FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining the index file update processing according to the present embodiment.
[0058]
In the present embodiment, first, when the JAVA (registered trademark) application 18A of the mobile phone 1 is activated by the user's operation (step S111), the mobile phone 1 to the web server 2 via the mobile phone network 4 and the Internet 6 is performed. Is accessed (step S112). In step S112, the mobile phone 1 requests the web server 2 for an index file IDXF.
[0059]
The web server 2 first checks whether or not the index file IDXF in the page information 203B is updated with access from the mobile phone 1 (step S211). The update check here is for the top page of the tab page. Further, since the request for the index file IDXF has been received in the web server 2, the index file IDXF after the update check is read from the storage unit 203 (step S212).
[0060]
The index file IDXF read from the storage unit 203 is transmitted to the mobile phone 1 (step S213). In this way, the cellular phone 1 acquires (downloads) the index file IDXF by downloading (receiving) (step S113). This index file IDXF is stored in the RAM 18 (work area) of the mobile phone 1. The contents of the index file IDXF shown in FIG. 3B will be described below as an example.
[0061]
At this stage, the mobile phone 1 can acquire the update date of all tab page information by one communication for each tab page information constituting the tab browser. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the tab browser consists of information for five pages.
[0062]
Subsequently, a process for confirming whether or not each tab browser top page stored in the mobile phone 1 needs to be updated is executed. First, confirmation is performed from page file number # 1. The tab page information in the RAM 18 is referred to, and the update date DT # 1 associated with the page file number # 1 is compared with the page file number # 1 2003.3.6.10 in the index file IDXF (step S114).
[0063]
If the update date DT # 1 is an older date, the update on the web server 2 side is permitted. That is, since it is determined that the page file number # 1 has been updated (step S115), the corresponding tab page, that is, the page file with the page file number # 1 is requested to the web server 2 (step S116). In this case, the URL of page file number # 1 is accessed.
[0064]
When the web server 2 receives a request for the page file stored in the URL of the page file number # 1 (step S214), the page file of the page file number # 1 is read from the storage unit 203 (step S214). S215) and transmitted to the mobile phone 1 (step S216).
[0065]
In the mobile phone 1, the process of downloading (receiving) the page file of page file number # 1 from the web server 2 is started (step S117), and the process of updating and storing the tab page information 18B in the RAM 18 is executed (step S117). Step S118).
[0066]
If the mobile phone 1 has not confirmed all the tab pages (step S120), the process returns to step S114 again. In the confirmation of the completion, the page file numbers # 1 to # 5 may be counted using a counter.
[0067]
Similarly, when all the confirmations of page file numbers # 2 to # 5 are completed (step S119), a tab browser is displayed on the display 20 based on the tab page information 18B of the RAM 18 that has been updated (step S120).
[0068]
If it is determined in step S115 that there is no update, there is no update process for the corresponding page file number, the process jumps to step S119, and if there is a tab page to be checked next, the process further returns to step S114. It will be.
[0069]
FIG. 6 shows a display example of the tab browser. In the present embodiment, the tab pages of page file numbers # 1, # 2, # 3, # 4, and # 5 are the link page T1, the new news page T2, the search page T3, the MY page T4, and the community page T5, respectively. And can provide different services. Since the update has already been completed, re-downloading is unnecessary when switching between top pages, and communication efficiency can be improved. Note that it is possible to arbitrarily set which page file number is brought to the forefront when the tab browser is displayed. Here, an example is shown in which the new arrival news page T2 is set to the foreground.
[0070]
In this switching between pages, tab switching can be instructed by using the keypad 19 on the mobile phone 1 by, for example, either the left or right key operation. In FIG. 10, in the case of the tab browser display mode shown in FIG. 7A, when a tab switching operation (to the left tab page) is determined by the user's operation (step S311), the switching destination tab page Information is read from the tab page information 18B of the tab page RAM 18 (step S313). Based on the read tab page information of the switching destination, a link page T1 (switching tab page) is displayed on the forefront of the tab browser as shown in FIG. 7B (step S314).
[0071]
When the switching operation from the state of FIG. 7A to the right tab page is performed, a search page T3 (switch destination tab page) is displayed as shown in FIG. When the switching operation to the page is performed, the MY page T4 (switching destination tab page) is displayed as shown in FIG. Further, when switching to the tab page on the right side is performed, the community page T5 (switch destination tab page) is displayed as shown in FIG. 5E, and the page display reaches the rightmost end by moving between the tab pages. To do.
[0072]
If an operation for instructing access to a link within the same tab page is accepted instead of tab switching (step S312), normal link access processing is executed. Further, when it is not tab switching but link access (step S312), other processing according to the operation is executed.
[0073]
Here, processing when the web server 2 is accessed from the mobile phone 1 will also be described (step S211 in FIG. 8). As shown in FIG. 11, when the mobile phone 1 accesses the web server 2 (step 411), the update date of the page file is confirmed (step S412). Whether the page file is updated may be determined by comparing the update date corresponding to the page file in the page information 203B with the update date corresponding to the page file in the index file IDXF.
[0074]
If there is an update (step S413), a process for updating the update date of the corresponding page file number in the index file IDXF is executed (step S414). If there is no update, the process ends. The timing for transmitting the index file IDXF to the mobile phone 1 is after the processing of FIG. 11 is completed.
[0075]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce the amount of communication between the mobile terminal and the web server in browsing the web page, and improve the communication efficiency. That is, by downloading the index file IDXF in one communication, it is sufficient to determine whether or not the tab page information stored in the mobile phone 1 is updated without communicating with the web server 2. There is no need to generate communication with the web server 2 for checking whether or not the tab page is updated.
[0076]
As a result, the amount of packets for update confirmation of each tab page is reduced, which greatly contributes to cost reduction. In other words, if there are 5 tab pages, it is possible to save 1/5.
[0077]
In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, tab page information with update is downloaded while judging whether or not each tab page is updated. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, all tab pages may be updated at once, and updated tab page information may be downloaded together.
