Description

The present invention relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program capable of controlling bookmark processing of a web page related to a service facility such as a restaurant.

Conventionally, when a user browses a specific web page using a user terminal such as a PC or a smartphone, bookmarks, caches, cookies, and the like have existed as techniques for facilitating revisiting the page.

Of these, in the bookmark technology, it has been conventionally performed to display a list of bookmarked web pages. However, when each web page is related to a service facility such as a restaurant, it is considered that displaying a list of existing points of the service facility contributes to the convenience of the user.

The following Patent Document 1 describes that a map including both the search point and the read main point is displayed by reading out the nearest main point by a search from a plurality of pre-registered main points.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2001-264084

However, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, since only the registration points closest to the search points are displayed, the user cannot grasp all the registration points at a glance.

In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program capable of improving the listability of bookmarked points on a map.

In order to achieve the above object, the information processing device according to one embodiment of the present invention has a storage unit and a control unit. The storage unit stores bookmark registration information related to a plurality of points. The control unit has a scale that includes all the plurality of bookmarked points, and generates a map image in which a plurality of signs corresponding to the plurality of points are arranged.

With this configuration, the information processing device can output a map image in which all the signs related to the bookmarked points are plotted, so that the user can grasp all the bookmarked points at once and improve the listability.

The control unit sets the scale so that the map image includes the plurality of points and the current location of the user terminal acquired from the user terminal, and arranges a sign corresponding to the current location on the map image. May be good.

As a result, the information processing device can display a list of bookmark registration points while allowing the user to confirm the positional relationship with the current location.

Among the plurality of points, the control unit maps two points having a long separation distance among two points located at both ends in the east-west direction and two points located at both ends in the north-south direction. If the display range of the image is set at both ends in the east-west direction or the north-south direction, and the current location of the user terminal acquired from the user terminal is included in the display range, a sign corresponding to the current location is displayed on the map image. It may be arranged.

As a result, the information processing device displays the current location when the current location can be displayed without changing the minimum display range for including all bookmark points, and when the current location is displayed, the display range needs to be changed. By not displaying the current location in, it is possible to prevent the visibility of the bookmark registration point from being deteriorated by displaying the current location.

In the control unit, when the current location is not included in the display range, the current location is either north, south, east, or west instead of the scale corresponding to the display range and the points located at either of the two ends. When the ratio to the scale corresponding to the display range enlarged so as to be the end of is less than the predetermined ratio, the scale is set so as to include the current location, and the sign corresponding to the current location is displayed on the map image. It may be placed on top.

As a result, the information processing device displays the current location including the current location even if the current location is outside the display range for including all bookmark points, if the current location exists at a position very close to the end of the display range. As a result, the user can grasp the positional relationship between the current location and the bookmark registration point while minimizing the decrease in visibility of the bookmark registration point.

The control unit generates the map image at a scale that includes all of the plurality of points when the number of bookmarks registered is less than the predetermined number, and when the number of bookmarks registered is more than the predetermined number, among the plurality of points. The map image may be generated at a predetermined scale centering on a rectangular center point where each side intersects each point located at the north, south, east, and west ends.

As a result, when the number of bookmarks registered is large, the information processing device can prevent deterioration of visibility due to displaying all bookmark registration points by limiting the display range to a predetermined range as exception handling.

Among the plurality of points, the control unit has two points located at both ends in the east-west direction and two points located at both ends in the north-south direction, of which two points having a long separation distance are in the east-west direction. Alternatively, the map image may be generated at a scale reduced by a predetermined ratio so as to be both ends of the display range in the north-south direction.

As a result, the information processing device can display the sign of the point displayed at the end of the display range in the east-west direction or the north-south direction at a position slightly away from the boundary of the display range. It is possible to prevent the sign from being displayed at the boundary of the display range and reducing the visibility.

Specifically, the restaurant information providing server 100 searches for restaurant information that matches the search conditions based on the search request from the user terminal 200, generates a web page containing the search results, and sends the user terminal 200 to the user terminal 200. Send.

The user terminal 200 (200A, 200B, 200C ...) Is a terminal used by the user, and is, for example, a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet PC (Personal Computer), a notebook PC, a desktop PC, or the like.

The user terminal 200 determines the restaurant search conditions based on the user's operation, transmits the restaurant search request based on the search conditions to the restaurant information providing server 100 via the portal site or the corresponding application, and then transmits the restaurant information providing server 100. The web page of the search result and the web page (restaurant information page) of the desired restaurant among the search results are received and displayed on the screen by a browser or the like.

In the present embodiment, the restaurant information providing server 100 has a function of displaying a list of icons indicating the location (bookmark registration point) of the restaurant information page bookmarked by the user on the portal site on the map. The details of such bookmark point list display processing will be described below.

[Hardware configuration of restaurant information providing server]
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a hardware configuration of the restaurant information providing server 100. As shown in the figure, the restaurant information providing server 100 connects a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 11, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 12, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 13, an input / output interface 15, and these to each other. The bus 14 is provided.

The CPU 11 appropriately accesses the RAM 13 and the like as necessary, and comprehensively controls each block of the restaurant information providing server 100 while performing various arithmetic processes. The ROM 12 is a non-volatile memory in which firmware such as an OS, a program, and various parameters to be executed by the CPU 11 is fixedly stored. The RAM 13 is used as a work area of the CPU 11, and temporarily holds an OS, various applications being executed, and various data being processed.

A display unit 16, an operation reception unit 17, a storage unit 18, a communication unit 19, and the like are connected to the input / output interface 15.

The display unit 16 is a display device using, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), an OELD (Organic ElectroLuminescence Display), a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), or the like.

The operation reception unit 17 is, for example, a pointing device such as a mouse, a keyboard, a touch panel, or other input device. When the operation reception unit 17 is a touch panel, the touch panel can be integrated with the display unit 16.

The storage unit 18 is, for example, a non-volatile memory such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), a flash memory (SSD; Solid State Drive), or another solid-state memory. The OS, various applications, and various data are stored in the storage unit 18.

In particular, in the present embodiment, the storage unit 18 stores restaurant information of each restaurant, user information about the user of each user terminal 200, and the like, and the restaurant information providing server 100 registers bookmarks using these data. Stores applications and other programs for executing bookmark point list display processing including display processing. As will be described later, the storage unit 18 has a restaurant information database, a user information database, and a bookmark information database as a database containing such data.

The communication unit 19 is, for example, various modules for wireless communication such as a NIC (Network Interface Card) for Ethernet and a wireless LAN, and is responsible for communication processing with the user terminal 200.

Although not shown, the hardware configuration of the user terminal 200 is the same as the hardware configuration of the restaurant information providing server 100.

[Database configuration of restaurant information providing server]
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a configuration of a database included in the restaurant information providing server 100.

As shown in the figure, the restaurant information providing server 100 has a restaurant information database 31, a user information database 32, and a bookmark information database 33 in the storage unit 18.

The restaurant information database 31 includes the store name and location (latitude / longitude) information of the restaurant, the ID (facility ID) for identifying the restaurant, and the business type / service category of the restaurant for each restaurant. Information, content that introduces the restaurant, that is, information that indicates the characteristics of the service facility such as a PR statement of the service facility, event information performed by the restaurant, area information where the restaurant is located, address of the restaurant, telephone It stores information such as numbers, image data related to restaurants (introducing restaurants), menu information related to menus provided by restaurants, business hours, and website URLs.

The above menu information is information corresponding to the menu posted on the site of each restaurant on the above portal site, and the menu names of a plurality of menus that can be provided by each restaurant are stored for each restaurant. .. The menu information may be stored for each menu category such as appetizer / main, lunch / dinner / course, and the like. When the image data corresponds to the menu, the image data is stored in association with the menu information.

The above area information is, for example, a prefecture unit, but the information may be stored in a narrower range unit such as a city, ward, town, or village. The above category information may include, for example, a main category such as Japanese food, Chinese food, Italian food, French food, and yakiniku, as well as more detailed subcategories such as yakitori / tempura in Japanese food and pasta / pizza in Italian food.

The user information database 32 stores information about a user (member) of a restaurant information service via the portal site provided by the restaurant information providing server 100, which owns the user terminal 200. Specifically, the user information database 42 stores information such as a user ID, password, name, e-mail address, telephone number, address, age (group), gender, and birthday for each user.

The bookmark information database 33 stores the URL of the restaurant information page for which the bookmark registration request has been made from the user terminal 200 in association with the restaurant information.

Each of these databases is used by being referred to each other as necessary in the bookmark point list display processing by the restaurant information providing server 100 described later.

In addition to these databases, the restaurant information providing server 100 may store map image data including the location location of the restaurant to be bookmarked for the bookmark point list display processing, but it owns it. Instead, map image data that exists on the cloud for free in the form of, for example, GIS (geographic information system) data may be used.

[Operation of restaurant information providing server]
Next, the operation of the restaurant information providing server 100 configured as described above will be described. The operation is executed by the cooperation between the hardware such as the CPU 11 and the communication unit 19 of the restaurant information providing server 100 and the software stored in the storage unit 18. In the following description, for convenience, the CPU 11 is the main operating body.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of the bookmark point list display process by the restaurant information providing server 100.

As shown in the figure, the CPU 11 of the restaurant information providing server 100 first lists the location locations (bookmark registration points) of restaurants that it has bookmarked from the user terminal 200 logged in to the portal site on a map. It is determined whether or not the display request has been received (step 41).

Subsequently, the CPU 11 refers to the bookmark information database 33 and acquires the location information (latitude / longitude information) of the restaurant corresponding to all the bookmark information of the requesting user (step 42).

Subsequently, the CPU 11 acquires the current position information of the user terminal 200 from the user terminal 200 (step 43). The acquisition of the current position may be performed at the same time as the display request of the bookmark registration point.

Subsequently, the CPU 11 is on the latitude (in the case of north-south) or longitude (in the case of east-west) of the two points at both ends in the east-west direction and the two points at both ends in the north-south direction among all the bookmark registration points. It is assumed that the two points having the longer separation distances are both ends in the east-west direction or the north-south direction, and a temporary display range of the map image is set at the corresponding scale (step 44). The distance between the two points can be obtained from, for example, the position information (latitude / longitude information) of each restaurant stored in the restaurant information database 31. Here, it is assumed that the display range of the map image is rectangular and the aspect ratio is predetermined.

Subsequently, the CPU 11 determines a display range of a scale obtained by reducing the scale of the map corresponding to the temporary display range by a predetermined ratio (for example, about 5%) as an actual display range (step 45). That is, the CPU 11 determines as the actual display range a display range in which the viewable area on the map is expanded by a predetermined ratio from the temporary display range.

Subsequently, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the current location of the user terminal 200 is included in the temporary display range (step 46).

When it is determined that the current location of the user terminal 200 is included in the temporary display range (Yes), the CPU 11 is a map in which icons are arranged at the positions corresponding to all the bookmark registration points and the positions corresponding to the current locations. Generate an image (step 47).

On the other hand, when it is determined that the current location of the user terminal 200 is not included in the temporary display range (No), the CPU 11 generates a map image in which icons are arranged only at the positions corresponding to all the bookmark registration points (step 48). ).

Then, the CPU 11 transmits the generated map image to the user terminal 200 (step 49).

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a map image showing a list of bookmark registration points generated by the restaurant information providing server 100, transmitted to the user terminal 200, and displayed. The map image generation process by the CPU 11 will be described with reference to the figure.

As shown in the figure, in this example, a total of nine bookmark registration points are stored in the user terminal 200, and of these, two points B1 and B2 located at both ends in the east-west direction are separated on the longitude. The distance and the distance between the two points B3 and B4 located at both ends in the north-south direction on the latitude are longer in the former. Therefore, the CPU 11 sets a temporary display range Rt in which the points B1 and B2 are both ends in the east-west direction of the map image.

Since the current location P of the user terminal 200 is included in the CPU 11 and the temporary display range Rt, the display range corresponding to the scale obtained by reducing the scale of the temporary display range Rt by a predetermined ratio (the cover area is expanded by the arrow in the figure). The display range) is set to the actual display range R, and a map image in which icons are arranged at all bookmark registration points including the above points B1 to B4 and positions corresponding to the current location P is generated.

As a result, the restaurant information providing server 100 displays the current location when the current location can be displayed without changing the minimum display range for including all bookmark registration points, and when the current location is displayed, the display range can be changed. By not displaying the current location when necessary, it is possible to prevent the visibility of the bookmark registration point from being lowered due to the display of the current location.

Further, the restaurant information providing server 100 displays the icon of the point displayed at the end of the display range in the east-west direction or the north-south direction at a position slightly inward from the boundary of the display range. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the icon from being displayed at the boundary of the display range and reducing the visibility.

A hyperlink to the corresponding restaurant information (store name, menu, nearest station information, etc.) is set in the icon indicating the bookmark registration point above, and the user can tap / click the icon to display the restaurant information. Can be browsed.

[Summary]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the restaurant information providing server 100 can output a map image in which all the icons B related to the bookmarked restaurant points are plotted, so that the user can register all the bookmarks. The points can be grasped at once, and the listability can be improved.

[Modification example]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

In the above-described embodiment, when the current location of the user terminal 200 is included in the temporary display range Rt with the bookmark registration points at both ends in the east-west direction or the north-south direction as both ends, the restaurant information providing server 100 has the current location. The icon corresponding to is also arranged in the map image, and the icon corresponding to the current location is not arranged in the map image when it is not included in the temporary display range Rt. However, the restaurant information providing server 100 may arrange an icon corresponding to the current location on the map image regardless of the position of the current location (whether or not it is included in the temporary display range Rt).

In addition, when the current location is not included in the temporary display range, the current location is at either the north, south, east, or west end instead of the scale corresponding to the temporary display range and the points located at either of the two ends. If the ratio to the scale corresponding to the display range enlarged so as is less than the predetermined ratio (for example, about 0.8 or 0.9), the scale is set so as to include the current location and the current location is included. The icon corresponding to may be arranged on the map image.

As a result, when the current location of the user terminal 200 is outside the display range for including all bookmark registration points, the restaurant information providing server 100 exists at a position very close to the end of the display range. By adjusting the scale to include the current location and displaying the map image, it is possible to let the user grasp the positional relationship between the current location and the bookmark registration point while minimizing the decrease in visibility of the bookmark registration point. it can.

In the above-described embodiment, the restaurant information providing server 100 always generates a map image so that all bookmark registration points are included. However, even if the restaurant information providing server 100 generates a map image at a scale including all the bookmark registration points as described above when the number of bookmarks registered is less than a predetermined number (for example, 10, 30, etc.). Good. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the list display process in this case. When the number of bookmarks registered is equal to or greater than the predetermined number, the restaurant information providing server 100 has, as shown in the figure, each point (B1, B2, B3, B1, B2, B3, A map image is generated at a predetermined scale (for example, 1 / 50,000 / 100,000, etc., corresponding to the display range R in the figure) centered on the center point C of the rectangle S where each side intersects B4). You may.

As a result, when the number of bookmarks registered is large, the restaurant information providing server 100 limits the display range to a predetermined range as exception handling, thereby preventing deterioration of visibility due to displaying all bookmark registration points. it can.

In the above-described embodiment, the icon is displayed as a sign indicating the bookmark registration point (and the current location), but in place of or in addition to the icon, text information or image information indicating restaurant-related information such as a restaurant name is displayed. It may be displayed as a sign.

In the above-described embodiment, the explanation is made on the premise that one point (location information) is registered by bookmarking one restaurant page on the portal site. For example, a plurality of foods and drinks are added to one web page. When the points of facilities such as stores are associated (such as a summary page of multiple restaurants or an introduction page of multiple stores of the same management body), multiple points are registered by bookmarking one page. They may also be shown on the map image above.

In the above-described embodiment, the service facility is an example of a restaurant, but the service facility is not limited to the restaurant, for example, accommodation facilities such as hotels and inns, various sports facilities such as tennis, basketball, and golf, and karaoke. -The present invention is similarly applicable to various service facilities having an actual address, such as entertainment facilities such as boring and treatment facilities such as massage and beauty treatment salons. In this case, the bookmark registration target is a web page related to these service facilities, and various information processing devices can take on the function of the present invention instead of the restaurant information providing server 100.

Among the inventions described in the claims of the present application, the invention described as "information processing method" is such that at least one device such as a computer automatically performs each step by information processing by software. Yes, it is not something that humans do using devices such as computers. That is, the "information processing method" is an information processing method by computer software, not a method in which a human operates a calculation tool called a computer.
