[0010] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a diagram showing an overview of processing in a display processing system 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention;

[0011] The display processing system 100 is an information processing system realized by a display processing program. The display processing system 100 outputs display information for displaying the headline and the main text of an article to a user device (e.g., a user device 200 described later). The user device 200 displays the headline and the main text of the article based on the display information.

[0012] First, the display processing system 100 outputs display information for displaying the first headline display screen 111 that displays the first headline of the first article.

[0013] Next, the display processing system 100 acquires first operation information by the user in a first direction on the screen of the user device. Based on the first operation information, the display processing system 100 outputs display information for displaying a first body text display screen 112 that displays at least a part of a first body text corresponding to the first heading.

[0014] The display processing system 100 outputs first main text display information for displaying a first main text display screen to which the displayed main text has been transitioned, based on the first operation information that is further acquired.

[0015] The display processing system 100 outputs display information for displaying the first heading display screen 111 based on first operation information (final first operation information) for the final first body display screen 113 that displays the final part of the first body information. At this time, the display processing system 100 may output display information for displaying the second heading display screen 121 that displays the second heading, instead of the display information for displaying the first heading display screen 111.

[0016] Furthermore, the display processing system 100 acquires second operation information in a second direction different from the first direction for at least one of the first headline display screen 111 and the first body text display screen (including the first body text display screen 112 and the final first body text display screen 113) that displays at least a part of the first body text. Based on the second operation information, the display processing system 100 outputs second headline display information for displaying the second headline display screen 121 that displays the second headline of a second article that is different from the first article.

[0017] Furthermore, the display processing system 100 performs the same processing as in the case of the first article, based on the first operation information or the second operation information for the screen displaying the headline or the body text of the second article.

[0018] 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of a display processing system 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The display processing system 100 is communicably connected to a user device 200 and an article management system 300 via a network such as the Internet. Details of the display processing system 100 will be described later.

[0019] The user device 200 is an information processing device used by a user, such as a computer, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a personal computer.

[0020] A user uses the user device 200 to receive a display based on display information generated in the display processing system 100. The user performs a first operation in a first direction and a second operation in a second direction on the screen of the user device 200 displayed based on the display information. The user device 200 outputs the first operation information or the second operation information directly or indirectly to the display processing system. Then, the user receives a display based on the display information generated in the display processing system 100 based on the first operation information or the second operation information.

[0021] The article management system 300 is an information processing system that manages a plurality of article information items, which will be described later.

[0022] The article management system 300 outputs article information to the display processing system 100 directly or indirectly.

[0023] The article management system 300 may be included in the display processing system 100 , or the article management system 300 may include the display processing system 100 .

[0024] Although one user device 200 and one article management system 300 are shown in FIG. 2, there may be a plurality of user devices 200 and a plurality of article management systems 300.

[0025] Next, details of the display processing system 100 will be described. The display processing system 100 includes a storage unit 110, an article information acquisition unit 120, an operation acquisition unit 130, a headline display generation unit 140, a headline display output unit 150, a main text display generation unit 160, and a main text display output unit 170. Each unit shown in Fig. 2 can be realized, for example, by using a storage area or by a processor executing a program stored in the storage area.

[0026] The storage unit 110 stores information to be processed in the display processing system 100. The storage unit 110 can store, for example, article information, first operation information, second operation information, final first operation information, first headline display information, first main text display information, final first main text information, second headline display information, and second main text display information, which will be described later.

[0027] (Article Information Acquisition Department) The article information acquisition unit 120 acquires a plurality of pieces of article information from the article management system 300 and stores them in the storage unit 110 .

[0028] Here, an article is, for example, information including text published in a publication (e.g., a newspaper, magazine, academic journal, etc.), and includes, for example, a news article, an interview article, an advertisement, and a paper. An article includes, for example, a headline and a main text. An article includes, for example, text, diagrams, still images, moving images, and other media that convey predetermined content. In this embodiment, a case will be described in which the article is a news article published in a newspaper, but the article is not limited to a news article published in a newspaper. Furthermore, the article may be written in Japanese, or may be written in another language (e.g., English). The article may be written vertically or horizontally.

[0029] The article information includes headline information about the headline of the article and body information about the body of the article. The headline information may include only one headline, or may include multiple headline information (e.g., information about multiple headlines written in multiple font sizes, as is commonly used in a single article published in a newspaper). The body information may include, for example, text, diagrams, still images, moving images, and other media that convey predetermined content.

[0030] The article information may also be associated with display order information regarding the order in which the articles are to be displayed. The display order information may be, for example, display order information indicating the order in which the articles are to be displayed on the user device 200.

[0031] If the articles are newspaper articles, the display order may be determined, for example, according to the position in the newspaper. That is, for example, the article displayed in the upper right corner of the first page of the newspaper may be ranked first. This allows the display processing system 100 to display article information to the user device 200 in an order that follows the order in the newspaper. In this regard, the order in the newspaper is determined taking into consideration the importance of the news as determined by the newspaper company that publishes the article. Therefore, if the display order is determined, for example, according to the position in the newspaper, the user will not be given priority in accessing information customized to his or her own preferences, but the display processing system 100 can display article information to the user device 200 in an order that follows the order in the newspaper provided to the public.

[0032] The article information may also be extracted in order of importance for each category of article content. Here, for example, if the article is a newspaper article, the category may be "politics," "economy," "society," etc. Important articles may be determined, for example, according to the position of the article in the newspaper page for each category (i.e., the economic page, for example). In this case, in other words, the article information may be associated with display order information such that an article published in the upper right corner of the political page is ranked first, an article published in the upper right corner of the economic page is ranked second, an article published in the upper right corner of the social page is ranked third, an article published second in the political page is ranked fourth, an article published second in the economic page is ranked fifth, and an article published second in the social page is ranked sixth. This allows the display processing system 100 to preferentially display important article information for each category to the user device 200 in accordance with the order of newspaper pages provided to the public.

[0033] Furthermore, the article information may be associated with different display order information for each user. The display processing system may associate display order information based on the browsing history information for each user by inputting multiple pieces of article information (e.g., article information for the entire morning paper page) into a predetermined learning model that is trained based on browsing history information regarding the user's browsing history of the text (e.g., article content, browsing time, etc.). This allows the display processing system 100 to display the article information on the user device 200 in an order based on the user's browsing history.

[0034] 3 is a diagram showing an example of article information stored in the storage unit 110. The article information stored in the storage unit 110 includes, for example, headline information, body information, and display order information.

[0035] (Operation acquisition part) The operation acquisition unit 130 acquires first operation information by a user in a first direction relative to the screen of the user device 200, which displays the first headline display screen, and stores the acquired first operation information in the memory unit 110.

[0036] Furthermore, the operation acquisition unit 130 can acquire first operation information for the user device 200 that displays the first main text display screen.

[0037] Furthermore, the operation acquisition unit 130 acquires information about a final first operation by the user in a first direction on the user device 200 that displays a final first body display screen that displays the final part of the first body information, and stores the acquired final first operation information in the storage unit 110. Note that, hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, the first body display screen includes the final first body display screen, and the first operation information includes the final first operation information.

[0038] The operation acquisition unit 130 acquires second operation information by the user in a second direction relative to the screen of the user device 200, which displays the first headline display screen, and stores the acquired second operation information in the memory unit 110.

[0039] In addition, the operation acquisition unit 130 acquires third operation information by the user in a third direction different from the first direction and the second direction on the user device 200 that displays at least one of the first headline display screen and the first main text display screen, and stores the acquired third operation information in the memory unit 110.

[0040] Furthermore, the operation acquisition unit 130 acquires fourth operation information in a fourth direction by the user on the screen of the user device 200, which displays a list display screen described later, and stores the acquired fourth operation information in the storage unit 110. Here, the fourth direction may be, for example, a direction different from the first direction and the third direction. For example, it may be the same direction as the second direction. For example, if the first direction is a horizontal swipe direction, the fourth direction may be a vertical swipe direction.

[0041] Furthermore, the operation acquisition unit 130 acquires fifth operation information by the user in a fifth direction relative to the screen of the user device 200, on which the first headline display screen or the first body display screen is displayed, and stores the acquired fifth operation information in the storage unit 110. Furthermore, the operation acquisition unit 130 acquires sixth operation information by the user in a sixth direction relative to the screen of the user device 200, on which the first headline display screen or the first body display screen is displayed, and stores the acquired sixth operation information in the storage unit 110.

[0042] The first to sixth operation information include, for example, operation information based on a swipe operation performed on the screen of the user device 200 using the user's finger.

[0043] The first direction may be, for example, a horizontal or vertical direction with respect to the screen of user device 200. When the first direction is horizontal, the first operation may be, for example, an operation in which the user swipes his / her finger from right to left or from left to right. When the first direction is vertical, the first operation may be, for example, an operation in which the user swipes his / her finger from top to bottom or from bottom to top.

[0044] The second direction may be a direction different from the first direction, and in particular, may be a direction opposite to the first direction, for example, if the first direction is a direction in which the user swipes their finger from left to right (swipe direction), the second direction may be a swipe direction from right to left.

[0045] The third direction may be different from the first and second directions. For example, the third direction may be perpendicular to the first direction. That is, if the first direction is the horizontal direction, the third direction may be the vertical direction.

[0046] The combination of the first direction and the third direction may be different depending on whether the displayed article is written vertically or horizontally. That is, if the displayed article is written vertically, the combination of the first direction and the third direction may be such that the first direction is horizontal and the third direction is vertical, and if the displayed article is written horizontally, the combination of the first direction and the third direction may be such that the first direction is vertical and the third direction is horizontal.

[0047] In particular, if the displayed article is written vertically, a first horizontal operation from left to right may transition the article body to the next page, a first horizontal operation from right to left may transition the article body to the previous page, a third vertical operation from bottom to top may display the headline of the next article, and a third vertical operation from top to bottom may display the headline of the previous article. Such an operation and display mode is suitable for displaying a vertically written article that advances pages from left to right.

[0048] In addition, if the article to be displayed is written horizontally, the first vertical operation from bottom to top may cause the body of the article to move to the next page, the first vertical operation from top to bottom may cause the body of the article to move to the previous page, the third horizontal operation from right to left may cause the headline of the next article to be displayed, and the third horizontal operation from left to right may cause the headline of the previous article to be displayed.

[0049] The fifth direction may be, for example, a swipe direction diagonally downward, particularly, for example, a swipe direction from the upper right diagonal part to the center of the user device 200, and the sixth direction may be, for example, a swipe direction diagonally upward, particularly, for example, a swipe direction from the lower left diagonal part to the center of the user device 200.

[0050] Each of the first to sixth directions may include an angle within a predetermined range. For example, if the first direction is the horizontal direction, the first direction may include directions within a predetermined error angle (e.g., 10 degrees) with respect to the horizontal direction on the screen of user device 200.

[0051] At this time, the angle error may be determined in user device 200. That is, when the user performs each of the first to sixth operations, user device 200 first detects each of the first to sixth operations by the user, for example, taking into consideration a predetermined error range, and generates each of the first to sixth operation information. Then, user device 200 outputs each of the first to sixth operation information to display processing system 100, and operation acquisition unit 130 acquires each of the first to sixth operation information.

[0052] The operation acquisition unit 130 may acquire the coordinates of the start position of the swipe operation (the position where the user's finger touches the screen) and the coordinates of the end position of the swipe operation (the position where the user's finger leaves the screen). The operation acquisition unit 130 may determine the direction of the swipe operation based on the coordinate difference between the start position and the end position of the swipe operation. Furthermore, the operation acquisition unit 130 may identify the direction of the input swipe operation by setting an allowable range or threshold for the coordinate difference for each predetermined direction (first direction, second direction, third direction, etc.).

[0053] (Headline display generation unit) In response to a user operation (e.g., first operation information and third operation information), the headline display generation unit 140 generates headline display information (e.g., first headline display information and second headline display information, which will be described later) for displaying a headline display screen that displays article headlines on the user device 200, and stores the generated headline display information in the memory unit 110.

[0054] (Headline display output section) The headline display output unit 150 outputs the headline display information generated by the headline display generation unit 140. The headline display output unit 150 outputs the headline display information to the user device 200, for example.

[0055] (Text display generation part) The main text display generation unit 160 generates main text display information (e.g., first main text display information and second main text display information, which will be described later) for displaying a main text display screen that displays the main text of an article on the user device 200 in response to a user operation (e.g., first operation information and second operation information), and stores the generated main text display information in the memory unit 110.

[0056] (Text display output part) The text display output unit 170 outputs the text display information generated by the text display generation unit 160. The text display output unit 170 outputs the text display information to the user device 200, for example.

[0057] Next, a description will be given of the generation and output process of a display screen in response to a user operation.

[0058] Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on user device 200. The screen shown in Fig. 4 is an example of a screen displaying the cover of a publication (in this case, a newspaper) that carries an article referenced by the user. The screen shown in Fig. 4 includes, for example, an area 410 that displays the title of the publication (e.g., title, publication date), and an area 420 that displays instructions for the user to display articles contained in the publication.

[0059] Area 420 displays, for example, an indication (e.g., text or an icon) that the user needs to swipe in a second direction (vertically in this case) to display an article contained in the publication.

[0060] 4, when a user performs an operation in a second direction (for example, a swipe operation) on user device 200 displaying the screen shown in Fig. 4, user device 200 outputs second operation information to display processing system 100, and operation acquisition unit 130 acquires the second operation information. Headline display generation unit 140 generates display information for displaying a headline display screen that displays the headline of an article (for example, the first article) based on the second operation information, and headline display output unit 150 outputs the display information to user device 200.

[0061] At this time, the headline of the article displayed based on the second operation information on the screen shown in FIG. 4 may be, for example, the headline of the article whose display order information is ranked first.

[0062] Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the user device 200. The screen shown in Fig. 5 is an example of a first headline display screen that displays the headline (first headline) of the first article referenced by the user.

[0063] Headline display generation unit 140 references storage unit 110 to generate first headline display information for displaying a first headline display screen on user device 200 that displays first headline information of first article information included in the plurality of article information, and headline display output unit 150 outputs the first headline display information. User device 200 displays the first headline display screen shown in Fig. 5, for example, based on the first headline display information.

[0064] The screen shown in FIG. 5 includes, for example, an area 510 for displaying a first headline, and an area 520 for displaying instructions for the user to display a first body text corresponding to the first headline.

[0065] Area 520 displays, for example, an instruction (for example, a character or an icon) that the user needs to perform a swipe operation in a first direction (horizontal in this case) to display the first main text. Based on first operation information for the screen shown in Fig. 5, main text display generation unit 160 generates first main text display information for displaying a first main text display screen that displays at least a part of the main text of the first article (first main text), and main text display output unit 170 outputs the first main text display information.

[0066] The screen shown in FIG. 5 may be displayed, for example, based on second operation information for the screen shown in FIG.

[0067] Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the user device 200. The screen shown in Fig. 6 is an example of a first main text display screen.

[0068] The text display generation unit 160 generates first text display information for displaying a first text display screen, which displays at least a part of the first text information corresponding to the first text information, on the user device 200, based on first operation information for the first heading display screen (for example, the screen shown in FIG. 5), and the text display output unit 170 outputs the first text display information. The user device 200 displays, for example, the first text display screen shown in FIG. 6 based on the first text display information.

[0069] The screen shown in FIG. 6 includes, for example, an area 610 that displays at least a part of the first body text.

[0070] Area 610 displays, for example, a predetermined range of the first body text. The predetermined range of the first body text is, for example, a range of the first body text that is an appropriate amount of information (for example, a predetermined number of characters in a predetermined character size) when displayed at one time on user device 200. The predetermined range may be set by the user or by an administrator of display processing system 100.

[0071] 6, the text display generation unit 160 generates first text display information for displaying a first text display screen to which the displayed text has been transitioned on the user device 200, and the text display output unit 170 outputs the first text display information. That is, the user can refer to the screen to which the text has been transitioned (for example, the screen of the next page) by performing a further first operation on the first text display screen.

[0072] Here, the transition of the main text includes, for example, a process of displaying the page next to the currently displayed page among multiple pages with a predetermined number of characters and a predetermined character size when displayed on the user device 200. Note that the number of pages and the main text written on each page may differ depending on the character size and the number of characters, and may also differ for each user device 200.

[0073] 7 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the user device 200. The screen shown in FIG. 7 is an example of a screen when the main text transitions due to a first operation. The screen shown in FIG. 7 includes an area 710 that displays at least a part of the main text of the previous page (for example, the screen shown in FIG. 6) and an area 720 that displays at least a part of the main text of the next page. Due to the first operation (in this case, a swipe operation from left to right), the areas 710 and 720 move to the right of the user device 200, the area 710 is not displayed on the user device 200, and the area 720 is displayed on the user device 200, thereby transitioning the main text.

[0074] Furthermore, headline display generation unit 140 generates either first headline display information or second headline display information (described later) based on first operation information in a first direction (final first operation information) for user device 200 displaying a final first body display screen displaying the final portion of the first body information, and headline display output unit 150 outputs either the generated first headline display information or second headline display information (described later). As a result, when the user has read up to the last page of the first article, the user can, by performing a further first operation, receive a display of a screen returning to the beginning of the first article, and can also receive a display of the headline of a second article (e.g., the next article).

[0075] In addition, whether the headline display generation unit 140 generates the first headline display information or the second headline display information described below based on the final first operation information may be set in advance by, for example, an administrator of the display processing system 100.

[0076] Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the user device 200. The screen shown in Fig. 8 is an example of a second headline display screen that displays the headline of the second article (second headline).

[0077] Based on second operation information in user device 200, which displays at least one of a first headline display screen (e.g., the screen shown in FIG. 5) and a first main text display screen (e.g., the screen shown in FIG. 6), headline display generation unit 140 generates second headline display information for displaying a second headline display screen that displays second headline information of second article information different from the first article information, and headline display output unit 150 outputs the second headline display information. User device 200 displays, for example, the second headline display screen shown in FIG. 8 based on the second headline display information.

[0078] The screen shown in FIG. 8 includes, for example, an area 810 for displaying a second headline, and an area 820 for displaying instructions for the user to display a second body of text corresponding to the first headline.

[0079] Area 820 displays, for example, an instruction (for example, a character or an icon) that the user needs to swipe in a first direction (horizontally in this case) to display the second main text. Based on first operation information for the second headline display screen (for example, the screen shown in FIG. 8), main text display generation unit 160 generates second main text display information for displaying a second main text display screen that displays at least a part of the main text of the second article (second main text), and main text display output unit 170 outputs the second main text display information.

[0080] In this case, the second article may be the article next in display order after the first article, which allows the user to easily refer to the headline of the next article by performing the second operation.

[0081] In this way, the display processing by the display processing system allows the user to proceed with viewing the first article being displayed by operating in the first direction, and to change the displayed article from the first article to the second article by operating in the second direction. This allows the user to receive a highly convenient display process that is suited to the user device 200.

[0082] The examples of the screens shown in FIGS. 4 to 8 are examples of display screens based on display information output by the display processing system 100, and the display modes are not limited to these.

[0083] 4 to 8 based on information indicating the user's operation (e.g., first operation information, second operation information) and the type of screen displayed on the user device 200 at the time of the operation (e.g., headline display screen, main text display screen). That is, the display processing system 100 (especially the headline display generation unit 140 and the main text display generation unit 160) can determine the type of screen displayed on the user device 200 at the time of the operation, and generate display information based on the type and the user's operation.

[0084] Fig. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of processing in the display processing system 100. The flowchart shown in Fig. 9 shows an example of display processing based on first operation information for the first headline display screen or the first body text display screen.

[0085] The article information acquisition unit 120 acquires first article information (S901). The headline display generation unit 140 generates first headline display information, and the headline display output unit 150 outputs the first headline display information (S902). The operation acquisition unit 130 acquires first operation information for the first headline display screen (S903). The main text display generation unit 160 generates first main text display information based on the first operation information, and the main text display output unit 170 outputs the first main text display information (S904).

[0086] Next, the operation acquisition unit 130 acquires first operation information for the first main text display screen (S905). Then, the main text display generation unit 160 generates first main text display information in which the main text has been transitioned based on the first operation information, and the main text display output unit 170 outputs the first main text display information (S906).

[0087] Fig. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of processing in the display processing system 100. The flowchart shown in Fig. 10 shows an example of display processing based on a first operation on the final first main text display screen.

[0088] The text display generation unit 160 generates final first text display information, and the text display output unit 170 outputs the final first text display information (S1001). The operation acquisition unit 130 acquires final first operation information for the final first text display screen (S1002). The headline display generation unit 140 generates either first headline display information or second headline display information based on the final first operation information, and the headline display output unit 150 outputs either the first headline display information or the second headline display information (S1003).

[0089] Fig. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of processing in the display processing system 100. The flowchart shown in Fig. 11 shows an example of display processing based on a second operation on the first headline display screen or the first body text display screen.

[0090] The operation acquisition unit 130 acquires second operation information for the first headline display screen or the first main text display screen (S1101). The headline display generation unit 140 generates second headline display information based on the second operation information, and the headline display output unit 150 outputs the second headline display information (S1102).

[0091] Next, an example of a hardware configuration in which the display processing system 100 is realized by a computer 1200 will be described with reference to Fig. 12. Fig. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the computer 1200.

[0092] As shown in FIG. 12, a computer 1200 includes, for example, a processor 1201, a memory 1202, a storage device 1203, an input I / F unit 1204, a data I / F unit 1205, a communication I / F unit 1206, and a display device 1207.

[0093] Computer 1200 may be, for example, a server computer, a personal computer (e.g., desktop, laptop, tablet, etc.), a media computing platform (e.g., cable, satellite set-top box, digital video recorder, etc.), a handheld computing device (e.g., PDA, email client, etc.), or any other type of computing or communications platform.

[0094] The processor 1201 is a control unit that controls various processes in the computer 1200 by executing programs stored in the memory 1202 .

[0095] The memory 1202 is a storage medium such as a RAM (Random Access Memory), etc. The memory 1202 temporarily stores the program code of the program executed by the processor 1201 and data required when the program is executed.

[0096] The storage device 1203 is a non-volatile storage medium such as a hard disk drive (HDD), flash memory, etc. The storage device 1203 stores an operating system and various programs for realizing the above-mentioned components.

[0097] The input I / F unit 1204 is a device for receiving input from a user. The input I / F unit 1204 is, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, various sensors, a wearable device, etc. The input I / F unit 1204 may be connected to the computer 1200 via an interface such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus).

[0098] The data I / F unit 1205 is a device for inputting data from outside the computer 1200. The data I / F unit 1205 is, for example, a drive device for reading data stored in various storage media. The data I / F unit 1205 may be provided outside the computer 1200. When the data I / F unit 1205 is provided outside the computer 1200, the data I / F unit 1205 is connected to the computer 1200 via an interface such as a USB.

[0099] The communication I / F unit 1206 is a device for performing data communication via a network such as the Internet, either wired or wirelessly, with devices external to the computer 1200. The communication I / F unit 1206 may be provided outside the computer 1200. When the communication I / F unit 1206 is provided outside the computer 1200, the communication I / F unit 1206 is connected to the computer 1200 via an interface such as a USB.

[0100] The display device 1207 is a device for displaying various types of information. The display device 1207 is, for example, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display, a display of a wearable device, or the like. The display device 1207 may be provided outside the computer 1200. When the display device 1207 is provided outside the computer 1200, the display device 1207 is connected to the computer 1200 via, for example, a display cable. Furthermore, when a touch panel is adopted as the input I / F unit 1204, the display device 1207 may be configured as an integral part of the input I / F unit 1204.

[0101] <Variation 1> Next, a description will be given of a first modified example of the display processing system 100. The first modified example of the display processing system 100 is similar to the display processing system 100, but further includes a list information acquisition unit 180, a list display generation unit 190, and a list display output unit 195.

[0102] The list information acquisition unit 180 acquires list information for displaying a list of multiple articles, and stores the acquired list information in the storage unit 110.

[0103] The list information may be page information about the page in which the article is published.

[0104] The page information may include, for example, layout information regarding the layout (configuration) when displaying articles in a list. The layout information may define, for example, the number of articles included in the list, the position of each article in the list, the area each article occupies in the list, the degree of overlap between articles in the list, etc. The degree of overlap between articles in the list may be such that the articles are arranged so that they do not overlap each other. The layout information may be defined according to the actual layout of the newspaper page in which the articles are published.

[0105] The page information may include, for example, information associating article information with layout information.

[0106] The page information may include, for example, character decoration information related to character decoration when displaying articles in a list. The character decoration information may define, for example, the font, character size, character background, decoration such as underlining and enclosed characters for each article (or article headline) included in the list. The character decoration information may be defined in accordance with the actual character decoration of the newspaper page in which the article is published.

[0107] The list information may be headline list information relating to a list of headlines of a plurality of articles.

[0108] The headline list information may include, for example, information associating the headlines of articles with display order information or publication order information regarding the publication order of articles in the newspaper.

[0109] The list display generation unit 190 generates list display information for displaying a list display screen on the user device 200 that displays a list of multiple articles including the first article in response to a user operation (e.g., second operation information), and stores the generated list display information in the memory unit 110.

[0110] The list display screen may be, for example, a page display screen for displaying the page on which the article is published in the paper (e.g., a newspaper or magazine) in which the article is published, or a headline list display screen that displays the headlines of multiple articles belonging to the page to which the article belongs in order (e.g., from top to bottom in the order in which they are published in the paper).

[0111] The list display output unit 195 outputs the list display information generated by the list display generation unit 190. The list display generation unit 190 outputs the list display information to the user device 200, for example.

[0112] The generation and output process of a display screen in response to a user operation in a modified example of the display processing system 100 will be described.

[0113] 13 to 17 are diagrams illustrating examples of screens displayed on the user device 200. Fig. 13 is an image diagram of a newspaper page containing an article. Figs. 14 to 17 are examples of list display screens, with Figs. 14 and 15 being examples of newspaper page display screens and Figs. 16 and 17 being examples of headline list display screens.

[0114] The list display generation unit 190 generates list display information for displaying the list display screen on the user device 200 based on second operation information for the first heading display screen (for example, the screen shown in FIG. 5), and the list display output unit 195 outputs the list display information. Based on the list display information, the user device 200 displays, for example, a list display screen shown in any of FIGS. 14 to 17. The list display screen displayed based on the second operation information for the first heading display screen (for example, the screen shown in FIG. 5) may be a page display screen or a heading list display screen.

[0115] Furthermore, either the page display screen or the page list display screen may be displayed based on second operation information for the first page display screen (for example, the screen shown in Fig. 5), and the other of the page display screen or the list display screen may be displayed based on second operation information for either the page display screen or the list display screen.Whether the page display screen or the list display screen is displayed based on second operation information for the first page display screen (for example, the screen shown in Fig. 5) may be determined based on a setting made in advance by the user.

[0116] The screen shown in Fig. 14 includes a page display area 1410 that displays articles and headlines in the layout (position, font, area, etc.) that is published in the page. The screen shown in Fig. 14 shows an example in which the page is the newspaper shown in Fig. 13. On the screen shown in Fig. 14, a list of multiple articles is displayed using a layout that corresponds to the layout of the page shown in Fig. 13.

[0117] The screen shown in Fig. 15 includes a page display area 1510 that displays articles in a list of headlines using, for example, the layout (position, size, etc.) and / or character decoration published in the page. The screen shown in Fig. 15 shows an example in which the page is the newspaper shown in Fig. 13. On the screen shown in Fig. 15, multiple articles are displayed in a list of their headlines using a layout corresponding to the page layout and character decoration corresponding to the page character decoration shown in Fig. 13. As shown in Fig. 15, the page layout may be retained while the article headlines are displayed in the center of the display area for each article.

[0118] On the screens shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the article (first article) that was displayed when the second operation information was acquired may be displayed in a manner different from other articles, for example, in a highlighted manner.

[0119] 16 includes, for example, a headline list display area 1610 that displays a list. The headline list display area 1610 may display, for example, a list of headlines of a plurality of articles that belong to a page to which the article (first article) that was displayed when the second operation information was acquired belongs. Also, for example, a list of headlines of a plurality of articles that belong to a page to which the article (first article) that was displayed when the third operation information was acquired belongs may be displayed. Each of the headlines displayed in the headline list display area 1610 may be displayed using a layout corresponding to the layout (position, area, etc.) published in the page and / or character style corresponding to the character style published in the page.

[0120] The screen shown in Fig. 16 is an example of a list display screen in which headings are arranged in order along the short side of the screen of user device 200. In contrast, the screen shown in Fig. 17 is an example of a list display screen in which headings are arranged in order along the long side of the screen of user device 200. The screen shown in Fig. 17 may be displayed in response to detection of the physical orientation (portrait, landscape, etc.) of user device 200. The screen shown in Fig. 17 may also be displayed in accordance with a setting made by the user.

[0121] The page displayed on the user device 200 may transition in response to acquisition by the operation acquisition unit 130 of fourth operation information for the user device 200 displaying the list display screen. Specifically, when the list display screen is a page display screen, if the user swipes up or down on the user device 200 displaying the list display screen, at least a portion of the page on which the list display screen is displayed may move in response to the swipe, or the page on which the list display screen is displayed may move to the next page. Also, when the list display screen is a headline list display screen, if the user swipes up or down on the user device 200 displaying the list display screen, the headlines displayed on the list display screen may transition in sequence in response to the swipe. This allows the user to easily and intuitively transition the content displayed on the list display screen, and allows the user to easily search for an article they wish to refer to.

[0122] When a user selects (e.g., touches) an article displayed on the list display screen, a headline display screen (i.e., a screen corresponding to FIG. 5) or a main text display screen (i.e., a screen corresponding to FIG. 6) of the selected article may be displayed on the user device 200. This allows the user to simply and intuitively receive a display of the headline or main text of the article they wish to refer to from the list display screen, and easily refer to the article.

[0123] The operations relating to the above-mentioned screen transitions will be described with reference to Figures 18 and 19. Figure 18 is a diagram for explaining the operations relating to an example of switching of screen displays in response to user operations. For example, the first operation is a swipe operation from left to right, the second operation is a swipe operation from right to left, the third operation is a swipe operation from bottom to top, and the fourth operation is a swipe operation from top to bottom. The display processing system 100 arranges the first headline display screen 1810 to be centered and displays the first main text display screen 1820 across one page or multiple pages to the left of the first headline display screen 1810. For example, in response to acquiring a first operation (a swipe operation from left to right) on the first headline display screen 1810 by the user, the display processing system 100 displays the first main text display screen 1820. Furthermore, the display processing system 100 arranges the list display screen 1830 to be displayed on the right side of the first headline display screen 1810. For example, in response to acquiring a second operation (a swipe operation from right to left) on the first headline display screen 1810 by the user, the list display screen 1830 is displayed. Furthermore, the display processing system 100 arranges headline display screens 1811 (for example, second headline display screens) of articles different from the first article to be displayed above and below the first headline display screen 1810. For example, in response to acquiring a third operation (a swipe operation from bottom to top) on the first headline display screen 1810 by the user, the second headline display screen 1811 is displayed. In addition, in response to acquiring a fourth operation (a swipe operation from top to bottom) on the second headline display screen 1811 by the user, the first headline display screen 1810 is displayed. Furthermore, the display processing system 100 arranges main text display screens 1821 (for example, second main text display screens) of articles different from the first article to be displayed above and below the first main text display screen 1820. For example, in response to acquiring a third operation (a swipe operation from bottom to top) on the first main text display screen 1820 by the user, the display processing system 100 displays the second main text display screen 1811. In addition, in response to acquiring a fourth operation (a swipe operation from top to bottom) on the second main text display screen 1821 by the user, the display processing system 100 displays the first main text display screen 1820. Furthermore, the display processing system 100 arranges transitioned list display screens 1831 (for example, lists of pages or headings before and after the list display screen 1830. These may be screens such as those illustrated in FIGS. 14 to 16. These may be called second list display screens) above and below the list display screen 1830 (which may also be called the first list display screen). For example, in response to acquiring a third operation (a swipe operation from bottom to top) on the first list display screen 1830 by the user, the second list display screen 1831 is displayed. In addition, in response to acquiring a fourth operation (a swipe operation from top to bottom) on the second list display screen 1831 by the user, the first list display screen 1830 is displayed. This allows the user to refer to the article with great convenience.

[0124] Fig. 19 is a diagram for explaining an example of the operation of switching the screen display in response to a user operation. The example of Fig. 19 differs from the example of Fig. 18 in that two types of list display screens are used. For example, the first operation is a swipe operation from left to right, the second operation is a swipe operation from right to left, the third operation is a swipe operation from bottom to top, and the fourth operation is a swipe operation from top to bottom. The display processing system 100 arranges the headline list display screen 1910 as the center, and arranges the body text display screen 1920 to the left of the headline list display screen 1910 so as to display one page or multiple pages. The body text display screen 1920 may display the body text of the article of a selected headline in response to a user's headline selection operation on the headline display screen 1910. For example, the first body text display screen 1920 of the first article is arranged to be displayed in response to acquiring a selection operation on a first headline on the list display screen 1910 by the user. Furthermore, the headline list display screen 1910 is arranged to be displayed in response to acquiring a first operation (a swipe operation from left to right) on a final body text display screen included in the body text display screen 1920. The display processing system 100 also arranges the page display screen 1930 to be displayed on the right side of the headline list display screen 1910. For example, the page display screen 1930 is displayed in response to acquiring a second operation (a swipe operation from right to left) by the user on the headline list display screen 1910. The display processing system 100 also displays the headline list display screen 1910 in response to acquiring a first operation (a swipe operation from left to right) by the user on the page display screen 1930. Furthermore, the display processing system 100 arranges headline list display screens 1911 (e.g., second headline list display screens) of multiple articles different from the articles of the multiple headlines included in headline list display screen 1910 (e.g., first headline display screen) above and below headline list display screen 1910 so as to display them. For example, in response to acquiring a third operation (a swipe operation from bottom to top) on first headline list display screen 1910 by the user, the second headline list display screen 1911 is displayed. In addition, in response to acquiring a fourth operation (a swipe operation from top to bottom) on second headline list display screen 1911 by the user, the first headline list display screen 1910 is displayed. The operation in response to acquiring a selection operation on second headline list display screen 1911 is the same as that in the case of first headline list display screen 1910. 18, the display processing system 100 arranges main text display screens 1921 (e.g., second main text display screens) of articles different from the first article to be displayed above and below the main text display screen 1920 (e.g., first main text display screen). The operation in response to acquisition of a user operation is the same as in the case of FIG. 18. The operation in response to acquisition of a swipe operation on the second main text display screen 1921 is the same as in the case of the first main text display screen 1920 of FIG. 19. Furthermore, the display processing system 100 arranges the transitioned paper space display screen 1931 (a screen displaying a paper space (page) different from the paper space of the paper space display screen 1930; for example, a second paper space display screen) above and below the paper space display screen 1930 (for example, a first paper space display screen). For example, in response to acquiring a third operation (a swipe operation from bottom to top) on the first paper space display screen 1930 by the user, the second paper space display screen 1931 is displayed. In addition, in response to acquiring a fourth operation (a swipe operation from top to bottom) on the second paper space display screen 1931 by the user, the first paper space display screen 1930 is displayed. This allows the user to refer to the article with great convenience.

[0125] Furthermore, in response to acquisition of fifth operation information by the operation acquisition unit 130, the list display generation unit 190 may generate a list display screen for a page immediately preceding the page to which the article displayed when the fifth operation information was acquired belongs (more specifically, a newspaper page display screen for the immediately preceding page or a headline list display screen displaying headlines of multiple articles belonging to the immediately preceding page), and the list display output unit 195 may output the list display screen. This allows the user to easily and intuitively change the page of the newspaper page displayed on the user device 200. In addition, in response to acquisition of sixth operation information by the operation acquisition unit 130, the list display generation unit 190 may generate a list display screen for displaying a page immediately following the page to which the article displayed when the sixth operation information was acquired belongs, and the list display output unit 195 may output the list display screen. This allows the user to easily and intuitively change the page of the newspaper page displayed on the user device 200.

[0126] The operation relating to the above-mentioned screen transition (the operation when the user's operation includes a diagonal operation) will be described with reference to Fig. 20. Fig. 20 is a diagram for explaining the operation relating to an example of switching of screen display in response to a user's operation. In the example of Fig. 20, the arrangement of the headline display screen and the main text display screen by the display processing system 100 is assumed to be similar to the example of Fig. 18, and the operation in response to a diagonal operation by the user will be particularly described. For example, the fifth operation is a swipe operation from the upper right diagonal to the center, and the sixth operation is a swipe operation from the lower left diagonal to the center. In response to acquiring a fifth operation (a swipe operation from the upper right diagonal to the center) by the user on the first list display screen 2030, the display processing system 100 displays the second list display screen 2031. In addition, in response to acquiring a sixth operation (a swipe operation from the lower left diagonal to the center) by the user on the second list display screen 2031, the display processing system 100 displays the first list display screen 2030. This allows the user to easily and intuitively change the page of the newspaper displayed on the user device 200.

[0127] Fig. 21 is a flowchart showing an example of processing in the display processing system 100. The flowchart shown in Fig. 21 shows an example of display processing based on the second operation and the fourth operation.

[0128] First, the list information acquisition unit 180 acquires list information (S1401). The operation acquisition unit 130 acquires second operation information for the first index display screen (S1402). The list display generation unit 190 generates list display information in accordance with the second operation information, and the list display output unit 195 outputs the list display information (S1403). The operation acquisition unit 130 acquires fourth operation information for the list display screen (S1404). The list display generation unit 190 generates transitioned list display information in accordance with the fourth operation information, and the list display output unit 195 outputs the transitioned list display information (S1405).

[0129] Fig. 22 is a flowchart showing an example of processing in the display processing system 100. The flowchart shown in Fig. 22 shows an example of display processing based on the fifth operation and the sixth operation.

[0130] First, the list information acquisition unit 180 acquires list information (S1501). The operation acquisition unit 130 acquires fifth operation information or sixth operation information for the first index display screen (S1502). The list display generation unit 190 generates list display information in accordance with the fifth operation information or sixth operation information, and the list display output unit 195 outputs the list display information (S1503).

[0131] <Variation 2> Next, a description will be given of a second modification of the display processing system 100. The second modification of the display processing system 100 is similar to the display processing system 100, but further includes a viewing assistance information generation unit 196 and a viewing assistance information output unit 197.

[0132] The viewing assistance information generation unit 196 generates viewing assistance information for displaying a viewing assistance screen on the user device 200 that displays a screen related to various viewing assistance functions in accordance with a user operation (e.g., fifth operation information), and stores the generated viewing assistance information in the memory unit 110.

[0133] The viewing assistance function may be, for example, changing the font size (enlarging or reducing), searching for articles, viewing reference information related to words contained in the article the user is viewing, generating links for sharing articles, saving viewing history, bookmarking, a note function that allows users to enter arbitrary comments, switching or translating the display language, etc.

[0134] The browsing assistance function may be designed to be customizable by the user.

[0135] The viewing assistance information output unit 197 outputs the viewing assistance information generated by the viewing assistance information generation unit 196. The viewing assistance information output unit 197 outputs a viewing assistance screen to the user device 200, for example.

[0136] As an example, a case where the browsing assistance function is to change the character size will be described. For example, the fifth operation is a swipe operation from the center to the upper right, and the sixth operation is a swipe operation from the center to the upper left. In response to acquiring a fifth operation (a swipe operation from the center to the upper right) on the main text display screen by the user, the display processing system 100 displays a screen (one aspect of the viewing assistance screen) in which the display size of the characters on the first main text display screen is enlarged. In addition, in response to acquiring a sixth operation (a swipe operation from the center to the upper left) on the main text display screen by the user, the display processing system 100 displays a screen (one aspect of the viewing assistance screen) in which the display size of the characters on the first main text display screen is reduced.

[0137] As another example, a case where the browsing assistance function is an article search will be described. For example, the fifth operation is a swipe operation from the center to the lower right. The display processing system 100 displays a screen for searching for articles (one aspect of a browsing assistance screen) in response to acquiring a fifth operation (a swipe operation from the center to the lower right) by the user on the headline display screen. On the screen for searching for articles, for example, the user may be able to input a keyword and instruct a search for articles related to the keyword. Based on the content of the instruction, the display processing system 100 may search for multiple articles acquired from the article management system 300 and display the searched articles on the user device 200.

[0138] As another example, a case will be described in which the browsing assistance function is browsing reference information related to words contained in an article that the user is browsing. For example, the fifth operation is a swipe operation from the center to the lower left. In response to acquiring a fifth operation (a swipe operation from the center to the lower left) on the main text display screen by the user, the display processing system 100 displays a screen (one aspect of a viewing assistance screen) for viewing reference information related to words contained in the article the user is viewing. For example, a list of other articles related to words contained in the article the user is viewing may be displayed. For example, information regarding the meanings of words contained in the article the user is viewing may be displayed.

[0139] The viewing assistance functions may be used in combination by assigning operation information for activating each of two or more viewing assistance functions to the corresponding function. For example, a fifth operation on the main text display screen (a swipe operation from the center to the lower right) may activate an article search function. A sixth operation on the main text display screen (a swipe operation from the center to the lower left) may activate viewing of reference information related to words contained in the article the user is viewing. A seventh operation on the main text display screen (a swipe operation from the center to the upper right) may activate a font size enlargement function.
