Abstract

The application generation apparatus of the present invention includes: determination means that determines whether a URL is input into a preset cell among a plurality of cells composing a spreadsheet displayed by executing spreadsheet software; and generation means that causes another terminal to acquire an HTML file based on URL information included in code information, and generates a parameter file for defining an application having a function of displaying a browser based on the HTML file, in a case in which the determination means determines that the URL is input.

Claims

1. An application generation apparatus, comprising:

determination means that determines whether a URL is input into a preset cell among a plurality of cells composing a spreadsheet displayed by executing spreadsheet software; and

generation means that causes another terminal to acquire an HTML file based on URL information included in code information, and generates a parameter file for defining an application having a function of displaying a browser based on the HTML file, in a case in which the determination means determines that the URL is input.

2. The application generation apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the determination means determines a character string including at least a first character string of “

http;

//”

or “

https;

//”

as the URL.

3. The application generation apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising function addition means that adds, to the application, a function of storing the URL information acquired from the code information by executing the application.

4. The application generation apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the function addition means adds a function of outputting a result of executing the application, in a format that can be stored in a spreadsheet that is displayed by executing the spreadsheet software.

5. An application generation method, comprising:

determining step of determining whether a URL is input into a preset cell among a plurality of cells composing a spreadsheet displayed by executing spreadsheet software; and

generating step of causing another terminal to acquire an HTML file based on URL information included in code information, and generating a parameter file for defining an application having a function of displaying a browser based on the HTML file, in a case in which the URL is determined to be input in the determining step.

6. A non-temporary computer readable medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute the steps of:

determining whether a URL is input into a preset cell among a plurality of cells composing a spreadsheet displayed by executing spreadsheet software; and

causing another terminal to acquire an HTML file based on URL information included in code information, and generating a parameter file for defining an application having a function of displaying a browser based on the HTML file, in a case in which the URL is determined to be input.
