Abstract
A Web page display apparatus includes: an acquisition unit for acquiring a Web page; a generation unit for generating a reduced Web page by reducing the Web page so that the particular element has a width smaller than that of the display size when a user-specified particular element in a plurality of elements constituting the Web page has a width greater than that of display size of a display unit; and a display control unit for controlling the display unit to display a particular reduced element of the reduced Web page corresponding to the particular element when the particular element has a width greater than that of the display size.
Claims20
A Web page display apparatus comprising:
- circuitry of computer hardware configured to:
- acquire a Web page including a plurality of elements, the elements defining the Web page;
- control a display to display a reduced image of the Web page, the reduced image having a same plurality of elements as the acquired Web page, each of which is reduced in size such that all of the plurality of elements of the Web page are simultaneously displayed on the display and the reduced image is smaller than or equal to a display size of the display;
- generate a reduced Web page by reducing the acquired Web page, in response to a user selecting an element of the reduced image whose corresponding element within the acquired Web page has a width which is greater than a width of the display size of the display, by reducing the acquired Web page so that the width of the corresponding element is made smaller than or equal to that of the display size;
- and
- control the display to display the corresponding element of the reduced Web page so that content within the corresponding element of the reduced Web page is widthwise visible to the user.
A Web page display method comprising:
- acquiring a Web page, via circuitry of a
- Web page display apparatus, the Web page including a plurality of elements, the elements defining the Web page;
- displaying, via the circuitry, a reduced image of the Web page, the reduced image having a same plurality of elements as the Web page, each of which is reduced in size such that all of the plurality of elements of the Web page are simultaneously displayed on the display and the reduced image is smaller than or equal to a display size of the display;
- generating, via the circuitry, a reduced Web page by reducing the acquired Web page, in response to a user selecting an element of the reduced image whose corresponding element with the acquired Web page has a width which is greater than a width of the display size of the display, by reducing the acquired Web page so that the width of the corresponding element is made smaller than or equal to that of the display size;
- and
- displaying the corresponding element of the reduced Web page so that content within the corresponding element of the reduced Web page is widthwise visible to the user.
A Web page display apparatus comprising:
- circuitry of computer hardware configured to:
- acquire a Web page including a plurality of elements, the elements defining a container in which Web objects are displayed;
- control a display to display a reduced image of the Web page, the reduced image having a same plurality of elements as the Web page, each of which is reduced in size such that all of the plurality of elements of the Web page are simultaneously displayed on the display and the reduced image is smaller than or equal to a display size of the display;
- generate a reduced Web page by reducing the acquired Web page, in response to a user selecting an element of the reduced image whose corresponding element within the acquired Web page has a width which is greater than a width of the display size of the display, by reducing the acquired Web page so that the width of the corresponding element is made smaller than or equal to that of the display size;
- and
- control the display to display the corresponding element of the reduced Web page so that content within the corresponding element of the reduced Web page is widthwise visible to the user.
