In addition, there are a <p> element that defines a paragraph, an <img> element that defines an image, and the like. For convenience of explanation, the HTML information 50 describes only the main structure.
[Display position relation information 51]
Next, the display position relationship information 51 will be described.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the display positional relationship information 51 generated as a result of the syntax analysis of the HTML information 50 (see FIG. 4) by the display control unit 17 of the display device 1 according to the embodiment.
The display control unit 17 analyzes the HTML information 50 and generates display positional relationship information 51.
The display position relation information 51 is an element that associates the elements of the structure of the web page with its position information, and is used when displaying the web page. Each data of the display positional relationship information 51 is included in the HTML information 50 and defines the display positional relationship of the display target in the web page.

As shown in FIG. 5, the display position relationship information 51 is information configured by associating elements 511, attributes 512, position information 513, size information 514, and character information 515.
The element 511 is information for identifying an element of the structure of the web page. Hereinafter, for example, information for identifying a headline is referred to as “headline”. The attribute 512 is information accompanying the element 511. For example, the attribute 512 of the row in which the element 511 is “link” is a URL indicating a link destination. The position information 513 is information indicating the xy coordinates of each element in the case where the upper left corner of the web page A100 is the origin and the x-axis is taken rightward in the horizontal direction and the y-axis is taken downward in the vertical direction, and the unit is pixels. For example, the position information 513 of the line whose element 511 is “paragraph” is “(10, 30)”, the x coordinate is “10”, and the y coordinate is “30”. The size information 514 is information indicating the size of the area on the web page occupied by the element. Note that the size information 514 of the row in which the element 511 is “display portion” is information indicating the size of the first display region 101, that is, the region where the web browser displays the web page. Here, it is assumed that the size of the first display area 101 is fixed at 400 × 500 pixels. Further, since the size of the web page A100 is 400 × 1000 pixels and larger than the first display area 101, the web page A100 can be scrolled. When the scroll operation is performed, the value of the position information 513 of the row in which the element 511 is “display portion” changes by the amount of the scrolled pixel. Character information 515 is text data displayed on the web page.

The list generation unit 19 determines whether or not a display target to which a link is set is displayed in the first display area 101 based on the display position relationship information 51. For example, the position information 513 of “link to web page G” is “(10,800)”, the position information 513 “(0,0)” of the element 511 “display portion”, and the size information 514 “400 × Considering “500”, it is determined that “link to web page G” is not displayed in first display area 101. When the scroll operation of the web page A100 is performed, the value of the position information 513 of the element 511 “display portion” is, for example, “(0, 400)”. At this time, in the first display area 101, the upper left coordinate is (0,400) and the lower right coordinate is (400,900), so the “link to the web page G” is the first display area. 101 is determined to be displayed. At the same time, “link to web page B” and “link to web page C” illustrated in FIG. 5 are determined not to be displayed in the first display area 101 from the position information 513 and the size information 514.
[Link Display Target List 30]
Next, the link display target list 30 will be described.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the link display target list 30 generated by the list generation unit 19 of the display device 1 according to the embodiment.
The link display target list 30 is a collection of display targets that are not displayed in the first display area 101 among display targets in which links existing in the HTML information 50 are set. The list generation unit 19 refers to the display positional relationship information 51 (see FIG. 5), and the “link to the web page E”, “link to the web page F”, and “link to the web page G” are the first. It is determined that they are not displayed in the display area 101, and these are designated as “link to web page E” 100e, “link to web page F” 100f, and “link to web page G” 100g, respectively. A list 30 is generated. The link display target list 30 is stored in the storage unit 14.
[Phrase information 40]
Next, the phrase information 40 will be described.

The phrase information 40 is used when the link display target list 30 is generated. The list generation unit 19 is registered in the phrase information 40 in the display target character information to which the link is set. Only a display target for which a link including the phrase is set is generated as the link display target list 30. The registered words / phrases are words / phrases that are highly worth displaying in the second display area 102 as the link display target list 30, for example, proper nouns, keywords, and the like. These phrases are registered in advance in an external server, and the mobile phone 1000 takes in new information from this server and stores it as phrase information 40 in the storage unit 14.
<Operation>
The operation of the display device 1 having the above configuration and handling the data will be described below with reference to FIG. 7 (the configuration is appropriately shown in FIG. 1).

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing display processing of the display device 1 according to the embodiment.
This process is started when the receiving unit 18 receives a web page display request according to an instruction from the user.
As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 7, in step S <b> 11, the information acquisition unit 11 acquires HTML information 50.

In step S <b> 12, the display control unit 17 displays the web page A <b> 100 in the first display area 101.
In step S13, the display control unit 17 determines whether or not the web page A is registered as the starting page. The starting page is a web page that is a target for generating a link display target list. It is assumed that the user registers the URL of the starting page in advance.

  When the web page A is registered as the starting page (step S13 / Yes), in step S14, the display control unit 17 determines whether or not the list display setting value is ON. The list display set value is a flag for determining whether or not to start the link display target list display mode for displaying the link display target list, and is set in advance by the user. When the list display setting value is ON, the link display target list display mode for displaying the link display target list is started. When the list display setting value is OFF, the link display target list is not always displayed.

When the list display setting value is ON (step S14 / Yes), in step S15, the control calculation unit 20 determines whether or not an end operation has been accepted. The termination operation refers to an operation for terminating a web browser or an operation for closing a window displaying a web page.
When the end operation has not been received (step S15 / No), in step S16, the display control unit 17 determines whether or not the display condition of the link display target list is satisfied. Here, the display condition is a condition for determining a situation where it is useful for the user if the link display target list is displayed in the second display area 102. For example, a condition for determining whether or not the user is searching for a target link is set. Here, it is assumed that the display condition has returned to the starting page twice or more within 30 seconds after the transition from the starting page to another web page. In this way, it is determined that the user is searching for another link on the starting page.

When the display condition is satisfied (step S16 / Yes), in step S17, the list generation unit 19 performs a list generation process to generate the link display target list 30.
In step S <b> 18, the display control unit 17 generates the second display area 102.
In step S <b> 19, the display control unit 17 displays the link display target list 30 in the second display area 102.

In step S <b> 20, the display control unit 17 determines whether or not the origin page has changed to another web page.
When it has not changed to another web page (Step S20 * No), display 1 returns to Step S15, and continues processing. When transitioning to another web page (step S20 / Yes), in step S22, the display control unit 17 erases the second display area 102 generated in step S18. That is, the link display target list 30 displayed in the second display area 102 is also deleted.

  On the other hand, if the display condition is not satisfied in step S16 (No in step S16), in step S21, the display control unit 17 determines whether or not the non-display condition is satisfied. Here, the non-display condition is a condition for determining a situation in which there is a problem for the user if the second display area 102 is generated and the link display target list is displayed. For example, when the second display area 102 is generated so as to hide a part of the first display area 101, there is a problem when the user browses the display target displayed in the first display area 101. Therefore, a condition for determining whether or not the user is viewing the display target displayed in the first display area 101 is set. Here, the non-display condition is that the transition to another web page is not performed once in 10 seconds after the display target list 30 for links is displayed. By doing so, it is determined that the user is browsing the display target displayed in the first display area 101.

  When the non-display condition is satisfied (step S21 / Yes), the display control unit 17 erases the second display area 102 in step S22. That is, the display control unit 17 deletes the second display area when the link display target list 30 is displayed in the second display area 102, and when the second display area 102 is not generated, Maintain state. Thereafter, the display device 1 returns to step S15 and continues the processing.

When the display condition and the non-display condition are not satisfied (step S16 · No → step S21 · No), the display device 1 repeatedly performs the determinations of step S15, step S16, and step S21.
Also, (i) if it is not registered as the starting page in step S13 (step S13, No), (ii) if the list display set value is ON in step S14 (step S14, No), and (iii) In step S15, when an end operation is received (step S15 / Yes), the display device 1 ends the display process.

Next, the list generation process will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the list generation processing of the list generation unit 19.
In step S <b> 71, the list generation unit 19 refers to the display position relationship information 51 (see FIG. 5) and extracts all the rows in which the element 511 is “link”.
In step S <b> 72, the list generation unit 19 refers to the display position relationship information 51 (see FIG. 5), and whether a display target for which a link is set is displayed in the first display area 101 for each extracted row. Judge whether or not.

When the display target for which the link is set is not displayed in the first display area 101 (No in step S72), in step S73, the list generation unit 19 displays the display target for which the link is set for link display. Put in the target list.
On the other hand, when the display target for which the link is set is displayed in the first display area 101 (step S72: Yes), the list generation unit 19 sets the display target for which the link is set as the display target for link. Do not put in the list.

The list generation unit 19 repeats the determination in step S72 for each extracted row.
In step S74, the list generation unit 19 stores the link display target list 30 in the storage unit 14, and ends the list generation process.
Next, with reference to FIG. 9, how the web page transition and the link display target list 30 are displayed will be described.

FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining display conditions of the link display target list 30 of the display device 1 according to the embodiment.
First, it is assumed that the first display area 101 displays a part of the web page A that is the starting page. “B____” represents a link to the web page B. The display condition is that the user has returned to the starting page twice or more within 30 seconds after the transition from the starting page to another web page.

  The user taps the link to the web page B (step S31), and the display control unit 17 displays the web page B in the first display area 101 and starts timing. Next, the user executes the return function of the web browser (step S32), and the display control unit 17 displays the web page A in the first display area 101 and the number of times the process returns from the transition of step S31 to the starting page. Is “1”. Next, the user taps a link to the web page C (step S <b> 33), and the display control unit 17 displays the web page C in the first display area 101. Next, the user executes the return function of the web browser (step S34), and the display control unit 17 displays the web page A in the first display area 101, and the number of times the process returns from the transition of step S31 to the starting page. Is “2”. At this time, if 30 seconds have not elapsed since the transition of step S31, the display control unit 17 generates the second display area 102, and displays the link display target list 30 generated from the web page A in the second display area. 102 is displayed. Subsequently, the user taps a link to the web page F included in the link display target list 30 (step S35), and the display control unit 17 displays the web page F in the first display area 101 and 2 The display area 102 is erased. The user executes the return function of the web browser (step S36), and the display control unit 17 displays the web page A in the first display area 101, and if 30 seconds have not elapsed since the transition of step S33, The second display area 102 is generated, and the link display target list 30 generated from the web page A is displayed in the second display area 102.

  With the above operation, when the user browses the web page, even if the link set in the web page is not displayed on the device, it is possible to reduce the trouble of the operation to transit to the linked web page. . For example, in a portal site or the like that collects news articles with links set in titles, it is possible to access other news articles earlier.

In addition, by setting the display condition or the non-display condition, the generated second display area 102 is displayed in the first display area 101 when the user views the display target displayed in the first display area 101. The problem of hiding the display target can be avoided.
≪Modification≫
In the above-described embodiment, when a transition is made from the starting page where the link display target list 30 is displayed to another web page, the second display area 102 is deleted and the link display target list 30 is not displayed. However, in the following, even when a transition is made from the starting page on which the link display target list 30 is displayed to another web page, the link display target list 30 on the starting page continues to be displayed. A modified example will be briefly described.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a state when a transition is made from the starting page on which the link display target list is displayed to another web page in the display device according to the modification.
The display device according to the modification is obtained by changing the functions of the display control unit 17 and the list generation unit 19 of the display device 1 described above.
The list generation unit 19A refers to the display position relationship information 51, and displays the link display target list 31 regardless of whether or not the display target to which the extracted link is set is displayed in the first display area 101. Is to be generated.

The display control unit 17A continues to display the link display target list 31 of the start page even when transitioning from the start page on which the link display target list 31 is displayed to another web page.
As shown in the left diagram of FIG. 10, the link display target list 31 includes “link to web page B”, “link to web page C”, and “web page D” displayed in the first display area 101. Link to "is included. When the display control unit 17A transitions from the web page A, which is the starting page, to the web page B, the display control unit 17A displays the web page B in the first display area 101 and displays the link display target list 31 of the web page A. It displays on the 2nd display area 102 (right figure).

Thereby, the user can refer to the link set in the web page A without executing the function of returning the web browser from the web page B, and can return to the linked web page set in the web page A. It is possible to transition quickly. For example, in a portal site or the like that collects news articles with links set in titles, it is possible to access other news articles earlier.
<Supplement>
As described above, the display device according to the present invention has been described based on the embodiment and the modification, but can be changed without departing from the gist of the present invention.
