Is a contract with the provider company 16 and the network server 1
3 establishes its own homepage 17 and sets the above-mentioned address data in the homepage 17.

In this state, the homepage 17 of the general user 15 is opened on the Internet 14 by the network server 13 of the provider company 16.
Homepage 17 can be browsed.

When the third party browsing the home page 17 selects the address data portion, the address data is transferred from the network server 13 of the provider company 16 to the service server 21 of the service company 18 as shown in FIG. Data is transmitted (step T1).

Then, the service server 21 reads out the page data corresponding to the address data (step T2), and transmits the page data to a third party via the network server 13 (step T3). Therefore, the page data is transmitted to the third party who browses the home page 17 from the Internet 14, and the third party browses the page data as the home page 17.

In the data service method of the present invention, as described above, various page material data and template data are prepared in the host processor 11 of the service company 18 in advance, and these are transmitted from the Internet 14 to the general user 15. The data is provided to the user terminal device 12. Therefore, there is no need for the general user 15 to prepare an application program for generating data of the homepage 17,
There is no need to prepare various page material data used for the homepage 17.

Further, if the general user 15 inputs the edit data to the input items of the template data by the user terminal device 12, the page data of the home page 17 is generated by the host processor 11, and the page data is generated by the host processor 11. Is returned to the user terminal device 12 in real time, and is confirmed by the general user 15.

Therefore, the general user 15 can confirm in real time whether or not the home page 17 has been formed into a desired image, and can execute the correction immediately, unlike the case where the data generation is requested from the agency. A desired homepage 17 can be easily and reliably formed.

In general, the data generation of the homepage 17 which frequently uses images and sounds has an excessive processing load, but this data processing is executed not by the user terminal device 12 of the general user 15 but by the host processor 11 of the service company 18. Therefore, even the general user 15 of the weak user terminal device 12 can generate data of the homepage 17 that makes heavy use of images and sounds.

In particular, the host processor 11 is the order server 19
, An editing system 20, and a service server 21, the order receiving server 19 is responsible for data communication with the general user 15, the editing system 20 is responsible for generating page data, and the service server 21 is responsible for supplying page data. Further, the processing load on the host processor 11 is reduced.

In the data service method in the data processing system 10 according to the present embodiment, as described above, the host processor 11 of the service company 18
Of the homepage 17 and the data supply are executed, but the establishment of the homepage 17 is executed by the network server 13 of the provider company 16.

Therefore, the service company 18 can manage the page data of the home page 17 in real time, and can execute various data services on the page data in real time.

For example, as a part of the page material data provided from the service company 18 to the general user 15, page material data whose provided content changes to predetermined content at a predetermined timing is prepared in advance, and the provided content is prepared. It is also possible for the service server 21 to change in real time.

For example, as described above, the service company 18 prepares page material data in which the provided contents such as “Good morning”, “Hello” and “Konbanwa” change according to the current time, and the general user 15 17
When the third party views the home page 17 of the network server 13, the service server 21 provides page data of the provided content corresponding to the time in real time.

In this case, the network server 13 of the provider company 16 does not need to execute a specific processing operation to change the provided contents of the homepage 17, and the general user 15 also needs to appropriately change the provided contents of the homepage 17. Instead, the service server 21 can change the provided contents of the homepage 17 established on the network server 13 in real time.

It is not impossible to repeatedly change the provided contents of the home page 17 to the predetermined contents at a predetermined timing as described above, but it is not easy for the general user 15 to generate data of such a home page 17. . However, in the present embodiment, as described above, the page content data is provided to the general user 15 from the service company 18 by the template data in the predetermined content at the predetermined timing as described above.
Only after the selection by the user 5, the service server 21 changes the provided content of the homepage 17 to the predetermined content at a predetermined timing.

Also, the general user 1 from the service company 18
It is also possible to prepare in advance, as a part of the page material data provided in 5, the page material data in which the provided content changes to any content at an arbitrary timing, and change the provided content in real time by the service server 21. It is.

For example, in the case of “Today's weather”, the change timing can be predicted in advance, but the content to be provided cannot be predicted in advance.
7, the service server 21 can provide page data in real time.

Also in this case, the network server 13 of the provider company 16 does not need to execute a specific processing operation to change the provided contents of the home page 17, and the general user 15 needs to appropriately change the provided contents of the home page 17. In addition, the service server 21 can change the provided contents of the homepage 17 established on the network server 13 in real time.

Further, as part of the page material data provided from the service company 18 to the general user 15, advertisement data of the sponsoring company can be prepared.
