The television receiving the data by the data transmitting/receiving unit 210 stops displaying the internet site (step 518). Further, the URL of the internet site displayed on the television at the end is transmitted to the mobile phone via the data transmission/reception unit 210 (step 519), and the television program displayed before the start of the internet display is displayed on the screen, for example. It is displayed like 403 (step 520). In step 520, the television is again in the state of operating by itself, and is in the normal mode. In addition, in step 520, the television resumes displaying the content that was being displayed before receiving the URL from the mobile phone. It should be noted that in step 520, the television may only finish displaying the internet site. It is possible for the user to reduce the trouble of the operation of ending the display on the television.

Also, the mobile phone receives the URL of the internet site displayed on the television at the end, accesses the internet site of the URL, and displays it (step 510). By this operation, the display of the Internet site is switched from the television to the mobile phone, and the mobile phone is in the display switching mode. The operation of this step is performed under the control of the control unit 301, for example. Further, the operation of this step restarts the display of the Internet site on the mobile phone.

At this time, the system control unit 301 changes the functions assigned to some keys of the input unit 102 used to operate the television from the mobile phone, and handles them as keys for operating a normal mobile phone (step 511). .. The screen display is switched from the screen display 404 to the screen display 401, for example, and the user continues to browse the Internet site displayed as the screen display 401 (step 512). In step 512, the mobile phone is returned to the state of operating by itself, so that the mobile phone is in the normal mode.

In this way, the URL of the Internet site browsed by the mobile terminal 101 is transmitted to the Internet connection terminal 100 by wireless communication, the Internet connection terminal 100 receiving the URL displays the Internet site, and the user displays the Internet site. The operation of the internet connection terminal 100 is performed using the mobile terminal 101.

The mobile terminal 101 is a display switching mode in which the user switches the display of the Internet to the Internet connection terminal 100 by only pressing the button once, and the display is switched from the normal mode in which the mobile terminal 101 operates alone to the Internet connection terminal 100. After that, the operation switching mode in which the Internet connection terminal 100 is operated by the mobile terminal 101 is successively transitioned. Also, when the Internet is displayed again on the mobile terminal 101, the button for viewing the Internet on the mobile terminal 101 is only pressed once, the operation switching mode is ended, the display switching mode is entered, and the normal mode is further entered. A series of operations of returning is performed.

As a result, the user can display the Internet site on a larger screen by a simple operation using only the mobile terminal 100 without operating the terminal that is newly displaying the Internet site, and can continue the mobile terminal 100. Then, the user can operate the terminal that newly displays the Internet site, and the user can smoothly switch the display of the Internet site between different terminals.

In the above-described embodiment, the screen display 406 displays the Internet site in full screen display on the display unit 206 of the Internet connection terminal 101, but the Internet site may be displayed on a part of the screen.

In the present embodiment, when browsing an internet site with the mobile terminal 101, the entity that performs communication via the internet network and processing of outputting the received information as a video is from the mobile terminal 101 to the internet connection device. It will be switched to 100. Therefore, for example, when the communication speed at which the Internet connection device 100 communicates via the Internet network is higher than the communication speed at which the mobile terminal 101 network network is used, the user performs an operation for browsing the Internet site. While the mobile terminal 101 can perform the above, it is possible to browse the Internet site by faster communication.

Further, in the present embodiment, it has been stated that there are a television device, a set box device, and a DLNA compatible server as examples of the Internet connection terminal. By applying the present embodiment to these devices, it is possible to solve the problems that occur in the following situations.

For example, these information processing devices such as televisions are often installed in a living room or the like and shared by a plurality of people. Therefore, it may be necessary to urgently interrupt viewing using a display such as a television. Specifically, this is a case where a plurality of people watch TV, which makes it difficult for an individual to display the Internet site.

In this case, in order for the user to continue viewing the internet site or the like on the mobile terminal 100, for example, the display screen of the television is turned off, the display screen of the internet site is turned off, the browser of the mobile phone with a communication function is activated, and the display is displayed. By inputting the displayed URL to the mobile phone, it is possible to continue viewing with the mobile phone with communication function. However, this method has a problem in that it takes a great number of steps in the operation.

On the other hand, according to the mobile terminal 101 and the internet connection device 100 of the present embodiment, for example, not only the problem as described above is solved, but also the subject of display and communication is switched from the mobile terminal 101 to the internet connection device 100. The operation of switching from the Internet connection device 100 to the mobile terminal can be conveniently performed.

In the present embodiment, the Internet site has been described as an example of content information, but the present embodiment is not limited to this, and information indicating other content such as a television program may be used. Although the URL has been described as an example of the identification information, the identification information is not limited to this. For example, the identification information may be information indicating a channel of a television program.

Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, a method for realizing the same operation as that of the first embodiment by using infrared communication for communication used for transmitting/receiving a URL and transmitting/receiving instructions of various operations in the Internet connection terminal 100 and the mobile terminal 101 of the first embodiment explain.

Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Also, in the following, parts that are equivalent to those of the previous embodiment will be assigned the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof will be omitted to avoid duplication.

In the internet connection terminal 100 of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 6, unlike the first embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the data transmission/reception unit 210 is an infrared transmission/reception unit 600, and the infrared transmission/reception unit 600 is, for example, a manufacturer or the like. Data is transmitted and received using the infrared command communication format defined by the above and the infrared communication conforming to the IrDA standard.

In the mobile terminal 101 of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 7, unlike the first embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the data transmission/reception unit 306 is an infrared transmission/reception unit 700, and the infrared transmission/reception unit 700 is an infrared ray compliant with the IrDA standard, for example. Data is transmitted and received using the signal.

The operation of this embodiment will be described below with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 6, 7 and 8. In the present embodiment, the internet connection terminal 100 displays the internet site when the URL of the internet site is transmitted by infrared communication from the mobile terminal 101 by the user's operation while receiving and reproducing the digital broadcast. Following the display, the operation of the Internet connection terminal 100 by the mobile terminal 101 is accepted by infrared communication.

FIG. 8 shows the flowchart of FIG. 5 used in the first embodiment of the present invention to which steps shown by thick frames are added. Similar to FIG. 5, FIG. 8 shows the operation of the mobile terminal 101 in a frame 500 and the operation of the Internet connection terminal 100 in a frame 513. In the following description, the operation flow in the frame 500 will be described. By simultaneously explaining the operation flow in the frame 513, the operation flow of each of the mobile terminal 101 and the Internet connection terminal 100 and the relationship in the operation flow of both terminals will be described at the same time. In the following description, a mobile phone will be used as an example of the mobile terminal 101, and a television having an internet connection function will be used as an example of the internet connection terminal 100.

First, the user sets in advance the type of television to be browsed on the Internet on a predetermined setting screen on the mobile phone by designating the manufacturer and the model number using the input unit 102 (step 501). ). In the present embodiment, the command is, for example, a general-purpose infrared command that can be received and processed by the television. The general-purpose infrared command is, for example, a command transmitted in the form of a PPM (Pulse Position Modulation) signal. The format of the general-purpose infrared command is defined for each manufacturer, for example, and is used for communication with an attached remote controller.

The user turns on the television by a predetermined operation, and the television receives and reproduces the broadcast received from the digital broadcast receiving unit 200 by the mechanism described above (step 514).

The user performs an operation to start displaying a predetermined Internet on the mobile phone. By the operation, the Internet site is displayed on the display unit 305 of the mobile phone as shown in the screen display 401, and the user can browse the Internet site (step 502).

While browsing the internet site, the user tries to browse the internet site on a television. In this case, the user performs an operation of selecting the button 402 displayed in the display unit 305 of the mobile phone (step 503).

By the above operation, the infrared transmission/reception unit 700 of the mobile phone sends an infrared command recognizable by the type of television set in step 501 to instruct the television to start IrDA communication (step 800). The television receiving the infrared command starts IrDA communication (step 801) and requests the mobile phone to establish IrDA communication connection (step 802). On the other hand, the mobile phone prepares to start the IrDA connection immediately after transmitting the infrared command in step 800, responds to the IrDA communication connection request from the TV, and transmits the IrDA connection between the TV and the mobile phone. The communication connection is established (step 803). Also, the system control unit 301 controls the display unit 305 and the like so as to terminate the display of the Internet site on the mobile terminal 101 after or while transmitting the URL.

In response to the establishment of the IrDA communication connection, the system control unit 301 of the mobile phone transmits the URL of the displayed Internet site to the television via the IrDA communication by the infrared transmission/reception unit 700 (step 504). ).

The television receives the URL from the mobile phone via the infrared transmitting/receiving unit 600 (step 515). Further, the television transmits data indicating that the URL has been successfully received to the mobile phone to the mobile phone via IrDA communication by the infrared transmission/reception unit 600 (step 804). Upon receiving the data indicating that the URL has been successfully received (step 805), the mobile phone disconnects IrDA communication by the infrared transmission/reception unit 700 (step 806). Due to the disconnection, the television also ends the IrDA communication by the infrared transmission/reception unit 600 and is in a state of receiving a normal infrared command received from a remote controller or the like not shown. Further, by connecting to the Internet site indicated by the URL by the procedure described above, the Internet site is displayed on the display unit 206 as shown on the screen display 406 (step 516).

On the other hand, in the mobile phone, after transmitting the URL, the system control unit 301 uses a part of the keys of the input unit 102 to operate the television described later, and the display unit 305 displays, for example, a screen display 404. As shown in, a display for explaining the contents of the operation that can be performed by pressing the key to the user is displayed (step 505). Here, the configuration in which the television can be operated means that by pressing some keys of the input unit 102, an infrared command for operating the television capable of discriminating the type of television set in step 501 is transmitted and received by the infrared transmitting/receiving unit. The infrared command has the same content as the infrared command transmitted by the remote controller (not shown) of the television of the type set in step 501, for example. As a result, when the user tries to move the selected item of the internnet site being displayed on the television or decide the selected item, the screen display among the keys of the input unit 102 of the mobile phone is performed. By pressing the key corresponding to the operation content indicated by 404, the operation instruction is transmitted from the mobile phone to the television (step 506).

The television receiving the operation instruction from the mobile phone reflects the content of the instruction on the screen of the screen display 406 for displaying the Internet or the operation of the internet browser 208 (step 517).

When the user as described above tries to return from browsing the Internet site on the television to browsing the Internet site on the mobile phone, the user selects the button display 405 displayed in the display unit 305 of the mobile phone. Is performed (step 507). By this operation, the mobile phone transmits an infrared command indicating the end of the display of the Internet via the infrared transmission/reception unit 700 to the television (step 508).

The television receiving the infrared command stops displaying the internet site (step 518). Further, the television starts IrDA communication and requests the mobile phone to establish IrDA communication connection (step 808). On the other hand, the mobile phone starts IrDA communication immediately after transmitting the infrared command in step 508, receives the IrDA communication connection request from the television, and the IrDA communication connection is established (step 809).

In response to the establishment of the communication connection, the television finally transmits the URL of the internet site displayed on the television to the mobile phone via the infrared transmitting/receiving unit 600 (step 519). The mobile phone receives the URL (step 509), and transmits data indicating the successful reception of the URL to the television by IrDA communication (step 810). The television receives the data (step 811), terminates IrDA communication by the infrared transmission/reception unit 600, and enters a state of accepting a normal infrared command accepted from a remote controller not shown (step 812). Further, the television displays the television program displayed before the start of the internet display, for example, on the screen display 403 (step 520).

On the other hand, the mobile phone which has received the URL of the internet site displayed on the television at the end ends the communication by IrDA (step 813), accesses the internet site of the URL and displays it (step 510). At this time, the system control unit 301 changes the function assigned to a part of the keys of the input unit 102 used for operating the television from the mobile phone, and handles it as a key for operating a normal mobile phone (step 511). ). The screen display is switched from the screen display 404 to the screen display 401, for example, and the user continues to browse the Internet site displayed as the screen display 401 (step 512).

In this way, the URL of the Internet site browsed by the mobile terminal 101 is transmitted to the Internet connection terminal 100 by infrared communication, the Internet connection terminal 100 that has received the URL displays the Internet site, and the user further displays the Internet site. The operation of the internet connection terminal 100 is performed using the mobile terminal 101. Also, when transmitting these URLs and operation instructions, the operation of the television using the mobile phone is realized by switching the communication by the infrared command received by the television from the remote controller and the communication by IrDA as described above.

As a result, the user can display the Internet site on a larger screen by a simple operation using only the mobile terminal 100 without operating the terminal that is newly displaying the Internet site, and can continue the mobile terminal 100. Then, the user can operate the terminal that newly displays the Internet site, and the user can smoothly switch the display of the Internet site between different terminals.

In the configuration of the present embodiment, IrDA communication is used when transmitting the URL, but the communication is not limited to IrDA communication, and other communication means may be used.

Further, in the present embodiment, it has been stated that there are a television device, a set box device, and a DLNA-compatible server as an example of the Internet connection terminal 100. The point can be solved.

For example, in general-purpose infrared commands used in television devices, the types of commands that can be transmitted and received are limited, or the communication speed is limited. On the other hand, the URL and the signal indicating the operation information have a larger amount of information than the signal transmitted/received for simply turning the power on/off by the remote controller. Therefore, when a general-purpose infrared command is used, there is a problem that the URL and the operation information cannot be transmitted/received between the mobile terminal and the information processing device, or even if it is possible, it takes time to transmit/receive the information.

On the other hand, when performing IrDA-compliant communication, it is necessary to establish communication between the mobile terminal 101 and the Internet connection terminal 100 in order to send and receive information. For this reason, when the communication is not switched from the general-purpose command to IrDA, the information processing apparatus must always wait for IrDA communication. If the connection is always established, the Internet connection terminal 100 cannot perform infrared communication with other devices.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the communication is switched by using the command of the general-purpose infrared command as a trigger, it is possible to solve the above-mentioned problems and improve the usability.

In the present embodiment, the IrDA communication is described as an example, but it is also possible to use, for example, Bluetooth communication, wireless communication such as wireless LAN, short-range communication such as sound wave communication. This embodiment is particularly useful when performing communication by a communication method that requires a communication link to be established for transmitting and receiving information.

In the present embodiment, the Internet site has been described as an example of content information, but the present embodiment is not limited to this, and information indicating other content such as a television program may be used. Although the URL has been described as an example of the identification information, the identification information is not limited to this. For example, the identification information may be information indicating a channel of a television program.

Next, a third embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, when the Internet connection terminal 100 and the mobile terminal 101 of the first embodiment perform transmission/reception of a URL or transmission/reception of instructions of various operations, not only the internet site indicated by the URL is displayed, but also the mobile terminal 101. A method of realizing the operation of taking over from the mobile terminal 101 to the internet connection device 100 up to the state where the internet site is being displayed will be described.

Here, the displayed state means, for example, a state in which the screen after login is displayed on the mobile terminal 101 for an Internet site that requires authentication. Further, the displayed state means, for example, a display state after the change on the Internet site where the display state of the content dynamically changes while the URL remains unchanged.

Then, as the information indicating the display state, for example, there is information indicating the history of the operation of the user that has influenced the display on the display unit 305. The information indicating the display state may include information that is not included in the URL but affects the display of the display screen 305 when browsing the Internet site. The information indicating the display state may be information indicating a character encoding such as Shift-JIS, EUC, or UTF-8. Further, for example, Cookie may be used as the information indicating the display state. In addition, the information indicating the display state is information indicating the position of the pointer displayed on the display unit 305 when the display is switched, the position of the scroll bar, or the like when the Internet site is displayed on the mobile terminal 101. But it's okay. The position of the pointer or the like may be information indicating the relative position of the pointer on the display screen. As a result, even if the display areas of the mobile terminal 101 and the internet connection terminal 100 are different in size, the relative positions can be reproduced on the internet connection terminal 100.

Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In the present description, an example will be described in which an internet site accompanied by an authentication process is taken over from the mobile terminal 101 to the internet connection terminal 100. Further, in the following, the same reference numerals are given to those equivalent to the previous embodiment,
The explanation is omitted to avoid duplication.

Therefore, the mobile terminal 101 stores the operation history 900 in the data storage unit 303.

The information included in the operation history 900 includes, for example, a character string input in a text box, information indicating a button or icon clicked on the Internet site, and information indicating the content selected on the list box. .. Further, the information included in the operation history 900 may include information indicating a URL displayed as a result of such an operation.

FIG. 10 shows the data of the operation history 1000 of the user operation for the Internet content recorded by the mobile terminal 101 when the user browses the Internet content whose content is dynamically changed without changing the URL in this embodiment. An example of components and contents is shown, and the mobile terminal 101 stores the operation history 1000 in the data storage unit 303. The operation history 1000 includes, for example, information indicating the position of the clicked coordinate.

FIG. 11 shows transmission data 1100 transmitted from the mobile terminal 101 to the Internet connection terminal 100 in the present embodiment. The transmission data 1100 includes header data 1101 in which identification information such as data length and data type is described. The URL 1102 of the Internet site and the operation history 900.

The operation of this embodiment will be described below with reference to the flow charts of FIGS. 9, 10, 11 and 12. In the present embodiment, the mobile terminal 101, for example, when the Internet site browsed by the user is an Internet site accompanied by an authentication process or an Internet content whose content dynamically changes without changing the URL, An operation history 900 of user operations on the Internet site is recorded. Further, when transmitting the URL of the Internet site to the Internet connection terminal 100, the mobile terminal 101 transmits the transmission data 1100 including the operation history 900 in addition to the URL in the same manner as in the first embodiment. To do. Further, the internet connection terminal 100 receives the transmission data 1100 to access the internet site indicated by the URL and perform the same operation as the user operation indicated by the operation history 900 on the internet site displayed, It is for displaying the Internet site in the state where the operation is completed.

FIG. 12 shows the flowchart of FIG. 5 used in the first embodiment of the present invention to which steps shown by thick frames are added. FIG. 12 shows the operation of the mobile terminal 101 in a frame 500 and the operation of the Internet connection terminal 100 in a frame 513 as in FIG. 5, and in the following description, the operation flow in the frame 500 will be described. The operation flow in the frame 513 will be described in parallel. That is, the flow of operation of each of the mobile terminal 101 and the Internet connection terminal 100 and the relationship in the flow of operation of both terminals will be simultaneously described. Further, in the following description, the mobile terminal 101 is taken as an example of a mobile phone, and the Internet connection terminal 100 is taken as an example of a television having an Internet connection function.

In this embodiment, when the user browses the internet site in step 502, the mobile phone displays the operation history 900 and the operation history 1000 every time the user performs an operation such as selection or input to the internet site. The data is stored in the data storage unit 209 (step 1201).

At this time, the mobile phone does not need to record the operation history 900 and the operation history 1000 relating to all the Internet sites browsed by the user, and for example, the URL is an HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Security), which is an important Internet site. , Or an Internet site dynamically generated by a function such as ASP (Active Server Pages), or when the displayed content of the document of the Internet site contains so-called FLASH (registered trademark) or other interactive content. When included, the operation history 900 and the operation history 1000 may be recorded only for these Internet sites. If the Internet site contains FLASH or ASP content, the source file is defined by a tag, so the mobile phone can identify the type of site by this tag.

Further, even when the Internet site is a dynamically generated Internet site or the like, it is not necessary to store all operation histories in the operation history 1100. Among the operation histories, the history of the operations that change the display may be recorded. For example, when the Internet site includes dynamic FLASH content, the operation history may record operations such as clicking and character string input performed on the dynamic content.

Next, in this embodiment, when the user tries to browse the Internet site on the television in step 503 and selects the button corresponding to the button display 402 displayed in the display unit 305 of the mobile phone, The mobile phone includes the URL 1102 of the Internet site which is the starting point for recording the operation history 900 or the operation history 1000, the operation history 900 or the operation history 1000, and the transmission data 1100 to which the header data 1101 is added. Then, the transmission data 1100 is transmitted to the television. Further, the system control unit 301 controls the display unit 305 and the like so as to end the display of the Internet site on the mobile terminal after transmitting the URL.

On the other hand, when the television receives the transmission data 1100 (step 1203), it accesses the Internet site of the URL 1102, performs the operation indicated by the operation history 900 or the operation history 1000 on the Internet site, and performs the operation. The Internet site in the state after the visit is displayed (step 1204).

It should be noted that the same method as described above is used when the URL is transmitted from the television to the mobile phone in step 509 and step 519, and the terminal for accessing the Internet site and displaying is returned to the mobile phone again.

As described above, when the internet site browsed by the user with the mobile phone is the internet site accompanied by the authentication process or the internet content whose contents are dynamically changed without changing the URL, the television stores the data. An operation history 900 and an operation history 1000 of user operations on the Internet site are recorded in the section 209. Further, the TV transmits to the TV the transmission data 1100 including the URL of the Internet site that is the starting point for recording the operation history 900 and the operation history 1000 and the operation history 900 and the operation history 1000. Further, the television receives the transmission data 1100, the television accesses the internet site indicated by the URL, performs the operation indicated by the operation history 900 and the operation history 1000 on the internet site, and finishes the operation. Is displayed.

As a result, when the user switches access to the same Internet site between different terminals, whether the Internet site being browsed is an Internet site with authentication processing or the contents are dynamically changed without changing the URL. Even in the case of changing Internet contents, it is possible to smoothly switch access to a terminal that newly accesses the Internet site without performing authentication processing or content operation again.

Further, when the URL is transmitted from the mobile phone to the information processing apparatus such as a television without transmitting the display information, the information processing apparatus may not display anything on the Internet site indicated by the URL. It will be displayed without any operation. Therefore, the more complicated the structure of the Internet site, the more operations are required until the state in which the operation on the mobile phone is reflected after the URL being displayed is transmitted. According to the mobile terminal 101 and the Internet connection terminal 100 of the example, it is possible to reduce the labor of the operation.

The respective embodiments have been described above. Instead of the mobile terminal 101, other information processing terminals can also perform communication via the Internet and smoothly switch access between a plurality of terminals.
