Abstract

An information displaying device 1 reads and analyzes each screen information defined as information showing a predetermined screen, and displays a screen for each screen information. An analyzed information managing unit 5 stores and manages analyzed displaying information which is displaying information after analysis. A reading unit 2 reads the screen information. An analyzing unit 3 analyzes the screen information read and outputs analyzed result including specifying information specifying the displaying information. A displaying format determining unit 7 inputs the analyzed result, asks the analyzed information managing unit 5 to obtain the analyzed displaying information of the displaying information specified by the specifying information, and when the analyzed displaying information is obtained, determines a displaying format of the screen based on the analyzed displaying information and analyzed result inputted from the analyzing unit 3. An information outputting unit 8 displays the screen according to the displaying format determined.
