Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a hypertext display system for browsing hypertext via the Internet or an intranet.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A conventional hypertext display system will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 29 is a diagram showing the configuration of a system for browsing hypertext using a conventional browser.
[0003]
In FIG. 29, 2001 is a WWW server, 2002 is hypertext, 2003 is a WWW client, and 2004 is a browser.
[0004]
When the user specifies the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the hypertext 2002 to be browsed from the browser 2004 existing in the WWW client 2003, the browser 2004 reads the hypertext 2002 in the WWW server 2001 and displays the hypertext screen.
[0005]
At this time, when the data included in the hypertext 2002 changes, in order to update the display content of the hypertext screen in the browser 2004, the user generally operates the browser 2004 to reload the hypertext 2002. Need to do.
[0006]
Alternatively, the browser 2004 that has interpreted the processing instruction (script or the like) in the hypertext 2002 needs to automatically read the hypertext 2002 again.
[0007]
Another conventional hypertext display system will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 30 is a diagram showing the configuration of another conventional hypertext display system disclosed in, for example, JP-A-10-240605.
[0008]
In FIG. 30, 1001 is a WWW server, 1002 is a database, 1003 is a database change unit, 1004 is a database change detection unit (data change detection unit), 1005 is a display state check unit, 1006 is an HTML screen creation unit, and 1007 is HTML. is there.
[0009]
In the same figure, 1008 is a client computer (client), 1009 is a status monitoring unit, 1010 is a URL designation unit, and 1011 is a browser.
[0010]
Here, the HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) and the HTML screen in the other conventional examples are considered to be synonymous with the hypertext in this patent.
[0011]
In an information communication system shown in another conventional example, it is necessary for a user to frequently reload the browser 1011 in order to obtain information in real time, that is, to update the display content of the hypertext screen.
[0012]
In order to solve the inconvenience, wasteful communication, and inefficiency, the data change detection unit 1004 detects a change in the data provided by the server 1001 to the client 1008 by the data change detection unit 1004, and generates an HTML screen. Each time the data change detection unit 1004 detects a data change, the unit 1006 creates an HTML screen and notifies the browser 1011 to update the screen.
[0013]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
When the hypertext includes data that is changed in real time, the browser must frequently reload the hypertext in order to update the display content of the hypertext screen in the browser in real time.
[0014]
Generally, a target hypertext includes a display area on a browser, so that when the browser updates the display area, the screen may flicker, giving the user a sense of discomfort.
[0015]
In addition, when the data amount increases, such as when the hypertext includes a large amount of image data, the communication amount at the time of rereading increases, and the processing time for the browser to update the display contents of the screen also increases.
[0016]
Therefore, in order to update the screen content on the browser without giving the user a sense of incongruity, there has been a problem of reducing the communication amount at the time of reloading and the efficiency of the browser updating the display content of the screen.
[0017]
In addition, the trouble of creating hypertext that changes in real time was another problem.
[0018]
In another conventional example, a state monitoring unit 1009 is provided in a client 1008 equipped with a browser 1011, and the data change detection unit 1004 in the server 1001 notifies the browser 1011 to update the screen every time a data change is detected. As a result, the communication frequency is reduced and the efficiency is improved.
[0019]
However, there is a problem in that special means must be provided on the client 1008 side, so that it cannot be easily used from a general-purpose computer equipped with the browser 1011.
[0020]
In addition, there is a problem that reduction in the amount of communication and efficiency when the browser 1011 updates display contents of the screen are not considered.
[0021]
The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems, and when hypertext includes data that changes in real time, the hypertext screen can be efficiently displayed without providing a special means in the browser.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Embodiment 1 FIG.
A hypertext display system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a hypertext display system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In the drawings, the same reference numerals indicate the same or corresponding parts.
[0036]
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an extended hypertext including a real-time data designation at an arbitrary position in the hypertext, 2 denotes a hypertext generating means for reading the extended hypertext 1 and outputting hypertexts 7 to 9; Reference numeral 9 denotes a WWW server, reference numeral 12 denotes a browser, and reference numeral 13 denotes a WWW client including the browser 12.
[0037]
In FIG. 3, reference numeral 3 designates a real-time data acquisition destination from real-time data designation, real-time data management means for acquiring real-time data from a real-time data supply means described later, and reference numeral 4 designates real-time data designation from the extended hypertext 1. A hypertext output means for generating and outputting a hypertext in response to an instruction from the realtime data management means 3, and a hypertext output means 6 for managing realtime data inside the hypertext generation means 2. A real-time data management table 11 is a real-time data supply unit.
[0038]
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the structure of the real-time data management table of the hypertext display system according to the first embodiment.
[0039]
In FIG. 2, the real-time data management table 6 includes “real-time data designation”, “acquisition destination real-time data supply unit”, “update pattern”, “real-time data acquisition time”, “real-time data acquisition status”, “display”. "Updated" and "value".
[0040]
Next, the operation of the hypertext display system according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0041]
The user browses the extended hypertext 1 using the browser 12 in the same operation procedure as that for browsing the hypertext using a browser.
[0042]
That is, the user activates the browser 12 or reads the representative hypertext 7 from the WWW server 10 by specifying the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the representative hypertext 7 to be browsed in the already activated browser 12.
[0043]
The representative hypertext 7 includes a screen hypertext 8 occupying the entire display area of the representative hypertext 7 and includes a content in which real-time data is embedded in a part of the extended hypertext 1 that specifies real-time data. A hypertext 9 for data processing having no display area, including a script describing processing for changing the display content of the real-time data designation portion 8 is used as a frame element.
[0044]
Since the screen hypertext 8 occupies the entire display area of the representative hypertext 7, the content of the screen hypertext 8 is displayed over the browser 12.
[0045]
The hypertext 9 for data processing is automatically reloaded, and the display content of the real-time data designated portion of the hypertext 8 for screen is changed through a script, so that the display content of the browser 12 is automatically changed according to the change of the real-time data. Will be updated.
[0046]
At this time, since the representative hypertext 7 having the display area and the hypertext 8 for the screen are not re-read, no flicker occurs when the contents of the screen are updated.
[0047]
First, the initial processing when the extended hypertext 1 is first read and the hypertexts 7 to 9 are generated will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
[0048]
When the hypertext generating means 2 reads the extended hypertext 1 (step 101), the real-time data specification specifying means 4 finds out all the real-time data designations contained in the extended hypertext 1 and reads out the real-time management table 6. After that, the real-time data management unit 3 is requested to acquire real-time data (step 103).
[0049]
Next, when the real-time data management means 3 requests the hypertext output means 5 to output the hypertext, the hypertext output means 5 sends the real-time data from the contents of the real-time management table 6 to the real-time data designation portion of the extended hypertext 1. A hypertext 8 for a screen including a script for reloading the hypertext 9 for data processing after a certain period of time, including the embedded content, and the display content of the real-time data designation of the hypertext 8 for the screen is changed to the latest real-time data. A hypertext 9 for data processing including a script describing the processing, a hypertext 8 for screen, and a representative hypertext 7 having the hypertext 9 for data processing as a frame element are output (step 104).
[0050]
At that time, the real-time data that could not be obtained is treated as missing data, and output according to the specified display method, or if not specified, the predetermined missing data display method, for example, drawing in red italic characters I do.
[0051]
Next, the operation of the real-time data management means 3 from step 103 (request for obtaining real-time data) to step 104 (hypertext generation and output) in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
[0052]
When a real-time data acquisition request is received from the real-time data specification specifying means 4 (step 103 in FIG. 3), all real-time data specifications registered in the real-time data management table 6 are sequentially determined (steps 201 and 206). Whether the real-time data should be acquired from the supply unit 11 or an update pattern is specified (step 202), and real-time data is acquired from the real-time data supply unit 11 (step 203). When the processing of the number of registrations in the real-time data management table 6 is completed, the process ends (from step 201 to step 205). The real-time data management means 3 may collectively acquire real-time data when a plurality of real-time data designations in the extended hypertext 1 can be acquired from the same real-time data supply means 11.
[0053]
When all the real-time data is prepared, the hypertext output unit 5 is notified to output the hypertext. If the real-time data has not been collected after a certain period of time (step 204), a notification is sent to the hypertext output means 5 at that time. In this case, the real-time data that could not be acquired is treated as missing data.
[0054]
Next, the processing of the real-time data management means when updating the hypertexts 7 to 9 after the initial processing will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
[0055]
After the initial processing (step 301), the real-time data management means 3 calculates the next time at which the real-time data should be updated from the real-time data management table 6, and sleeps until that time (step 302).
[0056]
Next, when the time to be updated is reached, the real-time data to be updated is sequentially obtained again (step 303) from the real-time data supply means 11, and the content of the real-time management table 6 is updated (step 304).
[0057]
Next, when all the real-time data is prepared, the hypertext output unit 5 is notified to output the hypertext (from step 303 to step 306).
[0058]
The real-time data that cannot be obtained even after a certain period of time is set as missing data, and is notified to the hypertext output unit 5 at that time (step 305).
[0059]
After that, the computer sleeps until the next time the real-time data should be updated (step 302), and repeats a series of processes (steps 302 to 306).
[0060]
At this time, when updating the update pattern, that is, every time the real-time data is changed, when the real-time data is acquired in the initial processing, the real-time data supply unit 11 is notified every time the real-time data is changed. Ask for it. Thereafter, the same update processing is performed with the update notification from the real-time data supply means 11 as an interrupt (step 307).
[0061]
Upon receiving the notification from the real-time data management means 3, the hypertext output means 5 checks whether or not the real-time data management table 6 has been updated and outputs the hypertext.
[0062]
Next, the actual operation will be described using the extended hypertext 1 shown in FIG. 6 as an example.
[0063]
When the hypertext generating means 2 reads the extended hypertext 1 having the content shown in FIG. 6, the real-time data specification specifying means 4 specifies two real-time data specifications from the body part enclosed by <BODY> and </ BODY>.
(1) {protocol: // server1 / current / dataA},
(2) $ protocol: // server2 / current / dataB? update = 1min｝
Is specified and registered in the real-time data management table 6.
[0064]
Next, the real-time data management means 3 sends the update pattern “when the data is changed” from the real-time data supply means 11 whose real-time data designation (1) is “server1” (if the update pattern is not specified, the data is “when the data is changed”). It is assumed that the real-time data designation (2) is the update pattern "update cycle 1 minute" from the real-time data supply means 11 of "server2" and is connected to the real-time data supply means 11 of "server1" and "server2", respectively. Is established, and (1) real-time data “/ current / dataA” is obtained from “server1”, and (2) real-time data “/ current / dataB” is obtained from “server2”.
[0065]
At this time, the real-time data “/ current / dataA” specified (1) is requested to “server1” to transmit the real-time data at any time when the data is changed.
[0066]
The real-time data management means 3 writes the obtained real-time data information in the real-time data management table 6, and notifies the hypertext output means 5 when the data of the designations (1) and (2) are completed.
[0067]
At this time, if the communication destination with “server1” cannot be established even after a certain period of time since “server1”, which is the supply destination of the specification (1), is down, the acquisition status of the specification (1) in the real-time data management table 6 Is written to the hypertext output means 5 at that time.
[0068]
FIG. 7 shows the contents of the real-time management table 6 at this time.
[0069]
The hypertext output unit 5 receives the notification from the real-time data management unit 3 and outputs a hypertext. When all the real-time data are obtained, for example, when “100.0” is acquired as the value of the designation (1) and “52.3” is acquired as the value of the designation (2), the contents shown in FIG. Is displayed in the file main. html.
[0070]
Also, the representative hypertext 7 having the contents shown in FIG. html, the data processing hypertext 9 shown in FIG. html.
[0071]
As shown in FIG. 10, the data processing hypertext 9 is a hypertext in which no processing is described. In the <BODY> tag of the hypertext 8 for screen, the hypertext 9 for data processing is added to the file update. html is described.
[0072]
When the browser 12 browses the representative hypertext 7, a hypertext screen as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed.
[0073]
After the initial processing, the real-time data management unit 3 sleeps until the next update time, that is, one minute after the next update time of the designated (2). After that, the real-time data to be updated, that is, the designation (2), is reacquired to “server2”. As a result, the real-time data management table 6 is updated, and the hypertext output unit 5 is notified to output the hypertext.
[0074]
The hypertext output unit 5 converts the hypertext 9 for data processing shown in FIG. 12 into a file update. html.
[0075]
The data processing hypertext 9 includes a process of executing a script for rewriting the content of the real-time data designation portion of the screen hypertext 8 corresponding to the updated real-time data when reading the hypertext.
[0076]
By using the hypertext 8 for the screen, update. html is reloaded. At this time, since the process of rewriting the updated value of the real-time data is performed, the display content of the browser 12 is automatically updated according to the change of the real-time data.
[0077]
After that, similarly, it sleeps until the next update time. During this time, if a notification that the specified (1) real-time data has been updated is received from “server1”, the real-time data management table 6 is updated for the specified (1) real-time data as an interrupt process, and hypertext output is performed. Notify the means 5.
[0078]
As described above, according to the first embodiment, when data that is changed in real time is included in the hypertext, the display content of the hypertext screen is efficiently provided without providing special means in the browser 12. Can be updated.
[0079]
