In addition, a processing program used when the main control unit 20 performs related data collection processing, which will be described later, native language (for example, Japanese) dictionary data, and predetermined foreign language (for example, English) dictionary data used in the related data collection processing are as follows: For example, it is assumed that it is stored in a ROM.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a software configuration for realizing the related data collection function under the control of the main control unit 20. As shown in FIG. 3, the mobile phone 1 includes a web page input unit 30, a setting information storage unit 31, a language determination unit 32, a native language keyword extraction unit 33, a foreign language keyword extraction unit 34, a translation device communication unit 35, a keyword A display selection unit 36, a search query generation unit 37, and a search result analysis display unit 38 are provided.

  When a web page address is input via the touch screen 11 or when a web page address stored in the storage unit 26 is selected, the web page input unit 30 inputs the web page address to the browsing function. Web page data is acquired from the Web site. Then, the web page input unit 30 displays the content of the web page on the touch screen 11 by the browsing function.

  The setting information storage unit 31 stores language-related setting information 40 used in the related data collection process. FIG. 4 is a data configuration diagram illustrating an example of the setting information 40. As shown in FIG. 4, the setting information 40 includes native language information 42 indicating whether or not the language information 41 indicating each language is a native language, translation information 43 indicating whether translation is necessary, and a Web page. Language tag information 44 indicating a language tag designated as a description language of the text, and character code information 45 indicating a character code used for creating a Web page are associated with each other. For each language, the native language information 42 is indicated by “◯” when the language is the user's native language, and “x” when the language is not the native language. The translation information 43 is “necessary” when translation is necessary since the translation information 43 is a language that the system of the cellular phone 1 does not support for each language, and translation is possible because the system of the cellular phone 1 is compatible. When it is unnecessary, it is indicated as “unnecessary”.

  For example, according to FIG. 4, Japanese is a native language and no translation is required, English is not a native language and no translation is required, and German is a native language that requires translation. Each is set. That is, it can be seen that the user of the mobile phone 1 uses Japanese as his native language. It can also be seen that Japanese and English do not require translation, but German requires translation.

  The language discriminating unit 32 uses the setting information 40 to set the description language of the Web page from the language tag (for example, the one attached to the Web page data as an attribute) included in the Web page input by the Web page input unit. It is determined whether or not it is necessary to translate.

  The native language keyword extraction unit 33 extracts a keyword group from Web pages described in the native language. The foreign language keyword extraction unit 34 extracts a keyword group from a Web page described in a foreign language (a language other than the native language). When the translation device communication unit 35 needs to translate a web page, the translation device communication unit 35 generates a translation query from the web page content and transmits the translation query to the translation device. Instruct the translation device to translate. When the native language keyword extraction unit 33 receives the translated web page content (native language) returned from the translation device according to an instruction from the translation device communication unit 35, the native language keyword extraction unit 33 extracts a keyword group from the received web page content.

  The keyword display selection unit 36 displays the keyword group extracted by the native language keyword extraction unit 33 or the foreign language keyword extraction unit 34 on the touch screen 11 and prompts the user to select any keyword. When a keyword is selected by the user, the search query generation unit 37 generates a search query from the selected keyword, and transmits the search query to the search engine 200. When receiving the search result from the search engine 200, the search result display unit 38 analyzes the search result and displays it on the touch screen 11.

  The translation device receives translation source data (for example, German) from the mobile phone 1 and translates the translation source data from German to Japanese when a translated language (for example, Japanese) is designated. This is a device for transmitting translated Japanese data to the mobile phone 1. The translation device may be a device provided separately from the mobile phone 1 or a device built in the mobile phone 1. When the search engine 200 stores a large amount of data in advance and receives a keyword from the mobile phone 1, the search engine 200 extracts data related to the keyword from the stored data and stores a list of the data for the mobile phone 1. Is a device that is provided separately from the mobile phone 1.

  When a user browses a web page using the cellular phone 1 and the user is instructed to display a related page of the web page, the cellular phone 1 extracts a keyword from the web page being browsed and Collect data. A procedure when the mobile phone 1 performs the related data collection processing will be described in detail based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

  When the touch screen 11 or the operation key 14 receives an operation for instructing display of a page related to the currently displayed web page while the web page is being displayed on the touch screen 11, the web page input unit 30 is notified. That there is an instruction to display the related page.

  When there is an instruction to display the related page (S101; Yes), the language determination unit 32 determines the language of the Web page being browsed. First, the language discriminating unit 32 determines whether or not the page being browsed is described in the native language (S103). At this time, the language determination unit 32 identifies the language based on, for example, a language tag included in the web page being browsed, and when the language is set to the native language in the setting information 40, the web page being browsed Is described in the native language. For example, according to the setting information 40 shown in FIG. 4, since Japanese is the native language, if the page being viewed is written in Japanese, it is determined that it is written in the native language.

  When the page being browsed is described in the native language (S103; Yes), the native language keyword extraction unit 33 extracts the native language keyword from the web page content being browsed (S105). At this time, the native language keyword extraction unit 33 may extract words by using, for example, dictionary data of the native language stored in the storage unit 26 or by performing morphological analysis on the Web page content. Alternatively, case particles such as “ha”, “ga”, “de”, “ni”, etc. may be discriminated and the noun immediately before that may be extracted.

  When the page being browsed is not described in the native language (S103; No), the language determination unit 32 determines whether the page being browsed is described in a foreign language that does not require translation (S107). . At this time, for example, if the language identified in step S103 is set to require no translation in the setting information 40, the language discriminating unit 32 describes that the page being viewed is described in a foreign language that does not require translation. to decide. For example, according to the setting information 40 shown in FIG. 4, since Japanese and English are set to require no translation, it is determined that no translation is required when the page being viewed is written in Japanese or English, and German is used. If it is written in, it is judged that translation is necessary.

  If the page being browsed is written in a foreign language that does not require translation (S107; Yes), the foreign language keyword extraction unit 34 extracts the foreign language keyword from the web page content being browsed (S109). At this time, the foreign language keyword extraction unit 34 may extract words by, for example, using foreign language dictionary data stored in the storage unit 26 and performing morphological analysis on the Web page content.

  If the page being browsed is not described in a foreign language that does not require translation (S107; No), translation is necessary, so the translation device communication unit 35 uses the external translation device to view the web page content being browsed. Is translated (S111). At this time, the translation device communication unit 35 generates a translation query including the web page content being browsed and transmits it to the translation device, and requests the translation device to translate the web page content into the native language. The translation apparatus that has received the translation query translates the Web page content included in the translation query into the designated native language and sends it back to the mobile phone 1.

  In the communication between the mobile phone 1 and the translation device, the translation device communication unit 35 transmits and receives only character string information in the web page contents before and after translation in the background without using a web browser. By inputting the translated web page content to the native language keyword extraction unit 33, keywords are extracted by omitting reading of image data included as a reference in an HTML (HyperText Markup Language) file. Thereby, the time required for the translation process can be shortened.

  When the mobile phone 1 receives the Web page content translated into the native language from the translation device, the native language keyword extraction unit 34 extracts the native language keyword from the received native language Web page content (S105).

  When a keyword is extracted in step S105 or S109, the keyword display selection unit 36 displays the keyword on the touch screen 11 (S113). When the language of the web page being browsed is different from the language of the extracted keyword, the extracted keyword is displayed in association with the character string corresponding to the keyword on the web page being browsed. And good.

  The user can select any keyword from the displayed keywords by touching the screen of the touch screen 11. The keyword display selection unit 36 determines whether any keyword has been selected by the user (S115). When no keyword is selected (S115; No), the keyword display selection unit 36 stands by until a keyword is selected.

  When a keyword is selected (S115; Yes), the search query generation unit 37 uses the search engine 200 to search for the selected keyword (S117). At this time, the search query generation unit 37 generates a search query including the keyword selected by the user, transmits the search query to the search engine 200, and requests the search engine 200 to search for the selected keyword. Upon receiving this search query, the search engine 200 extracts data related to the keyword included in the search query and sends it back to the mobile phone 1 as a search result. When the mobile phone 1 receives a search result (URL list or Web page) from the search engine 200, the search result analysis display unit 38 displays the search result on the touch screen 11 (S119). Note that the information to be displayed as a search result may be limited to a Web page described in the native language or a list including URLs of Web pages described after the native language.

  In this way, when the mobile phone 1 is instructed to display a related page by the user while browsing the Web page, the Web page is written in the native language (for example, Japanese) or is not the native language. The search is performed after dividing into three cases: whether it is described in a language that does not require translation (for example, English) or in a language that requires translation (for example, German). When the web page being browsed is written in the native language (for example, Japanese), the cellular phone 1 extracts the native language keyword using dictionary data of the native language stored in advance, and is not the native language. Is written in a language that does not require translation (for example, English), a foreign language keyword is extracted using foreign language dictionary data stored in advance and written in a language that requires translation (for example, German). If the web page content is translated into the native language using a translation device, the native language keyword is extracted using the dictionary data of the native language stored in advance. Then, the mobile phone 1 presents the extracted keyword to the user and searches for the keyword selected by the user using the search engine 200.

  With the above-described configuration of the present invention, even if the web page being browsed is a web page written in a language that the user cannot understand, the native language is obtained by translating the web page content into the native language in the background. By extracting this keyword, the user can easily obtain native language data related to the Web page being browsed.

  If the web page being browsed is written in a language that the user cannot understand, the content of the web page itself may be translated and displayed. However, the accuracy of machine translation at present is uncomfortable for the user. Not enough to read the text. However, the accuracy of machine translation at present is sufficient to extract important keywords from Web page contents. Therefore, the mobile phone 1 can provide useful information to the user by acquiring the related page described in the native language using the keyword extracted from the Web page.

  According to the information processing apparatus (mobile phone 1) according to the present invention, even when the web page being browsed is written in a foreign language that the user cannot understand, the web page content is translated into the native language in the background. Thus, by extracting and searching the native language keyword from the web page content, it becomes possible to easily collect native language data related to the web page being browsed.

  As an explanation of the present invention, the mobile phone 1 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, but a browsing function, a Web search function, etc. Any information processing apparatus may be used as long as the information processing apparatus includes the information processing apparatus.
