Invention Description (U), Keyboard 55, Mouse 56 And interface card (I / F) 57, 58, 59 and other hardware. WWW browser 2, character string extraction system 3, dictionary search application 4, and other application soft hip systems operate on the window system 1 via API11. Next, the operation of the WWW online system having the configuration shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 5 to 9. In the following description, it is assumed that the window system 1 and the WWW browser 2 of the main application are already activated. After the character string extraction system 3 is started, it is set to prohibit the input of the character string information from the text output part 1 ΓΑ of the window system 1 AP I 1 1 from other application programs, but to import it into its own text input part 3 1 (Step S 1 1). That is, the text function (the function of the text input unit 31) is hooked by the AP I 1 1. In other words, the character output unit 11 A of the API 11 is replaced by the character string extraction system 3. Therefore, the addresses of Text0uc () and ExtTextOutO that have been set to AP I 1 1 shown in Figure 2 are stored and set to their own addresses. Next, in order to extract the character string, a timer is registered with the drawing unit 32 (step S12). With this "registration timer", the "twe-event" generated every 100 ms can be used to execute the drawing process shown in Figure 6 (that is, the process of writing to the rectangle ) 0 The drawing unit 3 2 is the position information of the mouse cursor, such as the position information of its absolute coordinates, which is imported from the window system 1 through the API 1 1 (the paper scale of the step is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS > A4 specification ( 210X297mm) -14-Γ Please read the notes on the back before filling in this page) Order A7 '_B7_ _____ printed by the Ministry of Economic Affairs Central Standard Bureau Beigong Consumer Cooperative V. Invention Description (12) S 2 1). Then, it is judged whether or not the position coordinates of the mouse cursor retrieved are in the window displaying the search result of the dictionary search application 4 (step S 2 2). If it is in the window where the search result is being displayed, the processing is ended and the main routine is returned. If the mouse cursor is located outside the window displaying the search result, it is judged whether the position is "the change from the position when the previous time-event occurred?" (Step S 2 3), if the position has not changed, the "timing variable" will be incremented (step S 2 4) ○ Next, the incremented timing variable and "in order to distinguish the mouse 5 '6 is set in advance The setting value T ”is compared (step S 2 5). When the variable t exceeds the set value T, a rectangle is written next to the mouse cursor on the screen (step S26). Then, the timing variable t is initialized again. Then, the "Capture Flag" CF that represents "the rectangle has been written to prompt the character string to be drawn again" is turned on (step S26). Next, after finishing the processing, it returns to the original state. In the same way, the "timed event" that occurs every 100 m s starts the drawing process. As for the "rectangle" drawn, it is better to be a portrait that cannot be visually recognized. Therefore, in this embodiment, "1X8 dots" of gray or background color as shown in FIG. 10 (B) is written. Depending on the conditions of the character string to be extracted and the type of displayed text, sometimes the paper standard indicated by the mouse cursor is not just output again.

The description of the invention (13) is only, but It is advisable that the output is again included in a total of 3 lines including the preceding and following lines. In this case, it is to write "dot columns" that span several rows. In addition, if the WWW browser 2 is designed to output the WWW browser in the form of drawing data in text units, it can be output by writing a rectangle of 4 Ο Ο X 8 points, for example, so that it can output about one line Copies of text. In step S23, if it is detected that the position of the mouse cursor has changed, it is presumed that the mouse cursor is moving. Therefore, after t = 0 (step S27), this drawing process is ended. At step S25, if it is determined that the variable t does not exceed the set value T, then the mouse cursor is considered to be stationary for only a short time, and there is a possibility that it may move again. Therefore, this drawing process ends. The window system 1 performs the work of detecting the drawing shown in Fig. 7 at all times. That is, if the window system 1 detects "for drawing on the display day", it further detects its absolute coordinates (step S31), and then based on the absolute coordinates and various information obtained by the window system To identify the window containing the "position of writing rectangle" (step S32). Then, the window system 1 orders "the identified window application (in this case, the WWW browser 2)" to be displayed again: at least the predetermined area containing the part (step S 3 3) °

If the WWW browser program 2 receives the "redisplay command" from the window system 1, it will output the character string information of this part again as shown in Fig. 8 (step S41).
