Method for displaying object in timeline area, object display device, and information recording medium having recorded thereon program for implementing said method
A method for displaying objects on a timeline area does not lower user retention and can increase the CVR. The present disclosure provides a method for displaying objects on a timeline area, including the steps of an object display device that manages a timeline of communication messages for a user of a Web service determining whether the user has taken an action within a predetermined time period on the timeline area of the Web service, displaying a first object on the timeline area when determining that the user has not taken the action, and displaying a second object that differs from the first object on the timeline area when determining that the user has taken the action.
1. A method for displaying an object, comprising:
managing a timeline of a user in a web service;
determining whether a predetermined event has occurred with respect to a first object in a timeline area of the web service; and
in response to determining that the predetermined event has occurred, hiding, for a time period, a second object that is displayed in the timeline area and that is different from the first object, wherein
the first object is a message object;
the predetermined event is the user writing a comment to the message object or the user writing a message, and
the method further comprises:
displaying the first object and the second object in the timeline area;
in response to the user posting the message in the timeline area, hiding the second object for a time period;
moving the first object to fill positions at which the second object was displayed; and
in response to another user posting a message in the timeline area, not hiding the second object.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein
the second object includes at least an application advertising frame or a friend recommendation frame.
3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
querying a server as to whether the predetermined event has occurred.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to the time period having elapsed, causing the second object, which is hidden, to be displayed again.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
while the displaying displays the first object and the second object, moving the first object and the second object in a direction; and
displaying an additional object in the timeline area.
6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
displaying a plurality of message objects in an order based on date and time information related to each message object.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to the time period having elapsed, causing the second object, which is hidden, to be displayed again.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying the first object and the second object in a chronological order;
while the displaying displays the first object and the second object, moving a stream including the first object and the second object; and
displaying an additional object in the timeline area.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to the user having taken an action within a predetermined time period on the timeline area, displaying a first type of object; and
in response to the user not having taken an action within the predetermined time period on the timeline area, displaying a second type of object different from the first type of object.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to a friend user associated with the user not being registered on a server, displaying a registration screen view to register the friend user; and
in response to the friend user being registered on the server, displaying an object different from the registration screen view.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein
the second object includes an application object related to an application, and
the application object indicates information of a friend user who is a friend of the user and uses the application.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein
the second object includes an object that indicates a user who is not registered as a friend of the user.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein
the second object includes an object of advertisement selected based on an attribute of the user.
14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having recorded thereon a program which, when executed by circuitry, causes the circuitry to:
manage a timeline of a user in a web service;
determine whether a predetermined event has occurred with respect to a first object in a timeline area of the web service; and
in response to determining that the predetermined event has occurred, hide, for a time period, a second object that is displayed in the timeline area and different from the first object, wherein
the first object is a message object;
the predetermined event is the user writing a comment to the message object or the user writing a message, and
the program further causes the circuitry to:
display the first object and the second object in the timeline area;
in response to the user posting the message in the timeline area, hide the second object for a time period;
move the first object to fill positions at which the second object was displayed; and
in response to another user posting a message in the timeline area, not hide the second object.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the program further causes the circuitry to:
display the first object and the second object in a chronological order;
while displaying the first object and the second object, move a stream including the first object and the second object; and
display an additional object in the timeline area.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the program further causes the circuitry to:
in response to the user having taken an action within a predetermined time period on the timeline area, display a first type of object; and
in response to the user not having taken an action within the predetermined time period on the timeline area, display a second type of object different from the first type of object.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the program further causes the circuitry to:
in response to a friend user associated with the user not being registered on a server, display a registration screen view to register the friend user; and
in response to the friend user being registered on the server, display an object different from the registration screen view.
18. A device, comprising:
circuitry configured to:
manage a timeline of a user in a web service;
determine whether a predetermined event has occurred with respect to a first object in a timeline area of the web service; and
in response to determining that the predetermined event has occurred, hide, for a time period, a second object that is displayed in the timeline area and different from the first object, wherein
the first object is a message object;
the predetermined event is the user writing a comment to the message object or the user writing a message, and
the circuitry is further configured to:
display the first object and the second object in the timeline area;
in response to the user posting the message in the timeline area, hide the second object for a time period;
move the first object to fill positions at which the second object was displayed; and
in response to another user posting a message in the timeline area, not hide the second object.
