Abstract:
1. A menu bar providing method for providing a Web page including a menu bar to an external terminal device with a computer system of which a communication network is connected with a name resolving system and an information providing system, wherein a storage of said name resolving system includes a name resolving file storing a self-domain name which is a domain name to which said information providing system belongs, and also stores an arbitrary subordinate domain name and the address of said information providing system in a correlated manner; and wherein a processor of said name resolving system executes: (1) a step for receiving the self-domain name included in a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), from an external terminal device, wherein the URL includes the self-domain name and a subordinate domain name, (2) a step for extracting, from the URL, the self-domain name with reference to the name resolving file, (3) a step for extracting, from the URL from which the extracted self-domain name is removed, a portion as the subordinate domain name, (4) a step for extracting the address of said information providing system correlated with the extracted subordinate domain name with reference to the name resolving file, and (5) a step for transmitting the extracted address of said information providing system to said external terminal device; and wherein a storage of said information providing system stores a self-domain name which is the domain name of the domain to which said information providing system belongs, a first URL for identifying a Web page on which a menu bar including a content execution request input unit is displayed, information browsing window configuration information for dividing an information browsing window into a first display area and a second display area, a first display area identifier for identifying said first display area, and a second display area identifier for identifying said second display area; and wherein a processor of said information providing system executes: (6) a step for receiving the URL from said external terminal device, (7) a step for extracting the self-domain name, from the URL, from the storage of said information providing system, (8) a step for extracting, from said received URL from which the extracted self-domain name is removed, a portion as a second URL, (9) a step for extracting the first URL, the information browsing window configuration information, the first display area identifier, and the second display area identifier from the storage of said information providing system, (10) a step for creating an information browsing window configuration file newly, storing in the information browsing window configuration file said extracted information browsing window configuration information, also storing said extracted first URL and said extracted first display area identifier in a correlated manner, and also storing said extracted second URL and said extracted second display area identifier in a correlated manner, and (11) a step for transmitting the created information browsing window configuration file to said external terminal device, wherein the processor of said information providing system is remote from the external terminal device.
