BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, a display processing apparatus and a display processing method according to the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0033] (First embodiment)

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a display processing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the display processing device of this embodiment is built in a terminal device 10 such as a mobile phone or a personal computer. The display processing device includes a control unit 11, a control program storage unit 12, a memory 13, an operation unit (input unit) 14, and a display unit 15. The terminal device 10 includes radio communication means including an antenna and a circuit related to communication, and other components such as a power source, but the description thereof is omitted here.

The control unit 11 is constituted by a CPU, and executes processing according to the control program stored in the control program storage unit 12. The control unit 11 is, for example, a page dividing unit 11 Has A and small page number setting section 1 IB. The small page number setting unit 11B, for example, the operation unit 14 page information for specifying the browsing page based on the input of the force, and the browsing page division request having the number of divisions when dividing the browsing page into a plurality of small pages Is generated. The small page number setting unit 11B outputs this browsing page division request to the page division unit 11A. Receiving the browse page split request, the page splitting unit 11A splits the browse page into small pages of the number of splits indicated in the split request.

When the number of divisions is not indicated in the browse page division request, the control unit 11 can set a predetermined number of divisions, for example, “10” (default setting). In this embodiment, a method of dividing the viewing page into 10 small pages of the same size is adopted (see FIG. 2). That is, the page division unit 11A divides the entire display area of the browse page into areas of a certain ratio. However, the dividing method is not particularly limited. It is also possible to measure the amount of data for each predetermined area of the browsing page and divide the browsing page into small pages so that the data volume of each small page is equal.

Note that the control unit 11 may include a browsing page size determination unit 11C that determines whether the size of the browsing page is a size that can be displayed on the display unit 15 at a time. The browsing page size determination unit 11C will be described in the second embodiment.

[0037] Further, the control unit 11 assigns each divided small page to different numbers in a one-to-one correspondence, and determines whether or not the number input by the operation unit 14 has been pressed for a predetermined time or longer. When it is determined that the input number has been pressed for a predetermined time or longer, the small page assigned to correspond to this number is output to the display unit 15 and displayed on the display unit 15. That is, the control unit 11 includes an allocation unit and a long press determination unit (not shown in FIG. 1). The long press time can be set by a user operation. In FIG. 2, each of the small pages assigned to the numbers “1” to “10” is represented using reference numerals “1” to “10”.

[0038] The control program storage unit 12 is configured by a ROM, and stores a control program for executing processing performed by the control unit 11.

[0039] The memory 13 is constituted by a RAM, and has a data storage area 131, a divided page storage area 132, a key state storage area 133, and a work area (not shown). Data record The memory area 131 stores a browsing page that constitutes information data on the display unit 15 by the user. The browsing page has, for example, page information “ABCDEF. DAT” as information for specifying this page. Such browsing pages include browser information input from other terminal devices via the antenna, data such as e-mail and memo pad, data created by the user, and external recording data such as CD-ROM. There is also a page that has information and data capabilities.

[0040] The divided page storage area 132 stores, for example, small pages "1" to "LO" shown in FIG. The small page is information that identifies this small page, for example, the browsing page is "ABCDEF. DAT", and is the third of the ten pages divided into 10 small pages. In this case, the small page information “ABCDE F. DAT-3” is included. Here, “3” indicates a small page corresponding to “3” among the small pages from “1” to “10” generated by dividing the viewing page “ABCDE F. DAT”. ! /

[0041] In the key state storage area 133, when a small page designated by the user is browsed, an operation unit force for designating the corresponding small page is input. For example, when the long press time is “3” seconds, “3” is stored. The work area is a storage area required when the control unit 11 performs processing.

[0042] The operation unit 14 is a device for inputting an operation to be executed by the terminal device 10 of this embodiment, and also has a keyboard power having a pointing device such as a mouse, a numeric keypad, an entry key, a numeric key, and the like. . The display unit 15 is composed of a liquid crystal display device, and displays browsing pages, small pages, and other display contents.

Next, the operations of the display processing device and the terminal device 10 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing operations of the display processing device and the terminal device according to the embodiment. When a user obtains a browsing page of predetermined data information from a browser or the like, the operation unit 14 specifies “ABCDEF. DATE” as page information for specifying the browsing page by a user operation. Then, the page is displayed on the display unit 15, and the page is further stored in the data storage area 131 (step S101). The browsing page is, for example, It can be obtained via the wireless communication means of the display processing device.

[0045] As a result of the above-described user operation, when the browsing page is divided into small pages, the number of divisions is output to the small page number setting unit 11B of the browsing page division request power control unit 11 having “10”. (Step S102), the control unit 11 stores the division number “10” indicated in the input browse page division request in the work area.

[0046] Next, the page division unit 11A of the control unit 11 reads the viewing page "ABCDEF. DAT" indicated in the browsing page division request from the data storage area 131, and outputs a small page corresponding to the number of divisions "10". (Step S103). Next, an assigning unit (not shown) of the control unit 11 assigns each divided small page to 1 to 10 different numbers in a one-to-one correspondence, and assigns these assigned small pages to the divided page storage area 132. (Step S104). Here, for example, the second allocated small page has “ABCDEF. DAT-2” t and small page information.

[0047] After that, when the user inputs a number “2”, for example, indicating the item to be viewed from the small pages, the operation unit 14 indicates that the input number “2” has been pressed. Is output to the control unit 11. The long press determination unit (not shown in FIG. 1) of the control unit 11 stores the number “2” in the work area when the fact that the number “2” is pressed is input from the operation unit 14, and also the key state The long press time “3” stored in the storage area 133 is read out, and the time when the number 2 is pressed, that is, the time until the signal indicating the number “2” disappears, for example, “3”. It is determined whether or not the force has passed 2 seconds (step S105).

[0048] When the long press determination unit of the control unit 11 determines that, for example, "3" seconds have elapsed (step S105; NO), the small page browsing process is terminated, while "3" “If it is determined that the second has passed (step S105; YES), the small page corresponding to“ 1 ”to“ 10 ”stored in the divided page storage area 132” ABCDEF. DAT— X (where X is Any number from 1 to 10) "From page", small page corresponding to number "2""AB CDEF. DAT—2" and number "3" Of the small page “ABCDEF. DAT—3” and the small page “ABCDEF. DAT—4” corresponding to the number “4”, only the first portion that can be displayed on the display unit 15 is read (step S106). Is output to the display unit 15 as shown above (indicated by the dotted line in FIG. The display unit 15 displays these small pages (S (Step S107), the small page browsing process is terminated.

In the example of FIG. 2, when the number “10” is pressed and the last small page “ABDEF. D AT-10” is read, the page is displayed on the screen (FIG. 2). The lower dotted line part (indicated by reference numeral 10A) and the display area in the lower part are left behind. In this case, the display unit 15 displays an image indicating that there is no portion to be displayed, such as black display (indicated by the hatched portion in FIG. 2 and reference numeral 10B).

[0050] According to the display processing device 10 of this embodiment, the display unit 15 displays the small pages divided by the dividing unit corresponding to the number input by the operation unit 14, so that when browsing the information data In addition, only one operation is required to display the portion of the page desired to be browsed, so that the efficiency of the browse operation can be improved. As a result, it is possible to eliminate unnecessary time and operations for displaying the portion of the page that the user desires to browse, and to eliminate the operational stress on the user.

[0051] Further, according to the display processing device 10 of this embodiment, the number of small pages to be divided by the control unit 11 is set based on the number input from the operation unit 14, so that the small page desired by the user is set. The number of items can be set freely.

[0052] The display processing device 10 described above simultaneously displays a small number of small pages to be displayed on the display unit 15 in addition to a small number of small pages corresponding to the number specified by the operation unit 14. This is because the display unit 15 can display the size of 2Z10 of the browsing page “ABCDEF. DAT”. As another method, instead of the user inputting the number of divisions in step S102 described above, the control unit 11 automatically performs division based on the size of the small page that can be displayed on one screen of the display unit 15. Determine the number and divide the viewing page in step S103.

[0053] By adopting such a configuration, the control unit 11 divides the image into a plurality of small pages each having a size for displaying one screen, so only the small pages assigned to the number input by the operation unit 14 are displayed. Part 15 can be displayed.

[0054] (Second Embodiment)

Next, the configuration and operation of the display processing device and the terminal device 10 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 4, and FIG. In the present embodiment, the entire browsing page is previously stored. Instead of dividing into a predetermined number of small pages, small pages are displayed according to the size of the display unit 15 (size of one screen).

[0055] The configuration of the terminal device 10 including the display processing device of the second embodiment is basically the same as the configuration of the terminal device 10 included in the display processing device of the first embodiment. Components similar to those described in the first embodiment will be omitted from the description.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the terminal device 10 of the second embodiment, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the size of the browsing page is a size that can be displayed on the display unit 15 at a time. It has a page size determination unit 11C. If the size of the browsing page is larger than the size that can be displayed on the display unit 15 at a time, the browsing page size determination unit 11C determines that the size of the browsing page is not the size that can be displayed on the display unit 15 at a time. A browse page division request including an instruction to divide a page into small pages is output to the page division unit 11A. This browsing page division request does not need to include the number of divisions when the browsing page is divided into a plurality of small pages. That is, when the control unit 11 has the browsing page size determination unit 11C as in the present embodiment, the control unit 11 has a small page number setting unit 11B for setting how many small pages the browsing page is divided into. You don't have to. In the present embodiment, the page dividing unit 11 A that has received the browsing page dividing request starts from a predetermined position in the browsing page, and the entire browsing page is divided into a plurality of sizes that can be displayed on the display unit 15 at a time. Divide into small pages.

[0057] Here, the browsing page size determination unit 11C calculates, for example, the number of pixels (pixel number) P1 of the browsing page, and compares the number of pixels P1 of the browsing page with the number of pixels P2 of the display unit of the mobile terminal. If P 1 ≤ P2, it is determined that the size of the browse page is a size that can be displayed on the display unit 15 at one time. On the other hand, if P1> P2, it is determined that the size of the browse page is not a size that can be displayed on the display unit 15 at one time. A known method can be used as the calculation method of P1. The terminal device 10 may calculate the above P1 before displaying the browsing page, or may calculate the above P1 while displaying the browsing page.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing operations of the display processing device and the terminal device according to the second embodiment. When a user obtains a browsing page for predetermined data information from a browser, the user By the operation, the operation unit 14 specifies “ABCDE F. DAT” as page information for specifying the browsing page, and starts acquiring the browsing page (step S 201). The acquired data of the browse page is sequentially stored in the data storage area 131.

[0059] In the browsing page acquisition process, when the browsing page size determination unit 11C of the control unit 11 determines that the page is too large to be displayed on the display unit 15 at once, a browsing page division request is issued. The data is output to the dividing unit 11A (step S202). Then, the page dividing unit 11A reads the stored data of the browse page “ABCDEF.DAT” from the data storage area 131 and divides the data for each size of the display unit 15 (step S203). The dividing unit of the control unit 11 assigns each small page in a one-to-one correspondence to different numbers from 1 to N corresponding to the number N of divided small pages, and divides these assigned small pages. Store in the page storage area 132 (step S204). Here, for example, the second allocated small page has small page information “ABCDEF.DAT-2”.

[0060] Then, first, the control unit 11 displays the first small page on the display unit 15 (step S205). After that, when the number “2” of the number keys indicating what is desired to be viewed from the small page is input by the user, the operation unit 14 indicates that the input number “2” has been pressed. Output to 11. When the operation unit 14 inputs that the number “2” is pressed, the long press determination unit of the control unit 11 stores the number “2” in the work area and the key state storage area 133. The long press time “3” is read and the time when the number 2 is pressed, that is, the time until the signal disappears after the signal indicating the number “2” is input, for example, “3” seconds Is determined (step S206).

[0061] The long press determination unit of the control unit 11 determines whether the long pressed key is a numeric key (step S207). If the key is not a numeric key (step S207; NO), the process is performed. finish. On the other hand, if the key is a numeric key (step S207; YES), whether or not browsing data of a small page specified by long press has already been acquired and stored in the divided page storage area 132, control The unit 11 determines (step S208), and if it has already been acquired and stored (step S208; YES), the small page is read and displayed on the display unit 15 (step S210). On the other hand, it was determined that the small page has not yet been acquired. If so (step S208; NO), the control unit 11 reads out the designated small page (step S209) and displays it on the display unit 15 (step S210). As a result, the small page “2” is output to the display unit 15 as shown in FIG. Note that the displayed area is indicated by reference numeral 2A in FIG. In the present embodiment, the size of each small page corresponds to the size of the display unit 15.

In the above-described embodiment, when the key corresponding to the small page is pressed for a predetermined time or longer via the operation unit 14, the small page assigned to correspond to this number is displayed. The configuration that is output to section 15 is adopted (hereinafter referred to as “long press mode”). However, the method for specifying the small page to be displayed is not limited to long key press, and other methods can be used. It can also be used. For example, a specific small page can be specified by combining two or more keys.

[0063] In Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 described above, the browsing page is divided into a plurality of small pages along one direction (vertical direction), but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this. In the embodiment of the present invention, the browse page may be divided into a plurality of small pages along two or more directions.

[0064] (Third embodiment)

In the third embodiment, for example, the browsing page is divided into a plurality of small pages along the first direction F (vertical direction) and the second direction S (horizontal direction). Hereinafter, the operation of the terminal device 10 having the display processing device of the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. Since the terminal device 10 of the third embodiment basically performs the same operation as that described with reference to FIG. 3 in the first embodiment described above, the first embodiment will be described below. Operations similar to those described in Section 5 are omitted. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a method of dividing the browsing page into nine small pages along the first direction F (vertical direction) and the second direction S (horizontal direction).

In the present embodiment, in step S 102, a browse page division request having, for example, “9” as the division number for dividing the browse page into small pages is output to the small page number setting unit 11 B of the control unit 11. .

[0066] In step S103, the page dividing unit 11A of the control unit 11 makes a browse page dividing request. Is read from the data storage area 131 and is divided into small pages corresponding to the number of divisions “9”. At this time, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, the page dividing unit 11A divides the browsing page into 3 in the first direction F (vertical direction) and 3 in the second direction S (horizontal direction). Is divided into small pages. The angle between the first direction F and the second direction S is about 90 degrees. Each of the 9 small pages has the same length in the first direction F. Each of the 9 small pages has the same length in the second direction S. Each of the 9 small pages is a rectangle of the same size. The size of the small page is larger than the size of the display unit 15 of the terminal device.

[0067] In the above description, if a browsing page division request having “9” as the number of divisions is output to the control unit 11 in step S102, the browsing page is displayed in the first direction F (vertical direction). In the above description, a case has been described in which the page is automatically divided into a total of nine small pages in the second direction S (horizontal direction), but the method of dividing the viewing page is not limited to this. For example, it may be possible to set the number of small pages divided in the first direction F (vertical direction) and Z or the second direction S (horizontal direction).

[0068] In step S104, the control unit 11 assigns each divided small page to different numbers 1 to 9 in a one-to-one correspondence, and assigns these assigned small pages to the divided page storage area 132. Remember. In FIG. 6, each of the small pages assigned to the numbers “1” to “9” is represented using reference numerals “1” to “9”. Figure 6 shows an example of assigning numbers “1” to “9” to each small page starting from the left edge of the browsing page, but the method of assigning numbers is not limited to this.

[0069] When the mobile phone described later with reference to FIG. 9 is used as the terminal device 10, in the division method shown in FIG. 6, the arrangement of small pages corresponding to “1” to “9” with respect to the entire browsing page is The arrangement of the numeric keys 25 “1” to “9” included in the operation unit 14 of the terminal device 10 is the same. In other words, the numeric keys included in the control unit 14 of the mobile phone are 1, 2, 3 on the first line, 4, 5, 6 on the second line, and 7, 8, on the third line. Since 9 is arranged, it is the same as the arrangement of the small pages shown in Fig. 6 for the entire browsing page. In this case, there is an advantage that the user can easily understand the arrangement of the small pages with respect to the entire browsing page!

In the terminal device 10 of the present embodiment, the size of the small page is the size of the display unit 15 of the terminal device 10. Larger than Therefore, for example, when “2” is input from the operation unit 14 as a number corresponding to a small page to be browsed, a part of the small page corresponding to “2” as shown in FIG. Is displayed on the display unit 15. First, the area displayed on the display unit 15 is, for example, a part (2A) at the upper left of the small page corresponding to “2”. The remaining portion 2B that is not displayed can be appropriately displayed by a method similar to the conventional method using, for example, a scroll key included in the operation unit 14 or the like.

[0071] (Fourth embodiment)

In the fourth embodiment, similarly to the third embodiment, the browsing page is divided into a plurality of small pages along the first direction F (vertical direction) and the second direction S (horizontal direction). The fourth embodiment is different from the third embodiment mainly in that the browsing page is divided into small pages according to the size of the display unit 15 (size of one screen).

Hereinafter, the operation of the terminal device 10 included in the display processing device of the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 5 and FIG. Since the terminal device 10 of the fourth embodiment basically performs the same operation as the operation described with reference to FIG. 5 in the second embodiment described above, the second embodiment will be described below. The same operations as described in the above will be omitted. FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a method of dividing the browsing page into 20 small pages along the first direction F (vertical direction) and the second direction S (horizontal direction).

[0073] In step S203, the page division unit 11A of the control unit 11 reads the stored data of the browse page "ABCD EF. DAT" from the data storage area 131, and stores the data for each size of the display unit 15. Divide (step S203). In the case of FIG. 7, for example, the length of the entire browsing page in the first direction F is approximately more than 4 times and less than approximately 5 times the length of the display unit 15 in the first direction F. Further, the length of the entire browsing page in the second direction S is approximately four times the length of the display unit 15 in the second direction S. In this case, the control unit 11 sets the browsing pages to 5 in the vertical direction F and 4 in the horizontal direction S along the first direction F (vertical direction) and the second direction S (horizontal direction). Divide into smaller pages. The angle between the first direction F and the second direction S is approximately 90 degrees.

[0074] In step S204, corresponding to the number of divided small pages of 20, each small page is assigned to a different number from 1 to 20 on a one-to-one basis, and these assigned small pages are divided. Store in page storage area 132. In Fig. 7, the numbers "1" to "20" are assigned. Each of the small pages is indicated using reference numerals “1” to “20”. FIG. 7 shows an example in which numbers “1” to “20” are sequentially assigned to each small page starting from the left end of the browsing page. However, the number assignment method is not limited to this.

Each small page corresponding to “1” to “16” is a rectangle having the same size as the display unit 15. That is, each of the small pages corresponding to “1” to “16” has the length in the first direction F equal to the length in the first direction F of the display unit 15. The length in the second direction S is equal to the length in the second direction S of the display unit 15. Each small page corresponding to "1" to "16" is a rectangle of the same size. Each of the small pages corresponding to “17” to “20” is smaller than the size of the display unit 15. That is, each of the small pages corresponding to “17” to “20” has a length in the first direction F smaller than a length in the first direction F of the display unit 15. Further, the length in the second direction S is smaller than the length in the second direction S of the display unit 15.

[0076] For example, when "2" is input from the operation unit 14 as a number corresponding to a small page to be viewed, the entire small page corresponding to "2" (indicated by reference numeral 2A in FIG. 7) as shown in FIG. ) Is displayed on display section 15. In addition, when “17” is input from the operation unit 14, the small page corresponding to “17” is smaller than the size of the display unit 15, so the small page corresponding to “17” as shown in FIG. The entire image (indicated by reference numeral 17A in FIG. 7) is displayed on the display unit 15, and the lower part of the small page corresponding to “17” displays an image indicating that there is no display part such as black display. (The shaded area in Fig. 2 is indicated by reference numeral 17B).

[0077] In the first to fourth embodiments described above, viewing is performed along the first direction (vertical direction) or along the first direction F (vertical direction) and the second direction S (horizontal direction). Although the case where the page is divided into a plurality of small pages has been illustrated, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto. The angle formed by the first direction F and the second direction S is not limited to approximately 90 degrees, and can be any angle. The angle formed by the first direction F and the second direction S can be appropriately selected based on the shape of the display unit 15, for example. In addition, the viewing page may be divided into multiple pages along three or more directions.

The display unit 15 may display which portion of the entire small page force browsing page displayed on the display unit 15 corresponds to. In this case, there is an advantage that the user can easily understand the arrangement of the displayed small page with respect to the entire viewing page. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, when one viewing page is divided into 10 small pages in the vertical direction and a small page corresponding to “2” is displayed, the display unit 15 A small page corresponding to “2” is displayed and “2Z10” is displayed on a part of the display unit 15.

[0080] Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, when one viewing page is divided into 9 small pages in the vertical and horizontal directions and a small page corresponding to "2" is displayed, As shown in FIG. 8, a small page corresponding to “2” is displayed, and a mark 40 is displayed on a part of the display unit 15. The mark 40 is composed of, for example, a quadrangle divided into a total of nine blocks of 3 vertical and 3 horizontal. This rectangle means that the viewing page is divided into 9 small pages, 3 in length and 3 in width, as shown in Figure 6. In addition, for example, the block (x (row), y (column)) of this square is displayed in color (1, 2), for example, in color, and the small page currently displayed on the display unit 15 can be viewed. The arrangement with respect to the The arrangement of the mark 40 in the display unit 15 is not particularly limited. For example, the mark 40 is displayed at the end of the display unit 15 so as not to prevent the display unit 15 from displaying a small page. The display method may be always displayed on the display unit 15 or may be appropriately displayed based on the input from the operation unit 14. Moreover, you may display using a pop-up etc.

The present invention is preferably applied to a mobile phone that can browse various websites and emails. This is because websites and e-mails often have information data of a page larger than the size of the display unit 15 (for example, the size in the y direction) mounted on the mobile phone. Further, the present invention is suitably applied to a mobile phone equipped with a web browser for mobile phones that can browse a website created for a personal computer as it is. This is because a website made for a personal computer is larger than the size of the display unit 15 (for example, the size in the X direction and the y direction) mounted on the mobile phone, and often has page information data.

FIG. 9 shows a perspective view of the terminal device 10, particularly a mobile phone. In the mobile phone, an upper casing 23 having a display unit 15 and a lower casing 21 having an operation unit 14 are connected via a hinge unit 29 so as to be opened and closed. In this example, designation of a small page is performed by a combination of a small page designation mode key (small page designation mode input section) 27 and a numeric key (number input section) 25 rather than a long press of a numeric key. In this example, the small page designation mode key (jump mode key) 27 is the “#” key, but other keys such as the “*” key may be assigned to the small page designation mode key. Small page designation mode key 27 Key operation shifts from the normal mode to the browsing small page specification mode (jump mode).

[0083] In the above description, the size of the display unit 15 or the size that can be displayed on the display unit 15 may be the size of the entire rectangular display unit 15 shown in FIG. It may be a part of 15 (for example, only the central part of the display unit 15).

In this example, for example, when the user wants to browse the small page “2”, after obtaining the browse page, the user presses the “*” key and then presses the numeric key “2”. Then, in step S105 in FIG. 3 (step S206 in FIG. 5), the control unit 11 displays the small page “2” on the display unit 15 in response to the input detection of the “*” key and the numeric key “2”. After entering the “*” key, a message stating “Please press the number of the small page you want to view.” May be displayed on the display unit 15. In addition, the terminal device 10 can be provided with a function that enables selection of “long press mode” and “jump mode”!

[0085] In the above-described embodiment, generally, the display unit 15 is configured by a liquid crystal display or the like, and is incorporated in an integral housing together with other parts. However, this configuration is not essential, and the display unit 15 can be configured separately from other units.

[0086] The present invention also includes a program for causing a computer to execute the procedure of the display processing method of the present invention. The program is stored inside or outside the terminal device in various recording media and memory formats.

[0087] While various embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the matters shown in the above-described embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make changes based on the description and well-known techniques. · Application is also the scope of the present invention, and is included in the scope of protection.
