Abstract

To enable dynamic changing of a range of information that forms a basis of a screen provided to a user depending on a change in an environment of an information processing terminal, an environmental information acquisition unit sequentially acquires environmental information representing an environment of a user terminal. A monitoring unit changes a publicly-displayable range of information on a user of the user terminal depending on a change in the environmental information sequentially acquired by the environmental information acquisition unit. A page changing unit limits the range of the information that forms the basis of the screen provided to the user so that the range of the information falls within the publicly-displayable range after the change.

Claims (55)

1. An information processing terminal, comprising:

a display;

a camera taking an image near the information processing terminal;

a central processing unit; and

a memory storing programming information causing the central processing unit to be configured to:

sequentially acquire the image near the information processing terminal taken by the camera;

analyze the image;

estimate a number of people who are present near the information processing terminal based on a result of analyzing the image; and

when it is detected that the estimated number of people who are present near the information processing terminal is changed from less than a predetermined number to the predetermined number or more:

determine a secrecy level based on the estimated number of people who are present near the information processing terminal which is the predetermined number or more;

determine first information elements for limitation based on the determined secrecy level among second information elements each of which is associated with a particular secrecy level; and

change a content of a first web page, which displays a first content and which is displayed on the display and which is based on all of the second information elements, to that of a second web page, which displays a second content and which is based on the second information elements except the first information elements for limitation,

wherein changing content of a first web page with the first content to a second web page with the second content includes:

adding the second content to the second web page that was not displayed on the first web page, and

ceasing to display the first content from the first web page on the second web page;

wherein the first content is tailored to a first user's purchase history or access history, and

wherein the added second content to the second web page is content that is irrespective of the first user's purchase history or access history.

2. The information processing terminal according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive the second information from a web server in advance.

3. The information processing terminal according to claim 1 , the first web page is a first shopping web page which displays recommended items which is based on access history data and purchase history data, and

the second web page is a second shopping web page which displays recommended items which is not based on the access history data and the purchase history data.

4. The information processing terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the second content of the second web page is a best-selling item group or best-selling service group.

5. The information processing terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the first content of the first web page includes recommended items, and the second content of the second web page includes recommended items.

6. An information processing method, executed using a central processing unit and a memory, comprising:

sequentially acquiring an image near an information processing terminal taken by a camera included in the information processing terminal;

analyzing the image;

estimating a number of people who are present near the information processing terminal based on a result of analyzing the image; and

when it is detected that the estimated number of people who are present near the information processing terminal is changed from less than a predetermined number to the predetermined number or more:

determining a secrecy level based on the estimated number of people who are present near the information processing terminal which is the predetermined number or more;

determining first information elements for limitation based on the determined secrecy level among second information elements each of which is associated with a particular secrecy level; and

changing a content of a first web page, which displays a first content and which is displayed on the display and which is based on all of the second information elements, to that of a second web page, which displays a second content and which is based on the second information elements except the first information elements for limitation,

wherein changing content of a first web page with the first content to a second web page with the second content includes:

adding the second content to the second web page that was not displayed on the first web page, and

ceasing to display the first content from the first web page on the second web page;

wherein the first content is tailored to a first user's purchase history or access history, and

wherein the added second content to the second web page is content that is irrespective of the first user's purchase history or access history.

7. An information processing system, comprising:

an information processing terminal comprising:

a display; and

a camera taking an image near the information processing terminal, and a server comprising:

a central processing unit; and

a memory storing programming information causing the central processing unit to be configured to:

sequentially acquire the image near the information processing terminal taken by the camera;

analyze the image;

estimate a number of people who are present near the information processing terminal based on a result of analyzing the image; and

when it is detected that the estimated number of people who are present near the information processing terminal is changed from less than a predetermined number to the predetermined number or more:

determine a secrecy level based on the estimated number of people who are present near the information processing terminal which is the predetermined number or more;

determine first information elements for limitation based on the determined secrecy level among second information elements each of which is associated with a particular secrecy level; and

change a content of a first web page, which displays a first content and which is displayed on the display and which is based on all of the second information elements, to that of a second web page, which displays a second content and which is based on the second information elements except the first information elements for limitation,

wherein changing content of a first web page with the first content to a second web page with the second content includes:

adding the second content to the second web page that was not displayed on the first web page, and

ceasing to display the first content from the first web page on the second web page;

wherein the first content is tailored to a first user's purchase history or access history, and

wherein the added second content to the second web page is content that is irrespective of the first user's purchase history or access history.
