Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To unnecessitate horizontal scroll and to improve operability by changing the horizontal length of the picture of received image informatio4n corresponding to the horizontal length of a display part in a portable communication terminal. SOLUTION: A facsimile server adjusts the lateral length of a picture so that received information can correspond to the lateral length of a main LCD 105M at a member terminal. Then, such lateral length adjusted image information is transferred from an HTTPD server to the member terminal. The main LCD 105M displays the image while changing its length so that its horizontal length can correspond to the horizontal length of the main LCD 105M. Namely, the picture is displayed while being divided into two lines of the character string of 'portable telephone makes disaster' and the character string of 'unafraid' so as not to exceed the display range of the main LCD 105M. Thus, since the horizontal scroll is not required, operability is improved.

Icons for selecting various functions such as L are displayed. Therefore, in step S53, the system control unit 121 waits until one of the icons is selected. If any of the icons is selected, the process proceeds to step S54, and the process corresponding to the selected icon is performed. Execute Then, step S55
Then, it is determined whether or not the end has been instructed. If the end has not been instructed, the process returns to step S53, and the subsequent processing is repeatedly executed. If termination is instructed, the browser mode is terminated.

For example, among the icons shown in FIG.
The processing when the “bookmark” icon is selected is shown in the flowchart of FIG. In this case, first, in step S61, the system control unit 121 reads a homepage list registered in advance as a bookmark from the flash memory 124, and causes the main LCD 105M to display the list. The user selects the homepage to be accessed from this display with the pen 107 in step S62. At this time, in step S63, the system control unit 121 requests the common server device 2 to access the homepage selected in step S62. The common server device 2
In response to this request, the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 20 is executed.

That is, first, in step S71, the HTTPD server 25 of the common server device 2 requests the content proxy server 27 to access the specified homepage. In response to this request, the content proxy server 27 accesses the designated homepage via the firewall 28 and the Internet 8. Upon receiving the image information of the homepage in step S71, the content proxy server 27 transfers the image information to the facsimile server 23.

When 09 is pressed, the system control unit 121 is pressed.
Requests the common server device 2 to access the URL. In response to this request, the common server device 2
The URL is accessed, and the information obtained by the access is transmitted to the member terminal 1. Therefore, the information is displayed on the main LCD 105M.

If it is determined in step S68 that the jog dial key 109 has not been pressed,
Proceeding to step S70, it is determined whether other keys are turned on. If any other key is turned on, the process proceeds to step S71, and processing corresponding to the operated key is executed. In step S72,
If it is determined that the other keys have not been turned on, the process returns to step S65, and the subsequent processing is repeatedly executed.

In the examples shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, the image information is scrolled in the operated direction in response to the operation of the jog dial key 109. For example, as shown in FIG. As described above, when the jog dial key 109 is operated in a state where the cursor is displayed at a predetermined position, the cursor is moved one character at a time to the right or left in the figure according to the operated direction. You may make it move. FIG. 24 shows a state where the cursor has been moved rightward by one character from the state shown in FIG.

If the jog dial key 109 is operated continuously, the cursor moves rightward one character at a time. When the cursor reaches the right end, the cursor returns to the left end, and the operation of moving rightward again therefrom is repeated. . Then, if the operation of moving the cursor is continued while the cursor has moved to the lower right end, the image information is scrolled upward. When the jog dial key 109 is rotated in the opposite direction, the cursor moves in the opposite direction. Therefore, in this case, the image information can be scrolled downward.

As described above, when the cursor is moved one character at a time, it takes time to scroll the entire image information. Therefore, the rotation amount or the rotation speed of the jog dial key 109 may be detected, and the image information may be scrolled according to the detection result.

When the icon of the URL is selected in step S53 of FIG.
Displays a URL input screen as shown in FIG. 25 on the main LCD 105M. This URL input screen displays the character strings "http: //", ".co", ".or", ".a"
A button corresponding to “c”, “.go”, “.jp”, “.com”, “^”, etc. is displayed.
By selecting at 07, the character string can be easily input. When the "execute" button icon is operated, access to the input URL is executed.

In the above example, the screen of the image information is displayed on the main LCD 105M of the member terminal 1 by the common server device 2.
