Abstract

To provide an information processing terminal and information processing method capable of supplying a user with information useful for selecting link information, there is provided an information processing terminal including: a request unit configured to request an information processing device to supply layout information including a plurality of pieces of link information indicating link destinations and correlated with information regarding an object based on acquisition of the information regarding the object from the object; and a display control unit configured to generate a link list image based on the layout information acquired from the information processing device and display the generated link list image on a display screen. The display control unit acquires information from a link destination corresponding to each of the plurality of pieces of link information included in the layout information and controls a display form of the link list image displayed on the display screen based on the acquired information.

Claims

1. An information processing terminal comprising:

a request unit configured to request an information processing device to supply layout information including a plurality of pieces of link information indicating link destinations and correlated with information regarding an object based on acquisition of the information regarding the object from the object; and

a display control unit configured to generate a link list image based on the layout information acquired from the information processing device and display the generated link list image on a display screen,

wherein the display control unit acquires information from a link destination corresponding to each of the plurality of pieces of link information included in the layout information and controls a display fount of the link list image displayed on the display screen based on the acquired information.

2. The information processing terminal according to claim 1,

wherein the display control unit disposes a link image correlated with each of the plurality of pieces of link information inside the link list image in accordance with a layout indicated by the layout information, and

wherein the display control unit changes a display form of the link image corresponding to the link destination of an acquisition source according to an acquisition situation of the information from the link destination.

3. The information processing terminal according to claim 1,

wherein the display control unit further displays content of the information acquired from the link destination on the display screen.

4. The information processing terminal according to claim 3,

wherein the display control unit displays the content of the information acquired from the link destination in association with a link image corresponding to the link destination of an acquisition source.

5. The information processing terminal according to claim 3,

wherein, when any link image is selected on the display screen by a user, the display control unit displays the content of the information acquired from the link destination corresponding to the selected link image on the display screen.

6. The information processing terminal according to claim 1,

wherein the display control unit does not dispose, inside the link list image, a link image corresponding to the link information satisfying a display rejection condition decided based on a manipulation of a user of the information processing terminal among the plurality of pieces of link information included in the layout information.

7. The information processing terminal according to claim 1,

wherein the display control unit changes a display form of a link image corresponding to the link destination of the acquisition source according to a kind of the information acquired from the link destination.

8. The information processing terminal according to claim 1,

wherein the display control unit displays the link list image on the display screen in a display order of the plurality of pieces of link information indicated by the layout information.

9. The information processing terminal according to claim 1,

wherein the display control unit changes a method of displaying the information acquired from the link destination based on an attribute of a display displaying the display screen.

10. The information processing terminal according to claim 9,

wherein the attribute of the display includes a resolution of the display, and

wherein the display control unit changes an amount of information displayed on the display screen in regard to the information acquired from the link destination based on the resolution of the display.

11. The information processing terminal according to claim 1,

wherein the display control unit changes a method of displaying the information acquired from the link destination based on a display direction of the display screen.

12. The information processing terminal according to claim 1,

wherein the display control unit changes a method of displaying the information acquired from the link destination based on a display setting designated by a user.

13. The information processing terminal according to claim 1, further comprising:

an information summarization unit configured to summarize content of the information acquired from the link destination,

wherein the display control unit displays the content of the information summarized by the information summarization unit on the display screen instead of the information acquired from the link destination.

14. The information processing terminal according to claim 1, further comprising:

a transmission control unit configured to transmit information indicating a manipulation history of a user on the display screen to the information processing device.

15. The information processing terminal according to claim 14, further comprising:

an information acquisition unit configured to read information regarding an object from the object,

wherein the transmission control unit further transmits information indicating a reading history by the information acquisition unit to the information processing device.

16. An information processing method comprising:

requesting an information processing device to supply layout information including a plurality of pieces of link information indicating link destinations and correlated with information regarding an object based on acquisition of the information regarding the object from the object;

generating, by a processor, a link list image based on the layout information acquired from the information processing device and displaying the generated link list image on a display screen; and

acquiring information from a link destination corresponding to each of the plurality of pieces of link information included in the layout information and controlling a display form of the link list image displayed on the display screen based on the acquired information.

17. An information processing terminal comprising:

an information acquisition unit configured to acquire information regarding an object from the object;

a communication unit configured to communicate with an external device; and

a control unit,

wherein the control unit

requests, via the communication unit, an information processing device to supply layout information including a plurality of pieces of link information indicating link destinations and correlated with the information regarding the object acquired by the information acquisition unit,

generates a link list image based on the layout information acquired from the information processing device and displays the generated link list image on a display screen, and

acquires information from a link destination corresponding to each of the plurality of pieces of link information included in the layout information via the communication unit and controls a display form of the link list image displayed on the display screen based on the acquired information.

18. An information processing method comprising:

acquiring information regarding an object from the object;

requesting an information processing device to supply layout information including a plurality of pieces of link information indicating link destinations and correlated with the acquired information regarding the object;

generating, by a processor, a link list image based on the layout information acquired from the information processing device and displaying the generated link list image on a display screen; and

acquiring information from a link destination corresponding to each of the plurality of pieces of link information included in the layout information and controlling a display form of the link list image displayed on the display screen based on the acquired information.
