Display control information generation

A display control information generation method comprising generating display control information for dividing and displaying a form in a style conforming to a terminal used by a user, the step of generating comprising the steps of:

• reading a screen definition of a form and a code of validators for executing validation of an input value inputted to an input item in the form out of a storage device and dividing the form in conformity to a terminal capacity of the terminal;
• generating a display user interface for displaying an internal state including a state of each input item of the form and a state of the validator together with a sub-form obtained by division;
• and
• providing the generated display user interface to the terminal.

A computer for generating display control information for dividing and displaying a form in a style conforming to a terminal used by a user, the computer comprising:

• request receiving means for receiving a form request from the terminal;
• storing means for storing a screen definition of the form subjected to the form request and a code of validators for executing validation of an input value inputted into an input item in the form;
• terminal capacity acquiring means for acquiring a terminal capacity of the terminal for displaying the form of the terminal;
• dividing means for dividing the form in conformity to the terminal capacity acquired by the terminal capacity acquiring means by use of the screen definition of the form and the code of validators read out of the storing means;
• and
• screen generating means for generating screen information to be displayed on the terminal by use of a result of division by the dividing means.

A program causing a computer to divide and display a form in a style conforming to a terminal used by a user by achieving functions of:

• acquiring a terminal capacity of a terminal transmitting a form request;
• reading a screen definition of the form subjected to the form request and a code of validators for executing validation of an input value inputted into an input item in the form out of a storage device;
• and
• dividing the form in conformity to the acquired terminal capacity by use of the read-out screen definition of the form and the read-out validators.
