document not more than a predetermined size; and a sub-display (322) for displaying the scale-down
picture.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
40 words
The web document display system of claim 1, further
comprising a frame structure determiner (302) for grasping
the frame structure of the retrieved web document, in
which the frame structure of the web document is indicated
on the scale-down picture.

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
156 words
The web document display system of any preceding claim,
further comprising: a main device (300) including the web document
retriever (301) and the main display (303) attached
thereto, and the frame structure determiner (302) for
grasping the frame structure of the retrieved web
document; a sub-device (320) including the scale-down picture
generator (325) and the sub-display (322) attached
thereto, and a user inputter (321); and a communicator for allowing the main device (300) and
the sub-device (320) to communicate with each other,
thereby providing information about the frame structure
grasped by the frame structure determiner (302) to the
sub-device (320) and transferring the frame select
information inputted through the user inputter (321) to
the main device (300), wherein said sub-display (322) displays the frame
structure as provided, to thereby allow the user to select
