Abstract: A network device comprises a Web service provider unit. In order to provide a client in a network with a service to display a list of multiple images stored in a predetermined storage area, the client having a function as a Web browser, the Web service provider unit sends the client in response to a request from the client a markup language file described in a predetermined markup language. The Web service provider unit includes a layer configuration unit and a Web program generator. The layer configuration unit configures as an element included in the markup language file at least one layer having a visibility attribute that defines whether or not the layer will be displayed on the client and assigns each of the multiple images to one of the layer. The Web program generator generates a Web program that operates on the client and sends the Web program to the client.

Abstract: A network device comprises a Web service provider. In order to cause a client having a function as a Web browser in a network to display a series of multiple pictures, the Web service provider sends the client in response to a request from the client a markup language file described in a predetermined markup language. The markup language file includes as elements thereof a plurality of layers corresponding respectively to the series of multiple pictures. The layer has a visibility attribute that defines whether or not the layer will be displayed on the client. The Web service provider includes a Web program generator that generates a Web program that operates on the client and appends the Web program to the markup language file. The Web program causes the client to implement a first function whereby the visibility attributes of the plurality of layers are modified to switch the picture displayed on the client without communicating with the Web service provider.
