In addition, the display unit 110 visually provides a user with various information such as images, documents, and moving pictures executed in the electronic device. The display unit 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention may provide a screen on which a web page and a keypad are displayed to a user. In the case of displaying a keypad that performs a UL linkage function according to an embodiment of the present invention, the display unit 110 is a representative value of UL mapped to a portion of an area in which each key is displayed on the keypad (eg, web page name). Can be displayed. The UL representative value may be automatically set or may be input according to a user's setting. In addition, when performing a preset type of touch input (eg, long touch) on a screen on which a keypad is displayed, the display unit 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention displays a pop-up menu displaying the types of interlockable ULs. I can. In the pop-up menu, not only the type of UL mapped to the selected key, but also an umlaut corresponding to the key, a special character assigned to the key, a menu for modifying the UL registered to the key, a cancel menu, and the like may be displayed. In addition, the display unit 110 may display a registration button allowing the user to register the UL to the key when there is no ULL mapped to the selected key. However, the situation in which the registration button is displayed is not limited when there is no ULL mapped to the selected key. For example, even in a situation in which several ULLs are registered, a registration button may be displayed in a pop-up menu so that additional ULLs can be registered.

The touch sensor 120 is a device for sensing a user's touch input. The touch sensor 120 may be driven by a method such as a capacitive overlay, a resistive overlay, an infrared beam, an electromagnetic induction, or the like. In addition to the above method, any type of method capable of sensing a contact or pressure of an object may be used for the touch sensor 120. The touch sensor 120 may detect the presence or absence of a user's touch input and a location of a point where the touch has occurred, and transmit the corresponding information to the controller 150. The touch sensor 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention may sense a user's touch selecting a specific key of a keypad displayed on a screen. In particular, the touch sensor 120 may detect a touch input (eg, long touch, drag, etc.) for an arbitrary key on the keypad. In addition, in order to check whether the touch input is a preset type of touch, an electrical signal generated when the touch is touched may be transmitted to the controller 150.

The storage unit 130 serves to store programs and data necessary for the operation of the electronic device. The storage unit 130 according to an embodiment of the present invention may store data (eg, a web page address) related to a moving operation of a web page when a specific input is made on a keypad in the electronic device. In particular, the storage unit 130 may include URL mapping data 131 which is URL information mapped to a specific key. The UL mapping data 131 may include a list of ULs assigned to an arbitrary key on a keypad, a representative value of the UL, and the like.

The wireless communication unit 140 includes a radio frequency transmitter for up-converting and amplifying a frequency of a transmitted signal, and a radio frequency receiving unit for low-noise amplifying and down-converting a frequency of a received signal. The wireless communication unit 140 according to an embodiment of the present invention may perform communication with a server to collect data necessary for displaying and moving a web page in the electronic device.

The controller 150 controls the overall operation of the electronic device. The controller 150 according to an embodiment of the present invention may control the display unit 110 to display an Internet page corresponding to a specific UL and a keypad for performing a UL linking function. Further, the controller 150 may determine whether a specific key is touched on the keypad and a type of touch generated on the keypad, based on a signal transmitted from the touch sensor 120. In addition, in response to the operation of selecting a specific key on the keypad, the control unit 150 supports to display the type of the mapped URL by popping up a pop-up menu, and when a specific URL in the pop-up menu is selected, the selected URL screen You can control it to move.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a sequence of operations using a keypad in an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the control unit 150 of the electronic device may detect that an address bar of an arbitrary web page is selected at 205 through a signal input from the touch sensor 120. The control unit 150 may distinguish the properties of the input field by the application developer. The input field is an area in which text can be input, and when the input field is selected, the controller 150 may perform an operation of classifying a property of the input field. Accordingly, the control unit 150 can determine whether the selected input field is an Internet address window. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the controller 150 may detect a case in which an input field is an email input window in addition to the Internet address window.

As described above, in response to the selection of the address bar at 210, the electronic device may display a keypad for performing a UL linking function. In the keypad for performing the UL linkage function, the representative value of UL is written in a partial area of each key (eg, the lower or upper part of the corresponding character of each key) and a registration button is displayed at the top of the keypad area. And can be distinguished. In addition, the control unit 150 may detect whether a specific key is selected from the keypad at 215. As a method of selecting the specific key, for example, a method of performing a preset type of touch input may be used. The preset type of touch input may correspond to, for example, a drag and a long touch, and this may be changed to a different type of touch gesture in another embodiment of the present invention. The controller 150 performs a preset type of touch input. Upon detection, it may be determined that the key at the point where the touch is generated is selected. In this case, when the control unit 150 does not detect the selection of a specific key in the keypad, it may display the keypad again at 210. On the other hand, when the controller 150 detects the selection of the specific key at 215, the controller 150 may display a pop-up menu including a list of ULs mapped to the specific key at 220. The controller 150 further maps a special character assigned to a key selected in a pop-up menu in 220, a corresponding umlaut, a UL type mapped to the key, a button for modifying the UL mapped to the key, and additionally maps the UL to the key. The display may be supported by including at least one of a registration button and a cancel button to be displayed. In a state in which the pop-up menu is displayed, the controller 150 may check whether a specific UL in the pop-up menu is selected at 225. In this case, the selection of an item in the pop-up menu may be made at a point where a touch generated by the specific key is released. When a specific ULL is selected in 225, the controller 150 may perform an operation of moving to the corresponding ULL in 245.

3 to 4B may be referred to for a description of an operation when a preset type of touch input is generated in the specific key.

3 is a diagram illustrating a keypad display process for performing a UL linkage function according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, 310 of FIG. 3 shows a web page being displayed on the display unit 110 of the electronic device, and a user selecting the address bar 311 shown on the display unit 110. Accordingly, in 315, it is shown that the keypad 316 performing the UL linkage function is displayed on the display unit 110. Looking at the keypad 316 shown at 315, it can be seen that the name of the web site is displayed at the bottom of the area where the alphabet is displayed on a specific key. When the controller 150 detects that the selected input field is the Internet address bar 311, the keypad 316 performing a UL link function may be displayed on the screen. In addition, the keypad 316 performing the UL linkage function may display a representative value of the mapped ULL (the name of the ULL) in a partial area of each key in which the mapped ULL exists. When there are several ULLs mapped to a specific key, a priority may be set according to a frequency of use or a user's setting, and a representative value of ULL having a high priority may be displayed on the keypad. Also, the order of display in the pop-up menu may follow the priority.

4A and 4B are diagrams illustrating a process of moving a UL according to an embodiment of the present invention.

4A and 4B illustrate a movement to a specific UL using the keypad 316 performing a UL linkage function. 405 of FIG. 4A shows that a pop-up menu 317 is displayed as a result of a long touch of an arbitrary key on the keypad 316 performing a UL linking function, and a specific display displayed on the pop-up menu 317 by dragging the touch to the right It shows the appearance of choosing ULL. Further, reference numeral 410 shows a state in which the screen is moved to the selected UL. In this way, when a certain key is long-touched on the keypad 316 that performs the UL linkage function, a pop-up menu 317 displaying the type of UL registered to the key appears, and a specific UL L is selected from the pop-up menu 317 If so, it can be moved to the selected ULL.

415 of FIG. 4B illustrates a situation in which the pop-up menu 317 is displayed as a result of dragging a specific key downward while the keypad 316 performing the UL linkage function is displayed. In this way, the touch operation for calling the pop-up menu 317 may include a drag performed in a specific direction. However, this is only an example, and various touch gestures may be used to call a pop-up menu 317. Further, reference numeral 420 shows a state in which the screen is moved to the UL as a result of selecting a specific UL from the pop-up menu 317. Similarly, when the touch is moved downward and the pop-up menu 317 is displayed, the selected item may be selected when the touch is released, and the selection position may be adjusted by dragging in the left and right directions. .

Meanwhile, when a specific ULL in the pop-up menu is not selected in 225 of FIG. 2, the controller 150 may check whether a button for registering a new ULL is selected in 230. The button for registering the UL may be used by selecting a registration button in the pop-up menu. In another embodiment, the UL registration button may be displayed on a pop-up menu only when there is no UL mapped to the selected key. If a new UL registration is not requested, the controller 150 may perform a process of displaying a pop-up menu again at 220. However, when a new UL registration is requested, the controller 150 may register the UL to the key at 235. In this case, the controller 150 may display a registration page for UL registration on the display unit 110. Further, the ULL may be mapped to a specific key through the process of designating the ULL and the representative value of the ULL. When the UL registration is performed in this way, the control unit 150 may check whether the keypad display is terminated in step 240. If the display of the keypad is not finished, the controller 150 may perform an operation of continuously displaying the keypad in step 210. On the other hand, when the keypad display ends, the process of FIG. 2 ends.

Hereinafter, a process of registering to map a UL to a specific key will be described with reference to FIGS. 5A to 6.

5A and 5B are diagrams illustrating a method of registering UL on a keypad according to an embodiment of the present invention. 5C is a diagram illustrating a process of correcting a mapped ULL according to an embodiment of the present invention. 5D is a diagram illustrating a display of a sub URL in a pop-up menu according to an embodiment of the present invention. 5E is a diagram illustrating a keypad showing a plurality of UL registration states according to an embodiment of the present invention. 6 is a diagram illustrating a method of registering a UL on a keypad according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, FIGS. 5A and 5B illustrate a method of registering a UL using a pop-up menu displayed by selecting a specific key on a keypad. First, referring to 520, a pop-up menu displayed by selecting a specific key on the display unit 110 is shown. The pop-up menu 521 may display':', which is a special character assigned to the selected'g' key, and includes a registration button for registering UL and a cancel button for ending the display of the pop-up menu 521. Can be included. In addition, the registration button displayed on the pop-up menu 521 may be displayed only when the UL mapped to the key selected on the keypad does not exist. In addition, in 520, the registration button of the pop-up menu is selected by the user. In addition, at 525, the UL registration page 526 is displayed on the display unit 110 according to the selection of the registration button. Items supported by the UL registration page 526 may include a shortcut key 527, a ULL 528, a UL representative value (web site name) 529, and whether or not to be displayed on a keypad. In addition, the name of the item is only temporarily designated to describe the attribute, and the name of the item may be changed in the actual UL registration page. And, as shown in FIG. 5A, the value set in the UL 528 item of the UL registration page 526 may be the UL displayed in the keypad display state. In other words, in the URL item 528 of the UL registration page 526 shown in 525, a web page address displayed in the address bar 311 in 520 may be previously input. In addition, the initial value selected for the shortcut item 527 in the UL registration page 526 may be set to a key (eg,'g') selected to display a pop-up menu. In addition, the shortcut item 527 may support a selection list so that it can be changed to another key by user selection. In addition, the value initially input in the item 529 of the representative value (web site name) of UL may be a word extracted from UL. For example, the representative value of UL is the main domain name extracted from the UL (it is determined to be the most characteristic value in the actual domain name, so the name'main domain name' is used below, and the main domain name is, for example,'WWW. It can be selected as'.' or'http://'). Alternatively, for UL, in which the representative value of UL is previously stored (for example, a representative value of UL for a specific UL with high recognition may be previously stored in a native language name), the representative value of UL may be extracted from the stored database. When the registration process is completed after the item has been input and modified, a UL representative value mapped to the corresponding key 531 may be displayed as shown in 530 of FIG. 5B. When the pop-up menu 536 is displayed by selecting the key again, it can be confirmed that the mapped ULL has been added to the pop-up menu 536 as shown in 535.

5C shows a process of modifying a UL registered in a specific key. Reference numeral 540 of FIG. 5C shows a screen in which a pop-up menu 536 is displayed by performing a preset type of touch on the'g' key. The pop-up menu 536 includes a button for moving to a UL previously registered in the selected'g' key, and a button for modifying UL information registered in the selected key. In addition, at 545, it is shown that the modification page 550 is displayed as the user selects the modification button of the pop-up menu 536. The modification page 550 may include an address of a previously registered UL and a modification button 553 for modifying the UL information. In addition, when there are multiple registered URLs, a selection box 551 may also be included in the modification page 550 so that the user can select the UL displayed on the keypad. In addition, the additional registration 552 button may be selected when a user wants to register another UL in addition to the UL registered in the key, and when selected, it may be moved to the UL registration page.

In the pop-up menu, a sub-URL (eg, a sub-category of a specific site) that is subordinate to one UI may also be displayed. FIG. 5D shows a pop-up menu when several ULLs and sub ULLs are registered in one key. 5C shows web page names such as'navar' and'date' including registration buttons are displayed in the pop-up menu 540 displayed when the'n' key is pressed, and a subcategory of the web site called'navar' 'Navar securities' and'navar mail' existing as'navar' may be displayed at the top of the'navar' button.

Previously, it has been explained that multiple ULLs can be registered in one key. In the above-described embodiment, in the keypad display, one UL representative value (web page name) with a high priority among registered multiple ULLs may be displayed on the keypad. In addition, when several ULLs select a specific key registered and then drag, the page displayed on the screen may be moved to the ULL having a high priority written in the key. In addition, the priority may be set according to the number of accesses, registration order, and user designation, and an item for setting the priority ULL may be added to the UL registration page. Further, referring to FIG. 5E, a method of displaying a key in which a UL is registered is illustrated as another embodiment. 5E shows only areas of'f','g', and'h' on the keypad. In addition, FIG. 5D shows a state in which the character string'Gogol' is written on the'g' key so that it can be seen that the web page'Gogol' is mapped to the'g' key. In addition, the number (563) '4' is written together on the'g' key, which is a method of notifying that four ULLs are registered, including ULL, which has a representative value of'Gogol' on the'g' key. An example could be. In addition, although not shown, as a method of displaying the registered ULL, a method in which an image of the ULL registered in one area of the key (eg, a unique mark of a corresponding web site) is displayed together in a small size may be used.

In addition, as a method of registering the UL on the keypad 316, a method of using a registration button 606 that exists separately on the keypad 316 may be used. Referring to FIG. 6, first at 605, a keypad 316 performing a UL linkage function may be displayed. Although described above, in order to display the keypad 316 performing the UL linkage function, the user may perform an operation of selecting an address bar on a web page. When the address bar is selected, as shown in 605, a keypad 316 performing a UL link function may be displayed, and a registration button 606 for mapping a UL to an arbitrary key is provided in one area of the keypad. Can exist. When the registration button 606 in one area of the keypad is selected, the user may move to the UL registration page 526 as shown in 610. As described above, when a user selects a registration button in an area of the keypad and moves to the UL registration page without selecting a specific key, an initial value may not be assigned to the shortcut key 527. In 610, it is shown that the shortcut item 527 of the UL registration page 526 is set to'l', and the value of'www.yahoe.com' is input in the UL item 528. In the UL item 528, a UL displayed on the screen when the registration button 606 is pressed may be set. In addition, in the UL representative value item 529, a UL representative value extracted from the UL may be initially set. The UL representative value may be extracted as the first word after'www' in UL, or may be extracted from the UL representative value in a previously stored database. The pre-stored URL representative value may be assigned a name in a native language only to specific URLs with high recognition. In 610, it is shown that'yahoe' is input in the URL representative value term (529). In addition, the value can be changed, and a keypad supporting input on the UL registration page 526 may be displayed as a general keypad 611 to which the UL is not mapped. In addition, when the UL registration is performed by pressing the OK button, the state of the keypad may be changed as shown in 615. Looking at the'l' key on the keypad at 615, it can be seen that'yahoe', which is a representative value of the ULL registered at 610, is displayed at the bottom of the area where the alphabet is written. In this way, a registration button 606 displayed on an area of the keypad may be used as a method of registering the UL to a specific key.

In the UL registration page 526, an item for registering a UL using a bookmark may be added. Alternatively, you can perform UL registration using bookmarks through other routes. Referring to FIG. 7 for an example of a method of registering UL to a specific key using the bookmark. 7 is a diagram illustrating a UL registration method using a bookmark according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown at 710 of FIG. 7, the UL registration page 722 may be displayed according to another embodiment. In the UL registration page 722, a bookmark import button 721 may be included. When the bookmark import button 721 is selected, a screen such as 720 may be displayed.

As shown in 720 of FIG. 7, by selecting the selection box 701, the user can select a UL to be linked to a specific key from a previously stored bookmark list. In addition, a key to be assigned as an interlocking function according to a predetermined rule for each UL may be previously designated in the shortcut menu 705. The schedule rule may be, for example, a rule in which an alphabet located first after excluding'www' in ULL or an alphabet located after the first dot ('.') below'http://' is designated as an assignment key. In addition, the user can change the initially assigned key to a desired key and designate it. When the process of selecting a bookmark list to be imported and designating an assignment key is completed, the user may perform an operation of mapping the bookmark to the assignment key by selecting a “fetch bookmark” button 703.

Although not shown in the drawing, in a similar way, the user can set the linking function by mapping the Internet page history (recording the access order) to a specific key bundle (eg, numeric keys) in order. At this time, as the history list stored in the browser is updated, the history mapped to the key may be updated together, and the update period may be set by the user.

Meanwhile, the embodiments of the present invention as described above may be implemented in the form of program commands that can be executed through various computer means and recorded in a computer-readable recording medium.
