Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a data processing device,
The present invention relates to a data processing method and a storage medium storing a data processing procedure.

More specifically, the present invention relates to a data processing device for processing input information received via a network such as the Internet or an intranet, a data processing method, and a storage medium storing a data processing procedure.

[0003]

2. Description of the Related Art As is generally known, an information system using the Internet (a network interconnecting computers all over the world by the TCP / IP protocol) or an intranet (hardware / software for connecting to the Internet as it is). )
This allows computers to connect to each other and exchange information.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the Internet and an intranet system. In the figure, an intranet 101 and an intranet 102 are connected to the Internet 100. In addition, a personal computer (hereinafter referred to as P
C) 111 and a workstation 112 are connected, and the WWW server 1
21 and the PC 122 are connected.

[0005] PC 111, workstation 112,
The WWW server 121 and the PC 122 can communicate with each other under the control of a network operating system such as TCP / IP.

In particular, the WWW server 121 collects documents composed of hypertexts, graphics, and the like, and realizes a WWW (World Wide Web) site that can be uniquely identified by URLs (Uniform Resource Locators). Usually, it has a role of providing various information to the PC 111, the workstation 112, the PC 122, and the like having a browsing program called a Web browser.

Normally, when we provide various kinds of information using the WWW server 121, documents such as hypertexts and graphics are stored on the WWW server 121, and the documents are returned from the user according to the request. .

In recent years, however, not only has the document held in the WWW server 121 been returned to the user,
Software (hereinafter referred to as a WWW application) is operated on a WWW server, and CGI (Common Gateway)
With the use of an interface called “Interface”, there has been a movement to enable information input from a user via a Web browser.

Next, in the Internet and intranet system as shown in FIG.
1 runs on the PC 111
Web that received the input information input by the user at
The case of operating according to a request from a browser will be described in more detail.

FIG. 2 shows that a WWW application running on the WWW server 121 performs a predetermined process in accordance with a request from a Web browser on the PC 111 that has received the input information input by the user, and the processing result is stored in the PC 111
It is a sequence diagram at the time of displaying on the upper Web browser.

First, in step S201, the user
The URL of the WWW application on the WWW server 121 is specified by the Web browser on an arbitrary PC, and the HTML document created by the WWW application is displayed. This HTML document is in a format that can accept a plurality of pieces of input information by the user.

FIG. 3 shows an example of this type of HTML document. In the figure, reference numeral 300 denotes an HTML document itself. 301 is the title of the first input information item 302, and 303 is the title of the second input information item 304. Reference numeral 305 denotes an OK button. When the user presses this button, the Web browser causes the WWW server 1
Then, the input information input by the user via 21 is transmitted to the WWW application.

Returning to FIG. 2, description of the sequence diagram will be continued.

In step S202, step S201
The user inputs information to the HTML document displayed by. In FIG. 3, some inputs are made to 302 and 304.

Next, by pressing an OK button 305 in FIG. 3, a plurality of pieces of input information input by the user in step S202 are transmitted to the WWW application via the WWW server 121 by the HTTP protocol. In the WWW application, the plurality of pieces of input information are received in step S203.

In step S204, step S203
Verify whether there are any unprocessable errors in the multiple input information received.

If it is determined in step S204 that there is no error, an HTML document corresponding to the input information input by the user is created in step S205, and the process proceeds to step S207.

If it is determined in step S204 that there is an error, an HTML document indicating the error is created in step S206, and then step S2
Proceed to 07.

FIG. 4 is an example of an HTML document indicating an error. Although it can be determined that an error has occurred and where the error has occurred (input information 1 in FIG. 4), the information input by the user in step S202 has been lost.

Next, in step S207, the HTM created in step S205 or S206 is used.
The L document is transmitted to the Web browser on the PC 111. Finally, in step S208, the Web browser displays the HTML document transmitted in step S207, and the sequence ends.

[0021]

As described above, the conventional WWW application determines whether an error exists in a plurality of pieces of input information that a user has input and transmitted to an HTML document and determines whether the error exists. In such a case, it is only necessary to return to the Web browser which item caused the error as an HTML document.

That is, in the conventional WWW application, the input information input by the user is discarded after the error determination processing.
