  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same parts and components are denoted by the same reference numerals. Their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, detailed description thereof will not be repeated.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a specific example of the configuration of the text data display device according to the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 1, a text data display device includes a text data analysis unit 101 that analyzes text data, a table that associates one or more character strings with animation data, and a data storage area that stores animation data. 103, a correspondence table acquisition unit 102 that acquires a correspondence table, an animation data determination unit 104 that determines corresponding animation data, an animation data acquisition unit 105 that acquires animation data, and an animation data drawing unit 106 that draws an animation And a text drawing unit 107 for drawing the text included in the text data, and a screen display unit 110 including a drawing memory 108 and a display unit 109. The data storage area 103 described above may be included in another device such as a server outside the text data display device. In that case, the correspondence table acquisition unit 102 and the animation data acquisition unit 105 include communication means for acquiring data from the data storage area 103 included in the external device. The data storage area 103 may be included in the received mail when the text data display device receives the text data by mail.

  The text data input to the text data display device is input to the text data analysis unit 101 and the text drawing unit 107.

  The correspondence table acquisition unit 102 acquires a correspondence table from the data storage area 103. Then, the correspondence table acquisition unit 102 inputs the acquired correspondence table to the text data analysis unit 101.

  The text data analysis unit 101 analyzes the input text data based on the correspondence table acquired from the correspondence table acquisition unit 102. Then, the text data analysis unit 101 inputs the analysis result to the animation data determination unit 104.

  Based on the analysis result obtained from the text data analysis unit 101, the animation data determination unit 104 determines which animation data is used when reproducing the text data, in what order, at which position, etc. To decide. Then, the animation data determination unit 104 inputs the determination information to the animation data acquisition unit 105.

  The animation data acquisition unit 105 acquires the animation data determined from the data storage area 103 based on the determination information acquired from the animation data determination unit 104. Then, the animation data acquisition unit 105 inputs the acquired animation data to the animation data drawing unit 106.

  The animation data drawing unit 106 draws the animation data acquired from the animation data acquisition unit 105 in the drawing memory 108 included in the screen display unit 110.

  On the other hand, the text drawing unit 107 also draws the input text data in the drawing memory 108 included in the screen display unit 110.

  Information drawn in the drawing memory 108 is transferred to the display unit 109 and displayed on the display unit 109.

  Furthermore, the animation data analyzed from the text data input to the text data display device needs to change the animation display so that multiple frames are displayed in sequence or multiple animation data are displayed in sequence. If the text data input to the text data display device needs to be updated, such as moving the position and displaying the text data, The animation data drawing unit 106 and the text drawing unit 107 draw the animation data and the text data in the drawing memory 108 and display a new screen on the display unit 109.

  If the drawing memory 108 includes an animation drawing memory, a text data drawing memory, and a screen display memory as separate areas, it is necessary to update the animation data and the text data. It is also possible to redraw only the data with. That is, for example, when it is necessary to update the display of text data, but there is no need to update animation data, it is not necessary to newly draw animation data in the animation drawing memory of the drawing memory 108. .

  Next, text data display processing for displaying text data in the text data display device according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 2, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) (not shown) of the text data display device reads a program stored in a storage unit (not shown), and controls each unit shown in FIG. It is realized by doing.

  Here, a description will be given below by taking as an example the case of displaying text data “I'm sorry for the delay! Note that “¥ n” represents a line feed code. When the text of the above text data is displayed on the text data display device, it is specifically displayed as shown in FIG.

  Referring to FIG. 2, first, the correspondence table acquisition unit 102 acquires a correspondence table from the data storage area 103 (S201). A specific example of the correspondence table acquired by the correspondence table acquisition unit 102 in step S201 is shown in FIG.

  Referring to FIG. 4, the correspondence table is information that can specify a search character string serving as a search condition and a network address such as a memory address or file path of animation data corresponding to the search condition or a URL (Uniform Resource Locators). It is a table containing.

  Note that the correspondence table is not limited to the table shown in FIG. 4, and an arbitrary conditional expression such as the date and the number of characters may be recorded as a search condition instead of the character string. A plurality of correspondence tables may be stored in the data storage unit 103. In this case, the correspondence table acquisition unit 102 further includes a correspondence table selection unit (not shown). In step S201, the correspondence table selection unit corresponds to the corresponding correspondence according to the season, date and time, weather information, or an explicit instruction. The table is selected, and the correspondence table acquisition unit 102 acquires the correspondence table selected by the correspondence table selection unit. In this way, the corresponding table for recording animation data of a specific character or theme can be used for the following processing. That is, the contents of the character string used as the search condition, the animation data corresponding to the character string, and the combination thereof can be changed according to the correspondence table acquired in step S201.

  Note that the correspondence table shown in FIG. 4 may be editable by a text data display device. That is, when the text data display device further includes correspondence table editing means (not shown), in the text data display device, “phone” of the search character string shown in FIG. 4 is replaced with another character string (for example, “mobile” or the like). Or the animation data “Data3” corresponding to “Mail” is changed to other animation data (for example, “Data1”, etc.), or a search character string and animation data corresponding to the character string are newly added. It may be possible to register. In addition, the correspondence table may be set with a flag indicating whether or not editing is possible by the correspondence table editing means. Only when there is an editable flag, the correspondence table can be edited by the correspondence table editing means. Also good.

  Next, the text data analysis unit 101 analyzes the text data (S203). Specifically, the text data analysis unit 101 collates the text data with the search character string recorded in the correspondence table acquired in step S201, and searches for a search character string.

  In the specific example of the text data shown in FIG. 3, the search character strings recorded in the correspondence table whose specific example is shown in FIG. 4 appear in the order of “!”, “Phone”, “mail”, “!”. Yes. Therefore, in step S203, the text data analysis unit 101 may output all of the searched search character strings in the order of appearance as the analysis result, or may output only the search character strings in a specific appearance order. The position information where the search character string appears in the text data may be output.

  Further, in the analysis processing in step S203, a correspondence table that further records priority information for determining priority for each search character string as shown in FIG. 5 can be used. In this case, the text data analysis unit 101 may output the priority information as an analysis result in step S203. Even when the correspondence table to be used is a correspondence table that does not record priority information as shown in FIG. 5, the text data analysis unit 101 calculates priority information in step S203 based on the number of characters in the search character string. You may make it do. The search character string includes characters and symbols as shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. 5 and pictographs such as “heart” and “face”. Moreover, it is not limited to a plurality of characters and symbols, and may be a single character or symbol.

  Next, in the animation data determination unit 104, based on the analysis result in step S203 and the correspondence table acquired in step S201, animation data used for animation drawing, the order in which the animation data is displayed, timing, playback time, And an output form which is at least one of the positions is determined (S205).

  Note that the position where the animation data determined in step S205 is displayed may change with time. For example, even if the animation data is based on a still image, it can be displayed as an animation by scrolling from the upper left to the lower right, or the moving direction can be changed according to the input from the user. Alternatively, the moving direction may be changed at random.

  In step S205, the animation data determination unit 104 determines the animation data corresponding to the search character string that appears multiple times, such as “!” In the specific example of the text data shown in FIG. You may decide to use, or you may decide to use only once. Also, for example, priority information is output as a search result in step S203 using a correspondence table that also records priority information as shown in a specific example in FIG. 5, and text data to be animated is shown in FIG. Since the priority of “mail” is the highest, the animation data determination unit 104 may determine to display only the animation data “Data3” corresponding to “mail” in step S205, The animation data to be used, the number of times of use, and the order of use may be determined based on values calculated by adding the order of appearance and the number of times of appearance to the priority.

  The text data display device restricts the output of the animation data according to the output form of the animation data determined in step S205. That is, according to the animation data output form determined in step S205, the text data display device does not display the animation data for a certain period of time or longer. If there is attached animation data when using a mail browser, the text data display device displays the animation data. The output of the animation is limited depending on conditions such as not displaying or reducing the frame rate of the animation when the remaining battery level is low. Therefore, in the text data display device of the present invention, conditions can be changed according to the application, and animation reproduction according to resources such as the remaining battery level, memory, and CPU usage can be realized.

  Next, the animation data acquisition unit 105 acquires animation data to be used from the data storage area 103 (S207). In step S207, the animation data acquisition unit 105 acquires animation data to be used based on the file path or memory address information recorded in the correspondence table.

  FIG. 6 shows specific examples of animation data “Data 1”, “Data 2”, and “Data 3” recorded in the correspondence table whose specific examples are shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 6, animation data may be composed of a plurality of frames as shown in “Data 1”, or set so that sound as shown in “Data 2” is reproduced in synchronization. Or a single still image as shown in “Data 3”.

  Then, the animation data drawing unit 106 draws the animation data described above in the drawing memory 108, and the text drawing unit 107 draws the text data in the drawing memory 108. As shown, animation data and text data are displayed on the display unit 109 (S209).

  In FIG. 7, the text is displayed so as to be superimposed on the animation. However, the text may be displayed so as to be superimposed below the animation, or the text may be displayed so as to be sandwiched between the animations. Furthermore, a plurality of animation data may be displayed simultaneously. Further, when overlapping, the color or transparency of the text data or animation data may be changed and displayed. This is because the animation data drawing unit 106 and / or the text drawing unit 107 further includes a drawing correction unit for correcting the color and transparency of overlapping animation data and / or text, and corresponding animation data or / and text. This is realized by executing a drawing correction process. Alternatively, the display unit 109 further includes a display correction unit that detects an overlap between the animation data and the text, corrects the color and transparency of the animation data and / or text, and displays the corresponding animation data and / or text. This is realized by executing display correction processing on the image.

  In FIG. 7, the animation “Data1” is displayed as a background. However, the character string “!” Corresponding to “Data1” blinks, and the color and size are changed. May be highlighted with different displays.

  In addition, when the screen display unit 110 can display with a visual depth difference, part or all of the text or animation may be displayed with a depth difference.

  Furthermore, when animation data needs to be updated, such as when multiple frames are displayed sequentially or when multiple animation data are displayed in sequence, or the position of text data is moved and displayed. If it is necessary to update the display of the text (YES in S211), the process returns to step S209, and the animation data drawing unit 106 or the text drawing unit 107 draws the updated animation data or text data. Then, a new screen is displayed on the screen display means 110. Alternatively, the correspondence table read in step S201 may be updated, and animation data to be used may be updated based on the updated correspondence table. Then, the above process is repeated until the animation data or text data need not be updated (NO in S211), and this process ends.

  Even if the search character string does not appear in the text data as a result of the analysis in step S203, it may be determined in step S205 to use specific or arbitrary animation data.

  Further, when the text data display device includes text data input means (not shown), the processing after step S201 may be executed on the text data input in the text data display device.

  Furthermore, as described in step S211, the case where the animation to be reproduced sequentially displays a plurality of frames or the case where a plurality of animation data is reproduced will be described in detail with specific examples.

  FIG. 8 shows a plurality of corresponding animation data “shown in FIG. 6 for text data in which search character strings appear in the order of“! ”,“ Phone ”,“ mail ”, and“! ”As shown in FIG. It is a figure which shows the specific example of a time series in the case of reproducing | reproducing Data1 "Data2" Data3 "Data1" in order. Here, it is assumed that the reproduction time of “Data 1” is 5 seconds and the reproduction time of “Data 2” is 10 seconds. In addition, in the case of a still image such as “Data3”, it is assumed that the text data display device determines that it is displayed only for 5 seconds, although it does not normally have a playback time.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when reproducing a plurality of animation data, they are sequentially reproduced according to the appearance order of corresponding search character strings. Alternatively, the reproduction may be started simultaneously at different positions without being sequentially reproduced, or may be reproduced sequentially without waiting for the end of another animation data. In addition, the reproduction time of each animation data may be set in advance for the animation data, or may be set for each text data display device. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, when priority information is associated with a search character string, the corresponding text data can be reproduced with a reproduction time or reproduction method corresponding to the priority order. Specifically, animation data that corresponds to a search string with a higher priority can have a longer playback time, or animation data that corresponds to a search string with a higher priority can be superimposed on other animation data. You may play simultaneously.

  Further, the change of the display screen in the text data display device when the text data display device includes means for changing the content of the display screen such as a scroll button will be described with a specific example.

  9 to 14 are diagrams showing first to sixth display screens as specific examples of the display screen. Note that the first to sixth display screens shown in FIGS. 9 to 14 use the correspondence table shown in FIG. 4 and the corresponding animation data shown in FIG. It is assumed that text data “phone ¥ n3 mail ¥ n4 mail ¥ n5 phone ¥ n6 mail ¥ n” is displayed.

  Referring to FIG. 9, on the first display screen, only one animation data of “Data3” corresponding to the search character string “mail” that appears multiple times is reproduced as a background, and text data is displayed thereon. Is done. In the first screen, when a display change instruction is made to scroll up the text display position, only the text is scrolled up and background animation is performed as in the second display screen shown in FIG. The display screen may be changed so as not to scroll.

  “Data3” is a still image, but when this is a moving image, when the reproduction ends, when a predetermined time set by the text data display device has elapsed, or when a display position change instruction is issued. The animation data as the background may be changed to animation data “Data2” corresponding to the search character string “phone”. Alternatively, “Data2” and “Data3” may be simultaneously displayed on the screen.

  Referring to FIG. 11, on the third display screen, animation data for each search character string is arranged in a one-to-one relationship with the search character string at a position relative to each search character string. As described above, the output form of the animation data is changed based on the display position of the search character string. In such a third screen, when a display change instruction is made to scroll the text display position upward, the animation data corresponding to the text is displayed as in the fourth display screen shown in FIG. The display screen may be changed to scroll with the text.

  Further, referring to FIG. 13, in the fifth display screen, the animation data for each search character string is arranged in a relative position or size or color relative to other animation data. The output form of the animation data is changed based on the display position of the animation data. That is, on the fifth display screen, the output form of animation data corresponding to the search character strings “1 mail”, “2 telephones”, “3 mails”, “4 mails”, and “5 telephones” is displayed in this order from the upper left of the screen. It is changed so that it may be arranged in an overlapping manner, and the size is also changed in proportion to this order.

  Further, the output form may be changed so as to change the display position and size of the animation to be displayed and the content itself according to the day of the week and the date and time. Specifically, the output form of the animation data may be changed by using a correspondence table as shown in FIG. 24 that associates the animation data and the search character string with the animation data and the day of the week or the date and time. The text data display device may change the output form such as the color of part or all of the display contents of the animation, such as the background color and the hair color of the character, according to the day of the week and the date and time.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 25, random numbers from 0 to 10 are generated, and a correspondence table that associates animation data with the generated random numbers is used. In the case of 7, the output form may be changed so that animation data of “Data2” is used and animation is not used otherwise. The range of random numbers may be determined on the text data display device side, or data in a range for generating random numbers may be separately stored in the correspondence table. Further, using a correspondence table associating the search character string with the display probability of the corresponding animation data as shown in FIG. 26, the animation data of “Data1” is displayed at 20%, and the animation data of “Data2” is 50 The output form may be changed so as to limit the probability that the animation data is displayed for each search character string.

  In such a fifth display screen, when a display change instruction is made to scroll the text display position upward, the animation data corresponding to the text is displayed as in the sixth display screen shown in FIG. Arrange the output form such as arrangement, size, color, etc. again.

  Also, as shown in the fifth display screen, only the animation data at the foremost and upper left corresponding to “2 telephone” is started to be reproduced, and the animation data at the lower right corresponding to “5 telephone” is not reproduced. You may leave it stopped on the first screen until it is placed at the forefront.

  In this way, when animation data is played back or when it is framed in, it is faded in, or when animation data playback is finished or when it is framed out, it is faded out. Corrections that can be derived may be made. This is because the animation data drawing unit 106 further includes an animation introduction / correction unit (not shown), and when the animation data drawing unit 106 draws animation data corresponding to the drawing memory 108, the animation introduction / extraction correction unit starts reproduction. This is realized by executing a correction process on a predetermined number of frames from a predetermined number of frames, or a predetermined number of frames from the end of reproduction.

  Furthermore, when reproducing animation data including a sound such as “Data 2”, the output form may be limited so that no sound is generated depending on the situation. The situation in this case corresponds to a case where a plurality of animation data is reproduced at the same time, or a case where a setting is made so that no sound is output from a mobile phone or the like.

  Note that the text data display device according to the present embodiment may determine animation data to be reproduced by performing the following processing instead of the processing in steps S201 and S203 in FIG. That is, an example in which the text data display device displays text data that is mail 1 to mail 3 shown in FIGS. 27A to 27C will be described below. In this case, it is assumed that the text data shown in FIG. 27 includes the types and number of search character strings as shown in FIG.

  In the text data display device, the text data analysis unit 101 counts the search character strings included in the text data shown in FIG. 27 based on the search character string table shown in FIG. Note that the search character string table shown in FIG. 29 may be preset in the text data display device. Alternatively, it is stored in the data storage unit 103, and when performing the processing, the correspondence table acquisition unit 102 may acquire the search character string table from the data storage unit 103 and pass it to the text data analysis unit 101. In this case, as in step S201 described above, the corresponding correspondence table may be selected and acquired from a plurality of correspondence tables according to the season, date and time, weather information, or an explicit instruction. . Similarly to step S211, when the animation data or text data to be displayed is updated, the correspondence table may be updated as necessary.

  The counting method in the text data analysis unit 101 is not limited in the present invention. For example, the counting method is such that the count is reset to zero when there are ten search character strings. In other words, if it is a method of counting only the first place of the number of search character strings, the counter as the count result can be represented by the number of digits of the number of types of search character strings. That is, when there are four types of search character strings as shown in FIG. 29, the counter can be represented by four digits.

  In such a case, the text data display device stores a correspondence table associating counters with animation data as a correspondence table in the data storage unit 103. FIG. 30 shows a specific example of a correspondence table that associates counters with animation data. The correspondence table acquisition unit 102 acquires a correspondence table as shown in FIG. 30 from the data storage unit 103.

  In the text data display device, when the text data that is the mail 1 shown in FIG. 27 (a) is displayed, the text data analyzing unit is configured to reset the counter to 0000 each time the mail is displayed. The counter at 101 is 1111. Therefore, in step S205 described above, the animation data determination unit 104 refers to the counter and the correspondence table shown in FIG. 30 to determine animation data “Data1” as animation data to be displayed. Similarly, when the text data that is the mail 2 shown in FIG. 27B is displayed, since the counter is 2020, the animation data determination unit 104 determines the animation data “Data2” as the animation data to be displayed. When displaying the text data which is the mail 3 shown in FIG. 27C, the counter is 1010 and the corresponding animation data is not in the correspondence table. In this case, the animation data determination unit 104 displays the data in step S205. In this text data display device, no animation is displayed. Alternatively, the animation data determination unit 104 may determine predetermined animation data.

  On the other hand, when the counting method is such that the counter is not reset every time the mail is displayed, the text data corresponding to the mail 1 shown in FIG. When the text data that is the mail 3 shown is displayed, or when the text data that is the mail 1 is displayed after the text data that is the mail 3 is displayed, the counter in the text data analysis unit 101 is 2121. Therefore, in step S205 described above, the animation data determination unit 104 refers to the counter and the correspondence table shown in FIG. 30, and determines animation data “Data3” as animation data to be displayed. When the text data in the mail 3 is displayed twice continuously when the counter is 0000, the counter is set to 2020 for the second time, and the animation data determination unit 104 determines the animation data “Data2” as the animation data to be displayed. To do.

  Further, as another counting method, there is a method of counting a search character string in accordance with information accompanying text data, for example, date / time information, day information, presence / absence of attached animation data, and the like. Specifically, when it is a predetermined date and day of the week and a day of the week, a counting method that doubles a counter of a predetermined search character string, or when there is attached animation data, all counters are set to 0. Such a counting method is mentioned.

  Alternatively, in the case of text data such as a mobile phone mail, a separate counter may be prepared for each sender information, for example, for each telephone number. A counting method may be used in which the column counter is integrated.

Next, a memory area including the drawing memory 108 will be described.
When displaying text and animation in a superimposed manner as described above, to display the text (up) with the animation as the background (bottom), first draw the animation in the drawing memory 108 and then draw the animation. The text is directly drawn in the drawing memory 108. Alternatively, the contents of the drawing memory 108 in which the animation is drawn are copied to another memory area (not shown), and text data is drawn in the copied memory area. In any case, for the reasons described below, it is preferable that the drawing memory 108 for drawing the animation is at least twice the memory area necessary for displaying the animation data. The animation data display area may be a part of the display area of the screen, may be larger, may be smaller than the text data display area, or may be larger.

  FIG. 15 shows a specific example of timing for drawing animation data in the drawing memory 108 so as to overlap with text data. In FIG. 15, the timing for drawing animation data “Data1” composed of “Frame1”, “Frame2”, and “Frame3”, “Frame1” is 500 to 1000 ms, “Frame2” is 1000 to 1500 ms, “ The timing for drawing an animation that displays “Frame 3” after 1500 ms is shown. Further, in FIG. 15, each frame is drawn in order in the drawing memory 108 every 0 ms to 500 ms, the time required for each drawing process is 250 ms, and the time required for the overlapping process with text is 100 ms. Here, each frame is drawn periodically at a predetermined interval, but the next frame may be drawn 250 ms after the drawing of one frame is completed, or the text data display The time for drawing each frame may not be strictly determined depending on the resource of the apparatus.

  Furthermore, two specific examples of the drawing method in the memory area at this time are shown, and each situation is shown in FIG. In FIG. 16, BufferA, BufferB1, and BufferB2 are memory areas equivalent to the animation data display area.

  Referring to FIG. 16, in the case of the first method of drawing animation data “Data 1” using only one buffer Buffer A, the time taken to draw each frame is 250 ms as described above. “Frame 1” is drawn at ˜500 ms, “Frame 2” is drawn at 750 to 1000 ms, and “Frame 3” is drawn at 1250 to 1500 ms in a complete form in the memory area. Is not drawn to. For this reason, for example, even if there is an instruction to change the display position 501 ms after the start, it is necessary to wait for 750 ms to complete the drawing of “Frame 2” in the memory area before performing the overlapping processing with the text data. , The response may be low. Therefore, in order to prevent such a decrease in response, in the first method, it is preferable to display the completed animation and text data in an overlapping manner. In the case of completion, it is also preferable to display only text data without overlapping.

  On the other hand, in the case of the second method in which the animation data “Data1” is drawn using two buffers of BufferB1 and BufferB2, “Frame1” and “Frame3” are drawn using BufferB1, and BufferB2 is used. Draw “Frame2”. In this case, “Frame 1” is drawn in Buffer B1 in 250 to 1000 ms, “Frame 3” in 1250 to 1500 ms, and “Frame 2” is drawn in complete form in Buffer B2 in 750 to 1500 ms. For this reason, except for 0 to 250 ms, if there is an instruction to change the display position, the process of overlapping with the text data can be performed immediately, and the response can always be improved. In other words, for example, when there is an instruction to change the display position at 501 ms, the content of the animation data drawn in Buffer B1 is used, and when there is an instruction to change the display position at 1001 ms, it is drawn in Buffer B2. By using the contents of the animation data, it is possible to perform overlapping processing with text data. That is, in the second method, by drawing each frame constituting the animation data alternately using a plurality of two or more buffers, it is possible to always place an animation for which drawing has been completed in any one of the buffers. It becomes possible. As a result, it is possible to quickly respond to a display position change instruction.

  Next, overlapping of text data and animation data will be described. FIGS. 17 and 18 are diagrams showing specific examples of the timings of the two methods from the overlap of text data and animation data to the update of the screen display. 17 and 18 show a case where the screens of “Frame 1” to “Frame 3” are sequentially drawn in the memory area. The time required for drawing each frame is “Frame 1” is 550 ms, and “Frame 2” is Each drawing interval is 100 ms at 250 ms. Further, it is assumed that it takes 100 ms to perform the process of overlapping the animation drawn in the memory area and the text data.

  In the first method shown in FIG. 17, a control unit (not shown) that controls text drawing in the text drawing unit 107 checks whether or not animation drawing is completed every 500 ms. The text drawing unit 107 draws the text and displays the text so as to overlap with the text. In this first method, as shown in FIG. 17, the drawing of “Frame 1” is completed at 550 ms, and the drawing of “Frame 2” is completed at 1000 ms. Thus, “Frame 1” is not displayed.

  On the other hand, the second method shown in FIG. 18 is a case in which the completion of animation drawing in the animation data drawing unit 106 is notified to the control unit. When the control unit detects the completion of animation drawing, Immediately after the text drawing unit 107 draws the text, the drawing can be updated by overlapping with the text data. Therefore, in the second method, it is possible to reduce the number of frames that are not displayed in an animation in which the playback time is determined.

  Note that the animation data may include information on how to display text data, as shown in FIG. FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating a specific example of the animation data “Data4”, “Data5”, and “Data6” in that case.

  Referring to FIG. 19, in the text data display method such as when the mobile phone mail browsing application is activated, the text data is normally scrolled vertically, but the animation data “Data 4” is displayed together. The text data to be displayed is displayed vertically and scrolled horizontally. Even when there is no scroll instruction from the user, it may be automatically scrolled horizontally after a certain period of time.

  Referring to FIG. 19, animation data “Data5” is animation data in which text data displayed together is displayed along a specific line segment. Scroll along the minutes for display. In addition, you may display along a curve.

  Referring to FIG. 19, animation data “Data 6” includes information for displaying text data displayed together with decorations such as character size, bold, italic, and underline. Further, when information specifying a character color or font is included, the text may be displayed according to the information.

  When the animation data acquisition unit 105 acquires such animation data from the data storage area 103, the animation data drawing unit 106 draws the animation data in the drawing memory 108, and the text drawing unit 107 displays the text data. Pass information about. Then, the text drawing unit 107 draws text data in the drawing memory 108 based on the information passed from the animation data drawing unit 106.

  Further, the text data analysis range in the text data analysis unit 101 will be described. The range of the text data in the text data analysis unit 101 can be the entire range of the text data, or can be a predetermined range by setting as follows.

  FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating a specific example of text data, and is a diagram illustrating a specific example of text data described in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language).

  The text data analysis unit 101 can perform limited analysis on text data written in HTML as shown in FIG. That is, in the text data analysis unit 101, for example, it is a range surrounded by “<body>” and “/ <body>” in advance, and “<!-” And “->”. If it is set to analyze only text data outside the range surrounded by, only “text 3” shown in FIG. 20 can be set as the analysis range. By doing so, the text data analysis unit 101 can be used in a limited manner.

  Further, the analysis method in the text data analysis unit 101 may be an analysis method in which a combination of a specific character and a character string in the correspondence table is searched from text data. For example, when a specific character is “<” and analyzed using the correspondence table shown in FIG. 4, an analysis method for searching for a character string “<!”, “<Phone”, “<mail” from text data is used. There may be. Further, there may be a plurality of specific characters, and it may be in the character string or at the end, not limited to the beginning of the character string in the correspondence table.

  In addition, when the text data display device is a mobile phone and functions as a mail browser for browsing mail, the analysis range in the text data analysis unit 101 is not limited to the mail body, but the sender, destination, title, etc. Information may be included in the analysis range. At that time, the cellular phone, which is a text data display device, recorded in the storage area (not shown) the correspondence between the telephone number or mail address of the transmission partner and the animation data to be used, as shown in FIG. It is preferable to store the address book. By storing such an address book, it can be used instead of the above correspondence table. That is, for example, a mobile phone that is a text data display device displays mail received from the address “Sato@hoge1.com” using animation data “Data1”. In addition, the mobile phone which is a text data display device may be able to change animation data used by editing the address book. For example, to display mail received from the address “Yam@hoge3.com” using the animation data “Data2”, edit the address book with the name “Yamamoto” and change the animation data to be used to “Data2”. To “Data3”.
