A mobile communication device with a flat display of relatively large screen size, capable of displaying an HTML document, to enhance its operability. A personal information list written in HTML is present on the display. Anchor points are set to person names, phone numbers, FAX numbers and e-mail addresses in the list. Selection of these items with a pen causes their associated operations to be performed. The person names and their phone numbers of the list appear within a display window of the device with its cover closed. With respect to the anchor points other than those to the phone numbers, a special character string "KEYSKIP" is set in each start tag of the anchor points. A browser sequentially moves a focus among the anchor points in response to the rotating operation of a rotary push switch. In this processing, the browser will skip the focusing of the anchor points that has the "KEYSKIP" attribute added. A push operation of the rotary push switch with respect to the focussed anchor point will activate an automatic dialing to the phone number of the focussed anchor point. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a mobile communication device, comprising: a flat display; a display means for displaying a document including personal information in which an anchor point is set to a particular item of the personal information; a switch capable of two-way retrieve operations as well as a push operation; a focus moving means for sequentially moving, on the flat display, a focus among a plurality of anchor points in the document in a forward direction according to one of the retrieve operations of the switch and in a backward direction according to the other of the retrieve operations; a selection means for selecting a currently-focussed one of the anchor points according to the push operation of the switch; the focus moving means skipping anchor points that have a focus skipping attribute added, without focussing on those anchor points, when moving the focus among the anchor points in a forward or backward direction according to the retrieve operation of the switch.
With this arrangement, it is possible to restrict the anchor points to be focussed on in response to the two-way retrieve operations of the switch, allowing a quick movement of the focus to a target anchor point.
Therefore, the operability of the device is enhanced.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a mobile communication device, comprising a flat display; a display means for displaying on the flat display an HTML document including personal information with a particular item to which an anchor point for automatic dialing is set; a rotary push switch capable of clockwise and counter-clockwise rotating operations as well as a push operation; a focus moving means for sequentially moving, on the flat display, a focus among a plurality of anchor points in the HTML document in a forward direction according to one of the clockwise and counter-clockwise rotating operations of the rotary push switch and in a backward direction according to the other; a selection means for selecting a currently-focussed one of the anchor points according to the push operation of the rotary push switch; the focus moving means skipping anchor points to which a focus skipping attribute is added, without focussing on those anchor points, when moving the focus among the anchor points in a forward or backward direction according to the clockwise or counter-clockwise rotating operation
