The enclosure information 148 includes an enclosure tag 158, an enclosure URL 159, a length 160, and a type 161. Character strings 159 to 161 are character strings specified by the enclosure tag 158. The enclose URL 159 is the URL of the content. The enclosing URL 159 may be a URL different from the link URL 157. Therefore, the update content information 132 may include two or more URLs. The length 160 is the data size of the content corresponding to the enclosure URL 159. The type 161 is information for specifying the type of content corresponding to the enclose URL 159.

(Feed information analysis processing)
Next, feed information analysis processing for the CPU 14 of the multi-function device 10 to acquire and analyze feed information will be described. The feed information analysis process operates as an independent task, and is executed from the time of activation of the multi-function device 10 according to the Internet connection program 20 and the feed information analysis program 22 (see FIG. 2). FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of feed information analysis processing.

  The CPU 14 waits until the update time is reached (S40). The update time may be set by a user or may be determined by a program, for example. When the update time is reached, the process proceeds to S42. In S42, the CPU 14 acquires the number of URLs (the number of sites) stored in the URL storage area 44 (see FIG. 2) of the NVRAM 40 (S42). As shown in FIG. 4, in this embodiment, n URLs are stored in the URL storage area 44. For this purpose, the CPU 14 acquires “n” in S42. Next, the CPU 14 initializes the counter i (S44). The CPU 14 determines whether or not the counter i is smaller than n (S46). If YES here, the process proceeds to S48.

  In S <b> 48, the CPU 14 acquires the URL of the i-th site from the URL storage area 44. For example, when acquiring the URL of the zeroth site, “http://www.example0.com” is acquired in the example of FIG. Next, the CPU 14 accesses the URL acquired in S48 according to the Internet connection program 20, and acquires feed information (S50). The feed information includes site information 120 and updated content information 132 shown in FIG. The CPU 14 creates the display information 112 shown in FIG. 5 by analyzing the feed information (S52). The CPU 14 stores the display information 112 created in S52 in the display information storage area 36 (S54). For example, when the display information 112 of the zeroth site is created, the CPU 14 clears the old display information 112 associated with the number “i = 0” and associates it with the number “i = 0”. Display information 112 is stored. Subsequently, the CPU 14 adds 1 to the counter i (S56), and returns to S46. By executing the processing of FIG. 7, the latest feed information of each site is stored in the display information storage area 36.

(Display processing)
Next, a display process for displaying the feed information by the CPU 14 of the multi-function device 10 will be described. The display process operates as an independent task, and is executed from the time of activation of the multi-function device 10 according to the feed information display program 24 (see FIG. 2). FIG. 8 shows a flowchart of the display process.

  The multi-function device 10 has a plurality of states such as a power saving state, a standby state, and a function execution state. In the power saving state, nothing is displayed on the display panel 50 (the display panel 50 is turned off). When an operation for canceling the power saving state is applied to the keypad 52 during the power saving state, the state shifts to the standby state. In the standby state, information for selecting a function is displayed on the display panel 50 (the display panel 50 is lit). The upper diagram shown in FIG. 12 shows an example of the display panel 50 on which a button 170 for selecting a function is displayed. The user can input a function execution instruction to the multi-function device 10 by operating the button 170. In this case, it shifts to the function execution state. In the function execution state, information about the function being executed (for example, the number of copies) is displayed on the display panel 50. Note that a function execution instruction may be input to the multi-function device 10 even during the power saving state. For example, a print instruction from the PCs 70 and 71 may be input to the multi-function device 10 in the power saving state. Also in this case, the function execution state is entered.

  When the function being executed in the multi-function device 10 is completed, the state shifts to a standby state (although it may shift to a power saving state). Further, when an event (operation of the display panel 50 or keypad 52, print instruction from the PCs 70 and 71, etc.) does not occur for a predetermined time during the standby state, the state shifts to the power saving state.

  CPU14 waits until it transfers to a standby state from a power saving state or a function execution state (S70). If it shifts to a standby state, it will progress to S72. In S72, the CPU 14 acquires the number of URLs (the number of sites) stored in the URL storage area 44 (see FIG. 2) of the NVRAM 40 (S72). This process is the same as the process of S42 of FIG. In the present embodiment, the CPU 14 acquires “n” in S72. Next, the CPU 14 initializes the counter i (S74). The CPU 14 determines whether or not the counter i is smaller than n (S76). If YES here, the process proceeds to S78.

  In S <b> 78, the CPU 14 acquires site information included in the display information of the i-th site from the display information storage area 36 of the RAM 30. For example, in the case of the zeroth site, site information 120 (site title character string 122 and feed update date / time information 124) is acquired in the example of FIG. Next, the CPU 14 specifies the number of contents of the i-th site (S80). For example, in the case of the zeroth site, there are m contents in the example of FIG. In this case, the CPU 14 specifies “m” in S80. Next, the CPU 14 initializes the counter j (S82). The CPU 14 determines whether or not the counter j is smaller than m (S84). If YES here, the process proceeds to S88.

  In S <b> 88, the CPU 14 acquires the j-th updated content information 132 of the i-th site from the display information storage area 36 of the RAM 30. Thereby, the content title character string 140, the content update date / time information 142, the content summary character string 144, the link information 146, and the enclosure information 148 of one content are acquired. Next, the CPU 14 specifies the type 161 (see FIG. 6) from the enclosure information 148 acquired in S88 (S90). In the example of FIG. 6, “audio / mpeg” is specified. Subsequently, the CPU 14 specifies the icon data 212 associated with the type 161 specified in S90 from the icon information storage area 26 (see FIG. 3) (S92). For example, when “audio / mpeg” is specified in S90, icon data 212 including the character string “audio” is specified in S92. Note that, as described above, the update content information 132 may not include the enclosure information 148. In this case, type 161 is not specified in S90. As a result, in S92, the icon data 212 including the character string “text” associated with the character string “none” of type in the icon information storage area 26 (see the combination data 200 in FIG. 3) is specified.

  Next, the CPU 14 acquires the site title character string 122 acquired in S78, the content title character string 140 acquired in S88, the content update date / time information 142 acquired in S88, and the icon data 212 specified in S92. Is transmitted to the display panel 50 (S94). As a result, the content title character string 178 is displayed on the display panel 50 as shown in the upper diagram of FIG. The content title character string 178 is moved and displayed (for example, moved from right to left). That is, the content title character string 178 is displayed in a telop shape. Icons 174 and 176 are displayed on the top side (left side) of the content title character string 178. For example, when the icon data 212 including the character string “text” is specified in S92, the icon 174 is displayed. If the icon data 212 including the character string “audio” is specified in S92, the icon 176 is displayed. Icons 174 and 176 are also displayed in a telop shape together with the content title character string 178. The site title character string 122 and the content update date / time information 142 may be displayed on the display panel 50 or may not be displayed. When S94 ends, the process proceeds to S100 in FIG.

  In S100, the CPU 14 waits until an event occurs. If an event occurs, the process proceeds to S102. In S102, the CPU 14 determines whether or not an event has occurred in which the telop display of the content title character string 178 has ended. In the case of YES here, the CPU 14 adds 1 to the counter j (S104), and proceeds to S84 in FIG. If it is determined in S84 that the counter j is smaller than m, the CPU 14 executes S88 to S94 again. As a result, the content title character string 178 is displayed as a telop on the basis of the next updated content information (for example, the first updated content information). If the content title character string 178 is displayed in telop display based on all the updated content information of one site, it is determined NO in S84. In this case, the CPU 14 adds 1 to the counter i (S86), and executes the processes of S78 to S94 for the next site (for example, the first site). As a result, the content title character string 178 is displayed in telop on the basis of the updated content information of the next site.

  In the case of NO in S102 of FIG. 9, the CPU 14 determines whether or not a list display request event has occurred (S106). In a state where the content title character string 178 is displayed as a telop as shown in the upper diagram of FIG. 12, the user can touch the content title character string 178. When the user touches, the CPU 14 determines YES in S106. If YES in S106, the CPU 14 executes a list display process (S108). The contents of the list display process will be described in detail later.

  If NO in S106, the CPU 14 determines whether a function execution operation has occurred (S110). The user can operate any button 170 shown in the upper diagram of FIG. In this case, the CPU 14 determines YES in S110. The CPU 104 executes processing corresponding to the operated button 170 (for example, FAX transmission processing, scan processing, copy processing, etc.). In this case, the multi-function device 10 shifts to the function execution state, and information regarding the function being executed is displayed on the display panel 50. CPU14 returns to S70 of FIG. 8, and waits until it transfers to a standby state. On the other hand, if NO in S110, the CPU 14 executes processing corresponding to the event, returns to S100, and waits until the next event occurs.

(List display process)
Next, the list display process executed in S108 of FIG. 9 will be described. FIG. 10 shows a flowchart of the list display process. The CPU 14 acquires all the updated content information 132 of the i-th site (the site where the content title character string 178 is displayed) from the display information storage area 36 of the RAM 30 (S120). For example, in the case of the zeroth site, there are m pieces of update content information 132 in the example of FIG. In this case, m pieces of updated content information 132 are acquired in S120. Next, the CPU 14 creates list data including the site title character string 122 acquired in S78, each content title character string 140 acquired in S120, and each content update date / time information 142 acquired in S120 ( S122). The CPU 14 transmits the list data created in S122 to the display panel 50 (S124). As a result, the list 180 is displayed on the display panel 50 as shown in the lower diagram of FIG. The list 180 includes content update date / time information of the content and a content title character string of the content for each of a plurality of contents (for example, m pieces of content). In the example in the lower diagram of FIG. 12, content update date / time information “14:32” and a content title character string “Sport. In this example, a site title character string 182 is also displayed. When S124 ends, the process proceeds to S126.

  In S126, the CPU 14 waits until an event occurs. If an event occurs, the process proceeds to S128. In S128, the CPU 14 determines whether or not an event related to the content selection operation has occurred. In the state where the list 180 is displayed as shown in the lower diagram of FIG. 12, the user can touch one content (content title character string). When the user touches, the CPU 14 determines YES in S128. If YES in S128, the CPU 14 executes a transmission process (S130). The contents of the transmission process will be described in detail later.

  In the case of NO in S128 of FIG. 10, the CPU 14 determines whether or not an instruction to end the list display has been input (S132). In the state where the list 180 is displayed as shown in the lower diagram of FIG. 12, the user can touch the button 184. In this case, the CPU 14 determines YES in S132. If YES in S132, the CPU 14 ends the list display process and returns to S84 in FIG. On the other hand, if NO in S132, the CPU 14 executes processing corresponding to the event, returns to S126, and waits until the next event occurs.

(Transmission process)
Subsequently, the transmission process executed in S130 of FIG. 10 will be described. FIG. 11 shows a flowchart of the transmission process. The CPU 14 determines whether or not the enclosing information 148 is included in the updated content information 132 (hereinafter referred to as the selected updated content information 132) including the title selected by the user in S128 of FIG. 10 (S140). This process is executed by determining whether or not the enclose tag 158 (see FIG. 6) is included in the selected update content information 132. In the case of NO here, the CPU 14 determines whether or not the link information 146 is included in the selected update content information 132 (S142). This process is executed by determining whether or not the link tag 156 (see FIG. 6) is included in the selected update content information 132. In the case of YES here, the CPU 14 specifies the link URL 157 (see FIG. 6) from the selected update content information 132. This process is executed by specifying the character string 157 specified by the link tag 156. The CPU 14 transmits the link URL 157 specified here with the IP address (in this embodiment, the IP address of the PC 70) stored in the default PC information storage area 46 as the transmission destination (S144). On the other hand, in the case of NO in S142, the CPU 14 skips S144 and ends the transmission process.

  On the other hand, in the case of YES in S140, the CPU 14 specifies the type 161 (see FIG. 6) from the enclosure information 148 included in the selected update content information 132. This process is executed by specifying the character string 161 described after the character string “type” from the character strings 159 to 161 specified by the enclosure tag 158 (see FIG. 6). The CPU 14 determines whether or not the character string “audio” is included in the type 161 specified here (S148). In the case of YES here, the CPU 14 specifies the content title character string 140 and the content summary character string 144 from the selected update content information 132. This process is specified by the character string 140 specified by the title tag 150 (see FIG. 6), the character string 144a specified by the description tag 154a, the character string 144b specified by the subtitle tag 154b, and the summary tag 154c. The character string 144c to be executed is specified from the selected update content information 132. The CPU 14 converts the specified content title character string 140 and content summary character string 144 into HTML format data (S150).

  Next, the CPU 14 determines whether or not the link information 146 is included in the selected update content information 132 (S152). In the case of YES here, the CPU 14 specifies the link URL 157 (see FIG. 6) specified by the link tag 156 from the selected update content information 132. The CPU 14 inserts the link URL 157 specified here as a hyperlink into the HTML data created in S150 (S154). Next, the CPU 14 identifies an enclosing URL 159 (see FIG. 6) from the enclosing information 148 included in the selected update content information 132. This process is executed by specifying the character string 159 described after the character string “url” from the character strings 159 to 161 specified by the enclosure tag 158 (see FIG. 6). The CPU 14 transmits the enclose URL 159 specified here, the type 161 specified in S146, and the HTML data created in S150 to the PC 70 (S156).

  On the other hand, if NO in S148, the CPU 14 determines whether or not the link information 146 is included in the selected update content information 132 (S158). In the case of YES here, the CPU 14 specifies the link URL 157 (see FIG. 6) from the selected update content information 132. Further, the CPU 14 specifies the enclose URL 159 (see FIG. 6) from the selected update content information 132. The CPU 14 transmits the enclose URL 159 specified here, the type 161 specified in S146, and the link URL 157 specified here to the PC 70 (S160).

  Note that, in the case of NO in S158, the CPU 14 specifies the enclose URL 159 (see FIG. 6) from the selected update content information 132. The CPU 14 transmits the enclose URL 159 specified here and the type 161 specified in S146 to the PC 70 (S162). Hereinafter, the information transmitted from the multi-function device 10 in S144, S156, S160, or S162 is referred to as “URL notification”.

(Processing executed by PC)
Subsequently, processing executed by the PC 70 will be described. The PC 71 performs the same process. When the PC 70 is activated (power is turned on), the OS is activated, and then the resident software 78 (see FIG. 1) is automatically activated by the OS. The CPU 72 of the PC 70 executes processing according to the resident software 78. FIG. 13 shows a flowchart of processing executed by the CPU 72 of the PC 70.

  The CPU 72 monitors the reception of the URL notification (S170). When the URL notification transmitted from the multi-function device 10 in S144, S156, S160, or S162 in FIG. 11 is received, the CPU 72 determines YES in S170. If YES in S170, the CPU 72 determines whether or not only the linkURL 157 is included in the URL notification (S172). The URL notification transmitted from the multi-function device 10 in S144 of FIG. 11 includes only the link URL 157 (not including the enclose URL 159, type 161, HTML data, etc.). In this case, YES is determined in S172. If YES in S172, the CPU 72 activates a default browser program and accesses the received linkURL 157 (S174). Thereby, the content corresponding to linkURL157 is downloaded and displayed on the display part 82 (refer FIG. 1). The user can see the content.

  When the URL notification transmitted from the multi-function device 10 in S156, S160, or S162 in FIG. 11 is received in S170, the CPU 72 determines NO in S172. In this case, the URL notification includes at least an enclosing URL 159 and a type 161 (see FIG. 6). The CPU 72 specifies the enclose URL 159 and the type 161 from the URL notification. The CPU 72 selects one application from the application software group 80 based on the type 161 specified here. For example, when the character string “audio” is included in the type 161, an application for reproducing audio is selected. For example, when the character string “video” is included in the type 161, an application for playing back video (video) is selected. For example, when the character string “image” is included in the type 161, an application for displaying an image is selected. The CPU 72 activates the selected application and accesses the enclose URL 159 specified from the URL notification (S176). As a result, the content corresponding to the encapsulation URL 159 is downloaded and output (reproduced or displayed). Content can be provided to the user.

  Next, the CPU 72 determines whether or not HTML data is included in the URL notification (S178). When the URL notification transmitted from the multi-function device 10 in S156 of FIG. 11 is received in S170, the CPU 72 determines YES in S178. In this case, the CPU 72 activates a default browser program and displays the received HTML data (S180). The user can view information about the content (description, subtitle, summary). The user can listen to the audio reproduced in S176 while viewing the information related to the content.

  As shown in S154 of FIG. 11, the HTML data may include a hyperlink of linkURL157. The user can click on the linkURL 157 by operating the operation unit 84 (see FIG. 1). In this case, the CPU 72 determines YES in S182, and accesses the linkURL 157 in accordance with the browser program activated to display the HTML data (S184). The content corresponding to the link URL 157 is downloaded and displayed on the display unit 82 (see FIG. 1). The user can see the content.

  When the URL notification transmitted from the multi-function device 10 in S160 or S162 of FIG. 11 is received in S170, the CPU 72 determines NO in S178. In this case, the CPU 72 determines whether or not the link URL 157 is included in the URL notification (S186). When the URL notification transmitted from the multi-function device 10 in S160 of FIG. 11 is received in S170, the CPU 72 determines YES in S186. In this case, the CPU 72 activates a default browser program and accesses the linkURL 157 included in the URL notification (S188). Thereby, the content corresponding to linkURL157 is downloaded and displayed on the display part 82 (refer FIG. 1). The user can see the content. On the other hand, when the URL notification transmitted from the multi-function device 10 in S162 in FIG. 11 is received in S170, the CPU 72 determines NO in S186. In this case, S188 is skipped.

  The multi-function device system 2 of the present embodiment has been described in detail. The multi-function device 10 does not have a program for reproducing audio, a program for reproducing video, and a program for displaying an image. The multi-function device 10 can transmit, for example, the enclose URL 159 and the type 161 of the content (title) selected by the user to the PC 70. The PC 70 can select an application for outputting content corresponding to the encloseure URL 159 according to the type 161. The PC 70 can access the enclose URL 159 and output the content. In this embodiment, a program for outputting audio, video, and image content is not installed in the multi-function device 10, but the content can be output by the PC 70. It is possible to increase the possibility that the content selected by the user can be output.

  In this embodiment, the link URL 157 of the content (title) selected by the user is also transmitted from the multi-function device 10 to the PC 70. The content corresponding to the link URL 157 can be displayed on the PC 70. The content corresponding to the link URL 157 is data including many character strings. Since the display panel 50 of the multi-function device 10 is small, it is difficult to display the entire content corresponding to the linkURL 157. In the present embodiment, the content corresponding to the link URL 157 can be displayed on the large display unit 82 of the PC 70. In addition, since the content can be displayed on the PC 70, it is not necessary to display the content on the multi-function device 10. For this reason, it is not necessary to install a browser program in the multi-function device 10.

  In the present embodiment, when the type 161 of the content (title) selected by the user is audio, the content title character string 140 and the content summary character string 144 are transmitted from the multi-function device 10 to the PC 70 as HTML data. The The PC 70 can display HTML data. The user can know the details of the content in detail by looking at the HTML data. In this embodiment, HTML data that can be displayed by a browser program is adopted. Many PCs have a browser program. It is not necessary to install a special application for displaying the content title character string 140 and the content summary character string 144 on the PC 70. Further, since the hyperlink of linkURL157 is inserted into the HTML data, the user can view the content corresponding to linkURL157 by performing a simple operation of clicking linkURL157.

  On the other hand, when the type 161 of the content (title) selected by the user is not audio, the content title character string 140 and the content summary character string 144 are not transmitted from the multi-function device 10 to the PC 70. In the case of video and image content, it is considered that the user can know the content content without the content title character string 140 and the content summary character string 144. That is, in the case of video and image content, the content title character string 140 and the content summary character string 144 are considered not to be very useful information for the user. In view of such knowledge, in the case of video or image content, the multi-function device 10 does not execute processing for creating and transmitting HTML data. For this reason, the processing load of the multi-function device 10 can be reduced.

  In the multi-function device 10, a content title character string 178 and icons 174 and 176 indicating the corresponding content types are displayed. The user can easily know the type of content by looking at the icons 174 and 176.

(Modification of the first embodiment)
(1) The multi-function device 10 may transmit the content title character string 140 and / or the content summary character string 144 to the PC 70 even when the type 161 of the content (title) selected by the user is other than audio. In this case, HTML data may be used.
(2) The multi-function device 10 may transmit the content title character string 140 and / or the content summary character string 144 to the PC 70 even when the enclosing information 148 is not included in the content (title) selected by the user. Good.
(3) The multi-function device 10 may transmit the link URL 159 separately from the HTML data without inserting the link URL 159 into the HTML data in S154. When the PC 70 receives the link URL 159, the PC 70 may download and display the content corresponding to the link URL 159.

(Second embodiment)
Subsequently, a second embodiment will be described. First, the contents stored in the application information storage area 48 of the multi-function device 10 will be described. FIG. 14 shows an example of the contents stored in the application information storage area 48. The application information storage area 48 can store a plurality of combination data 250-256. Each combination data 250 to 256 is obtained by associating a character string 260 of type with an application address 262. An application address 262 indicates an address of the application software group 80 of the PC 70. How information is stored in the application information storage area 48 will be described in detail later.

(Processes executed by multi-function devices)
Next, processing executed by the multi-function device 10 of this embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, the content of the transmission process (the flowchart in FIG. 11) executed in S130 of FIG. 10 is different from that of the first embodiment. FIG. 15 shows a flowchart of the transmission process of the present embodiment. The processes of S140 to S146 in FIG. 11 are executed in the same manner. The CPU 14 searches the application information storage area 48 to determine whether or not the application address 262 associated with the type 161 specified in S146 exists (S190). In the case of YES here, the CPU 14 executes processing similar to S148 to S162 in FIG. However, in this embodiment, the type 161 is not transmitted in S156, S160, or S162, and instead, the application address 262 stored in the application information storage area 48 in association with the type 161 is transmitted.

  In the case of NO in S190, the CPU 14 transmits the type 161 specified in S146 to the PC 70 (S192). As will be described in detail later, when receiving the type 161, the PC 70 transmits a response including the application address. When this response is received, the CPU 14 determines YES in S194. In this case, the CPU 14 displays the application address included in the response on the display panel 50 (see FIG. 2) (S196). Note that the response may include a plurality of application addresses. In this case, the CPU 14 displays all application addresses included in the response on the display panel 50. The user can select one application address from the application address (group) displayed on the display panel 50 by operating the keypad 52 (see FIG. 2). In this case, the CPU 14 determines YES in S198, and stores the combination data in which the type 161 specified in S146 and the application address selected by the user are associated with each other in the application information storage area 48 (S200).

(Processing executed by PC)
Next, processing executed by the PC 70 of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 16 shows a flowchart of processing executed by the PC 70 of this embodiment. As described above, type 161 may be transmitted from the multi-function device 10 to the PC 70 in S192 of FIG. The CPU 72 monitors that type 161 is received (S210). If YES here, the CPU 72 searches the hard disk 74 to identify the address of the application (group) that can output the content corresponding to the received type 161 (S212). Next, the CPU 72 transmits a response including the address of the application (group) specified in S212 to the multi-function device 10 (S214). Thereby, the response is received by the multi-function device 10 in S194 of FIG.

  Other processes executed by the PC 70 are the same as S170 to S188 in FIG. However, in S176 of the present embodiment, the application is started based on the application address transmitted from the multi-function device 10.

  According to the present embodiment, the PC 70 can determine an application for outputting content according to the application address transmitted from the multi-function device 10. In the present embodiment, since the application address to be stored in the application information storage area 48 is transmitted from the PC 70 to the multi-function device 10, the user does not need to input an application address to the multi-function device 10. .

(Modification of the second embodiment)
(1) The user may input the type 161 and the application address into the multi-function device 10 by operating the keypad 52. The application information storage area 48 may store combination data in which a type 161 input by a user is associated with an application address.
(2) The application information storage area 48 may store the type character string 260 and the application name in association with each other.

  Specific examples of the present invention have been described in detail above, but these are merely examples and do not limit the scope of the claims. The technology described in the claims includes various modifications and changes of the specific examples illustrated above. The modifications of the above embodiment are listed below.

(1) In the above embodiment, each content providing server 90, 91 stores both content and feed information. However, a server for storing content and a server for storing feed information may be configured separately.

(2) The multi-function device 10 does not have a browser program. However, the multi-function device 10 may have a browser program. The multi-function device 10 may download the content and display it on the display panel 50.

(3) The multi-function device 10 may create data in another format instead of HTML data in S150 of FIG. For example, the multi-function device 10 may create data in a format such as XHTML or XML.

  The technical elements described in this specification or the drawings exhibit technical usefulness alone or in various combinations, and are not limited to the combinations described in the claims at the time of filing. In addition, the technology illustrated in the present specification or the drawings achieves a plurality of objects at the same time, and has technical utility by achieving one of the objects.
