  Based on the input from the operation unit 13, the control unit 10 instructs the display unit 12 to display the web page A (step S101). Next, the control unit 10 checks whether or not the URL of the web page A is stored in the rendering processing time storage unit 21 (step S103).

  When the URL of the web page A is not stored in the rendering processing time storage unit 21 (“No” in step S103), the rendering processing time is naturally not stored, so the web page A is displayed for the first time on the portable terminal 1. Or it is a page that has been displayed before but has not remained in the history. The rendering processing unit 101 of the control unit 10 starts the rendering process of the web page A, and the clock unit 18 stores the start time in the storage unit 16 (step S113). When the display of the web page A is completed (“Yes” in step S115), the clock unit 18 stores the end time in the storage unit 16 (step S117). Next, the processing time acquisition unit 102 acquires the rendering processing start time and end time stored in the storage unit 16 in steps S113 and S117, and calculates the rendering processing time by taking the difference (step S119). Next, the control unit 10 stores the URL of the web page A and the corresponding rendering processing time calculated in step S119 in the rendering processing time storage unit 21 (step S121).

  When the display of the web page A is instructed in step S101, if the URL of the web page A is stored in the rendering processing time storage unit 21 (“Yes” in step S103), the processing time acquisition unit 102 renders With reference to the processing time storage unit 21, the rendering processing time of the web page A is acquired (step S105). Next, the control unit 10 acquires a threshold t for rendering processing time from the storage unit 16 (step S107).

And the URL of the web page A are stored in the rendering processing time storage unit 21. Next, based on the input from the operation unit 13, the control unit 10 displays the web page B on the display unit 12 (step S203), and similarly calculates the rendering processing time. At this time, the control unit 10 extracts a plurality of keywords from the text in the web page B based on the keyword-specific importance set in advance, and transmits the extracted keywords to a search server (not shown). The result of search using each keyword is acquired (step S205). The keyword-specific importance is based on, for example, a topical event or a trendy event, a dictionary stored in the mobile terminal, or data such as past website browsing history. It is determined by operating a predetermined algorithm.

  Next, the control unit 10 extracts a number of URL lists set in advance according to a predetermined priority from the plurality of URL lists related to the web page B acquired by performing the keyword search in step S205, and the related information storage unit 22 (step S206). The priority of the URL is also determined by operating a predetermined algorithm in the mobile terminal 1. For example, a URL where a large number of keywords appearing frequently on the website B, or a URL where a large number of keywords related to the topic appear, is set to have a higher priority.

  Next, the control unit 10 instructs redisplay of the web page A displayed in step S201 based on the input from the operation unit 13 (step S207). As described above, since the rendering processing time of the web page A is longer than the threshold value t, the control unit 10 displays the URL list stored in the related information storage unit 22 in step S206 on the display unit 12 as related information (step S209). ). When the display of the web page A is completed (“Yes” in step S211), the process ends. Therefore, the user can visually recognize the URL list as the related information of the web page B during the rendering process in which the screen transition from the web page B to the web page A is performed.

  Note that when one of the URL lists displayed as related information during the rendering process is selected, a web page corresponding to the selected URL may be displayed.
