The invention according to claim 8 includes at least one search browsing program according to any one of claims 2 to 5.

Although it can be realized in various embodiments, first, an example in the case of implementation as a WEB browser will be described.

In general, a WEB browser is configured and operated by computer hardware and a program stored in its storage device. Therefore, since the present invention is an invention of a system and a program, in this embodiment, the movement of both the system and the program is followed through the operation of the WEB browser based on the present invention.

Hereinafter, hardware provided with storage means, output means, calculation means, input means, and communication means will be referred to as a personal computer (FIG. 1). In general, the storage means is a RAM, ROM, hard disk, the output means is a display device, the calculation means is a CPU, the input means is a keyboard, a mouse, etc. Connected to. Also, unless otherwise noted, the following examples operate using the personal computer.

In a conventional WEB browser, a program is stored in a storage means in a personal computer. When a request for movement to a URL occurs, the URL is accessed, and communication is performed using a predetermined protocol (for example, http). The content indicated by the URL is acquired, and the personal computer renders the content using a designated program, which is output as a WEB page through the output means. This is typically an output to a display device.

In addition, when the content to be displayed is vertically long, the conventional WEB browser hides the lower part of the content and displays only the upper part in a scrollable state.

In the present invention, keywords are stored in advance in the storage means of the personal computer, and after the content indicated by the URL is obtained, keyword matching is performed with the content using the calculation means in the personal computer, and the location of the content that first matches the keyword is determined. The part of the content to be included is displayed on the screen.

This is performed by the program controlling the hardware, and the program of the step shown in FIG. 2 performs this. In step S01, content is acquired. In S02, the keyword is matched with the content. In S03, the portion of the content including the location of the content that first matches the keyword is displayed on the screen.

When performing keyword highlighting, the highlighting may be applied to all matching keywords, and then the portion of the content including the location of the first matching content may be displayed on the screen.

This is performed by the program controlling the hardware, and the program of the step shown in FIG. 3 performs this. In step S04, content is acquired. In step S05, keyword matching and keyword highlighting are performed. In step S06, a portion of the content including the location of the content that first matches the keyword is displayed on the screen.

Of course, this may be done by scrolling after the content is displayed once and displaying the portion of the content including the location of the matched content on the screen.

Of course, it may be an arbitrary location, for example, a second matching location, etc., instead of the location of the first matching content.

When a plurality of keywords are specified, it is possible to perform matching using only one of them.

When a plurality of keywords are specified, matching may be performed using all the keywords, and a part of the content including the most matched place in all the keywords may be displayed on the screen.

This is performed by the program controlling the hardware, and the program of the step shown in FIG. 4 performs this. In step S07, content is acquired. In step S08, a plurality of keywords are matched to obtain a place where the most keywords are matched. In step S09, a portion of the content including the obtained place is displayed on the screen.

When the place where the most keywords match is obtained, as shown in FIG. 5, all the places to be matched are stored in step S10, the place distribution is calculated in step S11, and the place is most distributed in step S12. The part of the content including the location is displayed on the screen.

Next, an example of implementation as a list browser will be described.

There is little difference between the list browser embodiment and the WEB browser embodiment, but it is very useful to be able to see the specified keyword immediately because of the list browser's characteristic of switching many pages quickly. It is.

Next, we will explain an example of an e-book reader.

Even if it is an electronic book reader, it is a browser for browsing a certain file, so it is basically not a substitute for a WEB browser or a list browser. The content format is different.

Even when browsing an electronic book, it is very useful that a keyword specified in advance is presented immediately, which can reduce the burden on the reader.

The invention's effect

According to the present invention, a content viewer can quickly browse target information.

It is a figure of a personal computer. It is a flowchart in the case of displaying the place to match. It is a flowchart in case highlighting is also performed. It is a flowchart in the case of displaying a place with many matchings. It is a flowchart which acquires the place where most keywords match.
