Method and system for registering link information to content

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer readable instructions which, when executed by a computer system, cause the computer system to perform a method, the method comprising:

• receiving a first instance of content from a content creator terminal, the first instance of content being associated with a right, the right indicating that registration of link information specifically to the first instance of content is enabled, the registration of link information to the first instance of content including associating the first instance of content with an external network page associated with the link information;
• selectively registering a particular instance of link information specifically to the first instance of content based on the right indicating that registration of link information specifically to the first instance of content is enabled and receipt of a request to register the particular instance of link information to the first instance of content, the particular instance of link information being associated with a particular external network page, to associate the first instance of content with the particular external network page;
• transmitting the first instance of content to which the particular instance of link information is registered to a user terminal, a link registration service system causing the user terminal to display the first instance of content on a common display interface together with another instance of content to which an instance of link information is not registered and causing the user terminal not to display information associated with the particular instance of link information and information associated with the particular external network page on the common display interface with the first instance of content such that the first instance of content to which the particular instance of link information is registered is displayed on the common display interface in the same manner of display of said another instance of content to which an instance of link information is not registered;
• receiving, by a link registration service system, an indication from the user terminal that the displayed first instance of content has been selected;
• and
• based on the received indication, causing, by the link registration service system, the user terminal to display the particular external network page,
• the link registration service system causing the user terminal to display the particular external network page by transmitting the particular instance of link information to the user terminal.

A link registration service system comprising:

• a memory having computer-readable instructions stored therein;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to,
• receive a first instance of content from a content creator terminal, the first instance of content being associated with a right, the right indicating that registration of link information specifically to the first instance of content is enabled, the registration of link information to the first instance of content including establishing a link between the first instance of content and an external network page associated with the link information;
• selectively register a particular instance of link information specifically to the first instance of content based on the right indicating that registration of link information specifically to the first instance of content is enabled and receipt of a request to register the particular instance of link information to the first instance of content, the particular instance of link information being associated with a particular external network page, to associate the first instance of content with the particular external network page;
• transmit the first instance of content to which the particular instance of link information is registered to a user terminal;
• cause the user terminal to display the first instance of content on a common display interface together with another instance of content to which an instance of link information is not registered;
• cause the user terminal not to display information associated with the particular instance of link information and information associated with the particular external network page on the common display interface with the first instance of content such that the first instance of content to which the particular instance of link information is registered is displayed on the common display interface in the same manner of display of said another instance of content to which an instance of link information is not registered;
• receive an indication from the user terminal that the displayed first instance of content has been selected;
• and
• based on the received indication, cause the user terminal to display the particular external network page by transmitting the particular instance of link information to the user terminal.
