Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for identifying a traffic pattern, deciding a course, or determining a traffic jam, by using a known navigation system using identified information. SOLUTION: This computer system is used for deciding an appropriate course by determining a traffic pattern and traffic jam, by using the determined traffic pattern and traffic jam, and by using the global positioning system(GPS) and a related route map calculator. A vehicle is equipped with an on-vehicle computer system adapted to determine traveling time of the vehicle for each road section and to compute the course based on this information. A distributed network can be provided wherein this information is delivered to other vehicles or can be shared with other vehicles by other methods, and similar information is received from other vehicles to generate and share experienced traffic patterns. Also, a traffic pattern can be forecast by using this information.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make selection of a hypertext link easier by displaying an auxiliary input area in response to the display of a main input area for the hypertext link. SOLUTION: One of the events processed by a browser is a screen touch event and is detected in a touch screen input process routine. In this case, three hypertext links 210, 220, and 230 are displayed in, for example, a screen display window 200 together with the hypertext document 202. The links 210, 220, and 230 have main input areas 212, 222, and 232, respectively, and a choice is made by touch input. Further, navigation buttons 280 are displayed in array as an auxiliary input area along the lower end of the display window 200 and respective navigation buttons 281 to 283 are provided corresponding to the hypertext links 210, 220, and 230. Consequently, the user is able to start the desired hypertext links 210, 220, and 230 by pressing the buttons 280.
