The video processing unit 205 converts the video signal obtained from the Internet browser 208 into a signal suitable for input to the display unit 206 and outputs the signal. As a result, the image of the home page is output from the display unit 206 . In addition, in the series of operations described above, if there is data to be temporarily stored in the terminal, the Internet browser 208 stores the data in the data storage unit 209 as necessary.

Mobile terminal 101 transmits the URL of the Internet site to Internet connection terminal 100 via wireless communication by performing a predetermined user operation described later while the Internet site is being displayed. The connection terminal 100 becomes operable, and the user can operate the Internet connection terminal 100 using the mobile terminal 100 .

First, the operation of mobile terminal 101 accessing Internet 104 via base station 103 and displaying an Internet site will be described with reference to FIG.

Assume that the user performs a predetermined operation on the mobile terminal 101 via the input unit 102 of the mobile terminal 101 and instructs display of an Internet site on the mobile terminal 101 .

In this case, the system control unit 301 of the mobile terminal 101 activates the Internet browser 302 for displaying the Internet site according to the user's instruction received via the input unit 102 . The system control unit 301 instructs the Internet browser 302 to access the Internet site displayed immediately after activation via the communication unit 300 and receive the homepage data of the Internet site.

The communication unit 300 communicates with the base station 103 by wireless communication, accesses the Internet 104 via the base station 103, and receives the data of the home page of the Internet site. Furthermore, the communication unit 300 outputs the data to the Internet browser 302 via the system control unit 301 . The Internet browser 302 constructs an image to be displayed as a home page from the received data, converts the image into a video signal suitable for input to the video processing unit 304, and outputs the video signal. A video processing unit 304 converts a video signal obtained from the Internet browser 302 into a signal suitable for input to the display unit 305 and outputs the signal. As a result, the image of the home page is output from the display unit 305 . In addition, in the series of operations described above, if there is data to be temporarily stored in the terminal, the Internet browser 302 stores the data in the data storage unit 303 as necessary.

Similarly, the mobile terminal 101 acquires a URL embedded in a hyperlink or by user input, and controls access to the Internet site indicated by this URL. The system control unit 301 also controls the data storage unit 303 to store the URL of the Internet site displayed by the Internet browser 302 .

Next, using the Internet connection terminal 100 and the mobile terminal 101, an Internet site displayed on the mobile terminal 101 is displayed on the Internet connection terminal 100, and following this display, the operation of operating the Internet connection terminal 100 by the mobile terminal 101 is performed. Details will be described with reference to the flow charts of FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG.

In FIG. 5 , the operation of the mobile terminal 101 is shown in a frame 500 and the operation of the Internet connection terminal 100 is shown in a frame 513 . In the following description, the flow of operations within the frame 500 and the flow of operations within the frame 513 will be explained in parallel, so that the flow of operations of the mobile terminal 101 and the Internet connection terminal 100 and the flow of operations of both terminals will be explained. At the same time, we will explain the relationship in In the following description, the mobile terminal 101 is taken as an example of a mobile phone, and the Internet connection terminal 100 is taken as an example of a television having an Internet connection function.

First, the user sets in advance the type of television for browsing the Internet, which will be described later, on a predetermined setting screen for the mobile phone by specifying the manufacturer and model number using the input unit 102, for example (step 501). ). Here, the data storage unit 303 stores numbers such as input model numbers, operations performed by the user, and signals and information to be transmitted in association with each other. Then, the control means 301 sets a command to be transmitted to the television by associating the input operation of the data storage unit with the information to be transmitted. By setting this command, a command that can be recognized by the television can be transmitted from the mobile phone.

The user turns on the television by a predetermined operation, and the television receives and reproduces the broadcast received from the digital broadcast receiving section 200 according to the mechanism described above (step 514). Step 514 is the state when the user uses the television alone, and this state is the normal mode of the television. The powered-on state means that at least the main power is on.

The user performs an operation to start displaying a predetermined Internet on the mobile phone. By this operation, the Internet site is displayed on the display unit 305 of the mobile phone as shown in the screen display 401, and the user can browse the Internet site (step 502).

The steps 501 and 502 are states when the user uses the cellular phone alone, and this state is defined as the normal mode of the cellular phone.

Suppose that the user tries to browse the Internet site on the television while browsing the Internet site. In this case, the user operates the input unit 102 to select the button 402 displayed in the display unit 305 of the mobile phone (step 503). By the above operation, the mobile phone enters a display switching mode, which is a state for performing processing for switching the display of the Internet site to the television.

When the mobile phone enters the display switching mode, the system control section 301 of the mobile phone transmits the URL of the Internet site being displayed to the television via the data transmission/reception section 306 (step 504). Further, the system control unit 301 controls the display unit 305 and the like so as to end the display of the Internet site on the mobile terminal after or at the same time that the URL is transmitted. Also, the mobile phone may be configured to transmit a signal for instructing display of the Internet site to the television together with the URL.

The television receives the URL from the mobile phone via the data transmission/reception unit 210 (step 515), connects to the Internet site indicated by the URL according to the procedure described above, and displays on the display unit 206 as shown in the screen display 406. Display the Internet site (step 516). By the step 516, the television is brought into a state of accepting operations from the mobile phone, and this state is set as an external operation accepting mode. Also, by the operation of step 516, the display on the television is switched from the previously displayed content to the content corresponding to the URL received from the mobile phone.

On the other hand, in the mobile phone, after the URL is transmitted, the system control unit 301 uses some keys of the input unit 102 to operate the television, which will be described later, and this state is referred to as an operation switching mode. On the display unit 305, for example, as shown in the screen display 404, a display is provided to explain to the user the details of the operations that can be performed by pressing the key (step 505).

Here, the configuration capable of operating the television means that by pressing some keys of the input unit 102, data indicating the operation of the television that can identify the type of television set in step 501 is transmitted. This data has the same contents as the data transmitted by the remote controller of the television of the type set in step 501, for example. As a result, when the user intends to move the selection item of the Internet site displayed on the television or perform an operation such as deciding the selection item, screen display 404 among the keys of the input unit 102 of the mobile phone is displayed. By pressing a key corresponding to the operation content indicated by , the mobile phone transmits information or a signal indicating the operation instruction to the television (step 506). By the operation of this step, the mobile phone functions as a TV remote controller. Further, the operation of this step is performed by the control of the control 301, for example.

The television, which has received the information or signal indicating the operation instruction from the mobile phone by the data transmission/reception unit 210, displays the contents of the instruction on the screen of the screen display 406 that displays the Internet or on the operation of the Internet browser 208 under the control of the system control unit 201. is reflected (step 517).

When the user wants to return from browsing the Internet site on the TV to browsing the Internet site on the mobile phone, the user selects the button display 405 displayed in the display unit 305 of the mobile phone. Then, the operation is performed (step 507). By this operation, the mobile phone transmits data indicating termination of Internet display to the television through communication via the data transmitting/receiving section 306 (step 508). Further, the system control unit 202 controls the display unit 206 and the like so as to end the display of the Internet site on the television after or at the same time as transmitting the URL.

Upon receiving the data by the data transmission/reception unit 210, the television stops displaying the Internet site (step 518). Finally, the URL of the Internet site displayed on the television is transmitted to the mobile phone via the data transmission/reception unit 210 (step 519), and the television program displayed before the start of Internet display is displayed on the screen, for example. 403 is displayed (step 520). At step 520, the television is again in a state where it operates alone, and is in the normal mode. Also, in step 520, the television resumes displaying the content it was displaying before receiving the URL from the mobile phone. Note that in step 520, the television may simply end displaying the Internet site. It is possible for the user to reduce the time and effort of the operation for ending the display on the television.

In addition, the mobile phone receives the URL of the Internet site displayed on the television at the last time, accesses the Internet site of the URL, and displays it (step 510). Due to this operation, the display of the Internet site is switched from the television to the mobile phone, so the mobile phone enters the display switching mode. The operation of this step is performed under the control of the control unit 301, for example. Also, the operation of this step restarts the display of the Internet site on the mobile phone.

At this time, the system control unit 301 changes the functions assigned to some of the keys of the input unit 102 that have been used to operate the television from the mobile phone, and treats them as normal keys for operating the mobile phone (step 511). . Further, the screen display is switched from, for example, screen display 404 to screen display 401, and the user continues browsing the Internet site displayed like screen display 401 (step 512). In step 512, the mobile phone returns to the normal mode because it returns to the state where the mobile phone can operate alone.

In this way, the URL of the Internet site browsed by the mobile terminal 101 is transmitted to the Internet connection terminal 100 by wireless communication, the Internet connection terminal 100 that receives the URL displays the Internet site, and the user displays the Internet site. The Internet connection terminal 100 is operated using the mobile terminal 101 .

The mobile terminal 101 has a display switching mode in which the display is switched to the Internet connection terminal 100 from the normal mode in which the mobile terminal 101 operates alone by simply pressing a button once for switching the display of the Internet to the Internet connection terminal 100 by the user. Then, following this, the operation switching mode in which the Internet connection terminal 100 is operated by the mobile terminal 101 is changed one after another. Also, when displaying the Internet on the mobile terminal 101 again, simply pressing the button for viewing the Internet on the mobile terminal 101 once terminates the operation switching mode, transitions to the display switching mode, and then returns to the normal mode. Perform a series of actions to return.

As a result, the user can display the Internet site on a larger screen by a simple operation using only the mobile terminal 100 without having to operate the terminal to newly display the Internet site, and continue using the mobile terminal 100. can be used to operate the terminal that newly displayed the Internet site, and the user can smoothly switch the display of the Internet site between different terminals.

In the above embodiment, the screen display 406 displays the Internet site on the display unit 206 of the Internet connection terminal 101 in full screen display, but the Internet site may be displayed on a part of the screen.

In this embodiment, when an Internet site is browsed on the mobile terminal 101, the entity that performs communication via the Internet network and processing for outputting received information as video is the Internet connection device from the mobile terminal 101. It will switch to 100. For this reason, for example, when the communication speed at which the Internet connection device 100 communicates via the Internet network is higher than the communication speed at which the mobile terminal 101 communicates via the network network, the user may perform an operation for browsing the Internet site. can be performed on the mobile terminal 101, and Internet sites can be browsed through faster communication.

In addition, in the present embodiment, examples of Internet connection terminals include a television device, a set box device, and a DLNA compatible server. By applying this embodiment to these devices, it is possible to solve the problems that occur under the circumstances described below.

For example, these information processing apparatuses such as televisions are often installed in living rooms and shared by a plurality of people. Therefore, it may be necessary to suddenly stop viewing using a display such as a television. Specifically, this is a case where a plurality of people watch television, making it difficult for an individual to display an Internet site.

In this case, in order for the user to continue viewing Internet sites, etc. on the mobile terminal 100, for example, the display screen of the Internet site is turned off from the television display, the browser of the mobile phone with a communication function is activated, and the display is displayed. By inputting the displayed URL into the mobile phone, it is conceivable that the viewing can be continued using the mobile phone with a communication function. However, this method has the problem that the operation requires a large number of steps.

On the other hand, according to the mobile terminal 101 and the Internet connection device 100 of this embodiment, for example, the above problems can be solved, and not only can the subject of display and communication be switched from the mobile terminal 101 to the Internet connection device 100, , the operation of switching from the Internet connection device 100 to the mobile terminal can be performed with good usability.

In this embodiment, an Internet site has been described as an example of content information, but the present embodiment is not limited to this, and information indicating other content such as television programs may be used. Further, although the URL has been described as an example of the identification information, the identification information is not limited to this. For example, information indicating the channel of a television program may be used as the identification information.

Next, Example 2 will be described. In this embodiment, in the Internet connection terminal 100 and the mobile terminal 101 of the first embodiment, infrared communication is used for transmission/reception of URLs and transmission/reception of various operation instructions, and a method of realizing operations equivalent to those of the first embodiment is described. explain.

This embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. Further, in the following description, the same reference numerals are given to the parts equivalent to those in the previous embodiment, and the explanation thereof will be omitted to avoid duplication.

The Internet connection terminal 100 of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 6 differs from the first embodiment shown in FIG. 2 in that the data transmitter/receiver 210 is an infrared transmitter/receiver 600. Data is transmitted and received using an infrared command communication format defined by the IrDA standard or infrared communication conforming to the IrDA standard.

The mobile terminal 101 of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 7 differs from the first embodiment shown in FIG. 3 in that the data transmission/reception unit 306 is an infrared transmission/reception unit 700. data is transmitted and received using the signal of

The operation of this embodiment will be described below with reference to the flow charts of FIGS. 6, 7 and 8. FIG. In this embodiment, when the Internet connection terminal 100 receives the URL of the Internet site from the mobile terminal 101 through infrared communication by the user's operation while receiving and reproducing a digital broadcast, the Internet connection terminal 100 displays the Internet site. Following the display, the operation of the Internet connection terminal 100 by the mobile terminal 101 is accepted through infrared communication.

FIG. 8 is the flowchart of FIG. 5 used in Example 1 of the present invention, with steps indicated by thick frames added. As in FIG. 5, FIG. 8 shows the operation of the mobile terminal 101 in a frame 500, and the operation of the Internet connection terminal 100 in a frame 513. By describing the flow of operations in the frame 513 in parallel, the flow of operations of the mobile terminal 101 and the Internet connection terminal 100 and the relationship between the flow of operations of both terminals will be explained at the same time. In the following description, a mobile phone is used as an example of the mobile terminal 101, and a television having an Internet connection function is used as an example of the Internet connection terminal 100. FIG.

First, the user sets in advance the type of television for browsing the Internet, which will be described later, on a predetermined setting screen for the mobile phone by specifying the manufacturer and model number using the input unit 102, for example (step 501). ). In this embodiment, the commands are general infrared commands that can be received and processed in, for example, a television. A general-purpose infrared command is, for example, a command transmitted in the form of a PPM (Pulse Position Modulation) signal. Also, the format of the general-purpose infrared command is defined for each manufacturer, for example, and is a format used for communication with the attached remote controller.

The user turns on the television by a predetermined operation, and the television receives and reproduces the broadcast received from the digital broadcast receiving section 200 according to the mechanism described above (step 514).

The user performs an operation to start displaying a predetermined Internet on the mobile phone. By this operation, the Internet site is displayed on the display unit 305 of the mobile phone as shown in the screen display 401, and the user can browse the Internet site (step 502).

Suppose that the user tries to browse the Internet site on the television while browsing the Internet site. In this case, the user performs an operation of selecting the button 402 displayed in the display section 305 of the mobile phone (step 503).

By the above operation, the infrared transmitting/receiving unit 700 of the mobile phone transmits an infrared command of the type set in step 501 that can be recognized by the television, thereby instructing the television to start IrDA communication (step 800). Upon receiving the infrared command, the television starts IrDA communication (step 801) and requests the mobile phone to connect to IrDA communication (step 802). On the other hand, immediately after transmitting the infrared command in step 800, the mobile phone prepares to start the IrDA connection, responds to the request for connection of the IrDA communication from the television, and performs IrDA communication between the television and the mobile phone. communication connection is established (step 803). Further, the system control unit 301 controls the display unit 305 and the like so as to end the display of the Internet site on the mobile terminal 101 after transmitting the URL or at the same time as transmitting the URL.

In response to the establishment of the IrDA communication connection, the system control unit 301 of the mobile phone transmits the URL of the Internet site being displayed to the television through the IrDA communication by the infrared transmitting/receiving unit 700 (step 504). ).

The television receives the URL from the mobile phone via the infrared transmitter/receiver 600 (step 515). Further, the television transmits data indicating successful reception of the URL to the mobile phone via IrDA communication by the infrared transmitting/receiving section 600 (step 804). When the mobile phone receives the data indicating that the URL has been successfully received (step 805), it disconnects the IrDA communication by the infrared transmitting/receiving section 700 (step 806). As a result of the disconnection, the television also terminates the IrDA communication by the infrared transmitting/receiving unit 600, and enters a state of accepting normal infrared commands received from a remote controller (not shown) or the like. Further, the Internet site indicated by the URL is connected by the procedure described above, and the Internet site is displayed on the display unit 206 as shown in the screen display 406 (step 516).

On the other hand, in the mobile phone, after transmitting the URL, the system control unit 301 uses a part of the keys of the input unit 102 to configure the television, which will be described later, to be operable. , a display is provided to explain to the user the contents of operations that can be performed by pressing the key (step 505). Here, the configuration capable of operating the television means that by pressing a part of the keys of the input unit 102, an infrared command for operating the television that can identify the type of television set in step 501 is sent to the infrared transmitting/receiving unit. 700, and the infrared command has the same content as the infrared command transmitted by the remote controller (not shown) of the television of the type set in step 501, for example. As a result, when the user attempts to move the selection item of the Internet site displayed on the television or to perform an operation such as deciding the selection item, the user can use the keys of the input unit 102 of the mobile phone to display the screen display. By pressing the key corresponding to the operation content indicated by 404, the mobile phone transmits the operation instruction to the television (step 506).

Upon receiving the operation instruction from the mobile phone, the television reflects the content of the instruction on the screen display 406 displaying the Internet and the operation of the Internet browser 208 (step 517).

When the user wants to return from browsing the Internet site on the TV to browsing the Internet site on the mobile phone, the user selects the button display 405 displayed in the display unit 305 of the mobile phone. Then, the operation is performed (step 507). As a result of this operation, the mobile phone transmits an infrared command to the television through the infrared transmission/reception unit 700 to indicate the termination of Internet display (step 508).

Upon receiving the infrared command, the television stops displaying the Internet site (step 518). Further, the television starts IrDA communication and requests the mobile phone to connect to IrDA communication (step 808). On the other hand, the mobile phone starts IrDA communication immediately after transmitting the infrared command in step 508, receives a request for connection of said IrDA communication from the television, and establishes connection of IrDA communication (step 809).

In response to the establishment of the communication connection, the television transmits the URL of the Internet site that was last displayed on the television to the cellular phone via the infrared transmitting/receiving section 600 (step 519). The mobile phone receives the URL (step 509), and transmits data indicating successful reception of the URL to the television through IrDA communication (step 810). The television receives the data (step 811), terminates the IrDA communication by the infrared transmitting/receiving unit 600, and enters a state of accepting a normal infrared command received from a remote controller (not shown) or the like (step 812). In addition, the television displays the television program it was displaying before starting to display the Internet, such as screen display 403 (step 520).

On the other hand, the mobile phone, which has received the URL of the Internet site that was last displayed on the television, terminates communication by IrDA (step 813), accesses the Internet site of the URL, and displays it (step 510). At this time, the system control unit 301 changes some of the keys of the input unit 102 that have been used to operate the television from the mobile phone, and treats them as normal keys for operating the mobile phone (step 511). ). Further, the screen display is switched from, for example, screen display 404 to screen display 401, and the user continues browsing the Internet site displayed like screen display 401 (step 512).

In this way, the URL of the Internet site browsed by the mobile terminal 101 is transmitted to the Internet connection terminal 100 via infrared communication, the Internet connection terminal 100 that receives the URL displays the Internet site, and the user displays the Internet site. The Internet connection terminal 100 is operated using the mobile terminal 101 . Further, when transmitting these URLs and operation instructions, the television is operated using the mobile phone while switching between infrared command communication received by the television from a remote control or the like and IrDA communication, as described above.

As a result, the user can display the Internet site on a larger screen by a simple operation using only the mobile terminal 100 without having to operate the terminal to newly display the Internet site, and continue using the mobile terminal 100. can be used to operate the terminal that newly displayed the Internet site, and the user can smoothly switch the display of the Internet site between different terminals.

In the configuration of this embodiment, IrDA communication is used when the URL is transmitted, but other communication means may be used instead of IrDA communication.

In addition, in this embodiment, examples of the Internet connection terminal 100 include a television device, a set box device, and a DLNA compatible server. Points can be resolved.

For example, with general-purpose infrared commands used in television devices, the types of commands that can be transmitted and received are limited, or the communication speed is limited. On the other hand, a URL or a signal indicating operation information has a larger amount of information than a signal that is transmitted and received simply for turning on/off the power with a remote control. For this reason, when a general-purpose infrared command is used, there is a problem that the URL and operation information cannot be transmitted/received between the mobile terminal and the information processing device, or even if it is possible, it takes time to transmit/receive the information.

On the other hand, when performing communication conforming to IrDA, it is necessary to establish communication between the mobile terminal 101 and the Internet connection terminal 100 in order to transmit and receive information. Therefore, when communication is not switched from a general-purpose command to IrDA, the information processing device must always be in a state of waiting for communication by IrDA. If the connection is always established, a problem arises in that the Internet connection terminal 100 cannot perform infrared communication with other devices.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, communication is switched by using a general-purpose infrared command as a trigger.

In this embodiment, communication by IrDA is explained as an example, but it is also possible to use, for example, communication by Bluetooth, wireless communication such as wireless LAN, and short-range communication such as communication by sound waves. This embodiment is particularly useful when performing communication using a communication method that requires a communication link to be established for information transmission/reception.

In this embodiment, an Internet site has been described as an example of content information, but the present embodiment is not limited to this, and information indicating other content such as television programs may be used. Further, although the URL has been described as an example of the identification information, the identification information is not limited to this. For example, information indicating the channel of a television program may be used as the identification information.

Next, Example 3 will be described. In this embodiment, when the Internet connection terminal 100 and the mobile terminal 101 of the first embodiment transmit and receive URLs and various operation instructions, not only the Internet site indicated by the URL is displayed, but also the mobile terminal 101 A method for realizing the operation of handing over the Internet site display from the mobile terminal 101 to the Internet connection apparatus 100 will be described.

Here, the displayed state refers to, for example, a state in which a screen after login is displayed on the mobile terminal 101 for an Internet site that requires authentication. In addition, the displayed state refers to, for example, a changed display state in an Internet site where the content display state changes dynamically without changing the URL.

Information indicating the display state includes, for example, information indicating the history of user operations that have affected the display on the display unit 305 . Information indicating the display state may include information that is not included in the URL but that affects the display on the display screen 305 when browsing the Internet site. Information indicating the display state may also be information indicating character encoding such as Shift-JIS, EUC, or UTF-8. Also, for example, a cookie may be used as the information indicating the display state. The information indicating the display state is information indicating the position of the pointer, the position of the scroll bar, etc. displayed on the display unit 305 when the display is switched when the Internet site is displayed on the mobile terminal 101. It's okay. Also, the position of the pointer or the like may be information indicating the relative position of the pointer on the display screen. As a result, even if the sizes of the display areas of the mobile terminal 101 and the Internet connection terminal 100 are different, the relative positions can be reproduced on the Internet connection terminal 100 .

This embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. In this description, an example of handing over an Internet site involving authentication processing from the mobile terminal 101 to the Internet connection terminal 100 will be described. Further, in the following description, the same reference numerals are given to the parts equivalent to those in the previous embodiment, and the explanation thereof will be omitted to avoid duplication.

FIG. 9 shows an example of data components and contents of an operation history 900 of user operations on the Internet site recorded by the mobile terminal 101 when the user browses the Internet site that requires authentication processing in this embodiment. The mobile terminal 101 stores the operation history 900 in the data storage unit 303 .

Information included in this operation history 900 includes, for example, character strings entered in text boxes, information indicating buttons and icons clicked on Internet sites, and information indicating contents selected on list boxes. . The information included in the operation history 900 may also include information indicating a URL displayed as a result of such an operation.

FIG. 10 shows the data of the operation history 1000 of the user's operations on the Internet content recorded by the mobile terminal 101 when the user browses the Internet content whose content dynamically changes without changing the URL in this embodiment. An example of components and contents is shown, and the mobile terminal 101 stores the operation history 1000 in the data storage unit 303 . The operation history 1000 includes, for example, information indicating the clicked coordinate position.

FIG. 11 shows transmission data 1100 that the mobile terminal 101 transmits to the Internet connection terminal 100 in this embodiment. , an Internet site URL 1102 and an operation history 900 .

The operation of this embodiment will be described below with reference to the flow charts of FIGS. 9, 10, 11 and 12. FIG. In this embodiment, the mobile terminal 101, for example, when the Internet site browsed by the user is an Internet site with authentication processing, an Internet content whose contents change dynamically without changing the URL, etc. An operation history 900 of user operations on Internet sites is recorded. Further, in the same manner as in the first embodiment, when transmitting the URL of the Internet site to the Internet connection terminal 100, the mobile terminal 101 transmits transmission data 1100 including the operation history 900 in addition to the URL. do. Further, the Internet connection terminal 100 receives the transmission data 1100, accesses the Internet site indicated by the URL, performs the same operation as the user operation indicated by the operation history 900 on the displayed Internet site, It displays the Internet site in the state where the operation is finished.

FIG. 12 is the flowchart of FIG. 5 used in Example 1 of the present invention, with steps indicated by thick frames added. As in FIG. 5, FIG. 12 shows the operation of the mobile terminal 101 in a frame 500, and the operation of the Internet connection terminal 100 in a frame 513. The flow of operations within frame 513 will be described in parallel. In other words, the flow of operations of the mobile terminal 101 and the Internet connection terminal 100 and the relationship between the flow of operations of both terminals will be described at the same time. Further, in the following description, the mobile terminal 101 is taken as an example of a mobile phone, and the Internet connection terminal 100 is taken as an example of a television having an Internet connection function.

In this embodiment, when the user browses the Internet site in step 502, the mobile phone updates the operation history 900 and the operation history 1000 each time the user performs an operation such as selection or input on the Internet site. It is recorded in the data storage unit 209 (step 1201).

At this time, the mobile phone does not need to record the operation history 900 and the operation history 1000 of all Internet sites browsed by the user. , or the Internet site is dynamically generated by a function such as ASP (Active Server Pages), or interactive content such as so-called FLASH (registered trademark) is included in the configuration information of the document of the displayed Internet site. When included, the operation history 900 and the operation history 1000 may be recorded only for these Internet sites. When an Internet site contains FLASH or ASP content, the tag is defined in the source file, so the mobile phone can distinguish the type of site from this tag.

Also, even if the Internet site is a dynamically generated Internet site or the like, it is not necessary to store all the operation histories in the operation history 1100 . Among the operation histories, a configuration may be adopted in which a history relating to operations that change the display is recorded. For example, if the Internet site includes dynamic FLASH content, the operation history may be configured to record operations such as clicks and character string inputs performed on the dynamic content.

Next, in this embodiment, in step 503, when the user attempts to browse the Internet site on the television and selects the button corresponding to the button display 402 displayed in the display unit 305 of the mobile phone, The mobile phone configures transmission data 1100 including the URL 1102 of the Internet site that is the starting point for recording the operation history 900 or 1000, the operation history 900 or 1000, and further adding header data 1101. and transmits the transmission data 1100 to the television. Also, the system control unit 301 controls the display unit 305 and the like so as to end the display of the Internet site on the mobile terminal after transmitting the URL.

On the other hand, when the television receives the transmission data 1100 (step 1203), it accesses the Internet site of the URL 1102, performs the operation indicated by the operation history 900 or the operation history 1000 on the Internet site, and performs the operation. The Internet site in the state after going is displayed (step 1204).

In steps 509 and 519, the same method as described above is used when the URL is transmitted from the television to the mobile phone, and the terminal that accesses the Internet site and displays is returned to the mobile phone.

In this way, when an Internet site viewed by a user on a mobile phone is an Internet site with authentication processing, or an Internet content whose content changes dynamically without changing the URL, the television does not store data. The operation history 900 and the operation history 1000 of the user's operations on the Internet site are recorded in the unit 209 . Further, the television transmits transmission data 1100 including the URL of the Internet site that is the starting point for recording the operation history 900 and the operation history 1000 and the operation history 900 and the operation history 1000 to the television. Also, the television receives the transmission data 1100, accesses the Internet site indicated by the URL, performs the operation indicated by the operation history 900 and the operation history 1000, and completes the operation. is displayed.

As a result, when switching access to the same Internet site between different terminals, the user can determine whether the Internet site being browsed is an Internet site that requires authentication processing, or the content can be changed dynamically without changing the URL. Even in the case of changing Internet contents, it is possible to smoothly switch access to a terminal that newly accesses an Internet site without performing authentication processing or content operation again.

Further, when a URL is transmitted from a mobile phone to an information processing device such as a television without transmitting display information, the information processing device does not allow the Internet site indicated by the URL to affect the display. It will be displayed in a state in which no operation has been performed. Therefore, the more complicated the structure of the Internet site, the more operations are required from simply transmitting the displayed URL to reflecting the operation on the mobile phone. According to the mobile terminal 101 and the Internet connection terminal 100 of the example, it is possible to reduce the trouble of the operation.

Each embodiment has been described above. In place of the mobile terminal 101, other information processing terminals can be used to smoothly switch access between communication via the Internet and a plurality of terminals.
