Abstract

A document processing apparatus that automatically carries out a transmission operation at the time of a link selection, which selects a telephone number described in the link information without carrying out a useless operation. The link information is the additional information which is not actually displayed, like as the HTML. The document processing apparatus includes a receiver for receiving the document; a link information extractor for extracting the link information from the document a display for displaying the document based on the link information extracted by the link information extractor; a selector for selecting the link information in the document; and a link operator controller for carrying out the transmission operation to another party, when the link information selected by the selector is the telephone number information.

Claims

1. A document processing apparatus, comprising:

a receiving means for receiving a document including a telephone number information and at least one link information different from the telephone number information in the document content;

a link information extraction means for extracting the telephone number information and the link information different from the telephone number information from the document received by said receiving means, wherein said link information extraction means extracts the telephone number information and the link information different from the telephone number information in a predetermined priority;

a display means for displaying the document based on the link information extracted by said link information extraction means;

a selection means for selecting the link information in the document; and

a link operation control means which carries out a transmission operation when the link information selected by said selection means is a telephone number, wherein said transmission operation is to another party shown by the telephone number.

2. A document processing apparatus, comprising:

a receiving means for receiving a document including telephone number information and at least one link information different from the telephone number information in the document content; and

a link information extraction means for extracting the telephone number information and the link data information different from the telephone number information from the document received by said receiving means,

a link information determination means for determining link information link information according to a predetermined priority, when the link information extraction means extracts a same character row as a most suitable link in the document for the telephone number information and the link information different from the telephone number information.

3. The document processing apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising:

a display means for displaying the document based on the link information extracted by said link information extraction means;

a selection means for selecting the link information in the document; and

a link operation control means which carries out a transmission operation, when the link information selected by said selection means is a telephone number, wherein said transmission operation is to another party shown by the telephone number.

4. A document processing apparatus, comprising:

a receiving means for receiving a document including telephone number information and at least one link information different from the telephone number information in the document content; and

a link information extraction means for extracting the telephone number information and the link data information different from the telephone number information from the document received by said receiving means,

wherein the link information extraction means carries out the extraction in a predetermined priority so that extraction results of a most suitable link for the telephone number information and a most suitable link for the link information different from the telephone number information are not duplicated.

5. The document processing apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising:

a display means for displaying the document based on the link information extracted by said link information extraction means;

a selection means for selecting the link information in the document; and

a link operation control means which carries out a transmission operation, when the link information selected by said selection means is a telephone number, wherein said transmission operation is to another party shown by the telephone number.
