Display processing device, display information distribution device, and display processing method

Abstract

According to one embodiment, a display processing apparatus includes an obtaining module, a relevance calculator, a display information generator, and a display controller. The obtaining module is configured to obtain particular information items allowed to be created by users, the particular information being obtained for each of a key content item and other content items. The relevance calculator is configured to calculate one or more relevances between the key content item and each of the other content items, based on the particular information items. The display information generator is configured to generate display information items expressing the key content item and the other content items, based on the particular information items or content-attribute information items peculiar to the key content item and the other content items. The display controller is configured to control to display a list information item in which the display information items are located at predetermined positions.

1 . A display processing device comprising:
 an operation receiver configured to receive a selection operation for selecting a key content item to become a search key;   an obtaining module configured to obtain particular information items allowed to be created by users, the particular information being obtained for each of the key content item and other content items;   a relevance calculator configured to calculate one or more relevances between the key content item and each of the other content items, based on the particular information items;   a display information generator configured to generate display information items expressing the key content item and the other content items, based on the particular information items or content-attribute information items peculiar to the key content item and the other content items; and   a display controller configured to control to display a list information item in which the display information items are located at predetermined positions, based on the calculated relevances.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein
 the display controller is configured to control to display the list information item in which the display information items of the other content items are arranged in an order from the highest one of the relevances, in radial directions from a position of the display information item of the key content item. 
 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein
 the display controller is configured to control to display the display information items in relevant ones of regions divided respectively for plural attributes related to calculation of the relevances, about a position of the display information item of the key content item as a center. 
 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein
 the display controller is configured to switch to display only the particular information items or the content-attribute information items, as the display information items. 
 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein
 the display controller is configured to control to display the particular information items for only a selected content item. 
 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein
 the display controller is configured to control to display the particular information items for a selected content item, in a manner of full-screen display. 
 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein
 the display controller is configured to control in a manner that a display region for the list information item in which the display information items are the content-attribute information items and a display region for the particular information items for a selected content item are independent from each other. 
 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein
 the display controller is configured to control in a manner that the particular information items, which include a keyword as a source for calculation of the relevances, are displayed, prioritized among the particular information items, which are related to the other content items. 
 
     
     
         9 . A display information distribution apparatus comprising:
 an operation receiver configured to receive a selection operation for selecting a key content item to become a search key;   an obtaining module configured to obtain particular information items allowed to be created by users, the particular information being obtained for each the key content item and other content items;   a relevance calculator configured to calculate one or more relevances between the key content item and each of the other content items, based on the particular information items;   a display information generator configured to generate display information items expressing the key content item and the other content items, based on the particular information items or content-attribute information items peculiar to the key content item and the other content items; and   a distribution controller configured to distribute a list information item in which the display information items are located at predetermined positions, based on the calculated relevances.   
     
     
         10 . A display processing method comprising:
 receiving a selection operation for selecting a key content item to become a search key;   obtaining particular information items allowed to be created by users, the particular information being obtained for each of the key content item and other content items;   calculating one or more relevances between the key content item and each of the other content items, based on the particular information items;   generating display information items expressing the key content item and the other content items, based on the particular information items or content-attribute information items peculiar to the key content item and the other content items; and   controlling to display a list information item in which the display information items are located at predetermined positions, based on the calculated relevances.
