Abstract: An information processing device that acquires data constituting a Web page that is to be provided to a terminal device via a network and is designed for displaying predetermined content information. The information processing device then acquires a script that is programmed to allow reference to correspondence information associating candidate content information that is set beforehand as a candidate for content information to be displayed on the Web page, with variation information specifying variations of at least the display form of an object to be displayed on the Web page. The information processing device incorporates the script into the page data in an executable manner. In response to a request from the terminal device, the information processing device transmits the page data having the script incorporated thereinto, to the terminal device.

Abstract: The present invention includes: acquiring inventory information related to the number of stock of a product, from a product storage means which stores the inventory information and acquiring a product image showing an image related to the product, from a product image storage means which stores the product image (S1), generating a web page for causing the product image which changes in response to the number of stock to be displayed on a terminal device and transmitting the generated web page to the terminal device to display (S3 to S7).

Abstract: When a search keyword is characteristically used in an image, it is detected more easily.

Abstract: The present invention includes acquiring purchase history information related to a product purchased by a user, from a storage means that stores the purchase history information (S2), generating and acquiring an image object indicating a display mode which changes in response to purchase history information (S3), generating a web page which displays the image object, and transmitting the web page to a terminal device through a network and displaying the web page (S5).

Abstract: The present invention includes: acquiring a message related to a web site designated by a first user and link information to a web page of the web site, from a storage means that stores the message and the link information (S2 and S4); causing the message and the link information to be displayed on a user terminal 30 of a second user (S7); and, when the second user selects the web page shown by the link information, performing notification processing of notifying to the first user that the web page is selected (S8, S9 and S11).

Abstract: To direct the user's awareness towards a page linked from a specific element, a script (object control program) is embedded in a Web page to be transmitted from a Web server and then executed by a user terminal. It is assumed that a plurality of link elements (elements to which links to other Web pages are set up) are placed in the Web page. The computer terminal that executes the object control program places objects with a size covering the whole area of each link element in front of several link elements in a Web page containing a plurality of link elements and gradually scales down the displayed size of the objects. The link elements thereby gradually appear on the display.

Abstract: A server system receives a request for a Web page from a user terminal, extracts page data corresponding to the request from a Web DB, and transmits the page data to the user terminal. Further, the server system receives a request related to an object to be placed in a blank area of a Web page from the user terminal, extracts data corresponding to the request from an object DB, and transmits the extracted data or an object generated based on the data to the user terminal. The page data contains an embedded object display program for specifying a blank area of a Web page and placing an object in the blank.

Abstract: An image generation device generates a mosaic image which is suitable for users to see even if sufficient images are not acquired to complete the mosaic image. The image generation device specifies, in units of divided areas, an image area in which an image is drawn in each layer of a plurality of layers divided into the plurality of divided areas, allocates the acquired image to the divided areas in the image area of one of the layers, based on color information of the acquired image and color information of each of the divided areas in the specified image area, and generates a mosaic image by superimposing, between layers, the image allocated in the image area of two or more layers of the plurality of layers in which an image is allocated to at least one of all of the divided areas in the image area of each of the layers and the divided areas of another layer having a display position which overlaps the divided areas.

Abstract: The system for the object control method according to an embodiment is a client/server system with a Web server (10) and a user terminal (20) connected through Internet (30). In the system for the object control method, a script (object control program) is embedded in a Web page to be transmitted from the Web server (10) and executed by the user terminal (20). The Web page contains a plurality of link elements (elements with links to other Web pages). A computer terminal having read the object control program displays a plurality of icons superimposed in front of the link elements in the Web page. Further, when a specified event is detected, (a) change the placement position of a specific icon, (b) temporarily or completely remove a specific icon, or (c) change the placement positions of a plurality of specific icons, for example, according to the event type.

Abstract: A mosaic image which encourages users' motivation of continuously browsing mosaic images is generated. An image generation device which generates a mosaic image using as a source image a material image divided into a plurality of divided areas, has: an acquiring means that acquires an image from a terminal device through a network; and a mosaic image generating means that generates a mosaic image by allocating the image acquired by the acquiring means, to one of the divided areas based on color information of the image acquired by the acquiring means and color information of each of the divided areas of the material image used as the source image. After generating the mosaic image, the mosaic image generating means generates a new mosaic image by changing at least one of a number of the divided areas and the material image in response to an increase in a number of images acquired by the acquiring means.

Abstract: A script (object displacement program) is embedded in a Web page to be transmitted from a Web server 10 and executed by a user terminal 20. The user terminal 20 into which the object displacement program is read displaces a plurality of icons from their initial positions to target positions through a path outside a display area of elements in the Web page, and makes the icons converge on the vicinity of each of the elements in such a way that the icons are distributed to the respective elements in the page in accordance with various access data and statistical data (e.g. the number of page views (PV), click-through rate (CTR), order quantity etc.).
