Display controller, display control method, display control program, and portable terminal device

A display control method comprising:

• a display step in which a display control mean performs a partial display of a Web (World Wide Web) page, when the Web page is displayed on display means, by using as a display range a range of the Web page corresponding to a screen size of the display means, and changes and displays the display range of the Web page to he displayed on the display means, in response to an operation of operating means;
• a display range detecting step in which a display range detecting mean detects a display range of the Web page displayed on the display means in the step;
• a key input pattern detecting step in which a key input pattern detecting mean detects a key input pattern of the operating means when the Web page is displayed in the display step;
• and
• a home position registering step for registering a home position when the key input pattern detected by the key input pattern detecting step is a key input pattern indicating a home position on the Web page,
• wherein a key input pattern includes a continuous operation time of a single key and a coordinate shift of a predetermined point of the Web page in response to the operation of the single key,
• wherein the home position registering step (1) detects whether the key input pattern indicates a home position on a Web page, and (2) registers a display range on the Web page detected at the display range detecting step as a home position that becomes the first display range at the time of displaying the Web page and URL (Uniform Resource Locator) information of the Web page, in an home position database per URL, by referring to a key input pattern database storing information indicating an operation intended by a user, per each key input pattern of the operating means, based on the key input pattern of the operating means detected in the key input pattern detecting step,
• wherein, in the display step, the display control means detects a home position corresponding to URL information of a Web page to be displayed, by referring to the home position database per URL based on the URL information of the Web page to be displayed, and displays first a display range of the home position on the display means, and
• wherein the home position registering step determines a user's intention to reach a home position when the key input pattern indicates one operation selected from the group consisting of a continuous operation of the operating means at a predetermined interval, a continuous operation of a page-turning key of the operating means, and a repeated operation between two operation keys of the operating means for a predetermined period of time.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium for storing a computer program for displaying a Web Page, wherein the program comprises:

• performing a partial display of a Web (World Wide Web) page, when the Web page is displayed on a display means, by using as a display range a range of the Web page corresponding to a screen size of the display means, and changing and displaying the display range of the Web page to be displayed on the display means, in response to an operation of operating means;
• detecting a display range of the Web page displayed on the display means by causing the computer to function as the display control means;
• detecting a key input pattern of the operating means during the time the Web page is displayed on the display means by causing the computer to function as the display control means;
• detecting whether the key input pattern indicates a home position on a Web page;
• registering a display range on the Web page when the key input pattern of the operation mean detected by causing the computer to function as the key input pattern detecting means is a key input pattern indicating a home position on the Web page, by causing the computer to function as the display range detecting means, as a home position that becomes the first display range when displaying a Web page and URL (Uniform Resource Locator) information of the Web page, in a some position database per URL, by referring to a key input pattern database storing information indicating an operation intended by a user, per each key input pattern of the operating means, based on the key input pattern of the operating means detected by causing the computer to function as the key input pattern detecting means;
• and
• causing the computer to function as the display control means for detecting a home position corresponding to URL information of a Web page to be displayed, by referring to the home position database based on the URL information of the Web page to be displayed, and for displaying first a display range of the home position on the display means,
• wherein the step of detecting whether the key input pattern indicates a home position on a Web page determines a user's intention to reach a home position when the key input pattern indicates one operation selected from the group consisting of a continuous operation of the operating means at a predetermined interval, a continuous operation of turning key of the operating means, and a repeated operation between two operation keys of the operating means for a predetermined period of time, and
• wherein a key input pattern includes a continuous operation time of a single key and a coordinate shift of a predetermined point of the Web page in response to the operation of the single key.

A portable terminal device comprising:

• display control means for performing a partial display of a Web (World Wide Web) page when the Web page is displayed on display means, by using as a display range a range of the Web page corresponding to a screen size of the display means, and for changing and displaying the display range of the Web page to be displayed on the display means, in response to an operation of operating means;
• display range detecting means for detecting a display range of the Web page displayed on the display means by the display control means;
• a key input pattern database in which information indicating an operation intended by a user is stored per key input pattern of the operating means;
• a home position database per URL for registering a home position used as the first display range when a Web page is displayed, together with URL (Uniform Resource Locator) information of the Web page;
• wherein a key input pattern includes a continuous operation time of a single key and a coordinate shift of a predetermined point of the Web page in response to the operation of the single key,
• key input pattern detecting means for detecting a key input pattern of the operating means when the Web page is displayed by the display control means;
• and
• home position registering means for registering a home position when the key input pattern detected by the key input pattern detecting means is a key input pattern indicating a home position on the Web page, (1) detecting whether the key input pattern indicates a home position on a Web page, and (2) registering a display range on the Web page detected by the display range detecting means as a home position corresponding to the Web page and URL information of the Web page, in the home position database per URL, by referring to information which is stored in the key input pattern database and indicative of an operation content intended by the user, based on the key input pattern of the operating means detected by the key input pattern detecting means;
• wherein the home position registering means determines a user's intention to reach a home position when the key input pattern indicates one operation selected from the group consisting of a continuous operation of the operating means at a predetermined interval, a continuous operation of a page-turning key of the operating means, and a repeated operation between two operation keys of the operating means for a predetermined period of time, and
• wherein, when a Web page is displayed on the display means, the display control means detects a home position corresponding to URL information of the Web page to be displayed, by referring to the home position database per URL based on the URL, information of the Web page to be displayed, and displays first a display range of the home position on the display means.
