Dividing a large input page into a plurality of smaller input pages to provide easier use of a terminal with a small screen
First Claim
1. An information terminal which displays input pages downloaded from a server via a network, and which transmits, using the network, information entered into the input pages by a user, said information terminal comprising:
- a page display section for displaying a plurality of input pages using a browser executed by the information terminal;
an input information storage section for storing a plurality of input parameters entered by a user into more than one of the input pages;
an input information transmission section for transmitting the plurality of input parameters in response to an instruction; and
a page reception section for receiving the input pages and for associating the input pages with package identification information, wherein the input pages enable a user to enter the plurality of input parameters, and further wherein the input information transmission section combines the input parameters entered into the input pages of a package and transmits the combined input parameters to the server.

Abstract
In a terminal with a display screen that is too small to accept a required input in its entirety, a user is enabled to perform the input without intricate operation. The terminal displays input pages downloaded from a server via a network, and transmits input information entered into the pages by the user. The terminal comprises a page display section, which displays a plurality of input pages using a browser executed on the terminal, an input information storage section, which stores a plurality of input parameters entered into more than one of the input pages, and an input information transmission section, which combines the input parameters and transmits the combination to the server in response to an instruction.
