Abstract

There is provided a data processing device capable of easily creating a message based on a received message by the same procedure or configuration used when the message was created. Template data includes a display area and a creation area. When the data processing device displays a message from the template data, the display area is extracted and used. When the data processing device creates a message based on the template data, the creation area is extracted and used. The display area, the creation area and the message are transmitted to another device. On the reception side of the message, an operation area is extracted, and another message data can be easily created with the same operation used when the received message was created.

said message creation supporting information includes information representing a function of an external device started for editing said media data, and

said message editing/creating unit edits the media data included in said message browsing information by accessing the external device using said message creation supporting information and by using the function provided from said external device.

54. The data processing device according to claim 45, wherein

said message creation supporting information includes information designating a provider providing data or function for assisting edition of the information forming said message browsing information in the information included in said first data, and

said message editing/creating unit receives said data or said function for the edition assistance by accessing said provider according to the information designating said provider in said message creation assisting information, and performs a part or the whole of the edition of said message browsing information.

55. The data processing device according to claim 45, wherein

said first data is message data, and

said message editing/creating unit creates said second data including, as a part or the whole of said message creation supporting information, information designating a provider of the template data used creating said message data.

56. The data processing device according to claim 45, wherein

said first data is message data,

said message creation supporting information includes an ID designating the template data used creating said message data,

said data processing device further comprises a storing unit storing the obtained template data and the IDs designating said template data in a corresponding fashion, and

said message editing/creating unit reads from said storing unit said template data corresponding to the ID designating said template data in said message creation supporting information, and performs a part or the whole of the edition of said message browsing information using said read template data.

57. The data processing device according to claim 45, wherein

said first data is message data,

said message creation supporting information includes an ID designating the template data used creating said message data,

said message editing/creating unit transmits an ID designating said template data in said message creation supporting information to an external device, obtains said template data corresponding to said transmitted ID from said external device, and performs a part or the whole of the edition of said message browsing information using said obtained template data.
