This will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the basic operation of the URL processing apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
1 shows the flow of processing. These flowcharts show how the CPU 23 executes a program stored in the ROM 25.

First, the control section 11 initializes the entire system (S1). In the WWW browser according to the present embodiment, when the system is terminated, environment settings and URL access information (time and number of times) are saved in a file so that the previous state can be restored the next time the system is started ( Restoration process). This restoration processing is executed in the initialization step of step S1. In the present embodiment, two tables, an access count management table and an access time management table, are used as tables for storing URL access information.
The access count management table is a table for counting the number of accesses to a URL that has not been registered in the bookmark, and has a URL and the number of accesses to the URL as members. The access time management table is a table for storing the time when accessing the URL registered in the bookmark. UR
L and the last access time to the URL are members. Next, the control unit 11 waits until there is an instruction from the user (S2). Here, the accepted instructions are a system termination request, a URL access request, a bookmark batch deletion request, an environment setting editing request, a bookmark list acquisition request, and a bookmark editing request. Other instructions are invalidated and the next instruction is waited for.

Next, the control unit 11 checks whether or not the user's instruction is a system termination request (S3). If the user's instruction is a termination request, the environment setting contents and URL access information (time and number) are stored in a file. (S4), and ends the system.

If it is determined in step S3 that the request is not an end request, the control unit 11 checks whether or not the user's instruction is a request to access a URL (S5). The URL is read (S6), and the process returns to step S2. If it is not an access request, the process proceeds to step S7.

In step S7, the control unit 11 checks whether or not the user's instruction is a request for batch deletion of bookmarks. If the request is a deletion request, the control unit 11 performs bookmark deletion processing (S8) and returns to step S2. If not a removal request,
Move to step S9.

In step S9, the control unit 11 checks whether the user's instruction is any of an environment setting edit request, a bookmark list acquisition request, or a bookmark edit request. Perform (S10), and return to step S2. If it is neither an environment setting edit request, a bookmark list acquisition request, nor a bookmark edit request, the process returns to step S2.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing the processing in step S6 in FIG. 3. In response to a URL access request from a user, the apparatus is connected to the Internet, reads a specified URL, and automatically converts the URL to a bookmark. 4 shows a flow of a registration process.

First, the URL access unit 4 connects to the Internet, reads the URL specified by the user, displays the URL on the display unit 3, and notifies the control unit 11 (S11). Next, the control unit 11 checks whether the read URL has been registered in the bookmark (S12),
If not registered, go to step S13. If registered, go to step S13.
Move to step S18.

In step S13, the URL access monitoring unit 5 checks whether the read URL has already been registered in the access count management table, and if it has been registered, increases the access count by one. If not registered, it is newly registered in the access count management table (the initial value of the count is 1). Next, the control unit 11 checks whether or not the number of accesses to the URL that has just been read has reached the number set in the environment setting unit 2 (S14). If the number has been reached, the process proceeds to step S15. If not, the process ends. EXIT is connected to step S2 in FIG. Next, in step S15, the control unit 11 stores the information of the URL just read in the storage unit 12 via the URL automatic registration unit 8.
Register to bookmarks. Next, the URL access monitoring unit 5 deletes the information related to the URL from the access count management table (S16), and further registers the URL and the current time in the access time management table (S1).
7) End the processing.

In step S18, the URL access monitoring unit 5 checks whether or not the read URL has been registered in the access time management table. If the URL has been registered, the access time is updated to the current time. If,
The process is newly registered in the access time management table, and the process is completed.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the control unit 1
1 determines whether or not the URL read from the user instruction unit 1 via the URL access unit 4 has been registered in the bookmark in the storage unit 12. If it is determined that the URL has not been registered, the access count of the read URL is determined by the URL. When the access count of the read URL is retrieved from the access count management table of the access monitoring unit 5 and reaches the access count stored in the environment setting unit 2, the read URL is converted to the URL.
By registering the bookmark via the L automatic registration unit 8, the URL can be automatically registered in the bookmark even if the user himself does not perform the registration work. A determination step (S12) for determining whether or not the read URL has been registered in the bookmark.
Retrieval step for retrieving RL access times (S13)
And a registration step (S14, S15) of registering the read URL as a bookmark when the access count of the read URL has reached a predetermined access count, so that the access count of the read URL is increased. If the URL has reached the predetermined number of times of access, the read URL is registered in the bookmark, so that the URL can be automatically registered in the bookmark without the user himself performing the registration work (S17). Further, by recording the URL registration method on a recording medium, the URL registration method can be executed at an arbitrary place and at an arbitrary time.

(Embodiment 2) The configuration of a URL processing apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention is the same as that of Embodiment 1 and is shown in FIGS.

The operation of the URL processing apparatus thus configured will be described with reference to FIG. FIG.
9 is a flowchart showing the processing of step S8, and shows the flow of processing for deleting a URL (bookmark registration item) from a bookmark in accordance with a bookmark deletion instruction from a user. Information indicating whether to delete a URL that does not exist on the Internet (invalid), delete a URL that has not been accessed for a predetermined time, or delete both as arguments is passed to this process.

First, the control unit 11 confirms whether or not the user's instruction is a deletion request. If the instruction is a deletion instruction, the process proceeds to step S22; otherwise, the process ends. In step S22, the control unit 11 acquires the number of URLs registered in the bookmark and stores the number in the variable num. Next, 0 is set to the variable i (S23). The variable i is a subscript indicating the bookmark registration item being processed, and the bookmark registration item being processed is hereinafter referred to as a bookmark [i].

Next, the control unit 11 sets the variable i to the variable num.
It is checked whether it is smaller (S24). If smaller, the process proceeds to step S25, and if smaller, the process is terminated.
In step S25, the URL of the bookmark [i] is obtained and set in the variable url. Next, the control unit 11
It is checked whether the user's instruction is to delete a URL that does not exist on the Internet (invalid) (S2).
6) If yes, go to step S27, otherwise go to step S30.

In step S27, the control unit 11 sets the UR
Using the L access monitoring unit 5, it is checked whether or not the URL set in the variable url exists on the Internet. If the URL has been deleted from the Internet, the bookmark [i] is deleted from the bookmark (S28). Move to S29. If it exists on the Internet, the process moves to step S29 without performing the deletion process.
Finally, in step S29, the value of the variable i is increased by one, and the process returns to step S24.

In step S30, the control unit 11 sets the UR
The L access monitoring unit 5 checks whether the URL set in the variable url has been registered in the access time management table. If the URL has been registered, the difference between the time of last access to the variable time and the current time ( That is, the time during which no access was made) is set. If not registered, 0 is set in the variable time. Next, if the variable “time” is longer than the time set in the environment setting unit 2, the control unit 11 sends the bookmark [i] via the URL deletion unit 9.
Is deleted from the bookmark (S32), and step S33 is performed.
Move to. If it is smaller, the process proceeds to step S33 without performing the deletion process. Finally, in step S33, the value of the variable i is increased by one, and the process returns to step S24.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the control unit 1
1 determines, for each URL, whether or not the time during which there was no access to the URL obtained from the access time management table exceeds the access time stored in the environment setting unit 2;
Since the URL exceeding the access time is deleted from the bookmark via the URL deletion unit 9, if the URL registered in the bookmark is not accessed for a predetermined time or more, the URL is deleted from the bookmark. Even if the user does not perform the deletion work, the URL with low access frequency can be deleted from the bookmark. A determination step (S31) for each URL to determine whether or not the time during which the URL has not been accessed exceeds a predetermined access time; Since the URL includes a deletion step (S32) for deleting the URL, the URL in which the time of no access exceeds the predetermined access time is deleted from the bookmark. URLs that have not been accessed and are accessed less frequently can be deleted from the bookmark. Further, the above U
By recording the RL deletion method on the recording medium, the URL registration method can be executed at an arbitrary place and an arbitrary time.

Further, the URL access monitoring unit 5 transmits a predetermined U
The control unit 11 determines whether or not the RL exists on the Internet. When the URL access monitoring unit 5 determines that the predetermined URL does not exist on the Internet, the control unit 11 deletes the predetermined URL via the URL deletion unit 9. When it is determined that the predetermined URL does not exist on the Internet, the predetermined URL is deleted from the bookmark, so that the user can delete the page without performing the deletion operation by himself. UR invalidated by
L (URL that no longer exists on the Internet) can be deleted from the bookmark. Also, a predetermined U
There is a determination step (S27) for determining whether the RL exists on the Internet and a deletion step (S28) for deleting the predetermined URL from the bookmark when it is determined that the predetermined URL does not exist on the Internet. As a result, when it is determined that the predetermined URL does not exist on the Internet, the predetermined URL is deleted from the bookmark, and thus becomes invalid by deleting the page without performing the deletion operation by the user himself. The URL can be deleted from the bookmark. Further, the above U
By recording the RL deletion method on the recording medium, the URL registration method can be executed at an arbitrary place and an arbitrary time.

(Embodiment 3) The configuration of a URL processing apparatus according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention is the same as that of Embodiment 1 in the configuration shown in FIGS.

The operation of the thus configured URL processing apparatus will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the process of step S10 in FIG.

First, the control unit 11 checks whether or not the user's instruction is a request for editing environment settings (S41). If so, the process proceeds to step S42. If not, the process proceeds to step S4.
Go to 5. In step S42, the control unit 11 opens a screen for editing environment settings on the display unit 3, and asks the user to edit the settings (S43). When editing by the user is completed, the edited content is saved (S4
4), end the process.

In step S45, the control unit 11 checks whether or not the user's instruction is a bookmark list acquisition request. If so, the process proceeds to step S46; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S48. In step S46, a bookmark list is generated using the bookmark management unit 10, the list is displayed on the display unit 3 (S47), and the process ends.

In step S48, the control unit 11 checks whether the user's instruction is a bookmark editing request,
If so, the process proceeds to step S49; otherwise, the process ends. In step S49, the control unit 11 opens a screen for editing the bookmark on the display unit 3 and asks the user to edit the bookmark (S5).
0). When the editing by the user is completed, the edited content is saved (S51), and the process is terminated.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the editing of the environment setting, the bookmark list display, and the bookmark editing can be performed based on the user's instruction, so that the convenience of the URL processing apparatus is further improved. be able to.
