore, when displayed on the screen 111 in the order based on the priority, the URL “https://www.aaa.com/ddd.html” is displayed in the list of URLs on the screen 111 because the priority is low. Or displayed at the bottom of the list of URLs on the screen 111.

  (4) The information processing apparatus 101 increases the lowered priority after the elapse of a predetermined period, or controls the lowered priority to a priority according to the number of accesses to the resource having an access failure. For example, the information processing apparatus 101 searches for a resource on the network in response to another search request from the user terminal 102. Increase resource priority. Alternatively, the information processing apparatus 101 controls the priority of the access failure resource to a priority according to the number of accesses to the access failure resource.

  Here, for example, the predetermined period may be a period until a temporarily broken link is resolved. For example, if the broken link is due to server maintenance, the predetermined period may be a period required for server maintenance.

  In the example of FIG. 1, the result of searching for resources on the network in response to another search request from the user terminal 102 is the recommended data table 114. For example, the information processing apparatus 101 increases the priority of presentation of the URL “https://www.aaa.com/ddd.html” of the resource of the access failure in the recommendation data table 114 from “0.125” by 100 times. Increase to "12.5". Therefore, when displayed on the screen 111 in the order based on the priority, the URL “https://www.aaa.com/ddd.html” is redisplayed in the list of URLs on the screen 111, or It is displayed at the original position of the URL list on the screen 111.

  Here, when the URL “https://www.aaa.com/ddd.html” of the resource of the access failure is a permanent link disconnection, the number of accesses of the link is close to “0”. Is also close to “0”. For this reason, even if the priority is compared and increased, it becomes a low value, and the permanently broken URL is not displayed on the screen 111 or remains displayed at the bottom of the screen 111.

  As described above, the information processing apparatus 101 presents information related to resources on the network searched in response to the search request, and information related to an access failure to a specific resource among the plurality of resources displayed on the network. To get. In this case, the information processing apparatus 101 lowers the priority of presentation of information regarding resources to be presented in response to a search request for a specific resource among a plurality of resources for a predetermined period. Further, the information processing apparatus 101 increases the lowered priority after the elapse of a predetermined period, or controls the lowered priority to a priority according to the number of accesses to a specific resource.

  As a result, the information processing apparatus 101 can lower the display priority of the resource with an access failure for a predetermined period. For this reason, the resource of the access failure temporarily is displayed on the screen 111 of the user terminal 102 or displayed at the original position on the screen 111 because the display priority increases after a predetermined period. On the other hand, since the link that has been permanently broken is not accessed for a predetermined period and the access frequency is close to zero, the display priority remains low even after the predetermined period and is not displayed on the screen 111 of the user terminal 102, or Are displayed at the bottom of the screen 111.

For example, the display error screen 1101 is created by the information processing apparatus 101 and displayed on the display of the user terminal 102.

  The display error screen 1101 includes a return button 1111, a forward button 1112, and a URL display item 1113.

  Here, the return button 1111 is a button for instructing to display the page before the currently displayed page. The forward button 1112 is a button for instructing to display the next page of the currently displayed page. The URL display item 1113 is an item for displaying the URL of the currently displayed page.

  For example, the display error screen 1101 is displayed when the user clicks the URL displayed in the search result display item 1016 with the mouse on the search site screen 1001 and there is no resource at the position specified by the clicked URL. In this case, the user can return to the search site screen 1001 by pressing the return button 1111 and can notify the information processing apparatus 101 of an access failure by pressing the reference impossible notification button 1017.

  In the example of FIG. 11, the display error screen 1101 tries to display the page at the position specified by the URL “https://www.aaa.com/ddd.html” of the search result. Displayed when it does not exist. For example, when the page “ddd.html” does not exist in the server specified by “www.aaa.com”, the display error screen 1101 of FIG. 11 is displayed.

(Example of search site screen 1201)
FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram of an example of the search site screen 1201 according to the embodiment. In FIG. 12, a search site screen 1201 is a screen that accepts a search keyword and displays a searched URL, like the search site screen 1001. For example, the search site screen 1201 is created by the information processing apparatus 101 and displayed on the display of the user terminal 102.

  The search site screen 1201 includes a return button 1211, a forward button 1212, a URL display item 1213, a search keyword input item 1214, a search button 1215, a search result display item 1216, and a reference failure notification button 1217. Each has the same function as the return button 1011, the forward button 1012, the URL display item 1013, the search keyword input item 1014, the search button 1015, the search result display item 1016, and the reference failure notification button 1017 on the search site screen 1001.

  Here, the search site screen 1201 notifies the information processing apparatus 101 that there is an access failure in the URL of the search result display item 1016 on the search site screen 1001, and then when the search is requested to the information processing apparatus 101 again. It is a screen displayed on the screen.

  In addition, the information processing apparatus 101 can also display, in another display mode, the URL that has been displayed on the lower side in the search result display item 1216 due to an access failure. In this case, the information processing apparatus 101 can prevent the user from accessing the URL with an access failure. Further, the information processing apparatus 101 can display the reference impossibility notification button 1217 even in a URL that is displayed below due to an access failure in the search result display item 1216. In this case, when the user detects an access failure again, the information processing apparatus 101 can be notified.

  In the example of FIG. 12, the access failure of the URL “https://www.aaa.com/ddd.html” displayed in FIG. 10 is notified to the information processing apparatus 101 when the reference impossible notification button 1017 is pressed. This is a screen displayed when searching with the same search keyword. Since the information processing apparatus 101 has acquired the access failure of the URL “https://www.aaa.com/ddd.html”, when the search is performed with the same search keyword “abcdef”, the URL of the access failure is reduced. It is displayed towards.

  Specifically, the information processing apparatus 101 displays the URL “https://www.aaa.com/ddd.html” at the top in FIG. 10 but thirdly in FIG. Further, the information processing apparatus 101 may not display the URL of the access failure on the lower side, but may not display it on the search site screen 1201.

(Functional configuration example of the information processing apparatus 101)
Next, a functional configuration example of the information processing apparatus 101 illustrated in FIG. 2 will be described. FIG. 13 is a block diagram of a functional configuration example of the information processing apparatus 101 according to the embodiment. In FIG. 13, the information processing apparatus 101 includes a reception unit 1301, a determination unit 1302, and an output unit 1303. Specifically, the control unit including the reception unit 1301, the determination unit 1302, and the output unit 1303, for example, causes the CPU 301 to execute a program stored in a storage device such as the memory 302 illustrated in FIG. Realize its function. The processing result of each functional unit is stored in, for example, a storage device such as the memory 302 illustrated in FIG.

  The accepting unit 1301 has a function of accepting a search condition and an access failure URL from the user terminal 102. For example, the receiving unit 1301 can receive a search condition when the user inputs a search keyword in the search keyword input item 1014 on the search site screen 1001 and presses the search button 1015.

  Further, the accepting unit 1301 can accept the URL of the access failure when the user presses the reference failure notification button 1017 corresponding to the URL having the access failure. The accepting unit 1301 can accept an access failure URL by a mail notification from the user. Further, the accepting unit 1301 can obtain the access log 240 from the user terminal 102 and accept an access failure URL.

  In addition, when accepting a URL with an access failure, the accepting unit 1301 increases the number of notifications of the record in the reaction data table 210 corresponding to the accepted URL, and accepts the URL with the access failure as the last report date. Can be a day. For example, the reception unit 1301 can increase the number of notifications by one. The reception unit 1301 can add a new record when there is no record in the reaction data table 210 corresponding to the received URL. In this case, the reception unit 1301 can set the number of notifications to 1.

  In addition, when receiving a URL having an access failure, the reception unit 1301 can access the received URL and determine whether the access failure has occurred. Here, if it is determined that there is no access failure, the receiving unit 1301 may not update the record of the reaction data table 210. If it is determined that there is no access failure, the accepting unit 1301 can set the number of notifications of records in the reaction data table 210 to zero.

  The determination unit 1302 has a function of determining the recommendation level of the recommendation data table 260 from the number of notifications in the reaction data table 210. For example, the determination unit 1302 can calculate the URL-specific weight from the notification count in the reaction data table 210 and the weight definition in the weight definition table 220.

  Further, the determination unit 1302 can calculate the weight for each URL when the number of notifications in the reaction data table 210 is updated. In this case, the information processing apparatus 101 can immediately lower the display order of the URL with the access failure to prevent the user from accessing the URL with the access failure.

  Further, the determining unit 1302 can calculate the weight for each URL when the number of notifications in the reaction data table 210 is updated a certain number of times. In this case, the information processing apparatus 101 can not lower the priority of presentation of information regarding the URL that has been erroneously reported as an access failure.

  For example, when the elapsed time does not exceed the change period, the determination unit 1302 can calculate the weight for each URL by raising the value of the weight definition in the weight definition table 220 to the power of the number of notifications in the reaction data table 210. it can. In this case, the URL-specific weight does not decrease in one notification. For this reason, the information processing apparatus 101 can not lower the priority of presentation of information related to a URL that is erroneously reported as an access failure. Here, the elapsed time is the time from the last report date to the present of the record of the reaction data table 210 corresponding to the URL with the URL weight to be calculated.

  For example, the determining unit 1302 can increase the weight for each URL when the elapsed time exceeds the change period. Specifically, the determination unit 1302 can set the weight for each URL as the weight definition in the weight definition table 220. For example, the determination unit 1302 can calculate the weight for each URL based on the count number of the access log 240. Here, the determination unit 1302 can increase the weight for each URL as the count number of the access log 240 increases.

  Further, the determination unit 1302 can update the weight after counting in the rating table 250 from the weight for each URL in the filter definition table 230 and the count in the access log 240. For example, the determination unit 1302 can update the weight after counting in the rating table 250 by the product of the URL-specific weight in the filter definition table 230 and the count number in the access log 240.

  Also, the determination unit 1302 can update the recommendation level of the recommendation data table 260 from the weight after counting in the rating table 250. For example, the determination unit 1302 creates a record of the recommendation data table 260 with the URL searched by the search condition received by the reception unit 1301, and sets the recommendation degree after considering the count of the record of the rating table 250 of the corresponding URL. be able to.

  The output unit 1303 has a function of creating a search result display item 1016 of the search site screen 1001 based on the recommendation data table 260 and outputting it to the user terminal 102. For example, the output unit 1303 can display a URL with a high recommendation level in the recommendation data table 260 on the upper side of the search result display item 1016.

(Example of broken link acceptance processing procedure)
FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a broken link reception process procedure of the information processing apparatus 101 according to the embodiment. In FIG. 14, the information processing apparatus 101 receives a search condition (step S1401). For example, the information processing apparatus 101 can accept a search condition when the user inputs a search keyword in the search keyword input item 1014 on the search site screen 1001 and presses the search button 1015.

  The information processing apparatus 101 executes search processing (step S1402). For example, the information processing apparatus 101 can search for a URL on the network related to the search keyword by using an existing search engine.

  The information processing apparatus 101 outputs the searched URL (step S1403). For example, the information processing apparatus 101 outputs, to the user terminal 102, a screen that displays a URL that specifies the location of the searched resource on the network and a reference impossibility notification button 1017 associated with the URL. At this time, the information processing apparatus 101 can output a screen that displays the URL to be output in the order based on the recommendation degree in the recommendation data table 260. Specifically, the information processing apparatus 101 can display the URL at the top of the screen as the recommendation level increases.

  The information processing apparatus 101 determines whether or not the pressing of the reference failure notification button 1017 has been received (step S1404). For example, the user terminal 102 displaying the screen transmitted by the information processing apparatus 101 accepts the selection of the link destination when the user clicks the URL displayed in the search result display item 1016 on the search site screen 1001 with the mouse. be able to. The user terminal 102 can access the resource of the URL that has received the selection, acquire information, and display it on the user terminal 102. Here, when there is a failure in accessing the resource of the URL for which the selection has been accepted, the user presses the reference failure notification button 1017 corresponding to the URL having the access failure. As a result, the information processing apparatus 101 accepts pressing of the reference failure notification button 1017.

  When the pressing of the reference impossible notification button 1017 is accepted (step S1404: Yes), the information processing apparatus 101 records the number of notifications and the last notification date in the reaction data table 210 (step S1405). For example, the information processing apparatus 101 increases the number of notifications of the record in the reaction data table 210 corresponding to the URL corresponding to the reference impossible notification button 1017 that has received the press. Further, the information processing apparatus 101 sets the time when the pressing of the reference impossible notification button 1017 is accepted as the last notification date of the record.

  When the pressing of the reference impossible notification button 1017 is not accepted (step S1404: No), the processing of the information processing apparatus 101 ends.

  Thereby, a series of processing in this flowchart is completed. By executing this flowchart, the information processing apparatus 101 can acquire information on the URL where the access failure has occurred and record it in the reaction data table 210.

(Example of rating process)
FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a rating process procedure of the information processing apparatus 101 according to the embodiment. In FIG. 15, the information processing apparatus 101 acquires an unprocessed record from the reaction data table 210 (step S1501). Here, an unprocessed record is a record that has not been processed in step S1502 and subsequent steps.

  The information processing apparatus 101 acquires a weight definition from the weight definition table 220 (step S1502). The information processing apparatus 101 determines whether the elapsed time has exceeded the change period (step S1503). For example, the information processing apparatus 101 determines whether the elapsed time from the last report date of the record acquired in step S1501 to the present exceeds the change period of the weight definition table 220, and whether the elapsed time exceeds the change period. be able to.

  When the elapsed time does not exceed the change period (step S1503: No), the information processing apparatus 101 calculates a URL-specific weight from the weight definition and the number of notifications (step S1504). For example, the information processing apparatus 101 can calculate the URL-specific weight from the record notification count acquired in step S1501 and the weight definition in the weight definition table 220.

  When the elapsed time exceeds the change period (step S1503: Yes), the information processing apparatus 101 increases the weight for each URL or performs control according to the number of accesses (step S1505). For example, the information processing apparatus 101 can set the weight definition in the weight definition table 220 as a weight for each URL. For example, the information processing apparatus 101 can calculate the weight for each URL based on the count number of the access log 240. Here, the information processing apparatus 101 can increase the weight for each URL as the count number of the access log 240 increases.

  The information processing apparatus 101 records the URL-specific weights in the filter definition table 230 (step S1506). For example, the information processing apparatus 101 sets the weight by URL calculated in steps S1504 and S1505 to the weight by URL of the record in the filter definition table 230 corresponding to the URL of the record acquired in step S1501.

  The information processing apparatus 101 determines whether there is an unprocessed record in the reaction data table 210 (step S1507). If there is an unprocessed record (step S1507: Yes), the processing of the information processing apparatus 101 returns to step S1501.

  If there is no unprocessed record (step S1507: No), the information processing apparatus 101 updates the rating table 250 from the filter definition table 230 and the access log 240 (step S1508). For example, the information processing apparatus 101 acquires the weight for each URL of the record of the filter definition table 230 corresponding to the URL of the rating table 250. In addition, the information processing apparatus 101 acquires the count number of records in the access log 240 corresponding to the URL of the rating table 250. The information processing apparatus 101 updates the post-count weight in the rating table 250 with a value calculated from the obtained URL-specific weight and count number.

  The information processing apparatus 101 updates the recommendation data table 260 from the rating table 250 (step S1509). For example, the information processing apparatus 101 updates the recommendation level of the record in the recommendation data table 260 corresponding to the URL of the rating table 250 with the weight after counting in the rating table 250.

  Thereby, a series of processing in this flowchart is completed. By executing this flowchart, the information processing apparatus 101 can update the recommendation level of the record in the recommendation data table 260 based on the number of notifications in the reaction data table 210.

  As described above, the information processing apparatus 101 presents information related to resources on the network searched in response to the search request, and information related to an access failure to a specific resource among the plurality of resources displayed on the network. To get. In this case, the information processing apparatus 101 lowers the priority of presentation of information regarding resources to be presented in response to a search request for a specific resource among a plurality of resources for a predetermined period. Further, the information processing apparatus 101 increases the lowered priority after the elapse of a predetermined period, or controls the lowered priority to a priority according to the number of accesses to a specific resource.

  As a result, the information processing apparatus 101 can lower the display priority of the resource with an access failure for a predetermined period. For this reason, the resource of the access failure temporarily is displayed on the screen 111 of the user terminal 102 or displayed at the original position on the screen 111 because the display priority increases after a predetermined period. On the other hand, since the link that has been permanently broken is not accessed for a predetermined period and the access frequency is close to zero, the display priority remains low even after the predetermined period and is not displayed on the screen 111 of the user terminal 102, or Are displayed at the bottom of the screen 111. Accordingly, since the link that has been temporarily broken is displayed at the original position of the link list, the administrator does not need to maintain the link list, and the man-hour for managing the link list can be reduced.

  Further, when the information processing apparatus 101 acquires information related to an access failure to a specific resource, the information processing apparatus 101 can access the specific resource and check the access failure. After confirming the access failure, the information processing apparatus 101 can also reduce the priority of presentation of information regarding the resource to be presented in response to the search request for a specific resource for a predetermined period.

  As a result, the information processing apparatus 101 can not lower the priority of presentation of information related to a resource that is erroneously reported as an access failure.

  Further, the information processing apparatus 101 can reduce the priority when the elapsed time after acquiring information related to an access failure to a specific resource is less than a predetermined period. Furthermore, when the elapsed time exceeds a predetermined period, the information processing apparatus 101 can perform control to increase the priority as the number of accesses per predetermined period increases, without performing the process of decreasing the priority. .

  As a result, when the information processing apparatus 101 acquires information related to an access failure to a specific resource, the information processing apparatus 101 immediately decreases the priority. For this reason, the display order of the specific resource is lowered, and the user terminal 102 can be prevented from accessing the specific resource. Further, by increasing the priority as the number of accesses per predetermined period increases, the information processing apparatus 101 can increase the display order of frequently accessed resources that are temporarily faulty.

  Further, the information processing apparatus 101 can set the elapsed time as the elapsed time from the last acquired information among the information related to the access failure to the specific resource.

  As a result, the information processing apparatus 101 can reduce the increase of the priority of the specific resource in a state where the access failure to the specific resource continues.

  In addition, the information processing apparatus 101 can lower the priority as the number of acquired information regarding an access failure to a specific resource increases.

  As a result, the information processing apparatus 101 does not significantly reduce the priority level only by acquiring information once. For this reason, even if the information processing apparatus 101 does not confirm an access failure, the information processing apparatus 101 can not significantly lower the priority of presentation of information related to a resource that is erroneously reported as an access failure.

  Further, the information processing apparatus 101 can acquire information related to an access failure to a specific resource by pressing a button displayed in association with information related to a specific resource on the network.

  Thereby, the user of the user terminal 102 can notify an access failure to a specific resource only by pressing a button. Since the user has no trouble of sending mail to the administrator, the burden on the user is reduced. Further, since the user's giving up of notification is reduced even if there is an access failure, the information processing apparatus 101 can increase the number of notifications received from the user when there is an access failure.

  The presentation control method described in this embodiment can be realized by executing a program prepared in advance on a computer such as a personal computer or a workstation. The presentation control program is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium such as a hard disk, a flexible disk, a CD-ROM, an MO, and a DVD, and is executed by being read from the recording medium by the computer. The presentation control program may be distributed via a network such as the Internet.
