Benefits of technology

[0182]FIG. 17 shows the process of detecting the operation with respect to the dial object 20. When an operation event with respect to the dial object 20 occurs, the CPU 11 executes the process shown in FIG. 17.
[0183] To begin with, the CPU 11 judges whether or not the operation is effected on the dial object 20 (S200). If judged not to be the operation on the dial object 20, the CPU 11 judges whether or not the dial character is clicked (S201).
[0184] When the dial character is clicked, the indicator 21 is moved to a position of this clicked dial character (the numeral or the character string representing one of the 2- through 9-divisions). Further, the CPU 11 changes the display on the browser screen to the channel indicated or the n

Problems solved by technology

In the conventional display system displays the information to be browsed in the single display area and is therefore very hard to use in the following applications in some cases.
(2) The user is unable to compare two contents on the conventional one browser.
(3) When the user attempts to arrange plural items of information in the same screen dimensions, it takes a labor to adjust the screen dimensions of the browsers opened separately and arrange them.
The title characters do not, however, enable the user to sufficiently grasp contents of that page.
The user is therefore unable to accurately find out the desired page in the history.
The user is, however, unable to browse a plurality of registere

MODIFIED EXAMPLE 1 OF MOVING PROCESS

[0222]FIG. 22 shows a modified example 1 of the object moving process. In the information display system 1 in the third embodiment, the CPU 11 determines the movement destination of the object with reference to the movement destination list 43. The embodiment of the present invention is not, however, limited to the above steps of determining the movement destination. For instance, in the steps shown in FIG. 22, the movement target object is moved to a free area where no other object is displayed.

[0223] Referring to FIG. 22, the judgements in S300 and S301 are the same as those in FIG. 21, and hence their repetitive explanations are omitted.

[0224] Referring again to FIG. 22, when the click on the object is detected, the CPU 11 searches a free area on the screen (S312).

[0225] Next, the application program 41 instructs the window system 40 to move the object to that free area (S313). The object is thereby moved to the free area. Thereafter, the C...

MODIFIED EXAMPLE 2 OF MOVING PROCESS

[0232]FIGS. 24 and 25 show a modified example 2 of the object moving method. In the third embodiment, the movement destination list 43 is stored with the movement destinations of the object and the order of the movements, and the movement target object is moved according to this order. As a substitute for this mode, (X- and Y-directional) moving quantities of the object are retained, and the movement target object may be moved by these moving quantities.

[0233]FIG. 24 illustrates an object that is moved in this way. When the user clicks the circular object with an encircled numeral of 2, this circular object is moved a predetermined distance on the screen. If a moving position shifts beyond the display area in the X- or Y-direction, the moving position is set back by one screen. Thus, a moving locus of the moving circular object is depicted by dotted arrow lines.

[0234]FIG. 25 shows a process executed by the CPU in that case. The judgements in S3...

MODIFIED EXAMPLE 3 OF MOVING PROCESS

[0243] In the third embodiment discussed above, the object is moved based on the processing of the application program 41 for displaying the object. The embodiment of the present invention is not however, confined to this mode of moving the object on the basis of the indication given from the application program 41.

[0244]FIG. 26 shows an architecture of a program for moving the object by the processing of the window system 40 through no intermediary of the processing of the application program 41 in the information display system 1 (the modified example 3).

[0245] In the information display system 1, when detecting that the users manipulates the mouse 16 with respect to a specified object, the window system 40 refers to the movement destination list 43. Then, the window system 40 determines a destination to which the object is moved on the basis of the definitions in the movement destination list 43. The window system 40 writes the movement dest...

Abstract

Disclosed is an information display system capable of efficiently browsing items of information related by links. When displaying the information obtained by accessing a network, a plurality of display areas are formed, and plural items of information are displayed in these display areas. In this case, a display history of the information displayed may be stored, and the items of information displayed at the present or in the past may be displayed in a predetermined order in the respective display areas. When a first item of information displayed in a first display area is related to a second item of information, and when given an indication of displaying a second item of information, the second item of information may be displayed in a second display area while keeping the display of the first item of information in the first display area.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 09 / 764,302, filed Jan. 19, 2001, and now allowed, which further claims the benefit of priority Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-135030, filed May 8, 2000, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to an information display system having a graphical user interface (GUI). [0003] With a spread of the Internet over the recent years, a technology of readily browsing the information has been demanded. As a result, an information display system incorporating a program known as a browser was developed. The conventional browser has only one display area, and hence the user switches over a page by updating the information in that display area by overwriting, or starting another browser and displaying the information thereon, or rewriting a content in the same display area by selecting an index called a t...
