  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a server client system including a client device 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  The server client system includes a server device (Web server) 1 and a client device 2 connected via a communication network N such as a WAN (Wide Area Network) or a LAN (Local Area Network).

  The client device 2 is a terminal device such as a PC or a mobile terminal, and has a web browser function (browser program) 23a that accesses the server device 1 according to a user operation and displays a web page provided by the server device 1. doing. Further, the client device 2 has a bookmark function, and has a bookmark information storage area 24a for storing information for fetching and displaying the Web page in response to a user operation in an arbitrary Web page display state. .

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the electronic circuit of the client device 2.

  The client apparatus 2 includes a CPU 21 as a computer, and a ROM 23, a RAM 24, and a frame buffer RAM 25 are connected to the CPU 21 via a bus 22. The drawing data written in the frame buffer RAM 25 is displayed as display screen data G of the display device 26.

  Further, an input device 27 such as a keyboard, a mouse, and a microphone, an external storage device 28 a, an auxiliary storage device 28 b, and a communication I / F (interface) 29 with the server device 10 are connected to the CPU 21 via the bus 22. .

  The CPU 21 controls the operation of each part of the circuit using the RAM 24 as a working memory in accordance with a system program stored in advance in the ROM 23. The CPU 21 receives a key input signal from the input device 27, a mouse operation signal, and the communication I / F 29. The system program is activated and executed in response to a received signal from the server device 10 to be executed.

  As the system program (client control program) stored in advance in the ROM 23, the above-described Web browser program 23a for accessing the server device 1 according to a user operation and displaying the Web page provided by the server device 1 is also used. included.

  Further, the RAM 24 functioning as the working memory is provided with the above-described bookmark information storage area 24a for storing information for fetching and displaying the Web page in response to a user operation in an arbitrary Web page display state. The

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the entire data of the Web page P fetched according to the Web browser program 23a of the client device 2 and a display example thereof.

  FIG. 3A shows the entire data of the Web page P. The Web page P has a “sample” character T at its head, a “hide” button Bk under the “sample” character T, Under the “hide” button Bk, a message area E that is hidden according to the button operation, a text box Bo that is a part of the input form, and a “send” button Bs are located in front of the end of the page P under the message area E. It has been described.

  FIG. 3B shows an initial display screen G1 in which the Web page P is taken in and displayed on the display device 26 from the top. Since the window size by the browser is smaller than the overall size of the page P, the end of the page is displayed. Is not displayed.

  FIG. 3C shows a display screen G2 at the time of bookmarking after displaying / manipulating the Web page P. By scrolling the display position of the page P slightly downward, the “sample” at the top of the page is displayed. The letter T is half off the screen. Further, by operating the “hide” button Bk, the message area E is not displayed, and the text “text” is entered in the text box Bo which is the input form part below.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an HTML (Hypertext markup language) source code and a DOM (Document Object Model) tree structure constituting the Web page P in FIG.

  In general, in a Web browser, parts in the Web page P are handled according to DOM rules. That is, the HTML tag described in the HTML source code shown in FIG. 4A is arranged as a DOM tree having a parent-child relationship as shown in FIG. The HTML part in the Web page P can be uniquely specified with the tag.

  In the client device 2 of the first embodiment, the bookmark page is displayed in a state where the user-desired Web page P and the user-desired page area are displayed and a desired page operation is performed in the desired page area. When registration is instructed, browser setting / display position information including the window size, font size, zoom rate, and display position at that time is acquired. Further, the information of the DOM element changed up to the bookmark registration instruction is generated as a state change script code as compared with each element of the DOM tree in the initial state of the Web page P. Then, together with the URL of the Web page P, the browser setting / display position information and the state change script code of the DOM element are stored in the bookmark information storage area 24a in the RAM 24.

  As a result, when the Web page P is specified and opened from the bookmark stored in the bookmark information storage area 24a, the Web page P that is exactly the same as the point in time when the bookmark registration was instructed and the user-desired page area is initially displayed. And a state after a desired page operation is performed in the desired page area.

  Next, the browsing function of the Web page P by the client device 2 of the first embodiment having the above-described configuration will be described.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing page display / bookmark processing of the first embodiment by the client device 2.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the DOM element control script generation process associated with the page display / bookmark process of the first embodiment of the client device 2.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing bookmark information (24a) including URL / browser setting information / display position information / state change script information acquired and stored in accordance with the page display / bookmark process of the first embodiment of the client device 2. FIG. is there.

  When the user performs an operation to open a desired web page, the web server 1 on the communication network N corresponding to the specified URL is accessed according to the web browser program 23a. For example, the desired web page as shown in FIG. P is received and displayed on the display device 26 from the top of the Web page P as shown in FIG. 3B (step S1).

  Note that the user can open a desired Web page by clicking a link from another Web page to the desired Web page, opening from an existing bookmark, or directly inputting a URL in the address bar.

  When the user-desired Web page P is displayed on the display device 26, the browser stores the DOM tree data in the initial state of the Web page P in the RAM 24 (step S2).

  For the Web page P displayed on the display device 26, scroll display, character input display for the input form, button operation display, and the like are executed by user's arbitrary operation, for example, as shown in FIG. When the web page is opened with a bookmark, a desired state is displayed.

  Here, when a bookmark registration operation is performed (step S3 (yes)), the browser first acquires the setting value and display position information of the current display state of the Web page P, and stores the bookmark information storage area in the RAM 24. 24a is stored (step S4).

  Note that the setting value of the browser display state includes a browser window size, a default font size, a page display zoom rate, and the like. The display position is a value indicating where the page is displayed. For example, where the origin at the upper left of the screen currently displayed on the display device 26 corresponds to the entire Web page P. Coordinate values are used. As the display position information, in addition to this, the display position of the current screen, such as storing the identifier of the element in the DOM tree displayed at a specific position (upper left, center, etc.) in the screen of the display device 26 is stored. Anything can be used as a key to reproduce.

  Next, the browser executes a DOM element control script generation process in FIG. 6 (step SA).

  This DOM element control script generation processing is performed, for example, when the state of each element of the DOM tree corresponding to the currently displayed Web page P is opened as shown in FIG. Compared with the state of each element of the DOM tree in the initial display state as shown in 3 (B), it is processing for generating a script that changes the state of the DOM element from the initial display state to the current display state.

  That is, first, count data n for counting the number of DOM elements in the DOM tree is set to “1” (step A1), and the DOM tree data corresponding to the currently displayed Web page P (see FIG. 3C). First, the first DOM element is taken out and compared with the content of the DOM element in the initial display state (see FIG. 3B) in which the Web page P stored in the RAM 24 in step S2 is opened. (Step A2).

  The items of the DOM element to be compared specifically are the display style (display / non-display state, font size / color, background color, display position coordinates in the page), form input value (text box character string, check box) / Radio button check status, select box selection items). When there is a change in the state of the items of these DOM elements (step S3 (yes)), a state change script code for overwriting the state attribute value of the changed DOM element with the value of the initial DOM element is provided. Generate (step A4).

  Thereafter, the count data n is incremented (step A5), and it is determined whether or not the total number of DOM elements to be compared has been exceeded (step A6). A6 (no)), the comparison process between the current display state and the initial display state is sequentially repeated for each item of the next DOM element (step A2).

  Then, for all DOM elements in the DOM tree data corresponding to the currently displayed Web page P, a comparison process with the DOM element in the page initial display state and a script generation process when there is a state change are performed. If it is determined that the count data n exceeds the total number of the DOM elements (step A6 (yes)), the DOM element control script process in FIG. 6 is terminated.

  Finally, the browser is generated with the URL of the currently displayed Web page P, the display state setting value acquired at step S4, the display position, and the step SA (DOM element control script generation process). As shown in FIG. 7, the state change script code is stored in the bookmark information storage area 24a secured in the RAM 24 (step S5), and the series of page display / bookmark processing ends.

  Note that the bookmark information (24a) in FIG. 7 is the bookmark information of the Web page P in a state where the initial display state shown in FIG. 3 (B) is changed to the display state shown in FIG. 3 (C). Show.

  As described above, when the user-desired Web page P is displayed and bookmark registration is instructed in a state after a desired operation is performed on the page P, the URL corresponding to the display state of the page P at that time / Bookmark information (24a) consisting of display state setting values (window size, font size, zoom rate) / display position / state change script code is generated and saved.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing bookmark page display processing by the client device 2.

  When a user-desired page is designated from bookmarks registered in accordance with the page display / bookmark processing, bookmark information (see FIG. 7) corresponding to the designated page is stored in the bookmark information storage area 24a in the RAM 24. (Step B1), and the Web page P of the URL described in the bookmark information is displayed on the display device 26 as shown in FIG. 3B, for example (step B2).

  Then, the browser displays the Web page P displayed on the display device 26 according to the display state setting values (window size, font size, zoom rate) described in the acquired bookmark information (24a) and the display position. The state is set as shown in FIG. 3C and the display position coordinates are displayed together (step B3).

  Finally, in accordance with the DOM element state change script code described in the acquired bookmark information (24a), a process of changing the content of the Web page P to the state when bookmarked is executed, The bookmark page display process is terminated (step B4).

  As a result, a state after the user-desired page area is displayed from the beginning on the same Web page P as when the bookmark registration is instructed, and a desired page operation is performed in the desired page area. Is displayed.

  Note that the state change script code for changing the web page P from its initial state to the bookmarked state is not limited to the above-mentioned Java (registered trademark) script code, and anything that can change the state of the page P. Good.

  Therefore, according to the client device 2 of the first embodiment configured as described above, the Web browser 23a displays the user-desired Web page P on the display device 26, and a desired display such as a page scroll operation and a character input operation for the input form. When a bookmark registration is instructed after the change operation, URL / display state setting value (window size, font size, zoom rate) / display position / DOM element corresponding to the display state of page P at that time Bookmark information (24a) consisting of a state change script code is generated and stored. When the display of the desired page P is instructed from the registered bookmark, the display state of the Web page P at the time of the bookmark is reproduced according to the bookmark information (24a). For this reason, it is possible to always display the most desired part of the Web page P first, thereby eliminating the need for scroll operations. In addition, since the input contents of the input form are also reproduced, it is possible to omit an input operation for inputting a predetermined content each time, such as a slip name and a department entry.

  Since any number of bookmarks can be registered for the same page with different names, a plurality of bookmarks with different status patterns can be registered and used on the same page. For example, it is possible to open the same page at a different display position, or prepare different versions of input content in the same input form on the same page in advance.

  FIG. 9 shows a comparison between a conventional page display operation procedure using bookmarks and a page display operation procedure using bookmarks according to an embodiment of the present invention when an input operation is performed by displaying a bookmarked PC web page on a mobile terminal. FIG.

  When page display is performed by the conventional bookmark function, the page display magnification is often not easy to see on the portable terminal as shown in the initial display screen G1 of FIG. 9 (A2), the zoom operation is performed on the page to adjust the zoom display screen G2 to a size that is easy to see.

  In the small screen display of the portable terminal, the display range is narrow and the part that the user wants to use is often outside the screen. Therefore, the user scrolls to the desired part and moves, for example, FIG. 9 (A3) As shown in FIG. 4, a screen G3 corresponding to the input form area is displayed.

  At this time, in particular, in the input form for business-related Web pages such as slip input, as shown on the screen G4 in FIG. 9 (A4), the user is determined to have basic basic information such as name, employee number, and department name. Must be entered each time.

  Thereafter, as shown in a screen G5 in FIG. 9A5, the user inputs the information that was the first input purpose (in the case of a slip system, information on the product ordered this time).

  As described above, a lot of time and effort is required to input information using a conventional bookmark function of a portable terminal, particularly on a Web page for PC.

  On the other hand, when the page display is performed by the bookmark function of the embodiment of the present invention, the zoom ratio / display position / form input value of the page at the time of bookmarking the Web page is stored and reproduced. 9 (A1)-(A5) As shown in (A1) to (A5), if you complete zooming, scrolling, and inputting basic basic information, and bookmarking the screen with the display on the target input form G5, When a web page is opened from the bookmark, as shown in FIGS. 9 (A) → (B), the screen G5 of the target input form in which the zoom, scroll, and basic basic information have been input is displayed. Displayed immediately. Therefore, the user can immediately perform an input operation that is the main purpose of the current Web page.

  In the first embodiment, the page part is compared with the initial display state based on the DOM element of the Web page during the bookmark registration operation, and if there is a state change, the state change script code of the DOM element is changed. Was generated and saved as bookmark information (24a). On the other hand, as will be described in the client device 2 of the second embodiment, DOM such as Script and form input executed between the initial display of the Web page and the bookmark registration in response to a user operation. An element change event script may be recorded and saved. The change of the display state of the page parts in the Web page is mainly due to execution of script or form input. Therefore, if the recorded DOM element change event is reproduced when opening a bookmark, the page display state at the time of bookmark registration is reproduced. Can be reproduced.

(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing page display / bookmark processing of the second embodiment by the client device 2.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing bookmark information (24a) including URL / browser setting information / display position information / execution / change script information acquired and stored in accordance with the page display / bookmark processing of the second embodiment of the client device 2. It is.

  When the user performs an operation to open a desired web page, the web server 1 on the communication network N corresponding to the specified URL is accessed according to the web browser program 23a. For example, the desired web page as shown in FIG. P is received and displayed on the display device 26 from the top of the Web page P as shown in FIG. 3B (step C1).

  Thereafter, until the user performs a bookmark registration operation, scroll display, character input display on the input form, button operation display, etc. are executed by the user's arbitrary operation on the Web page P being displayed on the display device 26. The execution of the script and the change of the form are monitored (steps C2 to C6 (no) → C2).

  When some script is executed (step C2 (yes)), the code of the executed script is stored in the temporary storage area in the RAM 24 (step C3).

  When the user makes any change to the page component such as an input form (step C4 (yes)), a FORM change script code for reproducing the change is generated and additionally stored in the temporary storage area. (Step C5).

  Thereafter, when the user performs a bookmark registration operation (step C6 (yes)), the display state setting value of the browser and the display position of the web page are acquired as in step S4 of the first embodiment (step C7). The URL of the Web page and all the Script codes temporarily stored and accumulated in the RAM 24 in Steps C2 to C5 are stored in the bookmark information storage area 24a secured in the RAM 24 as shown in FIG. 11 (Step C8). ).

  Note that the bookmark information (24a) in FIG. 11 also corresponds to the bookmark corresponding to the Web page P in the state of transition from the initial display state shown in FIG. 3 (B) to the display state shown in FIG. 3 (C). Information is shown. Since the Script code in the bookmark information (24a) of the second embodiment is executed for every event (click, timer, etc.), the Script code is stored separately for each event. That is, the Script code [1] in FIG. 11 is a function definition portion that is simultaneously executed when the corresponding Web page P is displayed, and the Script code [2] is the initial display screen G1 shown in FIG. This is a function execution part activated in accordance with the click operation of the “hide” button Bk. The Script code [3] is a code generated at the time of the input event to the text box Bo on the display screen G2 at the time of bookmark shown in FIG. 3 (C), and reproduces the input contents to the text box Bo. Is.

  In this way, when a user's desired Web page P is displayed and a bookmark operation is instructed after a desired operation is performed on the page P, the Script code executed from the initial display time of the page P to the bookmark registration time is displayed. Script code of DOM element change event such as FORM and form input is recorded, and bookmarks are displayed along with URL / display state setting value (window size, font size, zoom rate) / display position corresponding to page display state at the time of bookmark registration It is stored as information (24a).

  The flowchart for explaining the bookmark page display processing by the client device 2 of the second embodiment is the same as the bookmark page display processing of the first embodiment shown and described in FIG.

  That is, when a user-desired page is designated from bookmarks registered in accordance with the page display / bookmark process of the second embodiment in FIG. 10, bookmark information corresponding to the designated page (see FIG. 11). ) Is acquired from the bookmark information storage area 24a in the RAM 24 (step B1), and the Web page P of the URL described in the bookmark information is displayed on the display device 26 as shown in FIG. 3B, for example. (Step B2).

  Then, the browser displays the Web page P displayed on the display device 26 according to the display state setting values (window size, font size, zoom rate) described in the acquired bookmark information (24a) and the display position. The state is set as shown in FIG. 3C and the display position coordinates are displayed together (step B3).

  Finally, in accordance with the individual execution Script code and FORM change Script code described in the acquired bookmark information (24a), the process of sequentially changing the contents of the Web page P to the state up to the time of the bookmark is performed. The series of bookmark page display processing is terminated (step B4).

  As a result, as in the first embodiment, the Web page P that is exactly the same as when bookmark registration is instructed and the user-desired page area is displayed from the beginning, and the desired page is displayed within the desired page area. It is displayed as the state after the operation is performed.

  Therefore, according to the client device 2 of the second embodiment having the above-described configuration, the user-desired Web page P is displayed on the display device 26 by the Web browser 23a, and a desired display such as a page scroll operation or a character input operation on the input form is performed. When the bookmark registration is instructed after the change operation, the script code executed from the initial display time of the page P to the bookmark registration time and the script code of the change event such as the form input are recorded. Along with the URL corresponding to the page display state / display state setting value (window size, font size, zoom rate) / display position, the information is stored as bookmark information (24a). When the display of the desired page P is instructed from the registered bookmark, the display state of the Web page P from the initial page display time to the bookmark time is reproduced according to the bookmark information (24a). For this reason, as in the first embodiment, the most desired part of the web page P can always be displayed immediately, eliminating the need for scroll operations. In addition, since the input contents of the input form are also reproduced, it is possible to omit an input operation for inputting a predetermined content each time, such as a slip name and a department entry. In addition, as unique to the second embodiment, script execution while the user is operating can be reproduced, so that the value of variables in the script (status flag, etc.) can be reproduced faithfully. For this reason, when the user opens a desired Web page from the bookmark and continues to operate it, it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience that the user interface does not work well because the value of the status flag in the Script is not reproduced.

  Further, unlike the first embodiment, the page display / bookmark processing in the second embodiment does not require special processing such as scanning all DOM elements and comparing their states at the time of bookmark registration. There is also an advantage that the load is lighter and faster.

  In the second embodiment, regarding the script to be monitored for the state change from the initial display state of the web page P to the bookmark registration time, in addition to the Java (registered trademark) script described above, the Action Script in the Flash content is used. The state at the time of bookmark registration may be reproduced at a higher level by using a plurality of monitoring means such as monitoring and recording the execution of input and changes of input parts.

  In the second embodiment, in order to reproduce the state of the page P at the bookmark registration time of the desired Web page P, the execution script and the FORM change script from the initial display state of the page P to the bookmark registration time are used. The script code is recorded. On the other hand, as described in the client device 2 of the third embodiment, an input event by a user input device (key, mouse, pen, etc.) from the initial display state of a desired Web page P to the bookmark registration time The log may be recorded, and this log may be reproduced when the page P is opened from the bookmark. Here, the function of monitoring an input event and recording the log or reproducing the log when opening a bookmark may depend on an external program instead of the browser.

(Third embodiment)
FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing page display / bookmark processing of the third embodiment by the client device 2.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing bookmark information (24a) including URL / browser setting information / event log information acquired and stored in accordance with the page display / bookmark process of the third embodiment of the client device 2.

  When the user performs an operation to open a desired web page, the web server 1 on the communication network N corresponding to the specified URL is accessed according to the web browser program 23a. For example, the desired web page as shown in FIG. P is received and displayed on the display device 26 from the top of the Web page P as shown in FIG. 3B (step D1).

  Here, browser setting information such as a window size, a default font size, and a display zoom ratio in the initial display state of the Web page P is acquired (step D2). For example, when the client device 2 is not a mobile terminal but a PC and the Web page P is displayed in a partial area in the display screen, the position of the mouse cursor, the window position in the display screen, etc. Also get.

  Thereafter, the browser monitors all inputs by the user operation until an instruction for registering the bookmark by the user operation is determined, and when an input event is generated by a key, a mouse or the like, the event log is stored in the RAM 24. Store in the temporary storage area (steps D3 to D5 (no) → D3).

  When a bookmark registration instruction by a user operation is determined (step D5 (yes)), the browser displays the URL of the Web page P being displayed, the window size, the default font size, the display zoom factor, and the like. Along with the setting information, as shown in FIG. 13, the event log stored and accumulated in the RAM 24 is stored in the bookmark information storage area 24a (step D6).

  The bookmark information (24a) in FIG. 13 is also registered in the Web page P in a state where the initial display state shown in FIG. 3B is changed to the display state shown in FIG. 3C. The bookmark information generated and saved in accordance with the instruction is shown.

  That is, in the bookmark information (24a) in FIG. 13, the browser setting information including the URL, the window size, the font size, and the zoom rate is the URL / address shown in FIGS. 7 and 11 in the first and second embodiments. Same as browser setting information. The event log included in the bookmark information (24a) of the third embodiment includes a mouse movement (Mouse Move event), a page click (Click event), and a key input (Key Press / A history corresponding to all input operations by the user (Key Release event) is saved.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing bookmark page display processing of the third embodiment by the client device 2.

  The basic processing flow in the bookmark page display process (FIG. 14) of the third embodiment is substantially the same as the bookmark page display process (FIG. 8) in the first and second embodiments, but in FIG. The script code execution process (step B4) is different from the event log reproduction process (step E4) in FIG. Since the display position alignment in the Web page is included in the event log reproduction process (step E4), the display position alignment required together with the browser setting alignment process in step B3 of FIG. It becomes unnecessary in step E3.

  That is, when a user-desired page is designated from bookmarks registered in accordance with the page display / bookmark process of the third embodiment in FIG. 12, bookmark information corresponding to the designated page (see FIG. 13). ) Is acquired from the bookmark information storage area 24a in the RAM 24 (step E1), and the Web page P of the URL described in the bookmark information is displayed on the display device 26 (step E2).

  Then, the browser displays the display state of the Web page P displayed on the display device 26 according to the display state setting values (window size, font size, zoom rate) described in the acquired bookmark information (24a), for example. Settings are made as shown in FIG. 3B (step E3).

  Finally, in accordance with each event log described in the acquired bookmark information (24a), when the Web page P is registered as a bookmark, all input operations performed by the user from the initial display state are supported. The event processing is executed and reproduced, and the series of bookmark page display processing ends (step E4).

  As a result, as in the first and second embodiments, the Web page P that is exactly the same as the bookmark registration instruction is displayed from the beginning, and the user-desired page area is displayed from the beginning. This is displayed as a state after a desired page operation is performed.

  Therefore, according to the client device 2 of the third embodiment having the above-described configuration, a desired web page P is displayed on the display device 26 by the web browser 23a, and a desired display such as a page scroll operation and a character input operation for an input form is performed. When the bookmark registration is instructed after the change operation, the event log of all input operation events executed from the initial display time of the page P to the bookmark registration time is recorded, and the page display state at the bookmark registration time is displayed. Along with the corresponding URL / display state setting value (window size, font size, zoom rate), it is saved as bookmark information (24a). When the display of the desired page P is instructed from the registered bookmark, the display state of the Web page P from the initial page display time to the bookmark time is reproduced according to the bookmark information (24a). For this reason, as in the first and second embodiments, the most desired part of the web page P can always be displayed immediately, eliminating the need for scrolling. In addition, since the input contents of the input form are also reproduced, it is possible to omit an input operation for inputting a predetermined content such as a slip name and a department entry. In addition, since all input events can be reproduced while the user is operating, there is an effect that even variable values (status flags, etc.) according to the page operation can be faithfully reproduced. For this reason, when the user opens a desired Web page from the bookmark and continues to operate, the inconvenience that the user interface does not move well because the value of the state flag is not reproduced can be solved.

  Further, unlike the first embodiment, the page display / bookmark processing in the third embodiment does not require special processing such as scanning all DOM elements and comparing their states at the time of bookmark registration. There is also an advantage that the load is lighter and faster.

  In the third embodiment, a case has been described in which an individual user registers a bookmark in order to reproduce a page display state of a desired Web page. However, individual bookmark information (24a) including the URL may be stored in other ways. It may be configured such that it can be transmitted / received to / from the client device 2 of the user, and may be displayed like an operation guide video of the Web page P by other users. At this time, if you add an effect function such as changing the shape or size so that the mouse cursor is conspicuous, highlighting the place where there was a key input, or slowing down the movement of the mouse cursor for easy viewing, it will be more effective Is.

  Note that each processing method performed by the client device 2 described in each of the above embodiments, that is, the page display / bookmark processing of the first embodiment shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5, and the page of the first embodiment shown in the flowchart of FIG. DOM element script generation processing accompanying display / bookmark processing, bookmark page display processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8, page display / bookmark processing of the second embodiment shown in the flowchart of FIG. 10, and third embodiment shown in the flowchart of FIG. Each of the methods such as the page display / bookmark process and the bookmark page display process accompanying the page display / bookmark process of the third embodiment shown in the flowchart of FIG. 14 is a memory card as a program that can be executed by a computer. (ROM card, RA Card), a magnetic disk (floppy disk, hard disk, etc.), optical disk (CD-ROM, DVD, etc.) can be distributed and stored in the external recording device 28a of the medium such as a semiconductor memory. The computer (CPU 21) of the client device 2 reads the program stored in the medium of the external recording device 28a into the storage device (flash ROM 23 or RAM 24), and the operation is controlled by the read program, thereby The reproduction function of the bookmark registered Web page described in each embodiment can be realized, and the same processing can be executed by the method described above.

  Further, program data for realizing each of the above methods can be transmitted on the communication network (N) in the form of a program code, and from a computer device (program server) connected to the communication network (N). The program data can be taken in and stored in a storage device (flash ROM 23 or RAM 24) to realize the above-described bookmark registered Web page reproduction function.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention at the stage of implementation. Further, each of the embodiments includes inventions at various stages, and various inventions can be extracted by appropriately combining a plurality of disclosed constituent elements. For example, even if some constituent elements are deleted from all the constituent elements shown in each embodiment or some constituent elements are combined in different forms, the problems described in the column of the problem to be solved by the invention If the effects described in the column “Effects of the Invention” can be obtained, a configuration in which these constituent requirements are deleted or combined can be extracted as an invention.
