  The function and operation of the capture process according to the present invention will be described below. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an outline of the capture processing of the present invention. Vertical lines indicate the passage of time, and horizontal dotted lines indicate the movement of information and data. Note that the server (terminal) 1 is pre-registered in the server 2 with a server ID (UID), name, mail address, and the like. In S10, the server terminal 1 browses the Web using a known browser. That is, the URL of a desired page is transmitted.

  In S11, the server 2 receives the URL. If it is an official site (server) authorized by a carrier (communication company) of the mobile phone network, the UID (server-specific identification information) of the accessed mobile phone can be obtained from the mobile phone network. Identification (authentication) is possible. Moreover, you may authenticate with a server ID and a password.

  In S12, the server 2 reads necessary data from the DB 3 and generates a page. In S13, the server 2 transmits the generated page to the terminal 1. In S14, the page data transmitted in association with the server terminal 1 in the server is temporarily stored. The storage format of page data is HTML or a subset thereof. An ID number of the page may be assigned to the page to be transmitted, and the page information may be stored corresponding to the ID number.

  In S15, the page received by the terminal 1 is displayed. FIG. 5A is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the terminal 1. This example is a game ranking display screen. The screen 50 displays a title, date, current ranking, score, nickname, and the like. A “capture” button 51 that is a link for the terminal to make a capture request is displayed below.

  In S16, it is determined whether or not to capture depending on whether or not the server has performed a capture instruction operation for selecting / determining the “capture” button 51. If the result is affirmative, the process proceeds to S17. In S <b> 17, the terminal 1 transmits a capture request to the server 2. If the page ID is assigned, a request with the page ID information added is transmitted.

  In S18, the server 2 receives the capture request, and in S19, the page data temporarily stored in S14 is read and stored in a state that can be browsed on the Web. (The file is moved to a public folder in the Web server.) The page data is deleted after a certain period of time, for example.

  In S20, a URL corresponding to the page data stored on the Web in the server 2 is generated, described in the mail, and transmitted to the server terminal 2. In S21, a capture completion screen is transmitted from the server 2 to the terminal 1. In S22, a capture completion screen is displayed on the terminal 1. Here, the storage period may be displayed. In S23, it is determined whether or not browsing is finished. If the result is negative, the process returns to S10. This completes the screen capture process.

  Next, confirmation of the capture screen and notification to others will be described. In S30, the mail containing the URL transmitted from the server 2 at the mailer of the terminal 1 is received. In S31, the mailer opens a mail and clicks (selects) a URL in the text. Then, the browser is activated and transmits the URL to the server. In S32, the server 2 receives the URL, and in S33, the captured page data stored based on the URL is read from the DB 3 and transmitted to the terminal. In S34, the storage page is displayed on the terminal 1.

  FIG. 5B is an explanatory diagram illustrating a display example of a saved page. A display 57 indicating that this screen is a save screen is added above the screen 55. In addition, the server has a function of processing page data published on the Web so that the original page can be accessed. The “capture” button on the original screen is changed to the “original URL” button 56. Linked to the page. When the server selects and operates this button, for example, the current ranking screen is displayed.

In S35, the server operates the mailer to transfer the URL-containing mail received in S30 to the person who wants to view this screen. The person who received the mail can browse and transfer by performing the same processing as S30 to S35.
Through the processing as described above, a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone can capture, store, and notify a mail screen. Further, since screen data is not stored in the terminal, the amount of memory used can be reduced.

  Although the embodiments have been described above, the following modifications are also conceivable for the present invention. In the embodiment, an example in which the terminal 1 receives a mail containing a URL has been disclosed. That is, the terminal is redirected to the save URL of the captured screen, and the save screen is displayed on the terminal. If necessary, the server can store the URL (register it in a bookmark) and send it to a person who wants to see an email describing the URL so that it can be shown to others. This method can be implemented without server registration.

  In the embodiment, an example of saving in a format such as HTML in the server has been disclosed, but it is also possible to convert and save it in a format of image data such as GIF or JPEG. Further, the converted image data may be transmitted to the terminal 1 by mail according to a request from the server. In this way, the server can perform storage, processing, transfer, printing, etc. by itself.

Regarding the storage page management method, an example is disclosed in which the storage amount is unlimited and only a predetermined period is stored. However, only the last page the server has seen last, or a predetermined number of last pages may be stored, When a predetermined capacity is exceeded for each server, old data may be deleted.
In the embodiment, an example has been disclosed in which transmission page data is temporarily stored and disclosed on the Web based on a capture request from the terminal. However, all transmission page data may be temporarily stored on the Web from the beginning.

  The present invention can be used in the industrial field of data communication systems and information processing systems including mobile terminals such as mobile phones, server devices, mobile phone networks, and the Internet.
