  • Information processing device, information processing method, program and storage medium
    Patent number: 10846760
    Abstract: An advertisement delivery system 1 includes an information manager, a timing information retriever, a selection determiner, and a selection handling processor. When switching between images displayed in a partial area on a web page is performed, the information manager keeps information about a pre-switching image even after the switching. The timing information retriever retrieves the timing of the switching and the timing of a selection operation by a user on the area. When the timing information retriever retrieves the timing of the selection operation within a predetermined time length after the switching, the selection determiner makes a determination as to which of the pre-switching image and a post-switching image the selection operation is intended for. Based on the determination, the selection handling processor performs a selection handling process based on information about the pre-switching image or the post-switching image.
