Abstract

An information processor includes a keyword registration means for accepting an input of a keyword composed of a predetermined character string and storing the accepted keyword in a storage device; and a content display means for displaying externally acquired content on a display device. The content display means is configured to display the content on the display device by replacing a character string in a preset range containing the keyword with other display data if the keyword stored in the storage device exists in character information contained in the content.

Claims

1. An information processor comprising:

a keyword registration unit for accepting an input of a keyword comprising a predetermined character string and storing the accepted keyword in a storage device; and

a content display unit for displaying externally acquired content on a display device, wherein

the content display unit displays the content on the display device by replacing a character string in a preset range containing the keyword with other display data if the keyword stored in the storage device exists in character information contained in the content.

2. The information processor according to claim 1, wherein

the keyword registration unit accepts an input of period information inputted together with the keyword, and associatedly stores the keyword and the period information in the storage device, and

the content display unit compares a period indicated by the period information stored in the storage device associatedly with the keyword existing in the character information contained in the content, and current time, and displays the content in its present form on the display device according to a comparison result.

3. The information processor according to claim 1, wherein

the keyword registration unit accepts an input of valid period information indicating a period during which the keyword is valid, which is inputted together with the keyword, and associatedly stores the keyword and the valid period information in the storage device, and

the content display unit acquires current time information indicating current time;

compares a valid period indicated by the valid period information stored in the storage device associatedly with the keyword existing in the character information contained in the content, and current time indicated by the current time information; and

displays the content on the display device by replacing a character string in a preset range containing the keyword with other display data if the current time is within the valid period, whereas displays the content in its present form on the display device if the current time is beyond the valid period.

4. The information processor according to claim 1, wherein the content display unit replaces a character string in a range of a sentence described in an identical paragraph containing the keyword, with other display data.

5. The information processor according to claim 1, wherein the content display unit replaces a character string in a range to which address information identical to address information set to the keyword existing in the content is set, with other display data.

6. The information processor according to claim 1, wherein the content display unit replaces a character string in a preset range containing the keyword with a predetermined symbol.

7. A computer-readable medium storing a computer program comprising instructions for causing an information processor to implement:

a keyword registration unit for accepting an input of a keyword comprising a predetermined character string and storing the accepted keyword in a storage device; and

a content display unit for displaying externally acquired content on a display device, wherein

the content display unit displays the content on the display device by replacing a character string in a preset range containing the keyword with other display data if the keyword stored in the storage device exists in character information contained in the content.

8. The computer-readable medium storing the computer program according to claim 7, wherein

the keyword registration unit accepts an input of period information inputted together with the keyword, and associatedly stores the keyword and the period information in the storage device, and

the content display unit compares a period indicated by the period information stored in the storage device associatedly with the keyword existing in the character information contained in the content, and current time;

and displays the content in its present form on the display device according to a comparison result.

9. The computer-readable medium storing the computer program according to claim 7, wherein

the keyword registration unit accept an input of valid period information indicating a period during which the keyword is valid, which is inputted together with the keyword, and associatedly stores the keyword and the valid period information in the storage device, and

the content display unit acquires current time information indicating current time;

compares a valid period indicated by the valid period information stored in the storage device associatedly with the keyword existing in character information contained in the content, and current time indicated by the current time information; and

displays the content on the display device by replacing a character string in a preset range containing the keyword with other display data if the current time is within the valid period, whereas displays the content in its present form on the display device if the current time is beyond the valid period.

10. A method of processing information comprising;

accepting an input of a keyword comprising a predetermined character string and storing the accepted keyword in a storage device; and

displaying externally acquired content on a display device, wherein

when displaying the content, displaying the content on the display device by replacing a character string in a preset range containing the keyword with other display data if the keyword stored in the storage device exists in character information contained in the content.

11. The method of processing information according to claim 10, wherein

when storing the keyword, accepting an input of period information inputted together with the keyword, and associatedly storing the keyword and the period information in the storage device;

and

when displaying the content, comparing a period indicated by the period information stored in the storage device associatedly with the keyword existing in the character information contained in the content, and current time; and

displaying the content in its present form on the display device according to a comparison result.

12. The method of processing information according to claim 10, wherein

when storing the keyword, accepting an input of valid period information indicating a period during which the keyword is valid, which is inputted together with the keyword, and associatedly storing the keyword and the valid period information in the storage device;

and

when displaying the content, acquiring current time information indicating current time;

comparing a valid period indicated by the valid period information stored in the storage device associatedly with the keyword existing in character information contained in the content, and current time indicated by the current time information; and

displaying the content on the display device by replacing a character string in a preset range containing the keyword with other display data if the current time is within the valid period, whereas displaying the content in its present form on the display device if the current time is beyond the valid period.
