Here, when the input means 20 is used to focus on “travel registration” and the selection button is pressed, bookmark information “weather ΔΔ” is set as a travel bookmark. [0043] FIG. 3 (d) is displayed on the display means 30 when “tour folder” is selected in the folder list shown in FIG. 3 (a) after the bookmark information power “weather △△” is registered. This is an example screen. In the tour folder, the title name of the bookmark information registered in the tour is displayed. Here, “weather △△” registered as a patrol in FIG. 3 (c) is displayed.

[0044] In this example, when a tour folder is selected, the title of the bookmark information registered for tour is displayed. However, no tour folder is provided and the tour is registered as shown in Fig. 3 (e). It may be possible to confirm that the bookmark information is on the bookmark information list screen. Although the setting method for canceling the traveling bookmark is not described in detail here, it goes without saying that there is a setting for canceling the traveling corresponding to the traveling registration.

FIG. 4 (a) and FIG. 4 (b) are information tables indicating the contents of bookmark information stored in the bookmark information storage means 41. FIG. The information table stores bookmark title names, URLs, patrol flags indicating whether or not a patrol bookmark is powerful, and bookmark information having a setting number indicating the order in which the patrol flags are set. Here, it is assumed that five pieces of bookmark information Bl1, B12, B13, B14 and B15 are stored. Here, using FIG. 4 (a) and FIG. 4 (b), the difference in the contents of the information table before and after setting the cyclic bookmark will be described.

FIG. 4 (a) is a diagram showing an information table when no cyclic bookmark is set in the bookmark information storage means 41.

[0047] The traveling flag is set to OFF in the initial state because all bookmark information is set as a traveling bookmark.

[0048] The setting number is set to 0 in the initial state because all bookmark information is set as a traveling bookmark and is! / ヽ.

[0049] In FIG. 4 (b), bookmark information B13 is set as a traveling bookmark first, followed by

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an information table when bookmark information B14 force is set as a traveling bookmark.

[0050] The traveling flag is set when bookmark information B13 and B14 set as traveling bookmarks are set to ON. Bookmark information B set as a traveling bookmark 11, B12 and B15 are set to OFF in the initial state.

[0051] The setting number is 1 in the bookmark information B13 in the order set as the traveling bookmark.

, Bookmark information B14 is set to 2. The bookmark information Bl1, B12, and B15 that are not set as traveling bookmarks is set to 0 in the initial state.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing URL specifying information stored in the URL specifying information storage means 42. In this example, the URL specifying information indicates a setting number stored in the bookmark information storage unit 41, and is information for specifying one URL. The initial state of URL specific information is

It shall be set to 1.

[0053] FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an operation when the mobile phone terminal 10 sequentially browses the content information indicated by the URL of the traveling bookmark when the information table shown in FIG. 4 (b) is set. .

In FIG. 6, the control means 60 starts processing when a Web browser (not shown) is activated. When the Web browser is activated, the control unit 60 sends a write signal for initializing the URL specifying information to 1 to the URL specifying information storing unit 42. Then, the URL specific information storage unit 42 initializes the URL specific information to 1 in accordance with the write signal received from the control unit 60 (step S 1).

[0055] Next, the control means 60 determines whether or not it has received the input signal from the input means 20 (step S2). When the control means 60 receives an input signal from the input means 20 (step S2, Yes), a preset control condition (in this example, the operation button dedicated to the bookmark patrol in the operation button group 21 is not selected). It is determined whether or not the force matches the input signal when pressed (step S3). On the other hand, when the control means 60 has not received the input signal from the input means 20 (step S2, No), it is determined whether or not the web browser is terminated (step S4).

[0056] If the Web browser has already ended! / Turn (Step S4, Yes), the process ends. On the other hand, if the Web browser is being activated (No at Step S4), the control means 60 determines again whether or not it has received the input signal from the input means 20 (Step S2).

[0057] When the input signal from the input means 20 and the input signal when the operation button dedicated for bookmark patrol (hereinafter referred to as the patrol dedicated button) is pressed, the control means 60 matches the input signal. (Step S3, Yes), a read signal is sent to the URL specifying information storage means 42. Upon receipt of the read signal from the control means 60, the URL specific information storage means 42 sends the URL specifying information 1 as a read result signal to the control means 60 (step S5). On the other hand, if the input signal from the input means 20 and the input signal when the patrol-only button is pressed do not match (step S3, No), it is determined whether or not the web browser has ended (step S3). S4).

The control means 60 sends a read signal to the bookmark information storage means 41 based on the URL specification information received from the URL specification information storage means 42. The bookmark information storage means 41 is a URL of bookmark information that matches the stored setting number and the URL specific information received from the control means 60 (in this example, http: ZZccc.co.jp/ind ex. html) is sent to the control means 60 as a read result signal (step S6).

[0059] Here, if the setting number that matches the URL specifying information received from the control means 60 does not exist in the bookmark information storage means 41, the bookmark information storage means 41 cannot be read out to the control means 60. A read result signal is transmitted. When the control means 60 receives a read signal indicating that it cannot be read! /, It sends a write signal for initializing the URL specific information in the URL specific information storage means 42 to 1 to the URL specific information storage means 42. Then, URL specific information is initialized to 1. Then, the control means 60 sends a read signal to the bookmark information storage means 41 based on the initialized URL specifying information, and reads the URL of the bookmark information having a setting number that matches the URL specifying information.

When the control unit 60 reads the URL from the bookmark information storage unit 41, the control unit 60 sends a communication request signal based on the URL to the wireless communication unit 50. The wireless communication unit 50 connects to the URL received from the control unit 60 by wireless communication, and acquires the content information at the storage location indicated by the URL. Then, the wireless communication unit 50 sends the acquired content information to the control unit 60 as a communication response signal (step S7).

The control means 60 sends the content information received from the wireless communication means 50 to the display means 30 as a display signal. The display means 30 displays the content information according to the content of the display signal received from the control means 60 (Step S8).

[0062] After sending the display signal to the display means 30, the control means 60 receives the UR received in step S5. 2 that is obtained by adding 1 to L specific information is sent to the URL specific information storage means 42 as a write signal. Then, the URL specifying information storage unit 42 updates the URL specifying information to 2 in accordance with the write signal received from the control unit 60 (step S9). By updating the URL specifying information, the control means 60 causes the bookmark information storage means 41 to store a plurality of times each time an input signal from the input means 20 matches a preset control condition. One different URL can be read from the URL.

[0063] Thereafter, the control means 60 repeats Step S2 to Step S9 until the Web browser is terminated. When the input signal matches the control condition again (step S3, Yes), the control means 60 reads the URL specification information (2) stored in the URL specification information storage means 42 (step S5), and bookmarks. A bookmark information URL (in this example, http: ZZddd.co.jp/index.html) having a setting number that matches the URL specifying information is read from the information storage means 41 (step S6). Then, the control means 60 sends a communication request signal based on the URL to the wireless communication means 50 to acquire content information (step S7) and display it on the display means 30 (step S8).

[0064] FIGS. 7 (a) to 7 (c) show screens when the patrol-only button of the operation button group 21 is pressed when the information table shown in FIG. 4 (b) is set. It is a figure which shows a transition.

FIG. 7 (a) is a diagram showing a screen example in which arbitrary content information is displayed on the display means 30 by a Web browser. On this screen, when the patrol-only button is pressed, it connects to the URL of the bookmark information B13 that is set first as the traveling bookmark, and the acquired content information is displayed as shown in Fig. 7 (b). Here, when the dedicated tour button is pressed, it connects to the URL of the bookmark information B1 4 set as the second travel bookmark, and the acquired content information is displayed as shown in Fig. 7 (c). To do. Here, when the dedicated tour button is further pressed, there are two bookmark information items set as a traveling bookmark, so the URL that bookmark information B13 has is connected again, as shown in Fig. 7 (b). Displayed content information

In the first embodiment, the control condition for sequentially browsing the content information of the traveling bookmark has been described as the operation of pressing the traveling dedicated button. However, the operation button group 21 is not provided without providing the traveling dedicated button. Operation buttons (e.g., numeric buttons, letter buttons, Direction buttons), voice input operation from the microphone 22 (for example, “next”, “fore”, “back”, etc.), or sensors (for example, tilt sensors) that indicate various states of the mobile phone terminal 10. It is also possible to allow the user to arbitrarily set the detection operation force.

[0066] Also, in the first embodiment, after the Web browser is started, the URL specifying information is initialized, so that it is always connected first to the URL of the bookmark information set first as the traveling bookmark. However, the URL specific information set at initialization can be set by the user, and the URL power of any cyclic bookmark may be connected.

[0067] Alternatively, the URL specifying information after starting the Web browser may not be initialized, and the connection may be made following the URL of the cyclic bookmark indicated by the URL specifying information stored when the Web browser was last closed.

[0068] Also, in the first embodiment, it has been described that the specific order of URLs to be connected when the input signal matches a preset control condition is the order set as a cyclic bookmark. The storage means 41 may further store the browsing count information so that the URL to be connected is specified based on the number of browsing counts and the order.

[0069] Also, in the first embodiment, when the input signal matches the control condition, the specific order of the URL to be connected is described as the order set in the traveling bookmark (ascending order). A control condition may be provided, and if the input signal matches another control condition, the URL to be connected may be specified in the order set as the traveling bookmark (descending order).

As described above, according to the mobile phone terminal 10 of the first embodiment of the present invention, does the control unit 60 match the input signal input from the input unit 20 and the preset control condition? If it is determined and matched, it is possible to simplify the operation when sequentially browsing the content information by specifying one different address from a plurality of addresses registered as traveling bookmarks.

[Embodiment 2]

Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described by taking as an example a mobile phone terminal provided with a group for classifying a traveling bookmark (hereinafter referred to as a traveling group) in a traveling folder. [0072] The configuration of mobile phone terminal 10 in the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention is the same as that in the first exemplary embodiment, and will be described using the same reference numerals.

FIG. 8 (a) is a screen example in which a list of folders to which bookmark information belongs is displayed on the display means 30. In this example, four folders are displayed: “News”, “Travel”, “TV” and “Travel Folder”. Here, to create a tour group in the “tour folder”, use the input means 20 to focus on the “tour folder” and press the function button.

FIG. 8 (b) is an example of a screen on which setting items related to “tour folder” are displayed on the display means 30. In this example, setting items include group creation and deletion. A group can be created as a traveling group with an arbitrary name. Deletion can delete a tour group that has already been created. Here, the input means 20 is used to focus the group creation, and the selection button is pressed to create a traveling group named “Kanto”.

[0076] FIG. 8 (c) shows that when a tour group called “Kanto” is created, the input means 20 is used to focus on the “travel folder” shown in FIG. 8 (a) and the selection button is pressed. It is an example of a screen displayed on the display means 30. As the traveling group, the traveling group having the name “Kanto” created in FIG.

[0077] FIGS. 8 (d) to 8 (f) show one bookmark information among the bookmark information stored in the bookmark information storage means 41 using the input means 20 and the display means 30. This is an example of a screen showing the procedure for setting as a bookmark for the tour group created in Figs. 8 (a) to 8 (c).

FIG. 8 (d) is a screen example in which “news” shown in FIG. 8 (a) and a list of bookmark information belonging to the folder are displayed on the display means 30. In this example, the three bookmark information “News (Kanto)”, “News (Kansai)” and “News (Overseas)” are displayed. Here, when the bookmark information “News (Kanto)” is set as a traveling bookmark for the traveling group “Kanto”, the input means 20 is used to focus on “News (Kanto)”. And press the function button.

FIG. 8 (e) is a screen example in which “news (Kanto)” and setting items related to bookmark information are displayed on the display means 30. In this example, the setting items include title editing, deletion, and cyclic registration. In title editing, the title name of bookmark information can be edited. Deletion can delete the selected bookmark information. When the tour registration is selected, the bookmark information can be set as a tour bookmark in an arbitrary tour group. Here, the input means 20 is used to focus on cyclic registration and the selection button is pressed.

[0080] FIG. 8 (f) shows an example of a screen for selecting a tour group to be classified after the tour registration is selected. In this example, since the traveling group “Kanto” has been created in advance, focus is placed on “Kanto” and the selection button is pressed. As a result, “News (Kanto)” can be set as a traveling bookmark for the traveling group “Kanto”.

Here, the setting method for canceling the traveling bookmark is not described in detail, but it goes without saying that the setting for canceling the traveling is provided corresponding to the traveling registration.

FIGS. 9 (a) and 9 (b) are information tables showing the contents of bookmark information stored in the bookmark information storage means 41. The information table includes the title name of the bookmark, the URL, the group number of the cyclic group that classifies the cyclic bookmark, the cyclic flag indicating whether or not the cyclic bookmark is set, and the setting number indicating the order in which the cyclic flag is set. The bookmark information it has is stored. Here, it is assumed that six items of bookmark information B21, B22, B23, B24, B25 and B26 are stored.

The traveling group number is a number that is stored in the bookmark information storage unit 41 and indicates to which traveling group each bookmark information is set as a traveling bookmark. Since the traveling group number is not set for all bookmark information traveling groups, 0 is set as the initial state. [0086] The traveling flag is set to OFF in the initial state because all bookmark information is set as a traveling bookmark.

The setting number is set to 0 in the initial state because all bookmark information is set as a traveling bookmark and is! / ヽ.

[0088] Figure 9 (b) shows information when bookmark information B21, B24, and B26 are set to a traveling group called “Kanto” and subsequently bookmark information B22 and B25 are set to a traveling group called “Kansai”. It is a figure which shows a table.

[0089] The traveling group number is assumed to be associated with the traveling group name by another information table (not shown). In this example, the traveling group name "Kanto" and the traveling group number 1 are Assume that the traveling group name “Kansai” and the traveling group number 2 are associated with each other.

[0090] In the traveling flag, ON is set in bookmark information B21, B22, B24, B25, and B26 set as a traveling bookmark. It is not set as a traveling bookmark !, bookmark information B23 is set to OFF in the initial state.

[0091] The setting number is a number set in the order set as a traveling bookmark for each traveling group. For the traveling group “Kanto”, 1 is set for bookmark information B21, 2 for bookmark information B24, and 3 for bookmark information B26. For the traveling group “Kansai”, 1 is set in bookmark information B22 and 2 is set in bookmark information B25. The bookmark information B23, which is set as a traveling bookmark, is set to 0 in the initial state.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing URL specifying information 1 and URL specifying information 2 stored in the URL specifying information storage means 42.

The URL specifying information 1 is information corresponding to the traveling group number stored in the bookmark information storage means 41. Further, the URL specifying information 2 is information that is! / Scorresponding to the setting number stored in the bookmark information storage unit 41.

[0094] Using the URL specifying information 1 and the URL specifying information 2, the bookmark information storage unit 41 specifies a bookmark information URL from a plurality of stored bookmark information. The initial status of URL specification information 1 and URL specification information 2 is both set to 1. Next, the operation of the mobile phone terminal 10 according to the second embodiment will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG.

The control means 60 starts processing when the Web browser is activated. When the Web browser is activated, the control unit 60 sends a write signal for initializing the URL specifying information 1 and the URL specifying information 2 to 1, to the URL specifying information storage unit 42. Then, the URL specifying information storage unit 42 initializes the URL specifying information 1 and the URL specifying information 2 to 1 in accordance with the write signal received from the control unit 60 (step S 1).

Next, the control means 60 determines whether or not an input signal from the input means 20 has been received (step S2). When the control means 60 receives an input signal from the input means 20 (step S2, Yes), a preset control condition (in this example, the input signal when the patrol-only button is pressed) It is determined whether or not they match (step S3). On the other hand, when the control means 60 has not received the input signal from the input means 20 (step S2, No), it is determined whether or not the web browser is finished and whether or not it is strong (step S4).

[0098] If the web browser has already ended (step S4, Yes), the process ends. On the other hand, if the Web browser is being activated (No at Step S4), the control means 60 determines again whether or not it has received the input signal from the input means 20 (Step S2).

[0099] When the input signal from the input means 20 matches the input signal when the patrol-only button is pressed (step S3, Yes), the control means 60 reads the URL specific information storage means 42. Send a signal. Upon receiving the read signal from the control means 60, the URL specific information storage means 42 sends the URL specific information 1 and the URL specific information 2 to the control means 60 as read result signals (step S5). On the other hand, if the input signal from the input means 20 and the input signal when the patrol-only button is pressed do not match (No in step S3), the web browser is terminated and it is determined whether or not the force is correct. (Step S4).

The control means 60 sends a read signal to the bookmark information storage means 41 based on the URL specification information 1 and the URL specification information 2 received from the URL specification information storage means 42. The bookmark information storage means 41 is the URL of the bookmark information whose URL identification information 1 received from the control means 60 matches the traveling group number and whose URL identification information 2 matches the set number (in this example, http: // /aaa.co.jp/index.html) As a read result signal (step S6).

Here, when the cyclic group number that matches the URL specifying information 1 received from the control means 60 does not exist in the bookmark information storage means 41, the bookmark information storage means 41 reads out that the control means 60 cannot read it out. Send a result signal. When the control means 60 receives a read result signal indicating that the URL cannot be read, the control means 60 stores a write signal for initializing the URL specification information 1 in the URL specification information storage unit 42 to 1 and the URL specification information 2 to 1. It is sent to means 42 and URL specific information is initialized.

[0102] Further, if there is a traveling group number that matches the URL identification information 1 received from the control means 60, but there are 41 setting numbers that match the URL identification information 2, the bookmark information storage means 41 does not exist. The information storage means 41 sends a read result signal indicating that the information cannot be read to the control means 60. When the control means 60 receives the read result signal indicating that the data cannot be read, the control means 60 adds a value obtained by adding 1 to the URL specifying information 1 of the URL specifying information storing means 42 and a write for initializing the URL specifying information 2 to 1. A signal is sent to the URL specifying information storage means 42 to update the URL specifying information.

[0103] When the control means 60 reads the URL from the bookmark information storage means 41, the control means 60 sends a communication request signal to the wireless communication means 50 based on the URL. The wireless communication means 50 connects to the URL received from the control means 60 by wireless communication, and acquires content information at the location indicated by the URL. Then, the wireless communication unit 50 sends the acquired content information to the control unit 60 as a communication response signal (step S7).

[0105] After sending the display signal to the display means 30, the control means 60 sends out the URL specific information storage means 42 by using 2 as the write signal, which is obtained by adding 1 to the URL specific information 2 received in step S5. . Then, the URL specifying information storage unit 42 updates the URL specifying information 2 to 2 in accordance with the write signal received from the control unit 60 (step S9). By updating the URL specifying information, the control means 60 causes the bookmark information storage means 41 to store a plurality of times each time an input signal from the input means 20 matches a preset control condition. U One URL with different RL power can be read.

Thereafter, the control means 60 repeats Step S2 to Step S9 until the Web browser is terminated.

[0107] When the input signal matches the control condition again (step S3, Yes), the control means 60 causes the URL specification information 1 (1) stored in the URL specification information storage means 42 and the URL specification information 2 to be stored. (2) is read (step S5), and the bookmark information URL with the setting number that matches the URL specific information from the bookmark information storage means 41 (in this example, http: ZZddd.co.jp/index.html) ) Is read (step S6). Also,

The control means 60 sends a communication request signal based on the URL to the wireless communication means 50 to acquire content information (step S7) and display it on the display means 30 (step S8). Further, the control means 60 sends the URL specifying information 2 received in step S5 to the URL specifying information storage means 42 as 3 as a write signal, which is obtained by adding 1 to the URL. Then, the URL specifying information storage unit 42 updates the URL specifying information 2 to 3 in accordance with the write signal received from the control unit 60 (step S9).

[0108] Here, when the input signal matches the control condition (step S3, Yes), the control means 60 sends the URL specification information 1 (1) stored in the URL specification information storage means 42 and the URL specification. Information 2 (3) is read (step S5), and the bookmark information URL (in this example, http: // fff. Co. .html) is read (step S6). Further, the control means 60 sends a communication request signal to the wireless communication means 50 based on the URL, acquires content information (step S7), and displays it on the display means 30 (step S8). Further, the control means 60 sends 4 which is obtained by adding 1 to the URL specifying information 2 received in step S5 to the URL specifying information storing means 42 as a write signal. Then, the URL specifying information storage unit 42 updates the URL specifying information 2 to 4 in accordance with the write signal received from the control means 60 (step S9).

[0109] Here, when the input signal and the control condition further match (step S3, Yes), the control means 60, the URL specification information 1 (1) stored in the URL specification information storage means 42, and the URL Specific information 2 (4) is read (step S5), and the URL information is read from the bookmark information storage means 41. It tries to read the URL of the bookmark information with the setting number that matches the constant information. However, the bookmark information storage means 41 sends to the control means 60 a read result signal indicating that it cannot be read because there is no cyclic bookmark having a cyclic group number of 1 and a set number power. When the control means 60 receives the read result signal indicating that it cannot be read, the control means 60 initializes the value (2) obtained by adding 1 to the URL specifying information 1 of the URL specifying information storing means 42 and the URL specifying information 2 to 1. Is sent to the URL specifying information storage means 42, and URL specifying information 1 and URL specifying information 2 are updated.

[0110] In the second embodiment, the control condition for sequentially browsing the content information of the traveling bookmark has been described as the operation of pressing the traveling dedicated button. However, the operation button group is not provided with the traveling dedicated button. Operation of pressing other 21 operation buttons (for example, numeric buttons, character buttons), voice input operation from microphone 22 (for example, “Next”, “Fore”, “Back”, etc.), or mobile phone terminal The user may also be able to arbitrarily set the detection operation isotropic force of a sensor indicating the ten states (for example, a tilt sensor).

[0111] In the second embodiment, when browsing the bookmark after starting the Web browser, the URL identification information 1 and the URL identification information 2 are initialized. It was explained that it always connects to the traveling bookmark set at the beginning, but the URL specific information 1 and URL specific information 2 set at initialization can be set by the user, and the URL of any traveling bookmark can be set Try to make a force connection.

[0112] In addition, the URL specific information after starting the Web browser is not initialized, and the connection is made following the URL of the cyclic bookmark indicated by the URL specific information 1 and URL specific information 2 stored when the Web browser was last closed. You may do it.

[0113] If the URL power of an arbitrary traveling bookmark is also connected, after viewing all the content information of the traveling bookmark belonging to the same traveling group, the content information of the traveling bookmark set at the beginning of the next traveling group You can also browse.

[0114] In the second embodiment, when the input signal matches the control condition, the specific order of the URL to be connected is the power bookmark information storage means 41 described as the order set as the traveling bookmark. Further memorize the number of browsing times, based on the order of the most browsing times Therefore, the URL to be connected may be specified.

[0115] Also, in Embodiment 2, if the input signal matches the control condition after browsing all the cyclic bookmarks belonging to cyclic group number 1, the content of the cyclic bookmark set first in cyclic group number 2 Although it has been explained that the information is browsed, it is also possible to browse the content information of the traveling bookmark in order only by the arbitrary traveling group set in advance by the user.

[0116] Further, in the second embodiment, when the input signal matches the control condition, the specific order of the URL to be connected is described as the order set in the traveling bookmark (ascending order). A control condition may be provided, and if the input signal matches another control condition, the URL to be connected may be specified in the order set as the traveling bookmark (descending order).

As described above, according to the mobile phone terminal 10 of the second embodiment of the present invention, does the control means 60 match the input signal input from the input means 20 and the preset control condition? If it is determined and matched, it is possible to simplify the operation for sequentially browsing the content information by specifying one different address from a plurality of addresses registered as a traveling bookmark belonging to the traveling group. .
