First Claim
1. A processing device connected to a network and equipped with a browsing unit that displays supplied web pages on a display unit of the processing device, the processing device comprising:
- a detection unit to communicate with the browsing unit and to detect whether a specific process is required for data input into a web page displayed by the browsing unit;
a processing unit to communicate with the detection unit and to execute specific processes on the data input into the web page responsive to a detection result by the detection unit; and
a control unit to communicate with the processing unit and to use results of the specific processes to process requests from the web page.

Abstract
The present invention pertains to technology which makes possible searching information on web pages that is in different languages with data input in one'"'"'s own language. The present invention provides a processing device in communication with the Internet, the processing device executing a read processing module (e.g., a web browser) processing web pages being supplied or provided by a server in communication with the Internet and displaying the web pages on a display unit. The data input on a web page displayed by the read processing module is examined and a determination is made whether the data input requires a specific process. Based on the result of that judgment, the specific process is performed on the input data and the results of the specific process are used in processing requests of the web page, such as processing requests to be sent to the server. The server may be a search server and the specific process may be a translation process, so that a translation process is executed on the input data and the results of the translation are used in a processing request sent to the search server.
