BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
(Embodiment 1)
Hereinafter, a method for browsing a hypertext document according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a process in a method for browsing a hypertext document according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In the first embodiment, a description will be given using a sample image displayed on a browser as an example. FIG. 2 is a view showing an example of the display of a sample image when the method of browsing a hypertext document according to the first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is an example of a selection menu window in the sample image, and FIG. Examples of the setting window when the designation is selected are shown.
[0019]
In FIG. 1, when it is desired to highlight a predetermined text, image, or the like in the hypertext document read by the browser for later reference, the hypertext displayed on the content display area 21 of the browser shown in FIG. At the corresponding location 22 in the document, the size, font, or color of a text or an image is changed, emphasis designation such as underlining is drawn, or a mark input such as comment insertion is performed (step S11).
[0020]
Specifically, a corresponding device 22 in the hypertext document of the sample image displayed on the content display area 21 of the browser is selected by a pointing device such as a mouse, and the type of the mark to be input is set to the right of the browser shown in FIG. It is designated by selecting one of the menus 31 incorporated on the click menu 3. The functions on the browser right-click menu 3 are implemented as one program component of the browser.
[0021]
For example, when a font is specified, a font attribute setting window 4 as shown in FIG. 4 is opened, and detailed attributes are specified. When comment insertion is specified, a similar setting window is opened, and a comment is input on the setting window.
[0022]
Next, the type and attribute of the designated mark are analyzed (step S12), and a tag corresponding to a markup language expressing a display document in the sample image is formed (step S13). For example, when the display document is created in HTML and a mark for red font designation is input, the tag is configured as shown at 51 in FIG.
[0023]
Then, the composed tag is written and stored in the hypertext document file as shown in FIG. 5 (step S14). Such a hypertext document file may be a document file cached on the disk storage or a document file in which tag analysis has already been completed on the main storage.
[0024]
In particular, in the latter case, the tag to be written is also subjected to tag analysis, and is created and stored as an attribute or argument of a display object such as text, or as a new object.
[0025]
Next, the file marked with a tag or the like is converted into a displayable state as it is (step S15). When writing a new mark on a document file, the tag analysis of the entire file is performed again. Finally, rendering is performed by the rendering engine of the browser.
[0026]
Finally, the created rendering data is displayed on the content display area 21 of the browser (step S16).
[0027]
As described above, according to the first embodiment, an arbitrary portion can be emphasized or a comment can be inserted at an arbitrary portion in a displayed hypertext document. In the case where a plurality of documents are frequently read back and read alternately, the work efficiency is greatly improved, and the burden of browsing the documents can be reduced.
[0028]
(Embodiment 2)
Hereinafter, a method for browsing a hypertext document according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 6 is a flowchart of a process in the hypertext document browsing method according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Also in the second embodiment, a description will be given using a sample image displayed on a browser as an example. FIG. 7 is a view showing an example of the display of a sample image when the method of browsing a hypertext document according to the second embodiment of the present invention is performed, FIG. 8 is a view showing an example of a selection menu window in the sample image, and FIG. Examples of the setting window when the first designation is selected are shown.
[0029]
In FIG. 6, when it is desired to designate a predetermined text, image, or the like as a return destination for later reference in the hypertext document read by the browser, the text is displayed on the content display area 71 of the browser shown in FIG. A mark for specifying a return destination is input to the corresponding location 72 in the hypertext document (step S61).
[0030]
More specifically, the user designates a desired location by using a pointing device such as a mouse, and selects a return destination of a menu 81 incorporated on the browser right-click menu 8. To cancel the designation of the part specified as the return destination, the user must select the return destination specification cancellation. The functions on the browser right-click menu 8 are each implemented as one program component of the browser.
[0031]
Next, a return destination specification tag corresponding to a markup language expressing a display document in the sample image is configured. When the display document is created in HTML, the tag is configured as an anchor tag as indicated by 101 in FIG.
[0032]
Then, the composed tag is written and stored in the hypertext document file as shown in FIG. 10 (step S62), and the hyperlink tag corresponding to the composed tag is also stored (step S63). . Such a hypertext document file may be a document file cached on the disk storage, or may be document data for which tag analysis has already been completed on the main storage.
[0033]
Especially in the latter case, the tag to be written is also subjected to tag analysis, and is created and stored as an attribute or argument of a display object such as text, or as a new object, as in the first embodiment.
[0034]
In addition, the tag for the hyperlink may be generated as a document file described in a markup language on the disk storage, or may be stored in the main storage until the tag analysis is performed, and the rendering is performed. Alternatively, the data may be stored in the main memory as data indicating the return destination.
[0035]
FIG. 11 shows an example of a file when saving as a document file. As shown in FIG. 11, for one mark, the page title 111, mark position 112, and mark name 113 of the document in which the mark exists are recorded.
[0036]
Next, when jumping to an already marked position while displaying an arbitrary portion in an arbitrary document, first, the browser user specifies a mark corresponding to the position to be jumped (step S64). . Specifically, a list 91 of saved return destinations may be displayed on the browser right-click menu 9 so as to accept selection of a mark by the browser user, or a mark composed of only hyperlink information. The generation file for selection may be displayed as one HTML document, and the mark selection may be received.
[0037]
Then, based on the hyperlink information of the designated mark, the document containing the designated mark is searched and extracted from the document file cached on the disk storage or the document data held on the main memory. (Step S65), the extracted document is displayed on the content display area 71 of the browser with a desired mark positioned near the center (Step S66).
[0038]
As described above, according to the second embodiment, an arbitrary portion can be designated as a return destination for a displayed hypertext document, and it is possible to quickly read back later, When frequently reading or reading a document or a plurality of pages while alternately referring to a document including, the work efficiency is greatly improved, and the burden of browsing the document can be greatly reduced.
[0039]
