  Hereinafter, a display processing apparatus and a display processing method according to the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a display processing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the display processing device of this embodiment is built in a terminal device 10 such as a mobile phone or a personal computer. The display processing apparatus includes a control unit 11, a control program storage unit 12, a memory 13, an operation unit (input unit) 14, and a display unit 15. The terminal device 10 includes other components such as a wireless communication unit including a circuit related to an antenna and communication, and a power source, but the description thereof is omitted here.

  The control unit 11 includes a CPU, and executes processing according to the control program stored in the control program storage unit 12. The control unit 11 includes, for example, a page dividing unit 11A and a small page number setting unit 11B. The small page number setting unit 11B, for example, based on an input from the operation unit 14, page information for specifying the browsing page, and a browsing page division request having the number of divisions when dividing the browsing page into a plurality of small pages. Is generated. The small page number setting unit 11B outputs the browsing page division request to the page division unit 11A. Upon receiving the browsing page division request, the page dividing unit 11A divides the browsing page into the number of small pages indicated in the division request.

  When the number of divisions is not indicated in the browse page division request, the control unit 11 can set a predetermined number of divisions, for example, “10” (default setting). In this embodiment, a method of dividing the browsing page into 10 small pages of the same size is adopted (see FIG. 2). That is, the page dividing unit 11A divides the entire display area of the browsing page into areas having a certain ratio. However, the division method is not particularly limited. It is also possible to measure the data amount for each predetermined area of the browse page and divide the browse page into small pages so that the data amount of each small page is equal.

  The control unit 11 may include a browsing page size determination unit 11C that determines whether the size of the browsing page is a size that can be displayed on the display unit 15 at a time. The browsing page size determination unit 11C will be described in the second embodiment.

  In addition, the control unit 11 assigns each divided small page to different numbers on a one-to-one basis, determines whether the number input by the operation unit 14 has been pressed for a predetermined time or longer, and is input. If it is determined that the number has been pressed for a predetermined time or longer, a small page assigned to correspond to the number is output to the display unit 15 and displayed on the display unit 15. That is, the control unit 11 includes an allocation unit and a long press determination unit (not shown in FIG. 1). The long press time can be set by a user operation. In FIG. 2, each of the small pages assigned to the numbers “1” to “10” is represented by using reference numerals “1” to “10”.

  The control program storage unit 12 is configured by a ROM, and stores a control program for executing processing performed by the control unit 11.

  The memory 13 is composed of a RAM, and has a data storage area 131, a divided page storage area 132, a key state storage area 133, and a work area (not shown). The data storage area 131 stores browsing pages that constitute information data on the display unit 15 by the user. The browsing page has, for example, page information “ABCDEF.DAT” as information for specifying this page. Such browsing pages include browser information input from other terminal devices via the antenna, data such as mail and memo pad, data created by the user, and external information composed of recorded data such as a CD-ROM. There is a page consisting of data.

  In the divided page storage area 132, for example, small pages “1” to “10” shown in FIG. The small page is information for specifying the small page, for example, when the browse page is “ABCDEF.DAT” and is the third of the ten pages divided into ten small pages. Has small page information of “ABCDEF.DAT-3”. Here, “−3” indicates a small page corresponding to “3” among the small pages “1” to “10” generated by dividing the browsing page “ABCDEF.DAT”. .

  In the key state storage area 133, when a small page designated by the user is browsed, the number of long press times input from the operation unit for designating the corresponding small page is stored. For example, when the long press time is “3” seconds, “3” is stored. The work area is a storage area required when the control unit 11 performs processing.

  The operation unit 14 is a device for inputting an operation to be executed by the terminal device 10 according to this embodiment, and includes a pointing device such as a mouse, a keyboard having a numeric keypad, an enter key, a numeric key, and the like. The display unit 15 includes a liquid crystal display device, and displays browsing pages, small pages, and other display contents.

  Next, operations of the display processing device and the terminal device 10 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing operations of the display processing device and the terminal device according to the embodiment. When the user acquires a browsing page of predetermined data information from a browser or the like, the operation unit 14 specifies “ABCDEF.DAT” as page information for specifying the browsing page by a user operation. Then, the page is displayed by the display unit 15, and the page is further stored in the data storage area 131 (step S101). The browsing page can be acquired, for example, via the wireless communication unit of the display processing device.

  When a browsing page division request having “10” as the number of divisions when dividing the browsing page into small pages is output to the small page number setting unit 11B of the control unit 11 by the user's operation described above (step S102). The control unit 11 stores the division number “10” indicated in the input browse page division request in the work area.

  Next, the page division unit 11A of the control unit 11 reads the browsing page “ABCDEF.DAT” indicated in the browsing page division request from the data storage area 131 and divides it into small pages corresponding to the division number “10” ( Step S103). Next, an allocation unit (not shown) of the control unit 11 allocates each divided small page to 1 to 10 different numbers on a one-to-one basis, and allocates these allocated small pages to the divided page storage area 132. (Step S104). Here, for example, the second allocated small page has small page information “ABCDEF.DAT-2”.

  Thereafter, when the user inputs, for example, the number “2” of the number keys indicating what is desired to be browsed from the small pages, the operation unit 14 indicates that the input number “2” has been pressed. Output to. The long press determination unit (not shown in FIG. 1) of the control unit 11 stores the number “2” in the work area when the fact that the number “2” is pressed is input from the operation unit 14, and the key state. The long press time “3” stored in the storage area 133 is read and the time when the number 2 is pressed, that is, the time until the number “2” disappears after the signal indicating the number “2” is input, for example, “3”. It is determined whether the second has passed (step S105).

  For example, when the long press determination unit of the control unit 11 determines that “3” seconds have not elapsed (step S105; NO), the small page browsing process is terminated, whereas “3” seconds have elapsed. Is determined (step S105; YES), a small page “ABCDEF.DAT- × (where x is 1 to 10) corresponding to“ 1 ”to“ 10 ”stored in the divided page storage area 132. “Any number”), the small pages “ABCDEF.DAT-2” corresponding to the number “2” and the small pages “ABCDEF.DAT− corresponding to the number“ 3 ”are displayed as small pages on the display unit 15. Of the small pages “ABCDEF.DAT-4” corresponding to 3 ”and the number“ 4 ”, only the head portion that can be displayed on the display unit 15 is read (step S106), and is output to the display unit 15 as shown in FIG. Top point of Figure 2 Line portion, indicated with reference numeral 2A). The display unit 15 displays these small pages (step S107) and ends the small page browsing process.

  In the example of FIG. 2, when the number “10” is pressed and the last small page “ABCDEF.DAT-10” is read, the page is displayed on the screen (see the lower part of FIG. 2). A dotted line portion, indicated by reference numeral 10A), and a lower display area remain. In this case, an image display indicating that there is no portion to be displayed such as black display is performed on the display unit 15 (shown using a hatched portion in FIG. 2 and reference numeral 10B).

  According to the display processing apparatus 10 of this embodiment, since the display unit 15 displays small pages divided by the dividing unit corresponding to the number input by the operation unit 14, when browsing the information data, Only one operation is required until the desired page portion is displayed, and the browsing operation can be made more efficient. As a result, it is possible to eliminate unnecessary time and operation until the location of the page that the user desires to browse is displayed, and to eliminate the operation stress applied to the user.

  Moreover, according to the display processing apparatus 10 of this embodiment, since the number of small pages to be divided by the control unit 11 is set based on the number input from the operation unit 14, the number of small pages desired by the user can be freely set. Can be set to

  The display processing device 10 described above simultaneously displays a small number of small pages to be displayed on the display unit 15 in addition to the small pages corresponding to the number specified by the operation unit 14. This is because the display unit 15 can display 2/10 the size of the browse page “ABCDEF.DAT”. As another method, instead of the user inputting the number of divisions in step S102 described above, the control unit 11 automatically sets the number of divisions based on the size of the small page that can be displayed on one screen of the display unit 15. The browsing page may be divided in step S103.

  By adopting such a configuration, the control unit 11 divides it into a plurality of small pages having a size for displaying one screen, so that only the small pages assigned to the number input by the operation unit 14 are displayed on the display unit 15. Can be displayed.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, the configuration and operation of the display processing device and the terminal device 10 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, the entire browsing page is not divided into a predetermined number of small pages, but small pages are displayed according to the size of the display unit 15 (size of one screen).

  The configuration of the terminal device 10 including the display processing device of the second embodiment is basically the same as the configuration of the terminal device 10 included in the display processing device of the first embodiment. Components similar to those described in the embodiment will be omitted from the description.

  As shown in FIG. 1, in the terminal device 10 of the second embodiment, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the size of the browsing page is a size that can be displayed on the display unit 15 at a time. Part 11C. When the size of the browsing page is larger than the size that can be displayed on the display unit 15 at a time, the browsing page size determination unit 11C determines that the size of the browsing page is not a size that can be displayed on the display unit 15 at a time. Is output to the page dividing unit 11A including a command to divide the page into small pages. This browsing page division request may not include the number of divisions when the browsing page is divided into a plurality of small pages. That is, when the control unit 11 has the browsing page size determination unit 11C as in the present embodiment, the control unit 11 has a small page number setting unit 11B for setting how many small pages the browsing page is divided into. It does not have to be. In the present embodiment, the page dividing unit 11A that has received the browsing page division request starts with a predetermined position in the browsing page as a starting point, and displays a plurality of browsing pages for each size that can be displayed on the display unit 15 at a time. Divide into small pages.

  Here, the browsing page size determination unit 11C calculates, for example, the number of pixels (pixel number) P1 of the browsing page, and compares the number of pixels P1 of the browsing page with the number of pixels P2 of the display unit of the mobile terminal. If it is ≦ P2, it is determined that the size of the browsing page is a size that can be displayed on the display unit 15 at a time. On the other hand, if P1> P2, it is determined that the size of the browse page is not a size that can be displayed on the display unit 15 at a time. A known method can be used as the calculation method of P1. The terminal device 10 may calculate the P1 before displaying the browsing page, or may calculate the P1 while displaying the browsing page.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing operations of the display processing device and the terminal device according to the second embodiment. When the user acquires a browsing page of predetermined data information from a browser or the like, the operation unit 14 specifies “ABCDEF.DAT” as page information for specifying the browsing page and acquires the browsing page by a user operation. Start (step S201). The acquired data of the browsing page is sequentially stored in the data storage area 131.

  In the browsing page acquisition process, when the browsing page size determination unit 11C of the control unit 11 determines that the page is too large to be displayed on the display unit 15 at a time, the browsing page division request is sent to the page division unit 11A. (Step S202). Then, the page dividing unit 11A reads the stored data of the browse page “ABCDEF.DAT” from the data storage area 131, and divides the data for each size of the display unit 15 (step S203). The dividing unit of the control unit 11 assigns each small page in a one-to-one correspondence to different numbers from 1 to N corresponding to the number N of divided small pages, and divides these assigned small pages into divided pages. Store in the storage area 132 (step S204). Here, for example, the second allocated small page has small page information “ABCDEF.DAT-2”.

  First, the control unit 11 displays the first small page on the display unit 15 (step S205). Thereafter, when the user inputs, for example, the number “2” of the number keys indicating what is desired to be browsed from the small pages, the operation unit 14 indicates that the input number “2” has been pressed. Output to. The long press determination unit of the control unit 11 stores the number “2” in the work area and the key state storage area 133 when the operation unit 14 inputs that the number “2” is pressed. Whether or not the time until the number 2 is pressed, that is, the time until it disappears after the signal indicating the number “2” is input, for example, “3” seconds, is read Is determined (step S206).

  The long press determination unit of the control unit 11 determines whether or not the long pressed key is a numeric key (step S207). If the key is not a numeric key (step S207; NO), the process is terminated. On the other hand, if the key is a numeric key (step S207; YES), the control unit 11 determines whether or not browsing data for a small page designated by long press has already been acquired and stored in the divided page storage area 132. Is determined (step S208), and if already acquired and stored (step S208; YES), the small page is read and displayed on the display unit 15 (step S210). On the other hand, when it is determined that the small page has not yet been acquired (step S208; NO), the control unit 11 reads the designated small page (step S209) and displays it on the display unit 15 (step S210). As a result, the small page “2” is output to the display unit 15 as shown in FIG. The displayed area is indicated by reference numeral 2A in FIG. In the present embodiment, the size of each small page corresponds to the size of the display unit 15.

  In the above-described embodiment, when a key corresponding to a small page is pressed for a predetermined time or longer via the operation unit 14, the small page assigned to correspond to this number is displayed on the display unit 15. An output configuration is adopted (hereinafter referred to as “long press mode”). However, the method for specifying the small page to be displayed is not limited to the long press of the key, and other methods can be used. For example, a specific small page can be designated by a combination of two or more keys.

  Although FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 show the case where the browsing page is divided into a plurality of small pages along one direction (vertical direction), the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this. In the embodiment of the present invention, the browsing page may be divided into a plurality of small pages along two or more directions.

(Third embodiment)
In the third embodiment, for example, the browsing page is divided into a plurality of small pages along a first direction F (vertical direction) and a second direction S (horizontal direction). Hereinafter, the operation of the terminal apparatus 10 having the display processing apparatus of the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 6. Since the terminal device 10 of the third embodiment basically performs the same operation as the operation described with reference to FIG. 3 in the first embodiment described above, the first embodiment will be described below. The operations similar to those described in the above will be omitted. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a method of dividing a browse page into nine small pages along a first direction F (vertical direction) and a second direction S (horizontal direction).

  In the present embodiment, in step S <b> 102, a browse page division request having “9” as a division number for dividing the browse page into small pages is output to the small page number setting unit 11 </ b> B of the control unit 11.

  In step S103, the page dividing unit 11A of the control unit 11 reads the browsing page “ABCDEF.DAT” indicated in the browsing page dividing request from the data storage area 131 and divides it into small pages corresponding to the dividing number “9”. . At this time, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, the page dividing unit 11 </ b> A has a total of 9 browsing pages, 3 in the first direction F (vertical direction) and 3 in the second direction S (horizontal direction). Divide into small pages. The angle formed by the first direction F and the second direction S is approximately 90 degrees. Each of the nine small pages has the same length in the first direction F. Each of the nine small pages has the same length in the second direction S. Each of the 9 small pages is a rectangle of the same size. The size of the small page is larger than the size of the display unit 15 of the terminal device.

  In the above description, if a browsing page division request having “9” as the number of divisions is output to the control unit 11 in step S102, the number of browsing pages is three in the first direction F (vertical direction) and the first Although the case where the page is automatically divided into a total of 9 small pages in 3 in the direction S (lateral direction) of 2 has been described, the method of dividing the browsing page is not limited to this. For example, it may be possible to set how many small pages the viewing page is divided in the first direction F (vertical direction) and / or the second direction S (horizontal direction).

  In step S <b> 104, the control unit 11 assigns each divided small page to 1 to 9 different numbers on a one-to-one basis, and stores these assigned small pages in the divided page storage area 132. In FIG. 6, each of the small pages assigned to the numbers “1” to “9” is represented using reference numerals “1” to “9”. FIG. 6 shows an example in which numbers “1” to “9” are sequentially assigned to each small page starting from the left end of the browsing page, but the number assignment method is not limited to this.

  When the mobile phone described later with reference to FIG. 9 is used as the terminal device 10, in the division method shown in FIG. 6, the arrangement of the small pages corresponding to “1” to “9” with respect to the entire browsing page is The arrangement of numeric keys 25 “1” to “9” included in the operation unit 14 is the same. That is, the numeric keys included in the operation unit 14 of the mobile phone are arranged as 1, 2, 3, on the first line, 4, 5, 6 on the second line, and 7, 8, 9 on the third line. Therefore, the arrangement is the same as the arrangement of the small pages shown in FIG. In this case, there is an advantage that the user can easily understand the arrangement of the small pages with respect to the entire browsing page.

  In the terminal device 10 of this embodiment, the size of the small page is larger than the size of the display unit 15 of the terminal device 10. Therefore, for example, when “2” is input from the operation unit 14 as a number corresponding to a small page to be browsed, a part of the small page corresponding to “2” (reference numeral 2A in FIG. 6 is used as shown in FIG. 6). Is displayed on the display unit 15. The area initially displayed on the display unit 15 is, for example, a part (2A) at the upper left of the small page corresponding to “2”. The remaining portion 2B that is not displayed can be appropriately displayed by a method similar to the conventional method using, for example, a scroll key included in the operation unit 14 or the like.

(Fourth embodiment)
Similarly to the third embodiment, the fourth embodiment also divides the browsing page into a plurality of small pages along the first direction F (vertical direction) and the second direction S (horizontal direction). The fourth embodiment is different from the third embodiment mainly in that the browsing page is divided into small pages according to the size of the display unit 15 (size of one screen).

  Hereinafter, the operation of the terminal device 10 included in the display processing device of the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 7. Since the terminal device 10 of the fourth embodiment basically performs the same operation as the operation described with reference to FIG. 5 in the second embodiment described above, the second embodiment will be described below. The operations similar to those described in the above will be omitted. FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a method of dividing a browsing page into 20 small pages along a first direction F (vertical direction) and a second direction S (horizontal direction).

  In step S203, the page dividing unit 11A of the control unit 11 reads the stored data of the browse page “ABCDEF.DAT” from the data storage area 131, and divides the data for each size of the display unit 15 (step S203). ). In the case of FIG. 7, for example, the length of the entire browsing page in the first direction F is approximately more than 4 times and less than approximately 5 times the length of the display unit 15 in the first direction F. Further, the length of the entire browsing page in the second direction S is approximately four times the length of the display unit 15 in the second direction S. In this case, the control unit 11 makes the browsing page a total of 20 in the vertical direction F and 4 in the horizontal direction S along the first direction F (vertical direction) and the second direction S (horizontal direction). Is divided into small pages. The angle formed by the first direction F and the second direction S is approximately 90 degrees.

  In step S204, in correspondence with the number of divided small pages 20, each small page is assigned in a one-to-one correspondence with a different number from 1 to 20, and these assigned small pages are assigned to the divided page storage area 132. Remember. In FIG. 7, the small pages assigned to the numbers “1” to “20” are represented using reference numerals “1” to “20”. FIG. 7 shows an example in which numbers “1” to “20” are sequentially assigned to each small page starting from the left end of the browsing page, but the number assignment method is not limited to this.

  Each of the small pages corresponding to “1” to “16” is a rectangle having the same size as the display unit 15. That is, each of the small pages corresponding to “1” to “16” has the length in the first direction F equal to the length in the first direction F of the display unit 15. The length in the second direction S is equal to the length in the second direction S of the display unit 15. Each of the small pages corresponding to “1” to “16” is a rectangle of the same size. Each of the small pages corresponding to “17” to “20” is smaller than the size of the display unit 15. That is, each of the small pages corresponding to “17” to “20” has a length in the first direction F that is smaller than a length in the first direction F of the display unit 15. In addition, the length in the second direction S is smaller than the length in the second direction S of the display unit 15.

  For example, when “2” is input from the operation unit 14 as a number corresponding to the small page to be browsed, the entire small page (indicated by reference numeral 2A in FIG. 7) corresponding to “2” is displayed as shown in FIG. Displayed on the part 15. When “17” is input from the operation unit 14, the small page corresponding to “17” is smaller than the size of the display unit 15, so that the entire small page (“17”) corresponding to “17” (see FIG. 7). 7 is displayed on the display unit 15, and an image display indicating that there is no portion to be displayed, such as black display, is made in the lower portion of the small page corresponding to “17” (FIG. 7). 2 with a hatched portion, indicated by reference numeral 17B).

  In the first to fourth embodiments described above, a plurality of browsing pages are provided along the first direction (vertical direction) or the first direction F (vertical direction) and the second direction S (horizontal direction). However, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to these. The angle formed by the first direction F and the second direction S is not limited to approximately 90 degrees, and can be any angle. The angle formed by the first direction F and the second direction S can be selected as appropriate based on the shape of the display unit 15, for example. Further, the browsing page may be divided into a plurality of pages along three or more directions.

  The display unit 15 may display which portion of the entire browsing page the small page displayed on the display unit 15 corresponds to. In this case, there is an advantage that the user can easily understand the arrangement of the displayed small pages with respect to the entire browsing page.

  Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, when one browsing page is divided into small pages in the vertical direction 10 and a small page corresponding to “2” is displayed, the display unit 15 displays “2”. A small page corresponding to is displayed, and “2/10” is displayed on a part of the display unit 15.

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, when one browsing page is divided into nine small pages in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction and a small page corresponding to “2” is displayed, it is shown in FIG. 8. As described above, the small page corresponding to “2” is displayed, and the mark 40 is displayed on a part of the display unit 15. For example, the mark 40 is formed of a quadrangle divided into a total of nine blocks of 3 vertical and 3 horizontal. This square means that the browsing page is divided into a total of 9 small pages of 3 vertical and 3 horizontal as shown in FIG. In addition, for example, the block (x (row), y (column)) represented by (1, 2) is displayed in color, and the small page currently displayed on the display unit 15 is arranged on the viewing page. Indicates. The arrangement of the mark 40 in the display unit 15 is not particularly limited. For example, the mark 40 is displayed at the end of the display unit 15 so as not to prevent the display unit 15 from displaying a small page. The display method may be always displayed on the display unit 15 or may be appropriately displayed based on the input from the operation unit 14. Moreover, you may display using a pop-up etc.

  The present invention is preferably applied to a mobile phone that can browse various websites and emails. This is because websites and emails often have information data of pages larger than the size of the display unit 15 (for example, the size in the y direction) mounted on the mobile phone. Further, the present invention is suitably applied to a mobile phone equipped with a web browser for mobile phones that can browse a website created for a personal computer as it is. This is because a website created for a personal computer often has information data of a page larger than the size of the display unit 15 (for example, the size in the x direction and the y direction) mounted on the mobile phone.

  FIG. 9 shows a perspective view of the terminal device 10, particularly a mobile phone. In the mobile phone, an upper casing 23 having a display unit 15 and a lower casing 21 having an operation unit 14 are connected via a hinge unit 29 so as to be opened and closed. In this example, designation of a small page is performed by a combination of a small page designation mode key (small page designation mode input unit) 27 and a numeric key (number input unit) 25, rather than a long press of a numeric key. In this example, the small page designation mode key (jump mode key) 27 is the “#” key, but other keys such as the “*” key may be assigned to the small page designation mode key. By the operation of the small page designation mode key 27, the operation of the numeric key shifts from the normal mode to the browsing small page designation mode (jump mode).

  In the above description, the size of the display unit 15 or the size that can be displayed on the display unit 15 may be the size of the entire rectangular display unit 15 shown in FIG. For example, only the central portion of the display unit 15) may be used.

  In this example, for example, when the user wants to browse the small page “2”, after obtaining the browsing page, the user presses the “*” key and then presses the numeric key “2”. Then, in step S105 of FIG. 3 (step S206 of FIG. 5), the control unit 11 displays the small page “2” on the display unit 15 in response to the input detection of the “*” key and the numeric key “2”. After inputting the “*” key, a message stating “Please press the number of the small page you want to view” may be displayed on the display unit 15. In addition, the terminal device 10 can be provided with a function that enables selection of either “long press mode” or “jump mode” in advance.

  In the above-described embodiment, the display unit 15 is generally constituted by a liquid crystal display or the like, and is incorporated into an integral housing together with other parts. However, this configuration is not essential, and the display unit 15 can be configured separately from other portions.

  The present invention also includes a program for causing a computer to execute the procedure of the display processing method of the present invention. The program is stored inside or outside the terminal device in various recording media and memory formats.

  Hereinafter, a display processing apparatus and a display processing method according to the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a display processing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the display processing device of this embodiment is built in a terminal device 10 such as a mobile phone or a personal computer. The display processing apparatus includes a control unit 11, a control program storage unit 12, a memory 13, an operation unit (input unit) 14, and a display unit 15. The terminal device 10 includes other components such as a wireless communication unit including a circuit related to an antenna and communication, and a power source, but the description thereof is omitted here.

  The control unit 11 includes a CPU, and executes processing according to the control program stored in the control program storage unit 12. The control unit 11 includes, for example, a page dividing unit 11A and a small page number setting unit 11B. The small page number setting unit 11B, for example, based on an input from the operation unit 14, page information for specifying the browsing page, and a browsing page division request having the number of divisions when dividing the browsing page into a plurality of small pages. Is generated. The small page number setting unit 11B outputs the browsing page division request to the page division unit 11A. Upon receiving the browsing page division request, the page dividing unit 11A divides the browsing page into the number of small pages indicated in the division request.

  When the number of divisions is not indicated in the browse page division request, the control unit 11 can set a predetermined number of divisions, for example, “10” (default setting). In this embodiment, a method of dividing the browsing page into 10 small pages of the same size is adopted (see FIG. 2). That is, the page dividing unit 11A divides the entire display area of the browsing page into areas having a certain ratio. However, the division method is not particularly limited. It is also possible to measure the data amount for each predetermined area of the browse page and divide the browse page into small pages so that the data amount of each small page is equal.

  The control unit 11 may include a browsing page size determination unit 11C that determines whether the size of the browsing page is a size that can be displayed on the display unit 15 at a time. The browsing page size determination unit 11C will be described in the second embodiment.

  In addition, the control unit 11 assigns each divided small page to different numbers on a one-to-one basis, determines whether the number input by the operation unit 14 has been pressed for a predetermined time or longer, and is input. If it is determined that the number has been pressed for a predetermined time or longer, a small page assigned to correspond to the number is output to the display unit 15 and displayed on the display unit 15. That is, the control unit 11 includes an allocation unit and a long press determination unit (not shown in FIG. 1). The long press time can be set by a user operation. In FIG. 2, each of the small pages assigned to the numbers “1” to “10” is represented by using reference numerals “1” to “10”.

  The control program storage unit 12 is configured by a ROM, and stores a control program for executing processing performed by the control unit 11.

  The memory 13 is composed of a RAM, and has a data storage area 131, a divided page storage area 132, a key state storage area 133, and a work area (not shown). The data storage area 131 stores browsing pages that constitute information data on the display unit 15 by the user. The browsing page has, for example, page information “ABCDEF.DAT” as information for specifying this page. Such browsing pages include browser information input from other terminal devices via the antenna, data such as mail and memo pad, data created by the user, and external information composed of recorded data such as a CD-ROM. There is a page consisting of data.

  In the divided page storage area 132, for example, small pages “1” to “10” shown in FIG. The small page is information for specifying the small page, for example, when the browse page is “ABCDEF.DAT” and is the third of the ten pages divided into ten small pages. Has small page information of “ABCDEF.DAT-3”. Here, “−3” indicates a small page corresponding to “3” among the small pages “1” to “10” generated by dividing the browsing page “ABCDEF.DAT”. .

  In the key state storage area 133, when a small page designated by the user is browsed, the number of long press times input from the operation unit for designating the corresponding small page is stored. For example, when the long press time is “3” seconds, “3” is stored. The work area is a storage area required when the control unit 11 performs processing.

  The operation unit 14 is a device for inputting an operation to be executed by the terminal device 10 according to this embodiment, and includes a pointing device such as a mouse, a keyboard having a numeric keypad, an enter key, a numeric key, and the like. The display unit 15 includes a liquid crystal display device, and displays browsing pages, small pages, and other display contents.

  Next, operations of the display processing device and the terminal device 10 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing operations of the display processing device and the terminal device according to the embodiment. When the user acquires a browsing page of predetermined data information from a browser or the like, the operation unit 14 specifies “ABCDEF.DAT” as page information for specifying the browsing page by a user operation. Then, the page is displayed by the display unit 15, and the page is further stored in the data storage area 131 (step S101). The browsing page can be acquired, for example, via the wireless communication unit of the display processing device.

  When a browsing page division request having “10” as the number of divisions when dividing the browsing page into small pages is output to the small page number setting unit 11B of the control unit 11 by the user's operation described above (step S102). The control unit 11 stores the division number “10” indicated in the input browse page division request in the work area.

  Next, the page division unit 11A of the control unit 11 reads the browsing page “ABCDEF.DAT” indicated in the browsing page division request from the data storage area 131 and divides it into small pages corresponding to the division number “10” ( Step S103). Next, an allocation unit (not shown) of the control unit 11 allocates each divided small page to 1 to 10 different numbers on a one-to-one basis, and allocates these allocated small pages to the divided page storage area 132. (Step S104). Here, for example, the second allocated small page has small page information “ABCDEF.DAT-2”.

  Thereafter, when the user inputs, for example, the number “2” of the number keys indicating what is desired to be browsed from the small pages, the operation unit 14 indicates that the input number “2” has been pressed. Output to. The long press determination unit (not shown in FIG. 1) of the control unit 11 stores the number “2” in the work area when the fact that the number “2” is pressed is input from the operation unit 14, and the key state. The long press time “3” stored in the storage area 133 is read and the time when the number 2 is pressed, that is, the time until the number “2” disappears after the signal indicating the number “2” is input, for example, “3”. It is determined whether the second has passed (step S105).

  For example, when the long press determination unit of the control unit 11 determines that “3” seconds have not elapsed (step S105; NO), the small page browsing process is terminated, whereas “3” seconds have elapsed. Is determined (step S105; YES), a small page “ABCDEF.DAT- × (where x is 1 to 10) corresponding to“ 1 ”to“ 10 ”stored in the divided page storage area 132. “Any number”), the small pages “ABCDEF.DAT-2” corresponding to the number “2” and the small pages “ABCDEF.DAT− corresponding to the number“ 3 ”are displayed as small pages on the display unit 15. Of the small pages “ABCDEF.DAT-4” corresponding to 3 ”and the number“ 4 ”, only the head portion that can be displayed on the display unit 15 is read (step S106), and is output to the display unit 15 as shown in FIG. Top point of Figure 2 Line portion, indicated with reference numeral 2A). The display unit 15 displays these small pages (step S107) and ends the small page browsing process.

  In the example of FIG. 2, when the number “10” is pressed and the last small page “ABCDEF.DAT-10” is read, the page is displayed on the screen (see the lower part of FIG. 2). A dotted line portion, indicated by reference numeral 10A), and a lower display area remain. In this case, an image display indicating that there is no portion to be displayed such as black display is performed on the display unit 15 (shown using a hatched portion in FIG. 2 and reference numeral 10B).

  According to the display processing apparatus 10 of this embodiment, since the display unit 15 displays small pages divided by the dividing unit corresponding to the number input by the operation unit 14, when browsing the information data, Only one operation is required until the desired page portion is displayed, and the browsing operation can be made more efficient. As a result, it is possible to eliminate unnecessary time and operation until the location of the page that the user desires to browse is displayed, and to eliminate the operation stress applied to the user.

  Moreover, according to the display processing apparatus 10 of this embodiment, since the number of small pages to be divided by the control unit 11 is set based on the number input from the operation unit 14, the number of small pages desired by the user can be freely set. Can be set to

  The display processing device 10 described above simultaneously displays a small number of small pages to be displayed on the display unit 15 in addition to the small pages corresponding to the number specified by the operation unit 14. This is because the display unit 15 can display 2/10 the size of the browse page “ABCDEF.DAT”. As another method, instead of the user inputting the number of divisions in step S102 described above, the control unit 11 automatically sets the number of divisions based on the size of the small page that can be displayed on one screen of the display unit 15. The browsing page may be divided in step S103.

  By adopting such a configuration, the control unit 11 divides it into a plurality of small pages having a size for displaying one screen, so that only the small pages assigned to the number input by the operation unit 14 are displayed on the display unit 15. Can be displayed.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, the configuration and operation of the display processing device and the terminal device 10 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, the entire browsing page is not divided into a predetermined number of small pages, but small pages are displayed according to the size of the display unit 15 (size of one screen).

  The configuration of the terminal device 10 including the display processing device of the second embodiment is basically the same as the configuration of the terminal device 10 included in the display processing device of the first embodiment. Components similar to those described in the embodiment will be omitted from the description.

  As shown in FIG. 1, in the terminal device 10 of the second embodiment, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the size of the browsing page is a size that can be displayed on the display unit 15 at a time. Part 11C. When the size of the browsing page is larger than the size that can be displayed on the display unit 15 at a time, the browsing page size determination unit 11C determines that the size of the browsing page is not a size that can be displayed on the display unit 15 at a time. Is output to the page dividing unit 11A including a command to divide the page into small pages. This browsing page division request may not include the number of divisions when the browsing page is divided into a plurality of small pages. That is, when the control unit 11 has the browsing page size determination unit 11C as in the present embodiment, the control unit 11 has a small page number setting unit 11B for setting how many small pages the browsing page is divided into. It does not have to be. In the present embodiment, the page dividing unit 11A that has received the browsing page division request starts with a predetermined position in the browsing page as a starting point, and displays a plurality of browsing pages for each size that can be displayed on the display unit 15 at a time. Divide into small pages.

  Here, the browsing page size determination unit 11C calculates, for example, the number of pixels (pixel number) P1 of the browsing page, and compares the number of pixels P1 of the browsing page with the number of pixels P2 of the display unit of the mobile terminal. If ≦ P2, it is determined that the size of the browsing page is a size that can be displayed on the display unit 15 at a time. On the other hand, if P1> P2, it is determined that the size of the browse page is not a size that can be displayed on the display unit 15 at a time. A known method can be used as the calculation method of P1. The terminal device 10 may calculate the P1 before displaying the browsing page, or may calculate the P1 while displaying the browsing page.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing operations of the display processing device and the terminal device according to the second embodiment. When the user acquires a browsing page of predetermined data information from a browser or the like, the operation unit 14 specifies “ABCDEF.DAT” as page information for specifying the browsing page and acquires the browsing page by a user operation. Start (step S201). The acquired data of the browsing page is sequentially stored in the data storage area 131.

  In the browsing page acquisition process, when the browsing page size determination unit 11C of the control unit 11 determines that the page is too large to be displayed on the display unit 15 at a time, the browsing page division request is sent to the page division unit 11A. (Step S202). Then, the page dividing unit 11A reads the stored data of the browse page “ABCDEF.DAT” from the data storage area 131, and divides the data for each size of the display unit 15 (step S203). The dividing unit of the control unit 11 assigns each small page in a one-to-one correspondence to different numbers from 1 to N corresponding to the number N of divided small pages, and divides these assigned small pages into divided pages. Store in the storage area 132 (step S204). Here, for example, the second allocated small page has small page information “ABCDEF.DAT-2”.

  First, the control unit 11 displays the first small page on the display unit 15 (step S205). Thereafter, when the user inputs, for example, the number “2” of the number keys indicating what is desired to be browsed from the small pages, the operation unit 14 indicates that the input number “2” has been pressed. Output to. The long press determination unit of the control unit 11 stores the number “2” in the work area and the key state storage area 133 when the operation unit 14 inputs that the number “2” is pressed. Whether or not the time until the number 2 is pressed, that is, the time until it disappears after the signal indicating the number “2” is input, for example, “3” seconds, is read Is determined (step S206).

  The long press determination unit of the control unit 11 determines whether or not the long pressed key is a numeric key (step S207). If the key is not a numeric key (step S207; NO), the process is terminated. On the other hand, if the key is a numeric key (step S207; YES), the control unit 11 determines whether or not browsing data for a small page designated by long press has already been acquired and stored in the divided page storage area 132. Is determined (step S208), and if already acquired and stored (step S208; YES), the small page is read and displayed on the display unit 15 (step S210). On the other hand, when it is determined that the small page has not yet been acquired (step S208; NO), the control unit 11 reads the designated small page (step S209) and displays it on the display unit 15 (step S210). As a result, the small page “2” is output to the display unit 15 as shown in FIG. The displayed area is indicated by reference numeral 2A in FIG. In the present embodiment, the size of each small page corresponds to the size of the display unit 15.

  In the above-described embodiment, when a key corresponding to a small page is pressed for a predetermined time or longer via the operation unit 14, the small page assigned to correspond to this number is displayed on the display unit 15. An output configuration is adopted (hereinafter referred to as “long press mode”). However, the method for specifying the small page to be displayed is not limited to the long press of the key, and other methods can be used. For example, a specific small page can be designated by a combination of two or more keys.

  Although FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 show the case where the browsing page is divided into a plurality of small pages along one direction (vertical direction), the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this. In the embodiment of the present invention, the browsing page may be divided into a plurality of small pages along two or more directions.

(Third embodiment)
In the third embodiment, for example, the browsing page is divided into a plurality of small pages along a first direction F (vertical direction) and a second direction S (horizontal direction). Hereinafter, the operation of the terminal apparatus 10 having the display processing apparatus of the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 6. Since the terminal device 10 of the third embodiment basically performs the same operation as the operation described with reference to FIG. 3 in the first embodiment described above, the first embodiment will be described below. The operations similar to those described in the above will be omitted. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a method of dividing a browse page into nine small pages along a first direction F (vertical direction) and a second direction S (horizontal direction).

  In the present embodiment, in step S <b> 102, a browse page division request having “9” as a division number for dividing the browse page into small pages is output to the small page number setting unit 11 </ b> B of the control unit 11.

  In step S103, the page dividing unit 11A of the control unit 11 reads the browsing page “ABCDEF.DAT” indicated in the browsing page dividing request from the data storage area 131 and divides it into small pages corresponding to the dividing number “9”. . At this time, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, the page dividing unit 11 </ b> A has a total of 9 browsing pages, 3 in the first direction F (vertical direction) and 3 in the second direction S (horizontal direction). Divide into small pages. The angle formed by the first direction F and the second direction S is approximately 90 degrees. Each of the nine small pages has the same length in the first direction F. Each of the nine small pages has the same length in the second direction S. Each of the 9 small pages is a rectangle of the same size. The size of the small page is larger than the size of the display unit 15 of the terminal device.

  In the above description, if a browsing page division request having “9” as the number of divisions is output to the control unit 11 in step S102, the number of browsing pages is three in the first direction F (vertical direction) and the first Although the case where the page is automatically divided into a total of 9 small pages in 3 in the direction S (lateral direction) of 2 has been described, the method of dividing the browsing page is not limited to this. For example, it may be possible to set how many small pages the viewing page is divided in the first direction F (vertical direction) and / or the second direction S (horizontal direction).

  In step S <b> 104, the control unit 11 assigns each divided small page to 1 to 9 different numbers on a one-to-one basis, and stores these assigned small pages in the divided page storage area 132. In FIG. 6, each of the small pages assigned to the numbers “1” to “9” is represented using reference numerals “1” to “9”. FIG. 6 shows an example in which numbers “1” to “9” are sequentially assigned to each small page starting from the left end of the browsing page, but the number assignment method is not limited to this.

  When the mobile phone described later with reference to FIG. 9 is used as the terminal device 10, in the division method shown in FIG. 6, the arrangement of the small pages corresponding to “1” to “9” with respect to the entire browsing page is The arrangement of numeric keys 25 “1” to “9” included in the operation unit 14 is the same. That is, the numeric keys included in the operation unit 14 of the mobile phone are arranged as 1, 2, 3, on the first line, 4, 5, 6 on the second line, and 7, 8, 9 on the third line. Therefore, the arrangement is the same as the arrangement of the small pages shown in FIG. In this case, there is an advantage that the user can easily understand the arrangement of the small pages with respect to the entire browsing page.

  In the terminal device 10 of this embodiment, the size of the small page is larger than the size of the display unit 15 of the terminal device 10. Therefore, for example, when “2” is input from the operation unit 14 as a number corresponding to a small page to be browsed, a part of the small page corresponding to “2” (reference numeral 2A in FIG. 6 is used as shown in FIG. 6). Is displayed on the display unit 15. The area initially displayed on the display unit 15 is, for example, a part (2A) at the upper left of the small page corresponding to “2”. The remaining portion 2B that is not displayed can be appropriately displayed by a method similar to the conventional method using, for example, a scroll key included in the operation unit 14 or the like.

(Fourth embodiment)
Similarly to the third embodiment, the fourth embodiment also divides the browsing page into a plurality of small pages along the first direction F (vertical direction) and the second direction S (horizontal direction). The fourth embodiment is different from the third embodiment mainly in that the browsing page is divided into small pages according to the size of the display unit 15 (size of one screen).

  Hereinafter, the operation of the terminal device 10 included in the display processing device of the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 7. Since the terminal device 10 of the fourth embodiment basically performs the same operation as the operation described with reference to FIG. 5 in the second embodiment described above, the second embodiment will be described below. The operations similar to those described in the above will be omitted. FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a method of dividing a browsing page into 20 small pages along a first direction F (vertical direction) and a second direction S (horizontal direction).

  In step S203, the page dividing unit 11A of the control unit 11 reads the stored data of the browse page “ABCDEF.DAT” from the data storage area 131, and divides the data for each size of the display unit 15 (step S203). ). In the case of FIG. 7, for example, the length of the entire browsing page in the first direction F is approximately more than 4 times and less than approximately 5 times the length of the display unit 15 in the first direction F. Further, the length of the entire browsing page in the second direction S is approximately four times the length of the display unit 15 in the second direction S. In this case, the control unit 11 makes the browsing page a total of 20 in the vertical direction F and 4 in the horizontal direction S along the first direction F (vertical direction) and the second direction S (horizontal direction). Is divided into small pages. The angle formed by the first direction F and the second direction S is approximately 90 degrees.

  In step S204, in correspondence with the number of divided small pages 20, each small page is assigned in a one-to-one correspondence with a different number from 1 to 20, and these assigned small pages are assigned to the divided page storage area 132. Remember. In FIG. 7, the small pages assigned to the numbers “1” to “20” are represented using reference numerals “1” to “20”. FIG. 7 shows an example in which numbers “1” to “20” are sequentially assigned to each small page starting from the left end of the browsing page, but the number assignment method is not limited to this.

  Each of the small pages corresponding to “1” to “16” is a rectangle having the same size as the display unit 15. That is, each of the small pages corresponding to “1” to “16” has the length in the first direction F equal to the length in the first direction F of the display unit 15. The length in the second direction S is equal to the length in the second direction S of the display unit 15. Each of the small pages corresponding to “1” to “16” is a rectangle of the same size. Each of the small pages corresponding to “17” to “20” is smaller than the size of the display unit 15. That is, each of the small pages corresponding to “17” to “20” has a length in the first direction F that is smaller than a length in the first direction F of the display unit 15. In addition, the length in the second direction S is smaller than the length in the second direction S of the display unit 15.

  For example, when “2” is input from the operation unit 14 as a number corresponding to a small page to be browsed, an entire small page (indicated by reference numeral 2A in FIG. 7) corresponding to “2” is displayed as shown in FIG. Displayed in the section 15. When “17” is input from the operation unit 14, the small page corresponding to “17” is smaller than the size of the display unit 15, so that the entire small page corresponding to “17” (see FIG. 7) 7 is displayed on the display unit 15, and an image display indicating that there is no portion to be displayed, such as black display, is made in the lower portion of the small page corresponding to “17” (FIG. 7). 2 with a hatched portion, indicated by reference numeral 17B).

  In the first to fourth embodiments described above, a plurality of browsing pages are provided along the first direction (vertical direction) or the first direction F (vertical direction) and the second direction S (horizontal direction). However, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to these. The angle formed by the first direction F and the second direction S is not limited to approximately 90 degrees, and can be any angle. The angle formed by the first direction F and the second direction S can be selected as appropriate based on the shape of the display unit 15, for example. Further, the browsing page may be divided into a plurality of pages along three or more directions.

  The display unit 15 may display which portion of the entire browsing page the small page displayed on the display unit 15 corresponds to. In this case, there is an advantage that the user can easily understand the arrangement of the displayed small pages with respect to the entire browsing page.

  Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, when one browsing page is divided into small pages in the vertical direction 10 and a small page corresponding to “2” is displayed, the display unit 15 displays “2”. A small page corresponding to is displayed, and “2/10” is displayed on a part of the display unit 15.

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, when one browsing page is divided into nine small pages in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction and a small page corresponding to “2” is displayed, it is shown in FIG. 8. As described above, the small page corresponding to “2” is displayed, and the mark 40 is displayed on a part of the display unit 15. For example, the mark 40 is formed of a quadrangle divided into a total of nine blocks of 3 vertical and 3 horizontal. This square means that the browsing page is divided into a total of 9 small pages of 3 vertical and 3 horizontal as shown in FIG. In addition, for example, the block (x (row), y (column)) represented by (1, 2) is displayed in color, and the small page currently displayed on the display unit 15 is arranged on the viewing page. Indicates. The arrangement of the mark 40 in the display unit 15 is not particularly limited. For example, the mark 40 is displayed at the end of the display unit 15 so as not to prevent the display unit 15 from displaying a small page. The display method may be always displayed on the display unit 15 or may be appropriately displayed based on the input from the operation unit 14. Moreover, you may display using a pop-up etc.

  The present invention is preferably applied to a mobile phone that can browse various websites and emails. This is because websites and emails often have information data of pages larger than the size of the display unit 15 (for example, the size in the y direction) mounted on the mobile phone. Further, the present invention is suitably applied to a mobile phone equipped with a web browser for mobile phones that can browse a website created for a personal computer as it is. This is because a website created for a personal computer often has information data of a page larger than the size of the display unit 15 (for example, the size in the x direction and the y direction) mounted on the mobile phone.

  FIG. 9 shows a perspective view of the terminal device 10, particularly a mobile phone. In the mobile phone, an upper casing 23 having a display unit 15 and a lower casing 21 having an operation unit 14 are connected via a hinge unit 29 so as to be opened and closed. In this example, designation of a small page is performed by a combination of a small page designation mode key (small page designation mode input unit) 27 and a numeric key (number input unit) 25, rather than a long press of a numeric key. In this example, the small page designation mode key (jump mode key) 27 is the “#” key, but other keys such as the “*” key may be assigned to the small page designation mode key. By the operation of the small page designation mode key 27, the operation of the numeric key shifts from the normal mode to the browsing small page designation mode (jump mode).

  In the above description, the size of the display unit 15 or the size that can be displayed on the display unit 15 may be the size of the entire rectangular display unit 15 shown in FIG. For example, only the central portion of the display unit 15) may be used.

  In this example, for example, when the user wants to browse the small page “2”, after obtaining the browsing page, the user presses the “*” key and then presses the numeric key “2”. Then, in step S105 of FIG. 3 (step S206 of FIG. 5), the control unit 11 displays the small page “2” on the display unit 15 in response to the input detection of the “*” key and the numeric key “2”. After inputting the “*” key, a message stating “Please press the number of the small page you want to view” may be displayed on the display unit 15. In addition, the terminal device 10 can be provided with a function that enables selection of either “long press mode” or “jump mode” in advance.
