The present invention relates to an internet browsing method, and more particularly, to an internet browsing method on a small screen such as a mobile communication terminal.

The mobile communication system has recently been developed to provide an internet service using a mobile communication terminal in the provision of voice-oriented services and simple text-based services. As a result, Internet browsing through mobile communication terminals has become possible, and recently, Internet browsing through mobile communication terminals such as Wi-Fi and WiMAX has become possible. have.

In general, when a user uses the Internet using a personal computer, the user navigates through various web pages to find desired information. The web pages are mainly configured to fit the screen size of a personal computer. Due to the small liquid crystal size and inconvenient input device, such as a mobile communication terminal, it is very difficult to search existing web pages.

The conventional method for browsing the Internet on a mobile terminal is to receive a website itself as it is, i.e., generate a left and right scroll, and modify the width of the website to fit a mobile phone. Can be. Both of these conventional methods generate a large amount of left and right scrolling, which is problematic in that the input device of the mobile communication terminal is inconvenient, as described above.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for browsing the Internet using zoom in and zoom out navigation functions on a small screen such as a mobile communication terminal.

A method according to an embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above object is a method for browsing the Internet in a mobile communication terminal, the process of displaying a web page at the request of the user, according to the user's preference in the web page Internet browsing in a mobile communication terminal, comprising: zooming in and out of contents, and when the focus of the content to be checked by the user is shifted, a weak zoom of the moved content. Displaying the in-state state, determining whether to select the moved content, zooming in on the moved content by a predetermined area when selecting the moved content, and The method may further include a process of checking the contents, wherein the content is adjacent to the moved content. And further comprising a process of zooming out the contents.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. It should be noted that in the following description, only parts necessary for understanding the operation and operation according to the present invention will be described, and descriptions of other parts will be omitted so as not to distract from the gist of the present invention.

According to human factors, the visible area at a time is about 4 cm in diameter based on 70 cm, which is the distance between the eyes and the screen when using the web. That is, the user thinks that he is viewing the entire page, but the actual viewing area acquires information based on a circle of 4 cm each. The attached FIG. 1 shows a general flow of eyes for viewing such a web page.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the 4cm-based visible area-oriented display is performed to more efficiently browse the Internet on a small screen of a mobile communication terminal that cannot display the entire web page. In other words, the most popular content that people see most is displayed using zoom in and zoom out methods. Before describing a method for browsing the Internet through such a method, a structure of a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

2 is a block diagram illustrating a structure of a mobile communication terminal capable of internet browsing according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the mobile communication terminal includes an input unit 110 for inputting a key to select desired content from a web page, and a control unit 120 for zooming in and out of the corresponding content according to the input key. ), A display unit 130 for displaying contents in a zoom in and zoom out state, and a storage unit 140 for storing information about contents frequently used by users. In addition, the mobile communication terminal generally includes a wireless processor 150 for transmitting and receiving contents provided from a web server (not shown), and a voice and image processor 160 for processing audio and video of the contents. Accordingly, cameras, sensors, etc. may be included.

The display unit 130 maintains a zoom-in state, that is, 4 cm, for the maximum number that can be displayed on the liquid crystal display on a web page, the most popular content that users see most on a 4 cm, and displays the remaining content in a zoom out state.

Next, a method for browsing the Internet through the mobile communication terminal having the above-described structure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

3 is a block diagram illustrating a method of displaying information on a display unit of a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The display unit 130 of the mobile communication terminal displays a 4 cm-based viewable area, such as a web page 310 of a personal computer (hereinafter, referred to as a PC), and displays contents in a zoom in and zoom out state. . That is, referring to FIG. 3, the monitor of the PC converts the various contents into the popular contents 4, 3, 9 and the less popular contents 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8 on the web page 310. It is divided into 4cm-based visible areas. Since the display unit 130 does not frequently view the unpopular contents 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8 displayed on the monitor, the display unit 130 displays the zoomed out state and zooms in the popular contents 4, 3, and 9. Maintain phosphorus (4 cm).

As described above, an operation for using the contents displayed on the display unit 130 of the mobile communication terminal as zoom in and zoom out according to people's preference will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

4 is a block diagram illustrating an operation for zooming in and zooming out according to a focus movement according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is an operation for internet browsing according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a flowchart shown.

Referring to FIG. 5, in step 510, the controller 120 of the mobile communication terminal checks a focus to which a user's eyes are fixed. For example, in the zoom-in contents 4, 3, and 9, which are popular contents, the current focus is on the content 3 as shown in the attached screen 410 of FIG. 4.

In step 520, the controller 120 checks whether there is a focus shift. If there is no focus shift, the controller 120 maintains the current state as it is in step 525 and then moves to step 520. Otherwise, in step 530, the controller 120 displays the moved content in a weak zoom-in state. For example, the moved content may be displayed in a weak zoom-in state as the content 2 as shown on the screen 420 of FIG. 4.

Then, in step 540, the control unit 120 confirms whether to select the moved content. If it is not necessary to select, the operation is terminated as it is. Otherwise, the control unit 120 moves to step 550.

In step 550, the controller 120 zooms in the moved content and zooms out adjacent content in the zoomed-in state in step 560. Then, in step 570, the controller 120 checks the moved content and ends the operation. This process is as shown on the screen 430 of FIG. 4, and when the moved content 2 is zoomed in, the adjacent contents 4 and 3 are zoomed out while being converted to a weak zoom out state.

Meanwhile, in the detailed description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described, but various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be defined not only by the scope of the following claims, but also by the equivalents of the claims.

As described above, according to the present invention, the contents of the mobile communication terminal are zoomed in and zoomed out according to people's preferences, and thus the Internet browsing can be performed more conveniently on a small screen such as a mobile communication terminal.
