By this operation, the display of the Internet site is switched from the TV to the mobile phone, so that the mobile phone is in the display switching mode. The operation of this step is performed, for example, by the control of the control unit 301. In addition, 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 function assigned to some keys of the input unit 102 used to operate the television from the mobile phone, and treats it as a key for operating a normal mobile phone (step 511). .. Further, 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 like the screen display 401 (step 512). In step 512, the mobile phone returns to the operating state of the mobile phone alone, 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 site is displayed on the Internet connection terminal 100 that has received the URL, and the user further displays the Internet site. The operation of the Internet connection terminal 100 is performed using the mobile terminal 101.

The mobile terminal 101 has a display switching mode in which the display is switched from the normal mode in which the mobile terminal 101 operates alone to the Internet connection terminal 100 by simply pressing a button for switching the Internet display to the Internet connection terminal 100. Then, the Internet connection terminal 100 is continuously changed to the operation switching mode in which the mobile terminal 101 is operated. Also, when displaying the Internet on the mobile terminal 101 again, by pressing the button for viewing the Internet on the mobile terminal 101 once, the operation switching mode is terminated, the display switching mode is entered, and the normal mode is set. 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 for newly displaying the Internet site, and further continue the mobile terminal 100. It is possible to operate a terminal that newly displays an Internet site by using the Internet site, and the user can smoothly switch the display of the Internet site between different terminals.

In the above embodiment, the screen display 406 displays the Internet site in full screen 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 this embodiment, when the Internet site is browsed by the mobile terminal 101, the main body that performs the communication performed via the Internet network and the process of outputting the received information as a video is the Internet connection device from the mobile terminal 101. 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 Internet connection device 100 communicates via the mobile terminal 101 network network, the user operates for browsing the Internet site. While the mobile terminal 101 can perform the above, it is possible to browse the Internet site by higher-speed communication.

Further, in this embodiment, it has been described that there are a television device, a set-box device, and a DLNA-compatible server as examples of Internet-connected terminals. When this embodiment is applied to these devices, it is possible to solve the problems that occur under 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 suspend viewing using a display such as a television in a hurry. Specifically, it is a case where a plurality of people watch TV and it becomes difficult for an individual to display an 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 of the TV is turned off from the display screen of the Internet site, the browser of the mobile phone with a communication function is activated, and the display is displayed. By inputting the displayed URL into the mobile phone, it is conceivable to continue viewing with the mobile phone with communication function. However, this method has a problem that many steps are required for the operation.

On the other hand, according to the mobile terminal 101 and the Internet connection device 100 of the present embodiment, for example, the above-mentioned problems are solved, and the subject of display and communication is not only switched from the mobile terminal 101 to the Internet connection device 100. , It becomes possible to conveniently perform the operation of switching from the Internet connection device 100 to the mobile terminal.

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

Next, Example 2 will be described. In this embodiment, in the Internet connection terminal 100 and the mobile terminal 101 of the first embodiment, a method of realizing the same operation as that of the first embodiment by using infrared communication for the communication used for sending and receiving URLs and sending and receiving instructions of various operations. explain.

Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Further, in the following, the same reference numerals will be given to those equivalent to those of the previous embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted in order 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 communication format of the infrared command specified by the above and 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, for example, an infrared ray conforming to the IrDA standard. Data is transmitted and received using the signal of.

Hereinafter, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 6, 7 and 8. In this embodiment, the Internet connection terminal 100 displays the Internet site when the URL of the Internet site is transmitted from the mobile terminal 101 by infrared communication by the user's operation while receiving and playing 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 is a flowchart of FIG. 5 used in the first embodiment of the present invention with the steps shown in bold frames added. Similar to FIG. 5, FIG. 8 shows the operation of the mobile terminal 101 in the frame 500 and the operation of the Internet connection terminal 100 in the frame 513. In the following description, the flow of the operation in the frame 500 will be described. By explaining the flow of operations in the frame 513 in parallel, the flow of each operation of the mobile terminal 101 and the Internet connection terminal 100 and the relationship in the flow of operations of both terminals will be explained at the same time. Further, 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 described later on a predetermined setting screen for the mobile phone by designating the manufacturer and model number using, for example, the input unit 102 (step 501). ). In this embodiment, the command is, for example, a general-purpose infrared command that can be received and processed on a television. The general-purpose infrared command is, for example, a command transmitted in the form of a PPM (Pulse Position Modulation) signal. Further, the format of the general-purpose infrared command is defined for each manufacturer, for example, and is a format used for communication with the attached remote controller.

The user turns on the power of 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 this 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, a user attempts 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 instructs the television to start IrDA communication by transmitting an infrared command recognizable by the television of the type set in step 501 (step 800). The television receiving the infrared command starts the IrDA communication (step 801) and requests the mobile phone to connect the IrDA communication (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 request for the IrDA communication connection from the TV, and IrDA between the TV and the mobile phone. Communication connection is established (step 803). 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 101 after transmitting the URL or at the same time as transmitting the URL.

In response to the establishment of the IrDA communication connection, the mobile phone system control unit 301 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 transmitter / receiver 600 (step 515). Further, the television transmits data indicating that the URL has been successfully received to the mobile phone via the IrDA communication by the infrared transmission / reception unit 600 (step 804). When the mobile phone receives the data indicating that the URL has been successfully received (step 805), the IrDA communication by the infrared transmission / reception unit 700 is disconnected (step 806). By the disconnection, the television also ends the IrDA communication by the infrared transmission / reception unit 600, and is in a state of accepting a normal infrared command received from a remote controller or the like (not shown). Further, the Internet site indicated by the URL is connected by the procedure described above, and the Internet site is displayed on the display unit 206 as shown in the screen display 406 (step 516).

On the other hand, in the mobile phone, after the URL is transmitted, the system control unit 301 is configured to be able to operate the television described later by using some keys of the input unit 102, and the display unit 305 is provided with, for example, a screen display 404. As shown in the above, a display is performed to explain to the user the contents of the operation that can be performed by pressing the key (step 505). Here, the configuration in which the television can be operated means that the infrared command for operating the television that can identify the type of television set in step 501 by pressing a part of the keys of the input unit 102 is sent to the infrared transmission / reception unit. It is transmitted via 700, and the infrared command has the same content as the infrared command transmitted by, for example, a remote controller (not shown) of the type of television set in step 501. As a result, when the user attempts to move the selection item of the internship site displayed on the television or determine the selection item, the screen display among the keys of the input unit 102 of the mobile phone is displayed. 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 displaying the Internet and the operation of the Internet browser 208 (step 517).

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

The television that receives the infrared command stops displaying the Internet site (step 518). In addition, the television initiates IrDA communication and requests the mobile phone to connect to IrDA communication (step 808). On the other hand, the mobile phone starts the IrDA communication immediately after transmitting the infrared command in step 508, receives a request for the IrDA communication connection from the television, and establishes the IrDA communication connection (step 809).

In response to the establishment of the communication connection, the television finally transmits the URL of the Internet site displayed by the television to the mobile phone via the infrared transmitter / receiver unit 600 (step 519). The mobile phone receives the URL (step 509), and transmits data indicating success in receiving the URL to the television by IrDA communication (step 810). The television receives the data (step 811), ends IrDA communication by the infrared transmission / reception unit 600, and is in a state of accepting a normal infrared command received from a remote controller or the like (not shown) (step 812). Further, the television displays the television program that was displayed before starting the display of the Internet, for example, on the screen display 403 (step 520).

On the other hand, the mobile phone that has received the URL of the Internet site displayed by the television at the end ends the communication by IrDA (step 813), accesses the Internet site of the URL, and displays the URL (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 to operate the TV from the mobile phone, and treats it as a key for operating a normal mobile phone (step 511). ). Further, 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 like 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 site is displayed on the Internet connection terminal 100 that has received the URL, and the user further displays the Internet site. The operation of the Internet connection terminal 100 is performed using the mobile terminal 101. Further, when transmitting these URLs and operation instructions, the operation of the television using the mobile phone is realized while switching between 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 for newly displaying the Internet site, and further continue the mobile terminal 100. It is possible to operate a terminal that newly displays an Internet site by using the Internet site, and the user can smoothly switch the display of the Internet site between different terminals.

In the configuration of this 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 this embodiment, it has been described that there are a television device, a set-box device, and a DLNA-compatible server as examples of the Internet connection terminal 100, but if this embodiment is applied to these devices, problems that occur under the following situations will occur. The point can be solved.

For example, in the general-purpose infrared command used for a television device, the types of commands that can be sent and received are limited, or the communication speed is limited. On the other hand, URLs and signals indicating operation information have a larger amount of information than signals sent and received simply for turning the power on and off with a 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 send / receive the information.

On the other hand, in the case of 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. Therefore, when the communication is not switched from the general-purpose command to IrDA, it is necessary to always wait for the communication by IrDA on the information processing device side. Then, if the connection is always established, there arises a problem that 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 by the general-purpose infrared command as a trigger, it is possible to solve the above-mentioned problem and improve the usability.

In this embodiment, communication by IrDA has been described as an example, but it is also possible to use short-range communication such as communication by Bluetooth, wireless communication such as wireless LAN, and communication by sound wave. This embodiment is particularly useful when communication is performed by a communication method in which a communication link needs to be established for sending and receiving information.

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

Next, Example 3 will be described. In this embodiment, when the Internet connection terminal 100 and the mobile terminal 101 of the first embodiment send and receive URLs and instructions for various operations, they not only display the Internet site indicated by the URL but also the mobile terminal 101. The method of realizing the operation of taking over from the mobile terminal 101 to the Internet connection device 100 until the state where the Internet site is 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, the displayed state after the change in the Internet site where the display state of the content changes dynamically without changing the URL.

Then, as the information indicating the display state, for example, there is information indicating the history of the operation of the user who 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 and affects the display of the display screen 305 when browsing an Internet site. Further, as the information indicating the display state, information indicating character encoding such as Shift-JIS, EUC, or UTF-8 may be used. Further, for example, Cookie may be used as the information indicating the display state. Further, 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, etc. when the Internet site is displayed on the mobile terminal 101. But it may be. Further, the position of the pointer or the like may be information indicating the relative position of the pointer in the display screen. As a result, even if the sizes of the display areas of the mobile terminal 101 and the Internet connection terminal 100 are different, the relative positions thereof can be reproduced in the Internet connection terminal 100.

Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In this description, an example of handing over an Internet site accompanied by an authentication process from a mobile terminal 101 to an Internet connection terminal 100 will be described. Further, in the following, the same reference numerals will be given to those equivalent to those of the previous embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted in order to avoid duplication.

FIG. 9 shows an example of the components and contents of the data of the operation history 900 of the user operation for the Internet site recorded by the mobile terminal 101 when the user browses the Internet site accompanied by the authentication process in this embodiment. 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 entered in a text box, information indicating a button or icon clicked on an Internet site, and information indicating the content selected on a list box. .. Further, as the information included in the operation history 900, information indicating a URL displayed as a result of such an operation may be included.

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 changes dynamically without changing the URL in this embodiment. An example of the 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 by the mobile terminal 101 to the Internet connection terminal 100 in this embodiment, and the transmission data 1100 includes header data 1101 in which data length and data type identification information are described. , The URL 1102 of the Internet site and the operation history 900.

Hereinafter, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 9, 10, 11, and 12. In the present embodiment, the mobile terminal 101 is, for example, when the Internet site browsed by the user is an Internet site accompanied by an authentication process, Internet content whose content changes dynamically without changing the URL, or the like. The operation history 900 of the user operation for the Internet site is recorded. Further, in the same manner as in the first embodiment, when the mobile terminal 101 transmits the URL of the Internet site to the Internet connection terminal 100, the mobile terminal 101 transmits the transmission data 1100 composed of the operation history 900 in addition to the URL. do. Further, the Internet connection terminal 100 accesses the Internet site indicated by the URL by receiving the transmission data 1100, performs the same operation as the user operation indicated by the operation history 900, and performs the operation on the Internet site. It displays the Internet site after the operation is completed.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart of FIG. 5 used in the first embodiment of the present invention with the steps shown in bold frames added. Similar to FIG. 5, FIG. 12 shows the operation of the mobile terminal 101 in the frame 500 and the operation of the Internet connection terminal 100 in the frame 513. In the following description, the flow of the operation in the frame 500 will be described. The flow of operations in the frame 513 will be described in parallel. That is, the relationship between the operation flow of each of the mobile terminal 101 and the Internet connection terminal 100 and the operation flow of both terminals will be described at the same time. Further, in the following description, the mobile terminal 101 will be referred to as a mobile phone as an example, and the Internet connection terminal 100 will be referred to as a television having an Internet connection function as an example.

In this embodiment, when the user is browsing the Internet site in step 502, each time the user performs an operation such as selection or input to the Internet site, the mobile phone displays the operation history 900 and the operation history 1000. Record 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 related to all the Internet sites browsed by the user. For example, the Internet site where security is important, such as the URL starting with HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Security). If it is an Internet site that is dynamically generated by a function such as ASP (Active Server Pages), or if it is an Internet site that is dynamically generated by a function such as ASP (Active Server Pages), or if the composition information of the displayed Internet site document contains interactive content such as so-called URL (registered trademark). When included, the operation history 900 and the operation history 1000 may be recorded only for these Internet sites. When an internet site contains FLASH or ASP content, it is defined by a tag in the source file, and the mobile phone can determine 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 the operation histories in the operation history 1100. Among the operation histories, the history related to the operation in which the display is changed may be recorded. For example, when the Internet site includes dynamic FLASH content, the operation history may be configured to record operations such as clicks and character string inputs performed on the dynamic content.

Next, in this embodiment, when the user tries to browse the Internet site on a television in step 503 and performs an operation of selecting a button corresponding to the button display 402 displayed in the display unit 305 of the mobile phone, the operation is performed. The mobile phone comprises the URL 1102 of the Internet site that 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 further comprises 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. Display the Internet site in the state after it has been done (step 1204).

In steps 509 and 519, the same method as described above is also used when the URL is transmitted from the television to the mobile phone and the terminal for accessing and displaying the Internet site is returned to the mobile phone again.

In this way, when the Internet site that the user browses on the mobile phone is an Internet site that involves authentication processing, or Internet content whose content changes dynamically without changing the URL, the TV stores data. The operation history 900 and the operation history 1000 of the user operation for the Internet site are recorded in the unit 209. Further, the television transmits to the television the transmission data 1100 composed of 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, in the television, the television that has received the transmission data 1100 accesses the internet site indicated by the URL, performs the operations indicated by the operation history 900 and the operation history 1000 on the internet site, and completes the operation. Is displayed.

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

Further, when the URL is transmitted from the mobile phone to an information processing device such as a television without transmitting the display information, in the information processing device, the Internet site indicated by the URL has no influence on the display. It will be displayed in a state where no operation has been performed. Therefore, the more complicated the structure of the Internet site, the more operations are required from simply sending the displayed URL to the state where the operation on the mobile phone is reflected. According to the example mobile terminal 101 and the Internet connection terminal 100, it is possible to reduce the time and effort of the operation.

The examples have been described above. As another information processing terminal instead of the mobile terminal 101, it is possible to perform communication via the Internet and smoothly switch access between a plurality of terminals.
