[0009] (1. Overall structure) As shown in FIG. 1, a management device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is communicably connected to a plurality of terminal devices 200 via a computer communication network 300 such as the Internet.

[0010] The management device 100 is a device that manages content pages, presents a list of multiple content pages stored on the device, and enables editing and publishing settings for a content page selected from the list. For example, a content page is a page that is published in an online market to users of the online market, and the management device 100 is a server that manages the pages published in the online market. Pages published in the online market are, for example, pages that convey information about products or sellers, such as event information, sales, and product features.

[0011] The terminal device 200 is a device used by a creator who creates a content page. For example, the creator of the content page is a seller who sells products on an online market, and the terminal device 200 is a device used by the seller. The terminal device 200 is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet computer, or the like.

[0012] For example, in response to a request from a terminal device 200 used by a seller, the management device 100 presents a list of multiple content pages created by the seller, edits the content pages, and sets the time when the content pages will be made public on the online market.

[0013] (2. Hardware configuration of management device) FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the management device 100. As shown in FIG.

[0014] 2, the management device 100 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 11, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 12, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 13, a recording medium 14, an output device 15, a communication device 16, and an input device 17. The components are connected by a bus 18.

[0015] The CPU 11 controls the overall operation of the management device 100, and is connected to each component to exchange control signals and data.

[0016] The ROM 12 stores operating programs and various data necessary for controlling the overall operation of the management device 100.

[0017] The RAM 13 is used to temporarily store data and programs, and stores programs and data read from the recording medium 14, as well as other data necessary for communication.

[0018] The recording medium 14 is composed of a hard disk, a flash memory, or the like, and records data to be processed by the management device 100.

[0019] The output device 15 includes a display device such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) and an audio output device such as a speaker. The output device 15 outputs, for example, data output from the CPU 11 under the control of the CPU 11.

[0020] The communication device 16 includes a communication interface for connecting the management device 100 to a computer communication network such as the Internet, and communicates with other information processing devices and the like via the communication device 16 .

[0021] The input device 17 includes input devices such as buttons, a keyboard, a touch panel, a microphone, etc. The input device 17 receives an operation input from a user of the management device 100 and outputs a signal corresponding to the received operation input to the CPU 11.

[0022] (3. Functional Configuration of the Management Device of the First Embodiment) The functional configuration of the management device 100 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0023] The management device 100 functionally comprises an extraction unit 101, a determination unit 102, a presentation unit 103, a first registration unit 104, and a second registration unit 105. In this embodiment, the CPU 11 functions as the extraction unit 101, the first registration unit 104, and the second registration unit 105, and the CPU 11 and the communication device 16 function as the determination unit 102 and the presentation unit 103.

[0024] FIG. 4 shows an example of a content page managed by management device 100. Content page 400 in FIG. 4 is a special page created by seller V1 to feature products on sale for Christmas. Content page 400 includes a page title image 401 indicating that the content page is about a Christmas special; product images 402 and 403 of the products on sale; product information 404 and 405 including specifications and sales information for the products on sale; coupon information 406 for coupons that can be applied when purchasing the products on sale; link information 407 indicating external links related to the products on sale; and text information 408 explaining the Christmas special. The page title image 401, product images 402 and 403, product information 404 and 405, coupon information 406, link information 407, and text information 408 included in the content page are called parts. Management device 100 provides a function for easily creating a content page by allowing a user to select from a list of multiple types of parts via a GUI operation. The images, products, coupons, etc. designated as parts can be selected from those registered in advance by the creator of the content page or the user of the management device 100. Furthermore, the links, text, etc. designated as parts can be input by the creator of the content page. For example, seller V1 can select an image part object from a parts list, place it on the content page, and specify an image registered in advance by seller V1 for the placed image part object, thereby placing a desired image on the content page. Furthermore, seller V1 can select a text part object from a parts list, place it on the content page, and enter text into the placed text part object, thereby placing desired text on the content page. Furthermore, the management device 100 provides a function for a creator to manage multiple content pages created by the creator.

[0025] FIG. 5 shows an example of a management screen for a creator to manage content pages. The content page management screen 500 in FIG. 5 is the management screen presented to seller V1. In the following description, the current date and time is assumed to be "December 10, 2024, 6:00 PM." The management screen 500 includes a list 501 of multiple content pages created by seller V1 and a link 502 for creating a new content page. The list 501 includes, in association with each other, a page title field for the content page, an edit field for the content page, a URL access field indicating whether the content page is currently viewable, fields for the update date and publication date and time of the content page, and an item for deleting the content page. Each field in the page title field includes marks 503 to 506 indicating whether the content page contains an error and whether the content page is about to be published. The edit field also includes an edit button 507 and a publish settings button 508. Selecting the edit button 507 transitions to a page for editing the content page. Furthermore, selecting the publication setting button 508 takes you to a page for setting whether or not to make the content page viewable, and for setting the publication date and time when the content page will be published on the online market. Furthermore, selecting a link 509 included in the deletion item causes the content page associated with the selected link 509 to be deleted from the list 501.

[0026] For example, the record on the first line of list 501 is a record indicating content page 400 in Figure 4, and indicates that the content page with the page title "Christmas Special A" is currently set to "unavailable," was updated on November 30, 2023 at 17:00, and was previously published on December 1, 2023 at 10:00. Also, the record on the second line of list 501 indicates that the content page with the page title "Christmas Special" is set to "unavailable," was updated on December 1, 2024 at 18:50, and has not yet been published.

[0027] The extraction unit 101 extracts, from a plurality of content pages, content pages that are estimated to be soon to be published based on a predetermined criterion. The extraction unit 101 executes the extraction process when it receives a request from the terminal device 200 to display a page management screen (a screen for presenting a list of a plurality of content pages). The extraction unit 101 estimates whether or not a content page that is not currently published but may be published in the future will be soon to be published, and excludes content pages that have already been published and are currently viewable from the extraction. For example, the content page with the page title "Year-end Gifts" shown in the record on the fourth line of the list 501 has already been published and is currently viewable, and therefore is not subject to extraction. On the other hand, the content page with the page title "Valentine's Special" shown in the record on the third line of the list 501 has already been published but is currently not viewable, and therefore is subject to extraction.

[0028] For example, the predetermined criterion is a criterion (hereinafter referred to as the "first predetermined criterion") that estimates that a content page will soon be released if the difference between the edit date and time of the content page and the current date and time is equal to or less than a first predetermined period. The first predetermined criterion is a criterion for estimating that a content page that has been edited recently will soon be released. The first predetermined period can be arbitrarily set by the user of the management device 100 or the creator of the content page. In the following, the first predetermined period is assumed to be "two weeks." Furthermore, in the following, the update date and time of the content page is considered to be the edit date and time.

[0029] For example, if the difference between the update date and time of multiple content pages included in list 501 and the current date and time, "December 10, 2024, 18:00," is two weeks or less, extraction unit 101 estimates that the release of that content page is imminent. For example, since the difference between the update date and time of the "Christmas Special B" content page, "December 1, 2024, 18:50," and the current date and time, "December 10, 2024, 18:00," is two weeks or less, extraction unit 101 extracts the "Christmas Special B" content page.

[0030] Alternatively, the predetermined criterion is a criterion (hereinafter referred to as the "second predetermined criterion") that estimates that a content page is about to be published if the editing date and time when the content page was edited or the publishing date and time when the content page was published is the same as the current date and time in a predetermined cycle. The second predetermined criterion is a criterion for estimating that a content page that was edited or published at the same time as the current date and time in a predetermined cycle is about to be published. The second predetermined criterion is a criterion that takes into account the fact that content pages that were edited or published in the past are reused and published at the same time.

[0031] The predetermined cycle is, for example, a cycle of "one year" or "one month." The same period in the predetermined cycle means, for example, if the predetermined cycle is "one year," the edit date / time or publication date / time and the current date / time are in the "same month," and if the predetermined cycle is "one month," the edit date / time or publication date / time and the current date / time are in the "first week" of the month. In the following, the predetermined cycle is assumed to be "one year."

[0032] For example, if the update date / time or publication date / time of multiple content pages included in list 501 and the current date / time, "December 10, 2024, 18:00," fall in the same month, extraction unit 101 estimates that the publication of that content page is imminent. For example, the publication date / time of the "Christmas Special A" content page, "December 1, 2023, 10:00," and the update date / time of the "Christmas Special B" content page, "December 1, 2024, 18:50," fall in the same "December" as the current date / time, "December 10, 2024, 18:00," so extraction unit 101 extracts the "Christmas Special A" content page and the "Christmas Special B" content page.

[0033] Alternatively, the predetermined criterion is a criterion (hereinafter referred to as the "third predetermined criterion") for estimating that the release of a content page is imminent if the timing of an event included in the name given to the content page falls within a second predetermined period after the current date and time. The third predetermined criterion is a criterion for estimating that the release of a content page is imminent if the timing of an event included in the name given to the content page falls within a period close to the current date and time. The second predetermined period can be set arbitrarily by the user of the management device 100 or the creator of the content page. In the following, the second predetermined period is assumed to be "three weeks."

[0034] For example, if the timing of an event included in the page title of multiple content pages included in list 501 is within "three weeks" from the current date and time "December 10, 2024, 18:00", extraction unit 101 estimates that the release of that content page is imminent. For example, the event "Christmas" included in page titles "Christmas Special A" and "Christmas Special B" is within "three weeks" from the current date and time "December 10, 2024, 18:00", so extraction unit 101 extracts the content page for "Christmas Special A" and the content page for "Christmas Special B".

[0035] Alternatively, the predetermined criterion is a criterion (hereinafter referred to as the "fourth predetermined criterion") for estimating that the release of a content page is imminent if the release date and time registered in association with the content page is within a third predetermined period from the current date and time. The release date and time are estimated by the first registration unit 104 and registered in association with the content page. The fourth predetermined criterion is a criterion for estimating that the release of a content page is imminent if the release date and time estimated when the content page was edited or saved is close. The third predetermined period can be set arbitrarily by the user of the management device 100 or the creator of the content page. In the following, the third predetermined period is assumed to be "one week."

[0036] The first registration unit 104 estimates the release date of the content page while editing the content page or when saving the content page, and registers the content page in association with the estimated release date. Specifically, the first registration unit 104 stores estimated release date information in which the content page is associated with the estimated release date in the recording medium 14.

[0037] For example, when seller V1 is editing a content page, the first registration unit 104 estimates the release date of the content page being edited. Alternatively, when seller V1 saves the content page, the first registration unit 104 estimates the release date of the saved content page. The first registration unit 104 performs the estimation using, for example, an AI that has been trained to estimate the release date from the content of a content page. For example, if seller V1 estimates the release date to be "December 10, 2024, 0:00" while editing content page 400 for "Christmas Special A," the first registration unit 104 associates the estimated release date, "December 10, 2024, 0:00," with content page 400 for "Christmas Special A," and stores the estimated release date information on the recording medium 14.

[0038] For example, the extraction unit 101 references the estimated release time information and estimates that the release of a content page is imminent if the release times registered in association with multiple content pages included in list 501 are within "one week" from the current date and time, "December 10, 2024, 18:00." For example, the release time, "December 10, 2024, 0:00," associated with the "Christmas Special A" content page is within "one week" from the current date and time, "December 10, 2024, 18:00," so the extraction unit 101 extracts the "Christmas Special A" content page.

[0039] The predetermined criterion used by the extraction unit 101 for the estimation can be appropriately specified by the user of the management device 100 or the creator of the content page. Furthermore, multiple predetermined criteria may be adopted at the same time. In the following, it is assumed that a second predetermined criterion is specified as the predetermined criterion by the seller V1, and the extraction unit 101 extracts the content page for "Christmas Special A" and the content page for "Christmas Special B," which are estimated to be soon to be released based on the second predetermined criterion, but does not extract the content page for "Valentine's Special" and the content page for "Year-end Gifts."

[0040] The determination unit 102 determines whether or not the extracted content page contains an error. Specifically, the determination unit 102 attempts to acquire the content included in the extracted content page, and if the content cannot be acquired, determines that the extracted content page contains an error.

[0041] The content included in a content page is, for example, a part included in the content page.

[0042] For example, the determination unit 102 attempts to acquire each part of the content page 400 in FIG. 4 . For example, in the case of an image part, the determination unit 102 attempts to acquire the specified image from a location stored in the management device 100. Alternatively, in the case of a link part, the management device 100 attempts to access the URL indicated by the link. For example, the page title image 401 may have been deleted from a location previously registered and stored by the seller V1. Furthermore, the product images 402 and 403 and the product information 404 and 405 may have been deleted from a location previously registered and stored by the seller V1 due to reasons such as the product being discontinued. Furthermore, the coupon information 406 may be unavailable due to an expired coupon. Furthermore, the link information 407 may be unavailable due to a broken link. If the determination unit 102 determines that there is a part for which the specified information cannot be acquired, the determination unit 102 determines that the content page contains an error. For example, if the determination unit 102 cannot acquire the product image 402, the determination unit 102 determines that the content page 400 contains an error.

[0043] Furthermore, even if the content is successfully acquired, there are cases where the acquired content is different from the content specified by the creator of the content page when the content page was saved due to, for example, replacing the registered content. In this way, the determination unit 102 also determines that there is an error in the content page when the content included in the content page at the time of saving differs from the current content. The determination unit 102 determines whether the content specified by the creator of the content page was successfully acquired by comparing a pre-registered image with the image of the content currently acquired, as shown below.

[0044] First, when saving a content page, second registration unit 105 acquires a first image representing the content included in the content page to be saved, and registers the acquired first image in association with the content page to be saved. Specifically, second registration unit 105 stores first image information in which the content page and the first image are associated with each other in recording medium 14.

[0045] The first image represents the state of the content included in the content page to be saved, that is, the state of the content specified by the creator included in the content page that was saved without any errors in the past.

[0046] Here, the first image represents the appearance of the content included in the content page to be saved by a thumbnail image obtained by reducing the image of the content included in the content page to be saved.

[0047] For example, the first image is thumbnail images 401' to 408' that are reduced images of the page title image 401, product images 402, 403, product information 404, 405, coupon information 406, link information 407, and text information 408 contained in the content page 400 of "Christmas Special A," which was updated at the update date and time "November 30, 2023, 5:00 PM."

[0048] For example, when content page 400 for "Christmas Special A," which was updated at the update date and time "17:00, November 30, 2023," is saved, second registration unit 105 acquires page title image 401, product images 402, 403, product information 404, 405, coupon information 406, link information 407, and thumbnail images 401' to 408' of text information 408, associates them with content page 400 for "Christmas Special A," and stores them as first image information on recording medium 14. The first image information includes thumbnail images of content images included in multiple content pages managed by management device 100.

[0049] The determination unit 102 obtains a second image representing the state of the content obtained for the extracted content page, and if the first image registered in association with the extracted content page and the obtained second image are not similar, the determination unit 102 determines that the extracted content page contains an error.

[0050] The second image represents the appearance of the content included in the extracted content page, that is, the appearance of the content acquired for the current content page.

[0051] Here, the second image represents the appearance of the content acquired for the extracted content page using a thumbnail image obtained by reducing the image of the content acquired for the extracted content page.

[0052] For example, the second image is thumbnail images 401' to 408' that are reduced images of the page title image 401, product images 402, 403, product information 404, 405, coupon information 406, link information 407, and text information 408 contained in the content page 400 for "Christmas Special A" at the current date and time "December 10, 2024, 18:00."

[0053] For example, the determination unit 102 determines whether the first image and the second image are similar using existing image recognition technology. The determination unit 102 compares each of the thumbnail images 401' to 408' associated with the content page 400 updated at "November 30, 2023, 5:00 PM" with the thumbnail images 401' to 408' acquired for the content page 400 at the current date and time "December 10, 2024, 6:00 PM." If the determination unit 102 determines that either of the images is not similar, it determines that the content page 400 at the current date and time "December 10, 2024, 6:00 PM" contains an error. For example, if the thumbnail image 402' of the content page 400 with the update date and time "November 30, 2023, 17:00" is not similar to the thumbnail image 402' of the content page 400 with the current date and time "December 10, 2024, 18:00", the determination unit 102 determines that the content page 400 contains an error.

[0054] If the determining unit 102 determines that the extracted content page contains an error, it invalidates the public setting of the content page determined to contain an error.

[0055] For example, the determining unit 102 sets the content page with the page title "Christmas Special A" that is determined to contain an error so that it cannot be made public.

[0056] The presenting unit 103 presents the content pages determined to contain errors in a list in a first manner.

[0057] The first mode is a mode in which the list indicates that a content page has been determined to contain an error. Below, this is indicated by adding a red mark to the page title column.

[0058] 5, the presentation unit 103 presents a list 501 with a red mark 503 in the page title column of the content page of "Christmas Special A" that has been determined to contain an error. This allows the seller V1 viewing the management screen 500 to easily recognize that the content page of "Christmas Special A" contains an error.

[0059] The presenting unit 103 presents the content pages that are determined to contain no errors in the list in the second format.

[0060] The second mode is a mode in which the list indicates that the content page has been determined to contain no errors. In the following, this is indicated by adding a green mark to the page title column.

[0061] For example, if the determination unit 102 determines that the content page for "Christmas Special B" does not contain any errors, the presentation unit 103 presents the content page for "Christmas Special B" in the list 501 with a green mark 504 in the page title column, as shown in Fig. 5. This allows the seller V1 viewing the management screen 500 to easily recognize that the content page for "Christmas Special B" does not contain any errors.

[0062] The presenting unit 103 presents the content pages that have not been extracted by the extracting unit 101 in a list in a third manner.

[0063] The third mode is a mode in which a content page has not been extracted by the extraction unit 101 in the list, i.e., it is not estimated that the page will be released soon, and it has not been determined whether it contains an error.In the following, a yellow mark is placed in the page title column to indicate that the page is not estimated that the page will be released soon, and it has not been determined whether it contains an error.

[0064] 5, the presentation unit 103 presents the list 501 with yellow marks 505, 506 in the page title columns of the "Valentine's Special" content page and the "Year-End Gift" content page that were not extracted by the extraction unit 101. This allows the seller V1 viewing the management screen 500 to easily recognize that the "Valentine's Special" content page and the "Year-End Gift" content page are not expected to be released soon, and it has not been determined whether or not they contain errors.

[0065] (4. Management Process by Management Device of the Embodiment) The management process executed by the management device 100 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 6. For example, when the management device 100 receives a request to display a management screen for a content page from the terminal device 200, the management device 100 starts the management process shown in Fig. 6. In the following, it is assumed that a request to display a management screen for a content page is received from the terminal device 200 of seller V1.

[0066] The extraction unit 101 extracts, from a plurality of content pages, content pages that are estimated to be soon to be made public based on a predetermined criterion (step S101).

[0067] For example, the extraction unit 101 extracts the content page for "Christmas Special A" and the content page for "Christmas Special B" from the four content pages created by seller V1 based on a second predetermined criterion that assumes that the content page will be released soon if the edit date and time or publication date and time of the content page and the current date and time "December 10, 2024, 18:00" are at the same time ("same month") within a predetermined cycle ("one year").

[0068] The determination unit 102 attempts to acquire the content included in the extracted content page (step S102).

[0069] For example, the determination unit 102 attempts to acquire information on each part included in the content page 400 for "Christmas Special A." The determination unit 102 also attempts to acquire information on each part included in the content page for "Christmas Special B."

[0070] The determining unit 102 determines whether or not the content page contains an error (step S103).

[0071] For example, if the determination unit 102 determines that there is a part for which specified information cannot be acquired in the current content page 400 of "Christmas Special A," the determination unit 102 determines that the content page 400 of "Christmas Special A" contains an error. Alternatively, the determination unit 102 compares thumbnail images 401'-408' associated with the content page 400 of "Christmas Special A" updated at "November 30, 2023, 5:00 PM" with thumbnail images 401'-408' acquired for the content page 400 at the current date and time "December 10, 2024, 6:00 PM," and if it determines that either of the images is not similar, the determination unit 102 determines that the content page 400 at the current date and time "December 10, 2024, 6:00 PM" contains an error. In the following, it is assumed that the content page of "Christmas Special A" is determined to contain an error, and the content page of "Christmas Special B" is determined not to contain an error.

[0072] If the determining unit 102 determines that the extracted content page contains an error, it invalidates the public setting of the content page determined to contain an error (step S104).

[0073] For example, the determining unit 102 sets the content page with the page title "Christmas Special A" that is determined to contain an error so that it cannot be made public.

[0074] The presenting unit 103 presents the content pages in a list in the first, second or third manner based on the result determined by the determining unit 102 and the result extracted by the extracting unit 101 (step S105).

[0075] For example, as shown in Figure 5, the presentation unit 103 presents the list 501 with a red mark 503 in the page title column of the content page of ``Christmas Special A'' that is determined to contain an error, with a green mark 504 in the page title column of the content page of ``Christmas Special B,'' and with yellow marks 505 and 506 in the page title columns of the content page of ``Valentine's Special'' and ``Year-end Gifts'' that were not extracted by the extraction unit 101.

[0076] According to this embodiment, whether a content page that is estimated to be soon to be published contains an error is indicated by presenting the content page in a different format in the list. This allows the creator of the content page to easily check whether the content page to be published contains an error. Furthermore, by presenting the content page in a different format in the list, it is indicated that the content page is not estimated to be soon to be published and whether it contains an error has not been determined. This allows the creator of the content page to easily check that, although publication is not soon to be published, attention should be paid to the possibility that the content page may contain an error. Furthermore, according to this embodiment, rather than determining whether all content pages managed by the management device 100 contain errors, the management device 100 determines whether only content pages that are estimated to be soon to be published contain errors, thereby reducing the computational load.

[0077] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, whether a content page will soon be released is determined based on the difference between the edit date and time and the current date and time. As a result, it can be estimated that a content page that was edited recently will soon be released. Furthermore, according to this embodiment, whether a content page will soon be released is determined based on whether the edit date and time or the release date and time and the current date and time are the same as the current date and time within a predetermined cycle, such as one year or one month. As a result, it can be estimated that a content page that was edited or released in the past around the same time as the current date and time will soon be released. Furthermore, according to this embodiment, whether a content page will soon be released is determined based on the time of an event included in the name of the content page and the current date and time. As a result, if the time of an event included in the name of the content page is close to the current date and time, it can be estimated that the content page will soon be released. Furthermore, according to this embodiment, whether a content page will soon be released is determined based on the release date and time estimated during editing or saving of the content page and the current date and time. As a result, it is possible to estimate the release date and time with high accuracy, for example, by using AI technology.

[0078] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, if content cannot be acquired for a content page that is estimated to be about to be released, it is determined that the content page that is estimated to be about to be released contains an error, which allows the content creator to check the list to see that the content included in the content page cannot be acquired.

[0079] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, whether or not the content contains an error is determined by comparing an image representing the content included in the content page at the time of saving with an image representing the content included in the content page currently acquired. As a result, if the appearance of the content at the time of saving differs from the appearance of the content at the current time, it can be determined that the content page contains an error, and the content creator can check the list to see that the content included in the content page may have changed since saving.

[0080] (6. Modifications) Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, various modifications and applications are possible in carrying out the present invention.

[0081] In the above embodiment, the management device 100 attempts to acquire the content included in the content page, and determines whether the content page contains an error based on whether the content acquisition was successful and whether an image showing the content at the time of saving is similar to an image showing the content at the current time, but this is not limiting. The management device 100 may also determine whether the content page contains an error based on whether an image showing the overall appearance of the content page at the time of saving is similar to an image showing the overall appearance of the content page at the current time.

[0082] 7 shows the functional configuration of a management device 100 that determines whether an error is included based on an image showing the entire content page. Functionally, the management device 100 includes an extraction unit 101, a determination unit 102, a presentation unit 103, a first registration unit 104, and a third registration unit 106. The management device 100 in FIG. 7 includes the third registration unit 106 instead of the second registration unit 105 in FIG. 3. Functions that differ from the above embodiment will be described below.

[0083] When a content page is saved, the third registration unit 106 acquires a third image that represents the overall appearance of the content page to be saved when acquired and displayed by a browser, and registers the acquired third image in association with the content page to be saved. Specifically, the third registration unit 106 stores third image information that associates the content page with the third image in the recording medium 14.

[0084] The third image shows the overall appearance of the content page to be saved when acquired and displayed by a browser, that is, the overall appearance of the content page without any errors when saved in the past.

[0085] Here, the third image is a thumbnail image that is a reduced version of the entire image of the content page to be saved that is acquired and displayed by the browser, and represents the entire appearance of the content page to be saved that is acquired and displayed by the browser.

[0086] For example, the third image is a thumbnail image 400' that is a reduced version of the entire image displayed by the browser when the content page 400 for "Christmas Special A," which was updated at the update date and time "November 30, 2023, 5:00 PM," is retrieved.

[0087] For example, the third registration unit 106 acquires the thumbnail image 400' at the timing when the content page 400 for "Christmas Special A," which was updated at the update date and time "November 30, 2023, 5:00 PM," is saved, associates it with the content page 400 for "Christmas Special A," and stores it as third image information on the recording medium 14. The third image information includes a thumbnail image of the entire image of the multiple content pages managed by the management device 100 that are acquired and displayed by the browser.

[0088] The determination unit 102 obtains a fourth image showing the overall appearance of the extracted content page when it is obtained and displayed by a browser, and if the obtained fourth image is not similar to the third image registered in association with the extracted content page, it determines that the extracted content page contains an error.

[0089] The fourth image shows the entire extracted content page when it is acquired and displayed by a browser, that is, it shows the entire content page at the current time.

[0090] Here, the fourth image is a thumbnail image that is a reduced version of the entire image of the extracted content page obtained and displayed by the browser, and represents the entire appearance of the extracted content page obtained and displayed by the browser.

[0091] For example, the fourth image is a thumbnail image 400' obtained by reducing the entire image of the content page 400 for "Christmas Special A" at the current date and time "December 10, 2024, 18:00."

[0092] For example, the determination unit 102 compares the thumbnail image 400' associated with the content page 400 updated at "17:00, Nov. 30, 2023" with the thumbnail image 400' acquired for the content page 400 at the current date and time "18:00, Dec. 10, 2024." If the determination unit 102 performs image recognition and determines that the images are not similar, it determines that the content page 400 at the current date and time "18:00, Dec. 10, 2024" contains an error.

[0093] If the content included in the content page cannot be retrieved, or if the retrieved content looks different from the content when it was saved, the thumbnail image of the entire image will not resemble the original. Therefore, this configuration makes it easy to determine whether the content page contains an error.

[0094] In the above embodiment and modified examples, the management device 100 includes the first registration unit 104, but this is not limited to this. When the fourth predetermined criterion is not adopted as the predetermined criterion used for estimation, the first registration unit 104 can be omitted.

[0095] In the above embodiment, the management process executed by the management device 100 is shown in Fig. 6, but the order of the steps is not limited to this. For example, the order of the process of step S104 and the process of step S105 may be reversed.

[0096] In addition, by applying an operating program that defines the operation of the management device 100 according to the above embodiment to an existing personal computer or information terminal device, it is also possible to make the personal computer or information terminal device function as the management device 100 according to the embodiment.
