Parameter setting/storing method
First Claim
1. A parameter setting/storing method, comprising the steps of:
- storing parameters necessary for browsing of content in a storage unit while associating the parameters with location information of the content;
judging whether stored location information, which is identical with requested location information locating content for which browsing is requested, has been stored in the storage unit;
acquiring parameters that have been stored in the storage unit that are associated with stored location information which is judged to be identical with the requested location information, so as to enable a user to browse the requested content while applying acquired parameters to browsing of the requested content; and
acquiring parameters that have been stored in the storage unit that are associated with stored location information satisfying a prescribed rule with respect to the requested location information, from the storage unit, if it is judged that no location information identical with the requested location information has been stored in the storage unit, so as to enable the user to browse the requested content while applying acquired parameters to browsing of the requested content,wherein the judging steps comprising;
successively comparing each element of the domain name of the requested location information with each element of the domain name of each piece of the stored location information stored in the storage unit starting from the rightmost element; and
if all the elements of the domain name of the requested location information coincide with those of the domain name of the stored location information, successively comparing each element of the path name of the requested location information with each element of the path name of the stored location information stored in the storage unit starting from the leftmost element.

Abstract
Parameters necessary for browsing of content are stored in storage means while associating the parameters with location information of the content. When location information identical with location information of requested content has been stored in the storage means, parameters that have been stored in the storage means while being associated with the location information identical with the location information of the requested content are acquired from the storage means. When no location information identical with the location information of the requested content has been stored in the storage means, parameters that have been stored in the storage means while being associated with location information satisfying a prescribed rule are acquired from the storage means if such location information satisfying the prescribed rule has been stored in the storage means. The acquired parameters are applied to a process for the browsing of the requested content.

10. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor of a terminal device, configures the processor to perform the steps of:
-
storing parameters necessary for browsing of content in a storage unit while associating the parameters with location information of the content; judging whether stored location information, which is identical with requested location information locating content for which browsing is requested, has been stored in the storage unit; acquiring parameters that have been stored in the storage unit that are associated with stored location information which is judged to be identical with the requested location information, so as to enable a user to browse the requested content while applying acquired parameters to browsing of the requested content; and acquiring parameters that have been stored in the storage unit that are associated with stored location information satisfying a prescribed rule with respect to the requested location information, from the storage unit, if it is judged that no location information identical with the requested location information has been stored in the storage unit, so as to enable the user to browse the requested content while applying acquired parameters to browsing of the requested content, wherein the judging steps comprising; successively comparing each element of the domain name of the requested location information with each element of the domain name of each piece of the stored location information stored in the storage unit starting from the rightmost element; and if all the elements of the domain name of the requested location information coincide with those of the domain name of the stored location information, successively comparing each element of the path name of the requested location information with each element of the path name of the stored location information stored in the storage unit starting from the leftmost element.

11. A terminal device comprising:
-
a storing control unit configured to store parameters necessary for browsing of content in a storage unit while associating the parameters with location information of the content; a judging unit configured to judge whether stored location information, which is identical with requested location information locating content for which browsing is requested, has been stored in the storage unit; and a browsing control unit configured to acquire parameters that have been stored in the storage unit that are associated with stored location information which is judged to be identical with the requested location information, and configured to acquire parameters that have been stored in the storage unit that are associated with stored location information satisfying a prescribed rule with respect to the requested location information, from the storage unit, if it is judged that no location information identical with the requested location information has been stored in the storage unit, so as to enable the user to browse the requested content while applying acquired parameters to browsing of the requested content, wherein the judging unit successively compares each element of the domain name of the requested location information with each element of the domain name of each piece of the stored location information stored in the storage unit starting from the rightmost element, and if all the elements of the domain name of the requested location information coincide with those of the domain name of the stored location information, successively compares each element of the path name of the requested location information with each element of the path name of the stored location information stored in the storage unit starting from the leftmost element.
