Abstract

A display control device stores extended UI rule information in which a condition of an operation order, an operation time, and the number of operations for permitting an input operation to an extended UI is set as a rule for controlling an input operation to the extended UI of a web system. For example, in a case where an input operation of personal information to an extended UI is detected, the display control device determines whether or not the input operation to the corresponding extended UI satisfies a condition for permitting an input operation to the corresponding extended UI set in the extended UI rule information. In a case of determining that the input operation to the corresponding extended UI does not satisfy a condition for permitting an input operation to the corresponding extended UI, the display control device restricts an input operation to an extended UI subsequent to the corresponding extended UI.

Claims (24)

1 . A display control device comprising a processor configured to execute operations comprising:

storing extended user interface (UI) rule information, the extended UI comprises a condition specifying at least one of an operation sequence, an operation time lapse, or a number of operations of the extended UI, wherein the extended UI permits an input operation to the extended UI, and the condition is set as a rule for controlling an input operation to the extended UI of a web system;

determining whether an input operation to a predetermined extended UI satisfies the condition for permitting an input operation to the corresponding extended UI in the extended UI rule information, in response to detecting the input operation to the corresponding extended UI; and

when determining that the input operation to the extended UI does not satisfy a condition for permitting an input operation to the corresponding extended UI: restricting, an input operation to an extended UI subsequent to the corresponding extended UI.

2 . The display control device according to claim 1 , the processor further configured to execute operations comprising:

setting, in the extended UI rule information, a condition of the operation sequence of the corresponding extended UI, wherein the condition permits the input operation to the extended UI based on an instruction input by a user.

3 . The display control device according to claim 1 , the processor further configured to execute operations comprising:

setting, in the extended UI rule information, a condition of the operation time lapse of the corresponding extended UI, wherein the condition permits the input operation to the extended UI based on an instruction input by a user.

4 . The display control device according to claim 1 , the processor further configured to execute operations comprising:

setting, in the extended UI rule information, a condition of the number of operations of the corresponding extended UI, wherein the condition permits the input operation to the extended UI based on an instruction input by a user.

5 . The display control device according to claim 1 , the processor further configured to execute operations comprising:

when the input operation satisfies a predetermined condition, setting, in the extended UI rule information, restriction details of the input operation to an extended UI subsequent to the corresponding extended UI based on an instruction input by a user, wherein

when the input operation does not satisfy the predetermined condition, restricting a subsequent input operation to an extended UI after the corresponding extended UI based on the extended UI rule information.

6 . The display control device according to claim 5 , wherein,

when the condition of permitting an input operation to the extended UI is not satisfied, the setting further comprises setting display details to the corresponding extended UI in the extended UI rule information based on the instruction input by the user, and

when the input operation to the corresponding extended UI does not satisfy the condition of permitting an input operation of the corresponding extended UI, the restricting further comprises displaying a display detail associated with the condition not satisfied.

7 . A method for controlling display as executed by a display control device, comprising:

when an input operation to a predetermined extended user interface (UI) is detected, determining whether or not the input operation to the corresponding extended UI satisfies a condition of permitting an input operation to the corresponding extended UI as specified in extended UI rule information, wherein the extended UI rule information comprises a rule for controlling the input operation to the extended UI of a web system, and the condition comprises at least one of:

an operation sequence, an operation time, or a number of operations of the extended UI for permitting the input operation to the extended UI; and and

restricting, in a case of determining that the input operation to the corresponding extended UI does not satisfy a condition for permitting an input operation to the corresponding extended UI, an input operation to an extended UI subsequent to the corresponding extended UI.

8 . A computer-readable non-transitory recording medium storing a computer-executable program instructions that when executed by a processor cause a computer to execute:

when an input operation to a predetermined extended user interface (UI) is detected, determining whether or not the input operation to the corresponding extended UI satisfies a condition of permitting an input operation to the corresponding extended UI as specified in extended UI rule information, wherein the extended UI rule information comprises a rule for controlling the input operation to the extended UI of a web system, and the condition comprises at least one of: an operation sequence, an operation time, or a number of operations of the extended UI for permitting the input operation to the extended UI; and

restricting, in a case of determining that the input operation to the corresponding extended UI does not satisfy the condition for permitting an input operation to the corresponding extended UI, an input operation to an extended UI subsequent to the corresponding extended UI.

9 . The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the restricting further comprises suppressing the input operation to an extended UI subsequent to the corresponding extended UI.
