Markup language edit method, record medium recording browser, and print system

Abstract

To display an HTML document on a display ( 51 ), a browser interprets only display tags and ignores print tags. To interpret the tags and display the HTML document, the browser transmits a request for transferring four image files (A 1 , B 1, C 1 , and D 1 ) to a WWW server ( 40 ) and displays the image files on the display ( 51 ). When the user clicks on a print button displayed on the display ( 51 ) by the browser, the browser interprets tags used for print, transmits a request for transferring four image files (A 2, B 2, C 2, and D 2 ) to the WWW server ( 40 ), and prints the four image files on a printer ( 80 ).

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A method of editing a markup language comprising the steps of: 
 describing, in a document transferred to a client computer through a telecommunication line from a server computer, a first embedded command interpreted when the document is displayed by the client computer, the first embedded command causing the client computer to display first image data of an input image;    describing in the document a second embedded command interpreted when the document is printed by the client computer, the second embedded command causing the client computer to print second image data of the input image with a larger number of pixels than the number of pixels of the first image data of the input image; and    outputting the document with the first and second embedded commands described.    
     
     
         2 . The markup language edit method according to  claim 1  further comprising the step of describing in the document a third embedded command interpreted when the document is printed by the client computer, the third embedded command specifying a document layout.  
     
     
         3 . The markup language edit method according to  claim 2  further comprising the step of describing in the document a fourth embedded command interpreted when the document is printed by the client computer, the fourth embedded command specifying a page break.  
     
     
         4 . A record medium storing a markup language edit program for causing a computer to execute the steps of: 
 describing, in a document transferred to a client computer through a telecommunication line from a server computer, a first embedded command interpreted when the document is displayed by the client computer, the first embedded command causing the client computer to display first image data of an input image;    describing in the document a second embedded command interpreted when the document is printed by the client computer, the second embedded command for printing second image data of the input image with a larger number of pixels than the number of pixels of the first image data of the input image; and    outputting the document with the first and second embedded commands described.    
     
     
         5 . A digital still camera comprising: 
 an image data output unit for outputting image data from an input image; and    a markup language output unit for describing, in a document transferred to a client computer through a telecommunication line from a server computer, a first embedded command interpreted when the document is displayed by the client computer, the first embedded command causing the client computer to display first image data of the input image and a second embedded command interpreted when the document is printed by the client computer, the second embedded command for printing second image data of the input image with a larger number of pixels than the number of pixels of the first image data of the input image, and outputting the document with the first and second embedded commands described.    
     
     
         6 . The digital still camera according to  claim 5 , wherein the image data output units outputs the first image data and the second image data.  
     
     
         7 . The digital still camera according to  claim 5 , wherein the markup language output unit describes in the document a third embedded command interpreted when the document is printed by the client computer, the third embedded command specifying a document layout, and outputs the document with the third embedded command described.  
     
     
         8 . The digital still camera according to  claim 7  wherein the markup language output unit describes in the document a fourth embedded command interpreted when the document is printed by the client computer, the fourth embedded command specifying a page break, and outputs the document with the fourth embedded command described.  
     
     
         9 . The digital still camera according to  claim 6  further comprising an interface being connected to a communication unit for transferring the document to the server computer through the telecommunication line.  
     
     
         10 . A method of interpreting a markup language by a client computer connected through a telecommunication line to a server computer, the method comprising the steps of: 
 interpreting a first embedded command described in a document transferred from the server computer and displaying first image data of an input image when the document is displayed; and    interpreting a second embedded command described in the document and printing second image data of the input image with a larger number of pixels than the number of pixels of the first image data when the document is printed.    
     
     
         11 . The method according to  claim 10 , wherein 
 the first image data is transferred from the server computer to the client computer in the step of displaying the first image data, and    the second image data is transferred from the server computer to the client computer in the step of printing the second image data.    
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 11  further comprising the step of interpreting a third embedded command described in the document and specifying a document layout when the document is printed.  
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claim 12  further comprising the step of interpreting a fourth embedded command described in the document and specifying a page layout when the document is printed.  
     
     
         14 . A record medium storing a browser being executed in a client computer connected through a telecommunication line to a server computer, the browser for causing the client computer to execute the steps of: 
 interpreting a first embedded command described in a document transferred from the server computer and displaying first image data of an input image when the document is displayed; and    interpreting a second embedded command described in the document and printing second image data of the input image with a larger number of pixels than the number of pixels of the first image data when the document is printed.    
     
     
         15 . A print system comprising a client computer connected through a telecommunication line to a server computer and a printer for receiving print data from the client computer and printing a document, the print system comprising: 
 a display unit for interpreting a first embedded command described in a document, described in a markup language and transferred from the server computer, and displaying first image data of an input image recorded in the server computer when the document is displayed; and    a print unit for interpreting a second embedded command described in the document and printing second image data of the input image with a larger number of pixels than the number of pixels of the first image data when the document is printed.    
     
     
         16 . A server computer comprising: 
 a record unit for recording, according to a request made by a second client computer, a document described in a markup language wherein a first embedded command interpreted when the document is displayed by a first client computer, the first embedded command for causing the first client computer to display first image data of an input image, and a second embedded command interpreted when the document is printed by the first client computer, the second embedded command for printing second image data of the input image with a larger number of pixels than the number of pixels of the first image data of the input image, are described, and the image data of the input image; and    a transfer unit for transferring, according to a request made by the first client computer, the document and the image data of the input image to the first client computer through a telecommunication line.
