JP5106780B2 - Web page display method, browser device, and web page display program - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a web page display method, a browser device, and a web page display program.

  In the conventional browser device, for example, a web page (hereinafter also simply referred to as a page) is displayed according to the flowchart shown in FIG. That is, first, an HTML description is acquired from a web server via a network (step S101), the contents are stored in a cache memory (step S102), the acquired HTML description is analyzed (step S103), and the analysis result is obtained. The page is displayed (step S106) by performing inline image acquisition (step S104) and page image creation (step S105).

  In this conventional browser device, when a transition is made to the link destination posted on the page being displayed, the transitioned page is stored in the cache memory, so the user can move quickly to the desired hierarchy of the link sequence that has transitioned. can do.

  However, even if there is a link on the displayed page, the link destination that the user has not transitioned to is not stored in the cache, so if you try to view a link series page that has not transitioned, communication will be required. Therefore, it takes time to transition to the link destination.

  In addition, the conventional browser device installed in the mobile terminal is required to perform communication even when the link sequence is once changed to another link sequence and then returned to the original link sequence. It takes more time to browse the pages.

  As a method for solving such a problem, for example, a link destination specified by the user while the user is browsing the page is preloaded in the cache memory (see, for example, Patent Document 1), or the home page being displayed is started. By prefetching the homepage linked to the current homepage according to the page hierarchical structure configured by linking and storing it in the cache memory (for example, see Patent Document 2), the transition to the link destination is accelerated. The thing which aimed at is known.

  However, the browser device disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a problem that it takes time and effort for the user because the user needs to specify a link destination to be preloaded.

  Further, in the browser device disclosed in the above-mentioned patent document 2, since a list of candidates for hierarchical link destination pages is created and pre-read within the range allowed by the capacity of the cache memory, links unnecessary for the user are created. It will be read ahead. Therefore, for example, when a user searches for a desired link destination and moves, there are cases where there are too many pre-read link destinations, which are inconvenient.

  Furthermore, even if a link destination specified by the user is analyzed in advance as disclosed in Patent Document 1 or a hierarchical link destination page is prefetched as disclosed in Patent Document 2, a highly relevant page is displayed. When browsing, if there is no other relevant page link on the displayed page between those pages, the top page where the other relevant link is listed It is necessary to go back to the hierarchy once. In other words, even if there are a plurality of highly related pages, if the link series to each page is different, it is necessary to return to a higher hierarchy where the link destinations for all pages are displayed.

  For example, after transitioning from the “Kanagawa Prefecture Weather” page to the lower level “Yokohama Weather”, if you try to view the related “Kawasaki Weather” at the same level, If the link destination to “Kawasaki weather” is not listed, it is necessary to return to the “Kanagawa prefecture weather” page at the upper level and then transition to “Kawasaki weather”.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a browser device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The browser device 1 includes a computer, stores a page acquisition unit 2 that is a page acquisition unit that acquires a web page from a network or a recording device, and stores various types of information such as a display program. The storage unit 3 that is a storage unit having a cache memory function for caching the page acquired by the unit 2 and accompanying information, the display unit 4 that is a display unit that displays page and link information, and receives input from the user It has an operation unit 5 and a control unit 6 that processes data according to a program stored in the storage unit 3 and controls the operation of each unit.

  In the present embodiment, the control unit 6 analyzes a link sequence different from the link sequence to which the current page being displayed on the display unit 4 belongs, based on the reference page, based on the information cached in the storage unit 3. The link information generating means 7 for generating link information to a web page belonging to a different link sequence in the same hierarchy as the current page, and the link information generated by the link information generating means 7 are displayed on the display unit 4 together with the current page. Display control means 8.

  FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a web page display operation by the browser device 1 shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, the number of effective links is basically between the HTML analysis process in step S103 and the inline image acquisition process in step S104 with respect to the flowchart of the conventional browser device shown in FIG. An analysis process (step S10) and a reference page determination process (step S30) are executed, and an effective link sequence analysis process (step S50) is performed between the inline image acquisition process in step S104 and the page image creation process in step S105. ). The effective link number analysis process, the reference page determination process, and the effective link sequence analysis process are executed by the link information generation means 7 of the control unit 6, and thereby the web page belonging to a different link sequence in the same hierarchy as the current page is processed. Link information is generated and displayed on the display unit 4 together with the current page under the control of the display control means 8.

  Here, in the effective link number analysis processing in step S10, whether or not the link destination is an effective link destination is determined according to a determination condition such as whether or not the URL of the link destination in the current page is similar to the URL of the current page. If the link destination is valid, the number is counted, and the URL and page information (HTML description) are cached.

  Further, in the reference page determination process in step S30, the link destination is analyzed based on the user setting, the number of effective links analyzed in step S10, or the number of times (page display count) the transition base point to the effective link destination. A page serving as a base point, that is, a reference page is determined.

  The reference page determined by the reference page determination process includes a reference page in the link sequence that the user is looking at (referred to here as the reference page) and a reference in the link sequence that is automatically analyzed. There are two types of pages (referred to herein as temporary reference pages).

  Further, in the effective link sequence analysis processing in step S50, a page having the same hierarchy as the current page in the effective link sequence different from the current page is automatically analyzed, and the analysis result is cached in the storage unit 3 and the control unit 6 is reflected on the display unit 4 being browsed by the user via the display control means 8. In the effective link sequence analysis process, when a reference page is found in the effective link sequence, the analysis is terminated, and the found reference page is reflected on the display unit 4 as a temporary reference page.

  Next, specific operations of the browser device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, description will be made assuming that the number of effective links to be determined as the reference page is five.

  FIG. 3 is a transition diagram between browsers, and A to K represent pages. Here, pages B, C, and D are the same effective link sequence, and pages E and F are the same effective link sequence. Further, when viewed from page A, pages B, E, pages C, F, pages D, G, H, I, J, K are in the same hierarchy. Here, the same hierarchy means that the shortest number of transitions from the reference page to the page is the same. In the transition diagram shown below, the reference page is represented by diagonal lines, the currently analyzed page is represented by a mesh, and the cached page is represented by a horizontal line.

  FIG. 4 shows a transition model diagram corresponding to FIG. 3, but detailed display of the models is omitted for pages G to K. It is assumed that the user first sets the page opened by the user as a reference page.

  In FIG. 3, page A is the main reference page, and when the user opens this page A for the first time, it automatically becomes the reference page. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5, when the user transitions from page A to page B, the link information generation means 7 analyzes page E in the same hierarchy as page B in the effective link sequence from page A. Then, the information is cached in the storage unit 3 together with the information of the page B to generate link information to the page E, and the generated link information to the page E is controlled by the display control means 8. As shown in FIG. 6, it is displayed on the display unit 4 in an area different from the display area of page B.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 6, the link information displayed on the display unit 4 has the page E information cached in the storage unit 3 by the effective link sequence analysis process. By selecting link information to E, transition from page B to page E can be made at high speed. Note that if the page B being browsed by the user originally has a link to the generated page E, the display control means 8 controls the page B not to be displayed in another area.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7, when the user transitions from page B to page C, the link information generation unit 7 analyzes the page E cached in the storage unit 3, and the same level as page C in the effective link sequence. The page F information is cached in the storage unit 3 and the link information to the page F is displayed on the display unit 4 on the display unit 4 as shown in FIG. It is displayed in another area. Therefore, by selecting the link information F from the display state of FIG. 8, it is possible to move from the page C to the page F at high speed.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 9, when the user transitions from page C to page D, page F has five valid links, so a new reference page is obtained by reference page determination processing in link information generation means 7. (Temporary reference page) is set, and the analysis below the hierarchy is stopped. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, the link information of pages G to K that are in the same hierarchy as page D in the effective link series is not displayed in a different area from page D of display unit 4, but is a temporary reference page. Display link information to F.

  Thereafter, when the user selects link information F from the display state of FIG. 10, the page D transitions to the page F, and when the user further transitions from the page F to the page G, the pages H and I in the same hierarchy as the page G , J, and K are analyzed, and link information to these pages is displayed in a different area from the page G of the display unit 4 under the control of the display control means 8 as shown in FIG. F, displayed together with link information to the previous reference page A and page D that is the transition base point to the current link series. Here, the page once determined as the reference page is displayed in another area under the control of the display control means 8 as long as it does not overlap with the link information originally present on the page being displayed.

  Thereafter, when the user transitions from page G to page H, the display unit 4 displays pages G, I, J, K, reference page F, and previous reference in the same area as page H as shown in FIG. Displayed together with link information to page A and page D, which is the transition base point to the current link series.

  If the number of link information displayed in another area increases, the link information to be displayed is the link information in the same hierarchy, the link information of the upper hierarchy that is the return destination, the link information to the reference page, The link information to the previous reference page, the link information to the page that became the transition base point to the current link series, etc. may be arbitrarily deleted by the user, or automatically in the order of preset low priority It may be deleted. The priority may be set by the user in advance.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the link information generating unit 7 caches the page information in the other link series in the same hierarchy as the current page being browsed by the user, using the reference page as a base point. Since the link information to the page is generated and the generated link information is displayed in an area different from the current page under the control of the display control means 8, the link information can be selected with a simple operation. , It is possible to make a high-speed transition to a page of the same level that is considered to be highly related to the current page. Therefore, it is particularly effective in a portable terminal or the like where a simple operation is preferable. Even if the page moves to a page in the same hierarchy, since the link sequence information up to that page is cached, high-speed transition is possible with the effective link sequence.

  In addition, when the link information generated by the effective link sequence analysis matches the link destination that is originally on the page that the user is viewing, it is not displayed in another area, so that useless link destination display can be eliminated. At the same time, when the temporary reference page is detected during the effective link sequence analysis, the link sequence is not analyzed any more, so the number of analyzes does not increase explosively.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, Many change or deformation | transformation is possible. For example, in the above embodiment, a page of the same level as the current page being displayed is cached and the link information is displayed together with the current page. However, if the page of the same level is cached, the page is posted on the page. Link information, that is, link information to a lower hierarchy page can be displayed together with link information to the same hierarchy page in a different area from the current page.

  Also, without caching the same hierarchy page, the upper hierarchy page is cached, and link information to the current page and the same hierarchy page is generated from the link information posted on the cached upper hierarchy page. It can also be displayed in a separate area from the current page.

  Further, the present invention provides a page display procedure for causing a computer to cache and display a web page, and a link sequence different from the link sequence to which the current page being displayed belongs based on the reference page as a base point to analyze the link sequence. A link information generation procedure for generating link information to web pages belonging to different link sequences in the link information display procedure for displaying the link information generated in the link information generation procedure together with the display of the current page by the page display procedure; It can also be implemented as a web page display program for executing the above.

It is a block diagram which shows schematic structure of the browser apparatus which concerns on one embodiment of this invention. It is a flowchart which shows the display operation of the web page by the browser apparatus shown in FIG. It is a transition diagram between browsers for demonstrating the specific operation | movement of the browser apparatus shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a transition model diagram corresponding to FIG. 3.
