JPH11161539A - Device and system for preparing batch file (nr cassette file) for sending and receiving document recorded by document recording device for internet and intranet - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it easy to send and receive a document by selecting a necessary document out of video-recorded documents and storing all image files that the document contains and URL information on the document together at a time. SOLUTION: A URL to be included in an NR cassette file is selected to of a site map (representing a list of URLs in tree structure based upon their linkage relation). Then a mode selecting processing as to whether or not layers below the selected URL are included in the NR cassette file is performed. When layer limitation is specified, the number of layers is inputted. Then, information on the selected URL, HTML, images relating to the HTML, etc., are prepared as one file compressed as needed. When the NR cassette file is read, the stored URL is displayed on the site map, and HTML, image files relating to the HTML, etc., are prepared in a previously set storage directory.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a file creating apparatus for facilitating transfer of a document recorded from the Internet or an intranet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, documents on the Internet or an intranet are written on the WWW (World Wide Web).
Provided by the service. The documents obtained from this service are HTML (Hyper Text Mar)
kup Language), and usually includes one or more image files (GIF, JPG, etc.). A document recorded by a document recording device on the Internet or an intranet includes the HTML and one or more image files.

[0003] By the way, when trying to deliver only a desired document from a recorded document to another person, an HTM is required.
It is difficult to determine which image file is associated with L from the name. Therefore, at present, HTM
The contents of L are checked, necessary image files are known, and they are handed together.

[0004] However, such a method has a problem that it is time-consuming and wasteful.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a document recorded from the Internet or an intranet is
It is an object of the present invention to provide a file creating apparatus that can collectively transfer HTML and all image files related to the HTML together with URL information.

[0006]

A file creating apparatus according to the present invention converts a document stored on a storage device from the Internet or an intranet into HTML.
And a file creation device capable of collectively transferring all image files and the like related to the HTML together with the URL information, including means for acquiring a site map from a storage device, one or a plurality of desired site maps from the site map. It is characterized by comprising means for allowing the user to select a URL, and means for specifying a link hierarchy below the selected URL.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the overall system configuration.

This system operates on a WWW client 1 having a personal computer or the like.

A display 11, a mouse 12, and a keyboard 13 are connected to the personal computer of the WWW client 1. The personal computer of the WWW client 1 includes a CPU 10, a hard disk 14, a memory 15, and the like. Hard disk 1
4 includes an area E1 storing an OS (operating system) and an area E storing a WWW browser.
2. Applications for realizing the present invention (hereinafter referred to as
There is an area E3 where a browser support program is stored, a place (storage area) E4 where a document (recorded document) reproduced by the browser support program and the like are stored.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the internal structure of the NR cassette file.

The NR cassette file includes a plurality of pieces of URL information, HTML specified by the URL, and the HTML
L and the like are included. For example, http: // www. xaxon-net. or. j
p / index. html, and the corresponding HTML is C: \ Mirror \ www. xaxon-net. o
r. jp @ index. The image file copied from http: //www.html.html and further related to HTML is C: \ Mirror \ WWW. xaxon-net. o
r. jp @ image @ logo. gif or C: \ Mirror \ www. xaxon-net. o
r. jp @ image @ never. gif, etc., and stored in an NR cassette file. Here, C: \ Mirror is one example, and indicates an arbitrary directory.

FIG. 3 shows a procedure for creating an NR cassette file performed by the browser support program.

First, a URL to be included in an NR cassette file is selected from a site map (a list of URLs expressed in a tree based on the link relationship) (step 1).

The URL for the NR cassette file creation is
Multiple items can be selected at the same time by checking the check box on the left side of the HTML icon on the site map.

Next, a mode selection process is performed to determine whether or not the hierarchy lower than the selected URL is also included in the NR cassette file (step 2).

If it is specified that the hierarchy is to be restricted (YES in step 2), the number of layers is input (step 3).

Creation of an NR cassette file (step 4). Information on the selected URL, HTML, an image related to HTML, and the like are generated as one file. At this time, compression can be performed if necessary.

The reproduction of the NR cassette file is automatically performed. When the NR cassette file is read, the stored URL is displayed on the site map, and HTML, HTML-related image files, and the like are generated in a preset storage directory.

[0020]

According to the present invention, the document of the Internet and the intranet owned by the user A is converted into the UR of the document.
It can be easily transferred to the user B together with the L information.
