Abstract

A characteristic content of a Web page is easily extracted from the contents constituting the Web page. A computer is caused to function as an extraction means that extracts a content constituting a designated Web page, a calculation means that calculates the frequency of appearance of each content constituting the designated Web page, and a determination means that determines a characteristic content of the Web page among the contents constituting the designated Web page based on the calculated frequency of appearance.

Claims (42)

1 - 28 . (canceled)

29 . A characteristic content determination device comprising:

an extraction unit that extracts a content constituting a designated Web page;

a calculation unit that calculates the frequency of appearance of each content constituting the designated Web page; and

a determination unit that determines a characteristic content of the Web page among the contents constituting the designated Web page based on the calculated frequency of appearance.

30 . The characteristic content determination device according to claim 29 ,

wherein the determination unit determines that a content with the lowest frequency of appearance among the contents constituting the designated Web page is a characteristic content of the Web page.

31 . The characteristic content determination device according to claim 29 ,

wherein the determination unit determines that a content with the frequency of appearance having a predetermined value or less among the contents constituting the designated Web page is a characteristic content of the Web page.

32 . The characteristic content determination device according to claim 29 ,

wherein the calculation unit calculates the frequency of appearance of each content on multiple Web pages contained in a predetermined site.

33 . The characteristic content determination device according to claim 29 ,

wherein the extraction unit extracts a content constituting a Web page for each predetermined type of Web page contained in the predetermined site and previously stores content information indicating the extracted content in a storage unit, and

the calculation unit calculates the frequency of appearance of each content constituting the designated Web page based on the stored content information.

34 . The characteristic content determination device according to claim 29 ,

wherein the extraction unit extracts a content constituting a Web page in units of content group composed of one or more contents,

the calculation unit calculates the frequency of appearance of a content group constituting the designated Web page, and

the determination unit determines a characteristic content group of the Web page among the content groups constituting the designated Web page.

35 . The characteristic content determination device according to claim 34 ,

wherein the extraction unit extracts a content group based on document data indicating a content described in a predetermined markup language and constituting a Web page.

36 . The characteristic content determination device according to claim 35 ,

wherein the extraction unit defines a content group based on a predetermined tag in the document data indicating the content.

37 . A characteristic content determination method comprising:

an extractions step of extracting a content constituting a designated Web page;

a calculation step of calculating the frequency of appearance of each content constituting the designated Web page; and

a determination step of determining a characteristic content of the Web page among the contents constituting the designated Web page based on the calculated frequency of appearance.

38 . A recording medium computer-readably recording a characteristic content determination program therein,

the program causing a computer to function as:

an extraction unit that extracts a content constituting a designated Web page;

a calculation unit that calculates the frequency of appearance of each content constituting the designated Web page; and

a determination unit that determines a characteristic content of the Web page among the contents constituting the designated Web page based on the calculated frequency of appearance.

39 . The characteristic content determination device according to claim 29 ,

further comprising a generation unit that generates a new content based on a content determined as characteristic by the characteristic content determination device.

40 . The characteristic content determination device according to claim 39 ,

wherein the generation unit adjusts a display size of a content determined as characteristic to be suitable for a preset display size, and generates a new content containing the content with the adjusted display size.

41 . The characteristic content determination device according to claim 39 ,

wherein the generation unit generates a new content by which a content determined as characteristic is subjected to an effect and the content is reproduced.

42 . The characteristic content determination device according to claim 29 ,

further comprising an insertion unit that inserts a related content related to a content determined as characteristic by the characteristic content determination device into the designated Web page.

43 . The characteristic content determination device according to claim 42 ,

wherein when text data on a blog article is contained as a content constituting the designated Web page, the characteristic content determination device determines that the text data is a characteristic content of the Web page, and

the insertion unit extracts a characteristic word of the designated Web page from the text data on the blog article determined as characteristic by the characteristic content determination device, and inserts a related content related to the characteristic word into the Web page.
