The content displayed as a page is not limited to text format data, and may be image format or moving image format data, numerical values, tables, graphs, or other data. Furthermore, the data may be any combination of these data.

  The data input receiving unit 220 receives data input from the user 700 for the page displayed on the display device 710. The display device 710 displays a page acquired by the page browsing device 100 from an external server. For example, a liquid crystal display or the like is used as the display device 710.

  The external server corresponding unit 300 includes a designated page acquisition unit 310 and a related page acquisition unit 320. The designated page acquisition unit 310 acquires a page designated by the user 700 from the external server as a designated page. The page can be designated by the user 700 inputting a URL (Uniform Resource Locator), and may be designated by a method such as selection of a bookmark or a hyperlink on the already displayed page.

  The related page acquisition unit 320 acquires from the external server a related page that is not explicitly specified by the user 700 along with the specified page. The related page is a page associated in advance with the designated page. In the case of a series of processes as shown in FIG. 1, when the page of FIG. 1A is designated as a designated page by the user 700, the related page acquisition unit 320 displays the page figure 1 (b) that the user 700 needs thereafter. ) And (c) are acquired as related pages.

  The related page may be a page required after displaying the designated page directly designated by the user 700 as described above, or may be a page that may be required. For example, a page indicated by a hyperlink included in a specified page may be acquired as a related page. In any case, the related page is a page that is not directly designated by the user 700.

  The data holding unit 400 includes a related page information holding unit 410 and a page cache unit 420. The related page information holding unit 410 holds information on related pages associated with the designated page.

FIG. 3 is a screen view of a screen displayed on the display device 710 by the page browsing device 100 when the user 700 places an order for a buy order from the website of a securities company.
Each figure in FIG. 3 corresponds to each figure in FIG. 1, and a configuration similar to that in FIG. 1 is omitted as appropriate. A screen diagram 40 in FIG. 3A is composed of two regions 42 and 44, unlike the screen diagram 10 in FIG. Similarly, the screen diagram 50 of FIG. 3B includes an area 52 and an area 54, and the screen diagram 60 of FIG. 3C includes an area 62 and an area 64. Such screen division can be realized by using the frame function of the web browser.

  When the page browsing apparatus 100 receives a page specification from the user 700, the page browsing apparatus 100 acquires the specified page and the related page. The acquired page is held in the data holding unit 400, and the designated page is displayed in the area 44 of FIG. Information for designating each page is displayed in the area 42 of the figure so that the user 700 can select each page to switch between the designated page and the related page.

  Here, the titles of the respective pages are displayed in the area 42 in the figure, and each title is provided with a hyperlink for displaying the corresponding page. The same applies to the region 52 in FIG. 3B and the region 62 in FIG. The title of each page may be set in the page browsing apparatus 100 in advance. When the acquired page is an html page, information described in the title tag may be used as the title.

  Taking FIG. 3A as an example, in the area 42, the “brand”, which is the title of the page displayed in the area 44, is marked with a “●” mark. Thereby, it is shown which title the page displayed in the region 44 corresponds to. Similarly, in FIGS. 3B and 3C, “Q” is added to “quantity / price” and “transaction code”.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the process when a new page is designated after the designated page is displayed.
The page designation receiving unit 210 of the page browsing apparatus 100 receives a page designation from the user 700 (S10). The page designation receiving unit 210 acquires information on related pages that are associated with the designated page in advance from the related page information holding unit 410 (S12).

  Information on the designated page and information on the acquired related page are sent to the external server corresponding unit 300. The specified page acquisition unit 310 acquires the specified page from the external server 720 with reference to the information on the specified page, and the related page acquisition unit 320 acquires the related page from the external server 720 with reference to the information on the related page (S14). . Here, the designated page and the related page are acquired from the same external server 720, but the external servers that acquire the respective pages may be different.

  The acquired designated page and related page are sent to the data holding unit 400 and held in the page cache unit 420 (S16). Of the retained designated pages and related pages, only the designated pages designated by the user 700 are sent to the page display unit 500. The page display unit 500 outputs and displays it on the display device 710 so that the user 700 can visually recognize the designated page (S18).

  The display of the designated page will be described with reference to FIG. 3 as an example. The page designated by the user 700 is displayed in the area 44 in FIG. The information displayed in the area 42 in FIG. 5 is that the data holding unit 400 obtains necessary information from the page cache unit 420 when the designated page is sent to the page display unit 500, and is displayed in the page display unit 500 together with the designated page. Send. The page display unit 500 displays the transmitted information in the area 42 in the figure.

  Returning to FIG. 4, the description will be continued. While the designated page is displayed on the display device 710, the page designation accepting unit 210 accepts designation of a new page from the user 700 (S20). Taking FIG. 3 as an example, the user 700 inputs necessary information in the input form 46 in the area 44 of FIG. 3A and presses the next button 48 to display the screen of FIG. 3B. This is the case.

  The page designation receiving unit 210 refers to the related page information holding unit 410 in order to determine whether the newly designated page corresponds to the related page of the designated page displayed in S18. When the newly designated page is not a related page (N in S22), the page designation receiving unit 210 acquires information on the related page of the newly designated page from the related page information holding unit 410 (S12). Then, the process of S14-S18 is performed.

  When the newly designated page is a related page (Y in S22), the page designation receiving unit 210 sends information on the related page to the data holding unit 400. The data holding unit 400 sends the related page held in the page cache unit 420 to the page display unit 500. The page display unit 500 displays the related page on the display device 710 (S24). As a result, the page displayed on the display device 710 is switched from the designated page to the related page.

  According to such a process, the page browsing apparatus 100 acquires the designated page and the related page in advance, so that the screen can be quickly switched from the designated page to the related page. That is, the related page can be quickly displayed without being affected by the state of the external server in which the related page is stored or the state of the network up to the external server. Therefore, the user can view the page comfortably without waiting for the related page to be read.

  In the processing described with reference to FIG. 4, the external server corresponding unit 300 acquires the designated page and the related page together. However, priority may be given to displaying the designated page, and after the designated page display process is completed, the related page may be acquired and the related page may be held in the page cache unit 420.

  Thereby, compared with the case where the process of a designated page and a related page is performed simultaneously, the page browsing apparatus 100 can display a designated page more rapidly. Since the related page acquisition / holding process is executed while the user 700 is browsing the displayed designated page, the processing efficiency of the page browsing apparatus 100 is improved.

  In the processing described with reference to FIG. 4, switching from the designated page to the related page is performed by pressing the next button 48 in FIG. 3A by taking the screen diagram 40 of FIG. 3A as an example. The page browsing apparatus 100 displays a hyperlink to another page in the area 42 of FIG. 5 in addition to the next button 48 as means for switching to another page. Therefore, the user 700 may designate a new page using the hyperlink in the area 42 in FIG.

  In the process described with reference to FIG. 4, when acquiring related page information (S <b> 12), the page designation receiving unit 210 acquires information from the related page information holding unit 410 inside the page browsing apparatus 100. However, the related page information may be stored in an external device such as the external server 720, and the related page information may be acquired from the outside. Hereinafter, a process for acquiring a related page when the related page information is stored in the external server 720 will be described.

  Information on the designated page accepted by the page designation accepting unit 210 is transmitted from the external server corresponding unit 300 to the external server 720. The external server 720 that has received the information on the designated page transmits the information on the related page associated with the designated page to the external server corresponding unit 300. The related page acquisition unit 320 acquires the related page with reference to the transmitted related page information.

  In the process of FIG. 4, the related page information holding unit 410 is also referred to in S22. When the related page information is stored in the external server 720, when the external server corresponding unit 300 acquires the related page, the related page information acquired from the external server 720 is stored in the data holding unit 400. May be. By referring to the held information, the page designation receiving unit 210 can determine whether the newly designated page corresponds to the related page of the designated page. The page designation receiving unit 210 may make the determination by referring to the related page information stored in the external server 720 without the related page information being held in the data holding unit 400.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a processing process when data input to a displayed page is held in the page browsing apparatus 100.
Here, the designated page is displayed on the display device 710, and the user 700 inputs data to the displayed page.

  The user handling unit 200 monitors the input operation of the user 700 (S26). During the monitoring of the input operation, the user handling unit 200 determines whether or not a predetermined condition set in advance for the data input operation of the user 700 is satisfied (S28).

  When the predetermined condition is not satisfied (N in S28), the user handling unit 200 continues to monitor the user's input operation (S26). When the predetermined condition is satisfied (Y in S <b> 28), the user handling unit 200 sends data input from the user 700 to the data holding unit 400. The sent data is stored in the page cache unit 420 in association with the designated page to be input (S30).

  The predetermined conditions will be described with reference to FIG. Here, the screen diagram 50 of FIG. 3B is displayed on the display device 710. In the area 54 of the figure, an input form 56 for quantity and an input form 58 for price are displayed. The user 700 first inputs the quantity scheduled to be purchased in the input form 56. Thereafter, the user 700 inputs the price to be purchased on the input form 58.

  As described above, when a plurality of input forms are displayed on the displayed page, the user corresponding unit 200 moves to one input form when the user input shifts from one input form to the other input form. Is determined to be completed, and it is determined that the holding condition is satisfied.

  Specifically, it is determined that the holding condition is satisfied when the input to the input form 58 is started. As a result, the data already input to the input form 56 is stored in the page cache unit 420 in association with the page displayed in the area 54 of FIG. Here, the case where the input is performed in the order from the input form 56 to the input form 58 has been described as an example, but the same applies to the order from the input form 58 to the input form 56.

  Still another predetermined condition will be described with reference to FIG. Here, the screen diagram 40 of FIG. 3A is displayed on the display device 710. The user 700 inputs a brand code or brand name to be purchased on the input form 46 in FIG. Thereafter, the user 700 presses the next button 48 and tries to display the screen diagram 50 of FIG.

  When the next button 48 is pressed, the user handling unit 200 determines that the input to the input form 46 in the figure is completed, and determines that the holding condition is satisfied. As a result, the data already input to the input form 46 is stored in the page cache unit 420 in association with the page displayed in the area 44 in FIG.

  In this holding condition, it is determined that the condition is satisfied when the user 700 presses the next button 48. However, when a new page is designated using the hyperlink displayed in the area 42 of FIG. 3A, the user correspondence unit 200 may determine that the holding condition is satisfied.

  The predetermined conditions have been described above, but any condition may be used in the page browsing apparatus 100. All the conditions may be set in the page browsing apparatus 100, and the user 700 may be configured to select one of them. Also, all conditions may be set, and input data may be held regardless of which condition is satisfied, or the above conditions may be set in any combination.

  Returning to FIG. 5, the description will be continued. After the input data is associated with the designated page and held in the page cache unit 420, the page designation accepting unit 210 newly accepts designation of a related page (S32). The designation of the related page may be designation by pressing the next button 48 in FIG. 3A or designation by a hyperlink displayed in the area 42 in FIG.

  The data holding unit 400 sends the related page held in the page cache unit 420 to the page display unit 500. The page display unit 500 displays the related page on the display device 710 (S34).

  After that, the user 700 designates the designated page to display the designated page displayed before the related page. Referring to FIG. 3 as an example, after displaying the screen view 50 of FIG. 3A to the screen view 50 of FIG. 3B, the user 700 designates from the hyperlink in the area 52 to display FIG. ) Is displayed again.

  The page designation accepting unit 210 accepts designation of a designated page (S36). The user handling unit 200 refers to the page cache unit 420 to confirm the existence of input data held in association with the designated page. When there is no input data associated with the designated page (N in S38), the data holding unit 400 sends the designated page held in the page cache unit 420 to the page display unit 500. The page display unit 500 displays only the designated page (S42).

  If there is input data associated with the designated page (Y in S38), the data holding unit 400 sends the designated page held in the page cache unit 420 and its input data to the page display unit 500. The page display unit 500 causes the display device 710 to display the specified page in a state where the input data is input to the input form in the specified page (S40).

  According to such processing, the content input by the user 700 in the past is displayed again even when the display target page is switched. It is possible to suppress a situation in which, in the middle of data input, an error in the past input content is noticed and the input content disappears when returning to the original page. Similarly, even in a situation where another page must be displayed during data input, the user 700 can display another page without worrying about the loss of input content.

  In addition, even when the computer freezes during data input and the page to be input is displayed again after restarting, the input data held in the page cache unit 420 can be recovered. The same applies to the case of purchasing again on a shopping website that has been purchased before. In this case, since data such as name, address, and telephone number input in the past are stored in association with the input target page, the user 700 only needs to input the changed portion from the next time.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a processing process when data input to the displayed page is transmitted to the external storage device 730.
Here, the designated page is displayed on the display device 710, and the user 700 inputs data to the displayed page.

  The user handling unit 200 monitors the input operation of the user 700 (S44). While monitoring the input operation, the user handling unit 200 determines whether or not a predetermined condition set in advance for the data input operation of the user 700 is satisfied (S46). If the predetermined condition is not satisfied (N in S46), the user handling unit 200 continues to monitor the user's input operation (S44).

  When the predetermined condition is satisfied (Y in S46), the user correspondence unit 200 associates the data input from the user 700 with the designated page to be input and sends the data to the data transmission unit 610 of the external storage device correspondence unit 600. The data transmission unit 610 transmits the input data to the external storage device 730 (S48). The external storage device 730 stores the input data. The predetermined conditions are the same as those described with reference to FIG. 5, and a description thereof is omitted here.

  The page designation receiving unit 210 newly accepts designation of related pages (S50). The data holding unit 400 sends the related page held in the page cache unit 420 to the page display unit 500. The page display unit 500 displays the related page on the display device 710 (S52). After that, the user 700 designates the designated page to display the designated page displayed before the related page.

  The page designation accepting unit 210 accepts designation of a designated page (S54). The user handling unit 200 sends information on the designated page to the data acquisition unit 620. The data acquisition unit 620 refers to the external storage device 730 to confirm the presence of input data held in association with the designated page. When there is no input data associated with the designated page (N in S56), the data holding unit 400 sends the designated page held in the page cache unit 420 to the page display unit 500. The page display unit 500 displays only the designated page (S60).

  If there is input data associated with the designated page (Y in S56), the data acquisition unit 620 acquires the input data from the external storage device 730 and sends it to the page display unit 500. The data holding unit 400 sends the designated page held in the page cache unit 420 to the page display unit 500. The page display unit 500 causes the display device 710 to display the specified page in a state where the input data is input to the input form in the specified page (S58).

  According to such processing, the same effect as the case where the input data is held in the page browsing apparatus 100 as described in FIG. 5 can be obtained. Further, when the input data is stored externally, there is an effect that cannot be obtained when the input data is stored internally. For example, if the external storage device 730 is a server connected via a network line, the input data can be displayed even if the computer is connected to that line. When the external storage device 730 is a portable storage device such as a USB memory, input data can be displayed even if the external storage device 730 is an offline computer that is not connected to a network line.

FIG. 7 is a screen diagram 70 of a screen when the user's data input status for each page is displayed.
Referring to FIG. 3 as an example, conventionally, the user 700 can display pages only in the order of FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 3C set in advance. That is, when the input of FIG. 3A is completed and the next button 48 is not pressed, the screen diagram 50 of FIG. 3B is not displayed. However, in the page browsing apparatus 100, the user can freely switch the display target page by the hyperlink shown in the area 42 of FIG.

  Therefore, the user 700 may not be aware of the presence of an input form for which data input has not been completed, and a series of processes may not be completed. In FIG. 3, since the necessary data is not input in all the input forms, the ordering process cannot be transmitted to the server of the securities company. The screen diagram 70 of FIG. 7 displays the data input status of each page to the user 700 in order to suppress such forgetting to input.

  In the screen diagram 70, it is shown that the input of the “brand” page of FIG. On the other hand, the “order information” page in FIG. 3B indicates that the input has not been completed and is still being input. Further, the “transaction code” page of FIG. 3C shows that input from the user 700 has not been made yet.

  The screen diagram 70 is displayed when an input status display button not shown in each screen diagram of FIG. 3 is pressed. However, since there is an area (for example, the area 42 in FIG. 3A) where the title of each page is shown at the top of each screen diagram in FIG. 3, each title information is added to each title information in this area. The input status may be displayed.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a process when an input status display request is received from the user 700.
The user handling unit 200 monitors the input operation of the user 700 (S60). While monitoring the input operation, the user handling unit 200 determines whether or not a predetermined condition set in advance for the data input operation of the user 700 is satisfied (S62). If the predetermined condition is not satisfied (N in S62), the user handling unit 200 continues to monitor the user's input operation (S60).

  When the predetermined condition is satisfied (Y in S62), the user corresponding unit 200 refers to the satisfied condition and determines the input status of the user 700 with respect to the input target page (S64). Here, three statuses of “input completed”, “during editing”, and “not input” are used as the input status, and each specific determination method will be described by taking FIG. 3 as an example.

  First, when the page of FIG. 3A is displayed by designation from the user 700, the user corresponding unit 200 determines that the input status of the displayed designated page and the related page that is not displayed is “not input”. The user response unit 200 monitors the input operation of the user 700, and when the user 700 starts input to the input form 46 in the figure, the user response unit 200 changes the input status of the page in FIG. To "".

  Even if the input status is “editing” and the user 700 switches the display target to FIG. 3B using the hyperlink in the area 42 in FIG. 3, the input status on the page in FIG. “Editing” remains. On the other hand, when the user presses the next button 48 in FIG. 3A to switch the display target to FIG. 3B in the “editing” state, the user corresponding unit 200 displays the input form in FIG. It is determined that the input to 46 is completed, and the input status is changed from “editing” to “input completed”.

  The input status determined by the user handling unit 200 is associated with the target page, sent to the data holding unit 400, and held (S66). Thereafter, the user handling unit 200 receives a display request for the input status of each page from the user 700 (S68). The user handling unit 200 sends information about the page requested to be displayed to the data holding unit 400.
