[0028]
The registration function 33 associates URL information indicating a homepage browsed by the browser 30 with an information unit managed by the PIM 32, and is managed by the schedule management unit 34, the memo management unit 36, and the address book management unit 38, respectively. The URL information is registered in association with information units of various data in the schedule data 40, the memo data 42, and the address book data 44.
[0029]
Next, the operation of the information device having the above-described configuration will be described.
First, browser execution processing (homepage browsing processing using a browser) will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing browser execution processing by the information device. The program for realizing each process described in FIG. 3 is provided in the form of a program code readable by the CPU, for example, recorded in the storage medium 20a.
[0030]
First, when the execution of the browser 30 is instructed, the CPU 10 activates the browser 30 by executing a browser program stored in the RAM 14.
When the activated browser 30 is requested to execute access to a home page by specifying URL information, it connects to the Internet via the communication device 18 and acquires home page data indicated by the specified URL information (step A1). .
[0031]
The browser 30 displays the home page on the display device 16 based on the acquired home page data (HTML document) (step A2). If there is an instruction to change the page (step A4), the browser 30 acquires home page data of the designated page (Web page) via the Internet and displays it on the display device 16 (step A2). ).
[0032]
In this way, any home page or web page can be browsed by designating a link to another page of the home page or another home page provided on the home page (so-called “surfing the net”). In the meantime, when a home page that can receive provision of various useful information and services is found, the PIM 32 displays the URL information of the corresponding home page as follows by selecting a command prepared in the browser 30. It can be registered in relation to the data to be handled.
[0033]
That is, when an instruction to execute registration of the home page (URL information) is given in a state where the home page (Web page) is displayed (step A3), the browser 30 displays a storage mode selection menu. URL information can be registered according to the mode selected from (Step A5, A6).
[0034]
FIG. 4 shows an example of the browser display screen in a state where the storage mode selection menu is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the registration button 50 provided on the menu of the browser 30 is instructed in a state where the homepage indicated by the URL information “www: //xyz.co.jp” is displayed, and the storage mode selection menu 52 is displayed. Is displayed. The homepage indicated by the URL information “www: //xyz.co.jp” provides, for example, an online shopping service that ships a designated product as a present on a designated day.
[0035]
As shown in FIG. 4, the storage mode selection menu 52 includes items for selecting each mode of “schedule”, “memo”, “address book”, and “general”.
“Schedule” indicates a mode for registering URL information in association with schedule data 40 handled by the schedule management unit 34, and “Memo” indicates that URL information is associated with memo data 42 handled by the memo management unit 36. “Address book” indicates a mode in which URL information is associated with the address book data 44 handled by the address book management unit 38 and registered. “General” indicates a normal registration mode in which URL information is registered so that it can be easily specified in the browser 30.
[0036]
For example, it is assumed that “schedule” is selected in the storage mode selection menu 52 shown in FIG. 4 (step A6).
In this case, the browser 30 activates the schedule management unit 34 of the PIM 32 and displays a schedule screen for presenting data registered in the schedule data 40 (step A7). FIG. 5 shows an example of a state in which a schedule is displayed on the browser display screen.
[0037]
In the schedule display, the contents of the event and the date and time of the event are associated with each other and displayed as an information unit. For this schedule display, an information unit to be related to URL information can be specified by a pointer 54 that is moved by an operation of the input device 12 (a pointing device such as a mouse).
[0038]
In other words, if there is a homepage that provides a useful service among multiple homepages that you browsed by surfing the Internet, select the content of the event that uses the service provided by this homepage from the schedule display Thus, the URL information indicating the home page can be related to the event content.
[0039]
When the event content is designated in the schedule display, the browser 30 notifies the registration function 33 of the association of the URL information with the designated event content. In response to the notification from the browser 30, the registration function 33 registers URL information in the attachment area in accordance with the contents of the schedule specified in the schedule data 40, for example, as shown in FIG. 6 (step A8). .
[0040]
For example, when a homepage suitable for giving a present as shown in FIG. 4 is found, “Rin-chan's birthday” in FIG. 5 is selected as an event for sending a present by a service provided by this homepage. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, URL information “www: //xyz.co.jp” is registered in the attachment area of the schedule content “Birthday's birthday”.
[0041]
Note that an alarm function is provided as one of the functions of the schedule management unit 34. The alarm function is a function of outputting a predetermined notification (schedule alarm) when the date and time is reached when the date and time to be notified of the alarm is specified for the schedule content (event content).
[0042]
The example shown in FIG. 6 shows a state in which the alarm time “10/21” (time is omitted) is designated for the schedule content “Birthday of Aoi-chan”. Details of the schedule alarm will be described later.
[0043]
Further, in the schedule display, a predetermined attachment mark indicating that the URL information is related is added to the schedule contents related to the URL information by the operation as described above. In the example shown in FIG. 5, an attached mark 56 is added to the “party” scheduled for October 25, and URL information indicating any homepage is added. The operation for the attached mark 56 will be described later.
[0044]
When the registration using the storage mode selection menu 52 is completed in this way, the browser 30 returns to the state of displaying the home page (steps A14, A1, A2).
On the other hand, it is assumed that “memo” is selected in the storage mode selection menu 52 (step A6).
[0045]
In this case, the browser 30 activates the memo management unit 36 of the PIM 32 and displays a memo screen for presenting data registered in the memo data 42 (step A9).
[0046]
In the memo display, entered memo contents are displayed in a list as information units. Alternatively, a new memo input screen may be displayed. For this memo display, when a list is displayed, an information unit to be associated with URL information can be designated by operating the input device 12 in the same manner as in the case of “schedule”. .
[0047]
In other words, if there is a homepage that provides useful information related to the memo content among the multiple homepages browsed by surfing the Internet, the memo content related to the information provided by this homepage is listed. The URL information indicating the home page can be related to the memo content.
[0048]
When the memo content is designated in the memo display, the browser 30 notifies the registration function 33 of the association of the URL information with the designated memo content. In response to the notification from the browser 30, the registration function 33 registers URL information in the attachment area corresponding to the specified memo content in the memo data 42, for example, as shown in FIG. 7 (step A10).
[0049]
For example, when the memo content related to “influenza prevention method” is registered (FIG. 8), when a homepage providing information on influenza is found, the memo content related to the information provided by this homepage is “ As shown in FIG. 7, the URL information “www: //ABC.co.jp” is registered in the attachment area of the memo content “influenza prevention method” by selecting the memo content of “influenza prevention method” .
[0050]
In addition, in the memo display, for the memo contents associated with the URL information by the operation as described above, the URL information is associated in the memo display screen for displaying the memo contents as shown in FIG. A predetermined attachment mark 62 is added to indicate that it is present. The operation for the attached mark 62 will be described later.
[0051]
When the registration using the storage mode selection menu 52 is completed in this way, the browser 30 returns to the state of displaying the home page (steps A14, A1, A2).
In addition, it is assumed that “address book” is selected in the storage mode selection menu 52 (step A6).
[0052]
In this case, the browser 30 activates the address book management unit 38 of the PIM 32 and displays an address recording screen for presenting data registered in the address book data 44 (step A11).
[0053]
In the address book display, names such as individuals and organizations and various types of information such as addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, and company names are associated with each other and displayed as a list as an information unit. For this address book display, similarly to the case of “schedule”, an information unit (contents of a specific address book) to be related to URL information can be designated by operating the input device 12. .
[0054]
In other words, if there is a homepage that provides useful information related to the contents of the address book among the multiple homepages that you browse by surfing the Internet, the address book related to the information provided by this homepage By selecting the content from the list, the URL information indicating the home page can be related to the content of the address book. For example, when there is an item indicating the place of work (company name) in the address book, the website provided by the company registered as the work place in the address book is related to the contents of the address book and so on.
[0055]
When the content of a specific address book is designated in the address book display, the browser 30 notifies the registration function 33 of the association of URL information with the designated address book content. In response to the notification from the browser 30, the registration function 33 registers URL information in the attachment area corresponding to the contents of the designated address book in the address book data 44, for example, as shown in FIG. A12).
[0056]
For example, when an address book related to the name “BBBB” is registered (FIG. 10), the company registered as a company in the address book is “AAA Trading”, and a homepage related to this “AAA Trading” ( When the address information corresponding to the name “BBBB” is selected when the URL information “www: //AAA.com” is found, the address book corresponding to the name “BBBB” is selected as shown in FIG. URL information “www: //AAA.com” is registered in the attached area.
[0057]
In addition, in the address book display, as shown in FIG. 10, the URL information is displayed on the address book display screen for displaying the address book for the contents of the address book associated with the URL information by the operation as described above. A predetermined attachment mark 64 indicating that they are related is added. The operation on the attached mark 64 will be described later.
[0058]
When the registration using the storage mode selection menu 52 is completed in this way, the browser 30 returns to the state of displaying the home page (steps A14, A1, A2).
When “general” is selected in the storage mode selection menu 52, the browser 30 stores the URL information of the currently displayed home page as “favorites” in a predetermined storage area. The URL information registered by the “general” is displayed as a list by selecting a command prepared in the browser 30 and displayed as a list of “favorite” homepages. When URL information is selected from the list display, the browser 30 directly accesses and browses the home page indicated by the selected URL information.
[0059]
Thus, when browsing the home page by the browser 30, the function of the PIM 32 (schedule management unit 34, memo management unit 36, address book management unit 38 is used by using the storage mode selection menu 52 presented by an instruction to the registration button 50. URL information can be registered in association with the data handled by
[0060]
Next, the use of URL information associated with data handled by the function of the PIM 32 as described above will be described using the operation of the schedule management unit 34. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the operation of the schedule function by the schedule management unit 34.
[0061]
In the schedule management unit 34, it is assumed that the alarm function has been activated and, for example, as shown in FIG.
[0062]
The schedule management unit 34 sets an alarm time arbitrarily set for the information unit of the schedule data 40 to the alarm time area as an alarm time targeted for the immediate schedule alarm in the alarm time area. Yes. The schedule manager 34 constantly monitors whether the current time has reached the alarm time set in this alarm time area (step B1).
[0063]
When the schedule management unit 34 detects that the alarm time has been reached, the schedule management unit 34 displays a schedule alarm for notifying that the designated date has been reached (step B2).
[0064]
FIG. 12 shows an example of a schedule display screen on which a schedule alarm is displayed. In the schedule alarm shown in FIG. 12, the contents of the schedule are registered by displaying the schedule contents “Birthday of Chan-chan” and the notification “Number of days remaining until the date corresponding to the schedule contents”. Is explicitly notified.
[0065]
Here, the schedule management unit 34 determines whether or not URL information is registered in the attached area corresponding to the schedule content that is the target of the schedule alarm. If the URL information is registered, As shown in FIG. 12, an attached mark 66 is added to display a schedule alarm.
[0066]
If there is a confirmation instruction for the schedule alarm, the schedule management unit 34 ends the display of the schedule alarm (step B3).
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12, when the attached mark 66 is added to the schedule alarm, if there is an operation on the attached mark 66 (for example, a selection instruction by a pointing device) (step B4), the schedule managing unit 34 The browser 30 is activated, and the URL information of the attached area added to the schedule data currently targeted for the schedule alarm is read from the schedule data 40 and provided. When the URL information is provided by the schedule management unit 34, the browser 30 connects to the Internet via the communication device 18 and accesses the home page indicated by the URL information (step B5).
[0067]
The browser 30 acquires home page data from the home page indicated by the URL information and displays it as a home page attached to the schedule (attached home page) (step B6).
[0068]
This attached homepage is a homepage that has been registered as valid for the schedule content (“Moon ’s birthday”). In this case, a service provided by the homepage can be used to give a birthday present.
[0069]
On the displayed attached homepage, for example, you can receive the provision of services by setting and sending various information such as the name of the purchaser (applicant) of the present, the present product, the name and address of the recipient, and the delivery date Can do.
[0070]
When data transmission is not performed, that is, when the service provided by the homepage is not used, the browser 30 ends the connection with the Internet (step B7). Moreover, the schedule management part 34 complete | finishes the process about the schedule used as the object of the schedule alarm.
[0071]
On the other hand, when there is data transmission (step B7), the browser 30 transmits the designated information to the website (server) that is the homepage provider, and the schedule management unit 34 has transmitted data. To be notified.
[0072]
In response to the notification from the browser 30, the schedule management unit 34 searches the schedule data 40 for a schedule content similar to (or similar to) the schedule content subjected to data transmission (step B8). In the example described above, “birthday” of the schedule content is used as a keyword, and the schedule content registered on the subsequent date is searched to obtain other schedule content including “birthday”.
[0073]
In the example shown in FIG. 6, since the schedule content of “Haruka-chan's birthday” is registered on the date of December 25, this schedule content is obtained as the same schedule content as “Sakai-chan's birthday”. . The schedule management unit 34 displays other schedule contents obtained by searching from the schedule data 40 and displays a screen for inquiring whether or not to attach a home page.
[0074]
Here, when there is an instruction to attach a home page (step B9), the schedule management unit 34 indicates the home page where the data is actually transmitted to the attached area corresponding to the other schedule contents obtained by the search. Register information.
[0075]
If there are a plurality of other similar schedule contents, the schedule contents to which URL information is attached may be arbitrarily selected.
In the example shown in FIG. 6, the URL information “www: //xyz.co.jp” registered in the attachment area of the schedule content “Birthday of Haruka-chan” in the attachment area of schedule content “Birthday of Haruka-chan” The same URL information is registered.
[0076]
In this way, when sending data to the homepage and receiving the service provided by the homepage, it shows that it is actually useful for the schedule contents, so other similar schedules can also be By registering the same URL information in the attached area, a useful service provided by the homepage can be easily used for other schedule contents.
[0077]
In the above description, it is described that the homepage is accessed when the attached mark 66 added in the display of the schedule alarm is operated. However, the homepage is automatically accessed simultaneously with the schedule alarm. You may make it browse.
[0078]
In addition to the method of searching based on keywords as described above in order to obtain schedule contents similar to (or similar to) the schedule contents subjected to data transmission, a predetermined classification at the time of schedule registration. It is also possible to register in the attached area of other schedule contents included in the same classification. As a result, the same URL information is registered even for schedule contents not necessarily including a character string as a keyword, and the same service provided by the homepage can be easily used.
[0079]
Further, in the schedule management unit 34, the attachment added to the schedule contents in the schedule display when the normal schedule function is executed as shown in FIG. 5, not by the operation on the attachment mark 66 added in the display of the schedule alarm. Even when the mark 56 is operated, it is possible to access the home page indicated by the URL information registered corresponding to the schedule content. In this case, the service provided by the homepage related to the schedule content can be used at an arbitrary timing.
[0080]
Similarly, the memo management unit 36 and the address book management unit 38 access the home page indicated by the URL information by operating the attached mark added to the data on each data display screen, and information provided by the home page Can be referred to.
[0081]
That is, as shown in FIG. 8, when an operation is performed on the attached mark 62 displayed on the memo display screen, the memo managing unit 36 is based on the URL information registered in the attached area of the contents of the displayed memo. The home page data can be acquired via the browser 30 and the home page providing information related to the memo contents can be displayed.
[0082]
Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the address book management unit 38 performs an operation on the attached mark 64 displayed in association with a specific address book (the address book relating to the name “BBBB” in FIG. 10) on the address book display screen. If the URL information registered in the attached area of the address book content is acquired, the home page data is acquired via the browser 30 and the home page providing information related to the contents of the address book is displayed. Can do. For example, it is possible to browse a homepage related to a company indicating a work place registered in the address book.
[0083]
Further, in the above-described embodiment, when browsing a home page, it is described as being connected to the Internet via the communication device 18 and acquiring home page data via the Internet. However, for example, the storage device 20 (or the The homepage data recorded in the storage medium 20a) may be read and browsed. Then, referring to the home page, when data is transmitted in order to actually use the service provided by the home page, it connects to the Internet.
[0084]
In this way, URL information indicating a useful home page is registered for each information unit in association with data handled in the PIM 32, and the functions of the PIM 32 (schedule management unit 34, memo management unit 36, address book management unit 38) are registered. It is possible to browse the home page directly using the URL information continued to be associated with the information unit, and use services and information provided by the home page.
