PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To display specific objects in a page described in a markup language such as a web page in an easier-to-view manner than before.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus 1 includes: a control analysis part 103 for extracting control serving as an object to input or select information or to issue a command from the web page by analyzing the web page described in the markup language; and an aggregated list page drawing part 105 for displaying an aggregated list page on which extracted control is lined up on a display.

Description

  The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus having a function of displaying a page described in a markup language on a display, a control method thereof, and the like.

  In recent years, image forming apparatuses having various functions such as copying, PC printing, scanning, faxing, and file servers have become widespread. Such an image forming apparatus is called a “multifunction machine” or “MFP (Multi Function Peripherals)”.

  In addition, an image forming apparatus provided with a browser for browsing web pages (sometimes referred to as “web browser” or “WWW browser”) has also been proposed.

  However, there is a limit to the size of the display surface of the display that can be provided in the image forming apparatus. Therefore, it is difficult to provide the image forming apparatus with a display having a large display surface used in a personal computer.

  However, in general, web pages are often created according to the size of the display surface of a display for a personal computer. Accordingly, even if the image forming apparatus has a browser function, the display provided in the image forming apparatus must display the web page in a reduced size. This makes it difficult for the user to read and manipulate the web page. Alternatively, the portion of the web page displayed on the display must be more limited than in the case of a personal computer. Then, the user has to perform the scrolling operation more frequently than in the case of a personal computer, which is troublesome.

  Thus, the following method has been proposed for displaying or operating a web page or the like on a display having a small display surface. The mobile phone reads a document described in a markup language format from the communication unit and displays it on the display unit. In addition, link information is detected from the displayed document. Here, a pointer is displayed on the display unit, and the position coordinates of the pointer are detected. Based on the position coordinates of the pointer, link information and dial buttons are assigned and stored in the link assignment table. When the user presses the dial button, the link destination URL is read from the link assignment table, and the WEB page is moved (Patent Document 1).

  The following method has also been proposed. The MFP includes a plurality of keys, an operation unit that receives a user operation, a data acquisition unit that acquires a Web page described in a markup language, and an extraction that extracts link information included in the acquired Web page And an allocating unit that allocates an allocation command for executing a process for link destination data specified by the extracted link information to at least one of a plurality of keys (Patent Document 2).

  According to the conventional method described above, since a button or key is assigned to each link, it is possible to select a link more easily than the conventional method of selecting with a mouse pointer or a finger even when a web page is reduced and displayed. Can do.

  However, the web page is difficult to view as long as it is displayed in a reduced size. In particular, an object called “control” or the like, such as a link and a form, on which a user inputs information, selects information, or gives an instruction is required to be easy to see. Otherwise, the user takes time for the operation or causes an operation error.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to display a specific object in a page described in a markup language such as a web page more easily than in the past.

  An image forming apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention includes an object extraction unit that extracts an object for inputting or selecting information or giving a command from a page described in a markup language. List display processing means for displaying on the display a list in which the objects are arranged.

  Preferably, when any one of the objects is selected from the list, an object-related processing unit that executes the same processing as when the selected object is selected on the page is included. .

  Alternatively, when the selected object is a hyperlink, the object-related processing means downloads another page based on a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) set for the selected object as the processing. Perform the process.

  Alternatively, the display includes a touch panel on the display surface, and the object-related processing unit inputs information to the selected object as the processing when the selected object is a text box. The keyboard image is displayed on the display.

  Alternatively, when the selected object is an information transmission command button, the object-related processing means transmits information related to the selected object to a transmission destination set in the selected object. Perform the process.

  Alternatively, when any one of the objects is selected from the list, the page is enlarged and displayed on the display so that the selected object is arranged in the center. Display processing means.

  According to the present invention, an object for inputting or selecting information or giving a command in a page described in a markup language can be displayed more easily than before.

  The user can give a command to the image forming apparatus 1 or input data by operating the operation panel 10e.

  The network interface 10 f is a NIC (Network Interface Card) for communicating with the web server 2 and the personal computer 3 by TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) via the communication line 4.

  The modem 10i communicates with other fax terminals using the G3 protocol via the fixed telephone network.

  The ROM 10c or the mass storage device 10d stores software modules for realizing the browser engine 10, the control manager 12, and the operation panel controller 13 shown in FIG. These software modules are loaded into the RAM 10b as necessary and executed by the CPU 10a. A hard disk, flash memory, SSD (Solid State Drive), or the like is used as the mass storage device 10d.

  The browser engine 10 is an extension of a conventional web browser, and as shown in FIG. 5, a browser screen drawing unit 101, a web page data acquisition unit 102, a control analysis unit 103, an entire web page drawing unit 104, an aggregation, A list page drawing unit 105, a keyboard image drawing unit 106, an input data transmission control unit 107, a web page enlargement drawing unit 108, and the like.

  The “control” is an object that is a target of an operation by the user among objects constituting the web page. “Operation” includes operations for inputting and selecting information, as well as operations for giving commands.

  For example, a hyperlink corresponds to a control. The hyperlink is an object for the user to select a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of another web page. Sometimes called simply “link”.

  Objects such as text boxes, radio buttons, check boxes, pull-down menus, reset buttons, and transfer buttons that form forms also correspond to controls. Forms are used by the user to enter and select data and provide commands.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the control manager 12 includes a control registration unit 121, a list page data providing unit 122, and a pressed control determination unit 123. With this configuration, the control manager 12 performs a process for managing the control information of the web page downloaded by the browser engine 10.

  The operation panel controller 13 includes an event notification unit 131 and a screen display control unit 132 as shown in FIG. With such a configuration, the operation panel controller 13 performs a process of displaying a browser screen or the like on the liquid crystal display 10e1 and a process of notifying the browser engine 10 or the control manager 12 of an operation performed on the operation panel 10e.

  According to the browser engine 10, the control manager 12, and the operation panel controller 13, the user can browse various web pages published on the Internet. Furthermore, the control operation can be easily performed using a list (see FIG. 15) in which the controls included in the web page are aggregated.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of the web page 5WB. 9, 10, and 11 are sequence diagrams illustrating an example of a processing procedure of the image forming apparatus 1. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the browser screen 50. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of the browser screen 50 when the web page 5WB is displayed. FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the flow of HTML analysis processing. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of the aggregation list page 5LT. FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of the browser screen 50 when the web page 5WB is enlarged. FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of a keyboard image.

  Next, taking as an example the case where the user browses the web page 5WB shown in FIG. 8, each part of the browser engine 10 shown in FIG. 5, each part of the control manager 12 shown in FIG. 6, and the operation panel controller 13 shown in FIG. The processing contents of each unit will be described with reference to the sequence diagrams shown in FIGS.

  The event notification unit 131 of the operation panel controller 13 detects the operation every time the user operates the operation panel 10 e and notifies the browser engine 10 or the control manager 12 of the detected operation.

  When the user presses the browser call function key, the event notification unit 131 notifies the browser engine 10 that the browser call function key has been pressed (# 761 in FIG. 9).

  Then, the browser screen drawing unit 101 of the browser engine 10 generates a bitmap of the browser screen 50 as shown in FIG. 12 (# 701). That is, the browser screen 50 is drawn. The browser screen 50 mainly includes a URL designation box 51, a web page area 52, and the like.

  The screen display control unit 132 displays the bitmap of the browser screen 50 generated by the browser screen drawing unit 101 on the liquid crystal display 10e1 (see FIG. 3) (# 762). In addition, the screen display control unit 132 displays a bitmap generated by the entire web page drawing unit 104, the aggregated list page drawing unit 105, the keyboard image drawing unit 106, or the web page enlarged drawing unit 108, which will be described later, on the liquid crystal display 10e1. The web page area 52 is displayed.

  The URL designation box 51 is a text box for designating the URL of the web page.

  The user can designate the URL of the web page to be browsed by inputting it in the URL designation box 51. Alternatively, the user can specify the URL of the web page that the user wants to browse by pressing a hyperlink in the web page displayed in the web page area 52.

  The event notification unit 131 notifies the browser engine 10 of an operation for specifying the URL of the web page (# 763).

  Then, the web page data acquisition unit 102 controls the network interface 10f so that the web page data is downloaded (acquired) from the web server 2 based on the URL specified by the user (# 702, # 801). . The data of the web page is mainly a file described in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) (a so-called HTML file) and an image file shown in the HTML file.

  The entire web page drawing unit 104 generates a bitmap of the entire web page based on the downloaded HTML file and image file (# 703). That is, the web page is drawn. In this example, a bitmap of the web page 5WB shown in FIG. 8 is generated.

  The screen display control unit 132 displays the web page 5WB that has been bitmapped by the entire web page drawing unit 104 in the web page area 52 as shown in FIG. 13 (# 764).

  It is not necessary to store the entire web page 5WB in the web page area 52. The entire web page drawing unit 104 draws the web page 5WB so that the size of characters is equal to or larger than a predetermined size. As a result, when the web page 5WB does not fit in the web page area 52, the screen display control unit 132 displays a part of the web page 5WB in the web page area 52. Then, the web page 5WB is scrolled according to the user's operation, and the remaining part is displayed.

  In parallel with or before and after the drawing and display processing of the web page 5WB, the control analysis unit 103 analyzes the downloaded HTML file to extract the controls included in the web page 5WB (# 704).

  The control registration unit 121 of the control manager 12 performs a process of registering the control extracted by the control analysis unit 103 (# 731).

  Here, HTML file analysis processing and control registration processing will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  When the HTML file is downloaded (# 601 in FIG. 14), the control analysis unit 103 searches a set of tags representing controls in order from the top of the HTML file (# 602).

  An example of a control is a hyperlink. Furthermore, the above-mentioned text box and radio button constituting the form can be mentioned.

  The hyperlink code is a set of <A HREF> tag and </A> tag and a code sandwiched between both tags. On the other hand, the form code is a set of <FORM> tag and </ FORM> tag and a code sandwiched between both tags. Between the two tags, in addition to the <INPUT TYPE> tag, the code of the object for input described above is described by a set of <TEXT AREA> and </ TEXT AREA>. Hereinafter, the code representing the control is referred to as “control code 6”.

  Each time the control analysis unit 103 finds the control code 6 (Yes in # 603), it requests the control registration unit 121 of the control manager 12 to register the control (# 604). At this time, the control code 6 of the control is passed to the control registration unit 121.

  The control registration unit 121 stores the control code 6 passed from the control analysis unit 103. At this time, a sequential number indicating the order of delivery is attached. That is, “1”, “2”,... “N” are assigned as sequential numbers to the control codes 6 passed to the first, second,.

  When the control analysis unit 103 searches to the end of the downloaded HTML file (Yes in # 605), the control analysis unit 103 ends the analysis process.

  Returning to the sequence diagrams of FIGS. 9 to 11, when the user presses the call button for the aggregate list page, the event notification unit 131 notifies the browser engine 10 that the call button for the aggregate list page has been pressed. Notification is made (# 765 in FIG. 10).

  Then, the aggregate list page drawing unit 105 generates a bitmap of the aggregate list page 5LT as shown in FIG. 15, that is, draws the aggregate list page as follows (# 704, # 705).

  The aggregation list page drawing unit 105 requests the control code 6 from the control manager 12 (# 704). Then, the list page data providing unit 122 of the control manager 12 gives the control code 6 stored in the control registration unit 121 to the aggregated list page drawing unit 105 (# 732).

  By the way, in the aggregation list page 5LT, a list in which the controls of the web page 5WB downloaded from the web server 2 are aggregated is arranged. In the example of FIG. 15, the aggregation list page 5LT has two columns, but may be one column or three or more columns depending on the size or shape of the display area. .

  The aggregated list page drawing unit 105 reproduces a control image (bitmap) based on each control code 6 given from the list page data providing unit 122. Then, by arranging the sequential numbers (first and third columns from the left) of each control code 6 and the reproduced images (second and fourth columns from the left) in ascending order of the sequential numbers, the aggregation list page 5LT is displayed. Generate (# 705).

  The screen display controller 132 causes the liquid crystal display 10e1 to display the aggregated list page 5LT that has been bitmapped by the aggregated list page drawing unit 105 (# 766). The aggregation list page 5LT may be displayed over the web page 5WB.

  The user can operate the web page 5WB by pressing the control image or sequential number in the aggregate list page 5LT.

  The event notification unit 131 notifies the pressed control determination unit 123 of the pressed position of the aggregation list page 5LT (# 767).

  Then, the pressed control determination unit 123 determines which control image or sequential number the user has pressed based on the position notified from the event notification unit 131, and gives the determination result to the browser engine 10 (#). 733).

  The web page data acquisition unit 102, the entire web page drawing unit 104, the keyboard image drawing unit 106, the web page data acquisition unit 102, the input data transmission control unit 107, and the web page enlargement drawing unit 108 are determined by the press control determination unit 123. Depending on the result, one of the following processing is performed.

  If it is determined that an image of a certain control has been pressed (Case_1), the web page enlargement / drawing unit 108 enlarges and redraws the web page 5WB so that the image of the control becomes a predetermined size or more. (# 706). Then, the screen display control unit 132 redisplays the enlarged web page 5WB in the web page area 52 so that the image of the control is centered (# 768). For example, when it is determined that the hyper ring image “details” has been pressed, the web page enlargement drawing unit 108 and the screen display control unit 132 redisplay the web page 5WB as shown in FIG. When the control image is pressed, the display of the aggregate list page 5LT is stopped. Similarly, when a sequential number, which will be described later, is pressed, the display of the aggregation list page 5LT is stopped.

  Alternatively, if it is determined that a sequential number of a certain control has been pressed, the entire web page drawing unit 104, the keyboard image drawing unit 106, the web page data acquisition unit 102, or the input data transmission control unit 107 determines whether the web page 5WB The same processing is performed as when the same control as that control is pressed.

  When it is determined that the sequential number of the hyperlink (for example, “1” in the aggregation list page 5LT illustrated in FIG. 15) is pressed (Case_2), the web page data acquisition unit 102 displays the URL related to the hyperlink. Based on this, the network interface 10f is controlled so that data such as an HTML file of the web page is downloaded from the web server 2 (# 707, # 802 in FIG. 11).

  Then, the entire web page drawing unit 104 generates a bitmap of the entire web page based on the downloaded data (# 708), and the screen display control unit 132 is converted into a bitmap instead of the web page 5WB. The web page is newly displayed on the liquid crystal display 10e1 (# 769). At this time, the control analysis unit 103 extracts the control included in the new web page by analyzing the downloaded HTML file (# 709), and stores it in the control registration unit 121 (# 734). .

  However, each control code 6 is associated with an identifier of the original web page so that the control code 6 of the new web page is not mixed with the control code 6 of the previous web page (web page 5WB in this example). You may memorize | store in the control registration part 121. FIG. Alternatively, the control code 6 of the previous web page may be deleted from the control registration unit 121.

  Alternatively, when it is determined that a control such as a text box that requires input from the keyboard is pressed (Case_3), the keyboard image drawing unit 106 draws a keyboard image as shown in FIG. # 710). Then, the screen display control unit 132 displays the keyboard image superimposed on the web page 5WB (# 770). However, the position of the keyboard image is adjusted so that it does not overlap the controls.

  Alternatively, when it is determined that the sequential number of the control for selection such as a radio button or a check button (for example, “4” of the aggregation list page 5LT shown in FIG. 15) is pressed (Case_4), the entire web page drawing The unit 104 redraws the web page 5WB so that the item corresponding to the pressed control is selected (# 711), and the screen display control unit 132 redisplays the web page 5WB (# 771).

  Alternatively, when it is determined that the sequential number of the transfer button (Submit button) (for example, “5” in the aggregation list page 5LT illustrated in FIG. 15) is pressed (Case_5), the input data transmission control unit 107 The network interface 10f is controlled so that the contents of the input or selection made for the control of the form related to the transfer button are transferred to the web server 2 (# 712, # 803).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the controls in the web page can be displayed more easily than in the past. Furthermore, it is possible to make the user perform control operations more easily than in the past.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating a modification of the aggregation list page 5LT. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, the control image on the aggregation list page 5LT is reproduced by the control code 6, but the part (part) including the control from the image (bitmap) of the base web page 5WB. Image) may be cut out and saved, and reproduced as shown in FIG. 18 using a partial image.

  By reproducing in this way, it is possible to let the user know not only the control but also the surroundings as in the control image with the sequential number “1”.

However, in order not to be confused with other controls, it is desirable to acquire the partial image based on the following rules.
(1) The maximum size of a partial image is set to vertical Lh and horizontal Lw. Therefore, when the size of the target control exceeds the maximum size, a part of the control is cut out as a partial image.
(2) Adjust the range so that other controls do not enter the partial image. For example, there are other controls such as a button “Create an account >>”, a hyperlink “About XXX”, and a hyperlink “Terms of use” around the hyperlink control “New!”. (See FIG. 8) When the partial image of this control is cut out, the range is adjusted so that these other controls are not included.

  In this embodiment, when a sequential number in the aggregation list page 5LT is selected, the control performs the same processing as when the control is selected in the web page 5WB, and when the image is selected, the control is The web page 5WB was enlarged and redisplayed so as to be arranged in the center. This may be reversed. That is, the same processing as when the control is selected when the image is selected is performed, and the web page 5WB is enlarged and displayed so that the control is arranged in the center when the sequential number is selected. You may fix it.

  The sequential number may be selected from the ten keys of the key group 10e2 (see FIG. 3). Further, when a sequential number is selected from the numeric keypad, the same processing as when the control corresponding to the sequential number is selected in the web page 5WB may be performed, and the control is arranged in the center. The web page 5WB may be enlarged and displayed again.

  When the key group 10e2 is provided with a key for inputting characters such as alphabets, the characters may be associated with each control instead of the sequential number and used in the aggregate list page 5LT.

  In the present embodiment, a web page described in HMTL has been described as an example. However, the present invention can also be applied to a web page described in another markup language such as XML (Extensible Markup Language).

  In addition, the configuration of the entire image forming apparatus 1 or each unit, the processing content, the processing order, the configuration of the list, and the like can be appropriately changed in accordance with the spirit of the present invention.
