Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program, and more particularly to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program that allow a user to easily display a desired page.

  In recent years, with the spread of the Internet, software (browser) for browsing information on the Internet in various environments has been used. For example, the use of a full browser in an environment without a pointing device such as a mouse (for example, a TV (television) receiver operated by using a remote controller, a portable terminal, etc.) becomes widespread, and the user has conventionally been a personal computer (PC). WEB (World Wide Web) pages that have been viewed in Japan are now viewed in an environment without a mouse.

  In such an environment without a mouse, it is difficult to specify (point) a predetermined area, so links to other information embedded in (included in) the web page displayed by the browser (hereinafter referred to as “ It is necessary to devise a method for specifying the target of processing such as selection of a character input field that is a field for inputting characters), selection of a toggle button to be turned on among a plurality of toggle buttons, etc. .

  As such a method, for example, there is a method in which a user operates an arrow button such as a remote controller to move a cursor on a WEB page, and presses a decision button to designate a desired processing target. .

  This method will be described using the WEB page shown in FIG.

  Processing target areas 1 to 9 are embedded in the WEB page of FIG.

  The processing target areas 1 to 5 are areas for designating “Honjo Seika”, “Yamamuro Bussan”, “XX Line”, “Operation Status Page”, and “Here” as the target of link processing, respectively. . The processing areas 7 and 8 are areas for designating a character input field for inputting a departure place and a character input field for inputting a destination, respectively, as objects for selecting a character input field. is there. The processing area 9 is an area for designating a search button, which is a toggle button for instructing a search, as a target for selecting a toggle button to be turned on.

  Here, first, the cursor 10 is placed in the first processing target area 1. In the following description, it is assumed that the order from the top of the processing target areas 1 to 9 increases as the position where the processing target areas 1 to 9 are arranged goes from the upper left to the lower right. That is, for example, the order of the processing target areas 1, 2,..., 9 from the top is 1, 2,.

  Next, the user operates the remote controller to move the cursor 10 to select any one of the processing target areas 1 to 9 and press the enter button corresponding to the mouse click to select that area. The processed processing areas 1 to 9 are designated as processing target positions. Thereby, for example, the user can activate a desired link, input a character in a character input field, or turn on a toggle button.

  In FIG. 1, since the cursor 10 is arranged in the processing target area 4, the link to the “operation status page” is activated when the user presses the determination button.

  Hereinafter, when it is not necessary to distinguish the processing target areas 1 to 9, they are collectively referred to as a processing target area 11.

  The browser also has a function of saving the current URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the WEB page as a bookmark in order to simplify the user operation for displaying the same WEB page again.

  The current URL is the URL indicating the storage location on the network of the WEB page information that is the information for displaying the WEB page of the currently displayed WEB page, or in the WEB page by the user. When the processing target area 11 corresponding to the embedded anchor tag is specified, when linked to another anchor tag or INPUT tag specified in the name field embedded in the same WEB page, the link destination Represents the URL.

  The current URL will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A and 2B.

  FIG. 2A is the web page information of FIG. 2B.

  Anchor tags 21 and 22 are embedded in the WEB page information of FIG. 2A. Based on the anchor tags 21 and 22, process target areas 31 and 32 are displayed on the WEB page of FIG. 2B.

  That is, the anchor tag 21 in FIG. 2A is “<a href=“#name”> to the end </a>”. Accordingly, “to the end” is described in the processing target area 31 displayed on the WEB page in FIG. 2B, and when the processing target area 31 is designated by the user, the same WEB page having “name” in the name field Linking to the anchor tag 22 is performed. Since the anchor tag 22 is “<a name=“name”> This is the last </a>”, the processing target area 32 displayed on the WEB page in FIG. 2B is “This is the last”. Is described.

  If the user instructs to save the bookmark immediately after the WEB page shown in FIG. 2B is displayed, “http: //aho.html/”, which is the URL of the WEB page shown in FIG. 2B, is set as the current URL. Saved as a bookmark. Further, when the user designates the processing target area 31 on the WEB page in FIG. 2B, that is, after the link to the anchor tag 22 is performed, when the user instructs to save the bookmark, the link destination URL “http” ": //aho.html/#name" is the current URL and saved as a bookmark.

  Some browsers have a function of preventing the URL of a WEB page designated by the user from being stored twice as a bookmark (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2005-173978 A

  However, in the above-described browser, only the current URL is stored as a bookmark, so when the user designates a desired bookmark and displays a WEB page, the cursor 10 is displayed in the first processing target area 31. Accordingly, the user needs to move the cursor 10 to a desired processing target area 31 by operating the remote controller many times.

  In addition, it is possible to specify the position of the default cursor 10 by adding a description of Java (registered trademark) to WEB page information described in HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language). Since the WEB page creation side designates the position of the cursor 10, the cursor is not always arranged in the processing target area 31 or 32 desired by the user.

  Therefore, it is difficult for the user to easily display the WEB page in which the cursor is placed in the desired processing target area 31 or 32.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and enables a user to easily display a desired page.

Display.

  Further, the renderer 99 displays the position of the processing target area 11 specified by the user on the WEB page by placing the cursor 10 in the processing target area 11 specified by the user on the WEB page. Furthermore, the renderer 99 arranges the cursor 10 in the processing target area 11 based on the processing target area 11 in which the cursor 10 determined by the parser 94 is arranged.

  The window system 100 issues a command to the input processing unit 97 based on a command from the light receiving unit 52A.

  Next, the attributes of the HTML tag will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 6 shows attributes of an anchor tag (hereinafter referred to as an A tag), an INPUT tag, a SELECT tag, and a TEXTAREA tag.

  As an attribute of the A tag, for example, there is “HREF”. The value of the attribute “HREF” (attribute value) indicates the URL or file name of the link destination. For example, the A tag “<A HREF=“http://www.soony.co.jp/”> Sany Home Page </A>” shown in FIG. 6 is “http://www.soony.co. The link is activated when the user designates the processing target area 11 described as “Sany Home Page” on the WEB page, which is linked to the file stored in the URL “jp /”. That is, the A tag “<A HREF=“http://www.soony.co.jp/”> Sany Home Page </A>” is added to the processing target area 11 described as “Sany Home Page”. It corresponds.

  As attributes of the INPUT tag, there are “TYPE”, “NAME”, “VALUE”, “CHECKED”, “SIZE”, and “MAXLENGTH”. The value of the attribute “TYPE” indicates the type of the processing target area 11 (character input field) corresponding to the INPUT tag, and the value of the attribute “NAME” indicates the name of the item corresponding to the processing target area 11. Further, the value of the attribute “VALUE” indicates a character string to be displayed in advance in the processing target area 11, and the value of the attribute “CHEKED” indicates an item selected in advance. Further, the value of the attribute “SIZE” indicates the width of the processing target area 11, and the value of the attribute “MAXLENGTH” indicates the maximum number of half-width characters that can be input to the processing target area 11.

  For example, the processing target area 11 corresponding to the INPUT tag “<INPUT TYPE =“ text ”VALUE =“ ”NAME =“ Mail Address ”>” shown in FIG. 6 is a text box whose item name is “Mail Address”. , Nothing is displayed in the text box.

  There are “NAME”, “SIZE”, and “MULTIPLE” as attributes of the SELECT tag. The value of the attribute “NAME” indicates the name of the item corresponding to the processing target area 11 corresponding to the SELECT tag, and the value of the attribute “SIZE” indicates the number of display digits of the processing target area 11. The attribute “MULTIPLE” indicates whether or not multiple selections are permitted in the processing target area 11.

  For example, “<SELECT NAME =“ menu ”>” of the SELECT tag shown in FIG. 6 indicates that the name of the item corresponding to the processing target area 11 is “menu”, and “<OPTION> first option” “ “<OPTION> 2nd option” and “<OPTION> 3rd option” indicate that the items of options described in the processing target area 11 are “first option”, “second option”, and “third option”. ".

  The attributes of the TEXTAREA tag include “NAME”, “ROWS”, and “COLS”. The value of the attribute “NAME” indicates the name of the item corresponding to the processing target area 11 corresponding to the TEXTAREA tag, and the value of the attribute “ROWS” indicates the height of the processing target area 11. Further, the value of the attribute “COLS” indicates the horizontal width of the processing target area 11.

  In the processing target area 11 corresponding to the TEXTAREA tag “<TEXTAREA NAME =“ COMMENT ”ROWS = 1 COLS = 40> Please comment” </ TEXTAREA> ”shown in FIG. 6,“ Please comment ”is described. When the processing target area 11 is clicked, an item named “COMMENT” and a text area having a height of one line and a width of 40 characters are displayed.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of a WEB page displayed on the display unit 51A of FIG.

  7 is the same as the WEB page in FIG. 1, but the cursor 10 is arranged in the processing target area 7 in the WEB page in FIG.

  In this case, when the user operates the remote controller 53 to instruct the display of the bookmark menu screen 150 for selecting a menu (item) related to the bookmark, the display unit 51A displays the web page shown in FIG. A bookmark menu screen 150 shown in FIG. Note that only the bookmark menu screen 150 of FIG. 8 may be displayed on the display unit 51A.

  On the bookmark menu screen 150 in FIG. 8, items of “save bookmark”, “save bookmark (with cursor position)”, and “display bookmark” are displayed. The item “save bookmark” is selected when the current URL is saved (stored) as a bookmark.

  The item “save bookmark (with cursor position)” is selected when the current URL and position information indicating the position where the cursor 10 is currently placed are saved as bookmarks. The item “display bookmark” is selected when displaying the current URL stored as a bookmark.

  In the example of FIG. 8, the cursor 151 is placed in the item “save bookmark (with cursor position)”, and when the user issues a determination command, the storage unit 111 uses the current URL and position information as a bookmark. Save in memory 80.

  FIG. 9 shows an example of a menu screen 160 for selecting various menus.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the menu screen 160 displays a cross media bar in which icons corresponding to various menus are arranged so as to cross. The user selects various icons 161 by operating the remote controller 53 and moving the cursor 162.

  In the example of FIG. 9, the user selects the notification icon 161 by moving the cursor 162 to the notification icon 161 corresponding to the menu for displaying the bookmark list. At this time, the screen shown in FIG. 10 is displayed on the display unit 51A.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 10, a network list icon 161 and a data broadcast list icon 162 are displayed on the display unit 51 </ b> A to the right of the notification icon 161. The network list icon 161 is selected when a list of current URLs saved as bookmarks is displayed. The data broadcast list icon 162 is selected when displaying a list of data broadcast stations (channels) stored as bookmarks.

  In the example of FIG. 10, the user selects the network list icon 161 by placing the cursor 173 on the network list icon 161 and issuing a determination command. At this time, the bookmark list screen 180 shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the display unit 51A.

  In the bookmark list screen 180 of FIG. 11, items “prohibit deletion”, “title”, and “cursor position” are provided.

  In the item “prohibit deletion”, a deletion prohibition icon 181 indicating that the user has instructed prohibition of deletion of a bookmark is displayed. In the example of FIG. 11, deletion prohibition icons 181 are displayed in the first and third lines from the top excluding items.

  In the item “title”, the title of the WEB page corresponding to the current URL saved as the bookmark is displayed.

  In the item “cursor position”, “with saving” indicating that the position information is saved or “without saving” indicating that the position information is not saved is displayed.

  For example, in the first line excluding items, deletion prohibition icons 181, “Sany Japan”, and “with saving” are displayed corresponding to the items “prohibition of deletion”, “title”, and “cursor position”. Has been. That is, the current URL of the WEB page whose title is “Sany Japan” and the position information of the cursor 10 at the time of saving the bookmark are stored as bookmarks, and deletion of the bookmarks is prohibited by the user.

  Next, an example of bookmark saving processing in which the browser 90 in FIG. 5 performs processing for saving a bookmark will be described with reference to FIG. This bookmark saving process is started, for example, when a WEB page is displayed on the display unit 51A according to a user instruction.

  In step S1, the window system 100 determines whether or not a bookmark is instructed by the user, that is, from the light receiving unit 52A, the item “save bookmark” or “save bookmark (position of cursor) on the bookmark menu screen 150 (FIG. 8) of the user. It is determined whether or not a command corresponding to the selection operation “added” is supplied.

  If it is determined in step S1 that an instruction to save a bookmark has been issued, the process proceeds to step S2, and the window system 100 determines that the item selected by the user based on the command is the item “save bookmark (with cursor position)”. It is determined whether or not.

  When it is determined in step S2 that the item selected by the user is the item “save bookmark (with cursor position)”, the process proceeds to step S3, and the window system 100 performs processing in which the cursor 10 is now arranged. The target area 11 is recognized, and the process proceeds to step S4.

  In step S4, the parser 94 acquires the order from the head of the tag corresponding to the processing target area 11 recognized in step S3 among the tags embedded on the WEB page as the position information, so that the cursor 10 Specify the position of. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 7, when the cursor 10 is placed in the processing target area 7, the parser 94 selects a tag corresponding to the processing target area 7 among nine tags embedded on the WEB page. "7", which is the order from the top of the, is acquired as position information.

  After the process of step S4, the process proceeds to step S5, and the storage unit 111 stores the current URL of the WEB page currently displayed on the display unit 51A and the position information acquired in step S4 as a bookmark in the memory 80. The process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S2 that the item selected by the user is not the item “save bookmark (with cursor position)”, that is, the item selected by the user is the item “save bookmark”. In step S6, the storage unit 111 stores the current URL of the WEB page currently displayed on the display unit 51A as a bookmark in the memory 80, and ends the process.

  If it is determined in step S1 that bookmark saving is not instructed, the process ends.

  Next, an example of display processing for displaying a WEB page corresponding to a bookmark performed by the tuner device 52 of FIG. 4 will be described with reference to FIG. This display process is started, for example, when the user selects a title corresponding to a desired bookmark on the bookmark list screen 180 (FIG. 11).

  In step S 21, the reading unit 112 reads the current URL of the bookmark corresponding to the title selected by the user from the memory 80 in response to a command from the input processing unit 97, and supplies the current URL to the HTTP processing unit 93.

  After the processing of step S21, the process proceeds to step S22, and the HTTP processing unit 93 determines whether or not the current URL exists on the network 63 based on the current URL from the reading unit 112, and the current URL exists. If so, the process proceeds to step S23.

  In step S23, the HTTP processing unit 93 designates the current URL, acquires WEB page information from the WEB server (not shown) via the network 63 and the network unit 91, and proceeds to step S24.

  In step S24, the renderer 99 causes the display unit 51A to display a WEB page corresponding to the WEB page information acquired in step S23 via the window system 100.

  After the process of step S24, the process proceeds to step S25, and the reading unit 112 determines whether or not the bookmark selected by the user has position information. If it is determined that there is position information, the reading unit 112 proceeds to step S26.

  In step S26, the parser 94 determines whether there is a tag corresponding to the position information included in the bookmark, that is, in the WEB page information acquired in step S23, a tag whose position from the top is in the order represented by the position information. Determine if it exists.

  If it is determined in step S26 that there is a tag corresponding to the position information included in the bookmark, the process proceeds to step S27, and the renderer 99 performs processing corresponding to the tag via the window system 100 based on the arrangement information. The cursor 10 is displayed in the area 11.

  For example, when the position information represents “7”, the renderer 99, as shown in FIG. 7, via the window system 100, the processing target area corresponding to the seventh tag from the top embedded in the WEB page. The cursor 10 is displayed at 7.

  Thus, in the tuner device 52, when the item “save bookmark (with cursor position)” is selected by the user, the position information indicating the position of the cursor 10 at that time is stored as a bookmark together with the current URL. When displaying the WEB page corresponding to the bookmark, the cursor 10 on the WEB page is again arranged at the position of the cursor 10 when the bookmark is saved based on the position information.

  Therefore, the user places the cursor 10 in the desired processing target area 11 and then selects the item “Save bookmark (with cursor position)” to display the WEB page corresponding to the bookmark. 10 can be placed at a desired position. As a result, it is not necessary for the user to move the cursor 10 to a desired position, and for example, a desired processing target area 11 can be specified at high speed. That is, user convenience can be improved.

  In particular, when the user moves the cursor 10 using a device such as the remote controller 53 that is not a pointing device, the operation for moving the cursor 10 (for example, pressing an arrow key multiple times) is complicated, and the user Convenience will dramatically increase.

  If the entire web page cannot be displayed on one screen (display screen) of the display device 51A, the web page is scrolled so that the cursor 10 is displayed on the display screen of the display device 51A. The

  If it is determined in step S26 that there is no tag corresponding to the position information included in the bookmark, the process proceeds to step S28, and the renderer 99 has no tag corresponding to the position information stored in the memory 80. Based on the video data for displaying the message, the message is displayed on the display unit 51A via the window system 100. As a result, the user recognizes that there is no tag corresponding to the position information, and places the cursor 10 at a desired position, for example, and issues a bookmark saving command again.

  After the process of step S28, the process proceeds to step S29, where the renderer 99 displays the cursor 10 in the first process target area 1 based on the arrangement information via the window system 100, and ends the process.

  If it is determined in step S25 that the bookmark selected by the user has no position information, the process advances to step S30, and the renderer 99 displays the cursor 10 in the first processing target area 1 via the window system 100. To end the process.

  If it is determined in step S22 that the current URL does not exist on the network 63, the process proceeds to step S31, and the renderer 99 displays a message indicating that the current URL does not exist via the window system 100, and performs processing. Exit.

  Next, another example of the bookmark saving process will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15.

  Steps S41 to S43 and step S53 are the same as steps S1 to S3 and step S6 in FIG.

  After the processing in step S43, the process proceeds to step S44, and the parser 94 determines what kind of tag corresponds to the processing target area 11 recognized in step S43.

  If it is determined in step S44 that the tag type corresponding to the processing target area 11 is the A tag, the process proceeds to step S45, and the parser 94 determines the tag type A tag, the A tag attribute value, and the A tag. A character string surrounded by tags is extracted as tag information.

  For example, the tag corresponding to the processing target area 11 is the A tag “<A HREF=“http://www.soony.co.jp/”> Sany Home Page </A>” shown in FIG. In this case, the parser 94 uses an A tag as the tag type, “http://www.soony.co.jp/” as the value of the attribute “HREF”, and “Sany” as a character string surrounded by the A tag. “Home Page” is extracted as tag information.

  If it is determined in step S44 that the tag type corresponding to the processing target area 11 is the INPUT tag, the process proceeds to step S46, and the parser 94 sets the tag type INPUT tag and the attribute value of the INPUT tag. Extract as tag information.

  For example, when the tag corresponding to the processing target area 11 is the INPUT tag shown in FIG. 6, the parser 94 sets the tag type INPUT tag and the attributes “TYPE”, “VALUE”, and “NAME”. The values “text”, “none”, and “Mail Address” are extracted as tag information.

  Furthermore, when it is determined in step S44 that the tag type corresponding to the processing target area 11 is the SELECT tag, the process proceeds to step S47, where the parser 94 selects the tag type SELECT tag, the SELECT tag attribute value, Then, the character string of <OPTION> corresponding to the position where the cursor 10 is placed is extracted as tag information.

  For example, if the tag corresponding to the processing target region 11 is the SELECT tag shown in FIG. 6, the parser 94 selects the tag that is the tag type, “menu” that is the value of the attribute “NAME”, and the cursor now. For example, “first option” corresponding to the position where 10 is arranged is extracted as tag information.

  If it is determined in step S44 that the tag type corresponding to the processing target area 11 is the TEXTAREA tag, the process proceeds to step S48, where the parser 94 sets the tag type TEXTAREA tag, the attribute value of the TEXTAREA tag, A character string enclosed in TEXTAREA tags is extracted as tag information.

  For example, if the tag corresponding to the processing target area 11 is the TEXTAREA tag shown in FIG. 6, the parser 94 uses the tag type TEXTAREA tag, the attribute “NAME” value “COMMENT”, and the attribute “ROWS”. "1" that is the value of "", "40" that is the value of the attribute "COLS", and "Let me comment", which is a character string surrounded by TEXTAREA tags, is extracted as tag information.

  Then, after the processing in steps S45 to S48, the process proceeds to step S49 in FIG. 15, and the parser 94 determines whether there is another tag in the WEB page information having the same information as the tag information extracted in steps S45 to S48. Determine if.

  After the processing in step S49, the process proceeds to step S50, and the parser 94 selects a tag corresponding to the processing target area 11 recognized in step S43 among the tags having the same information as the tag information extracted in steps S45 to S48. The order from the top is acquired, and the process proceeds to step S51.

  In step S51, the storage unit 111 uses the tag information extracted in steps S45 to S48 and the order acquired in step S50 as position information, and the position information and the WEB page currently displayed on the display unit 51A. Save the current URL as a bookmark and end the process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S49 that no other tag having the same information as the tag information extracted in steps S45 to S48 exists in the WEB page information, the storage unit 111 uses the tag information as position information, The position information and the current URL of the WEB page currently displayed on the display unit 51A are saved as bookmarks, and the process ends.

  As described above, in the bookmark saving process of FIGS. 14 and 15, when there are a plurality of tags having the same information as the tag information corresponding to the processing target area 11 where the cursor 10 is arranged, the tag information is the same. Since the order from the top of the tag corresponding to the processing target area 11 in which the cursor 10 is placed is stored as position information among the tags having the information, the renderer 99 moves the cursor 10 based on the position information. By arranging, the cursor 10 can be arranged more accurately at the position where the bookmark is stored.

  Next, another example of the display process will be described with reference to FIG.

  The processes in steps S71 to S75, step S83, and step S84 are the same as the processes in steps S21 to S25, step S30, and step S31, and a description thereof is omitted.

  After the processing of step S75, the process proceeds to step S76, where the parser 94 determines whether there is a tag corresponding to the tag information included in the position information, that is, whether there is a tag having the same information as the tag information, If it is determined that there is a tag corresponding to the tag information, the process proceeds to step S77.

  In step S77, the reading unit 112 determines whether or not the order is included in the bookmark position information read from the memory 80. If it is determined that the order is included, the process proceeds to step S78.

  In step S78, the parser 94 determines whether there is a tag corresponding to the order included in the position information, that is, among the tags corresponding to the tag information, there is a tag whose order from the top is the order included in the position information. Determine whether or not.

  If it is determined in step S78 that there is a tag corresponding to the order, the process proceeds to step S79, and the renderer 99 moves the cursor to the processing target area 11 corresponding to the tag via the window system 100 based on the position information. 10 is displayed.

  For example, the renderer 99 has an A tag “<A HREF=“http://www.soony.co.jp/”> Sony Home Page </A>” having the same information as the tag information included in the position information. If there are multiple URLs on the same WEB page, the second tag “<A HREF =“ http: / The cursor 10 is displayed in the processing target area 11 corresponding to the A tag “/ Sony Home Page </A>”.

  If it is determined in step S76 that there is no tag corresponding to the tag information, or if it is determined in step S78 that there is no tag corresponding to the order, the process proceeds to step S80, and the renderer 99 passes through the window system 100. To display a message that there is no tag corresponding to the tag information.

  After the process of step S80, the process proceeds to step S81, where the renderer 99 displays a cursor in the first process target area 1 via the window system 100, and ends the process.

  If it is determined in step 77 that the order is not included in the position information, the process proceeds to step S82, and the renderer 99 displays the cursor 10 in the processing target area 11 corresponding to the tag information via the window system 100. The process is terminated.

  In the above description, the WEB page information is information for displaying the WEB page. However, the WEB page information is not only information for displaying the WEB page, but also outputs sound corresponding to the WEB page. It is also possible to include information for making it happen.

  The present invention can be applied not only to the tuner device 52 having a browser that can be operated with the cursor 10 described above, but also to a tuner device 52 having another general browser. Further, the present invention can be applied not only to the tuner device 52 but also to a personal computer, a portable terminal such as a cellular phone, a recording device such as a hard disk recorder, and the like.

  Further, the tuner device 52 may accept commands from not only the remote controller 53 but also a keyboard.

  As described above, in the tuner device 52, the storage unit 111 selects the URL corresponding to the WEB page displayed by the renderer 99 according to the user's operation of selecting the item “bookmark (with cursor position)”. Since the position information indicating the position of the processing target area 11 designated by the parser 94 is stored, the user can easily display the WEB page in which the cursor 10 is placed in the desired processing target area 11. .

  In the present specification, the step of describing the program stored in the program recording medium is not limited to the processing performed in time series in the order described, but is not necessarily performed in time series. Or the process performed separately is also included.
