Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a flowchart illustrating main steps of a method for authoring a wireless content / site according to an embodiment of the present invention. Steps constituting the wireless content / site authoring method of FIG. 1 can be written as a program, and programs read by a user's computer from a recording medium storing such a program are executed in the user's computer, thereby performing wireless operation as shown in FIG. It constitutes a content / site authoring system.

A procedure for authoring a wireless content / site using a program for performing the wireless content / site authoring method as described above will be described. First, when the user executes the program (step 102), accepts a command (New_Card) for creating a new card, and clicks a corresponding menu to produce a new content / site in response to the command, the edit window providing unit 202 ) Generates a deck that becomes a unit that becomes a document when a source code is generated (step 104), and generates a card in the generated deck (step 106), and wirelessly performs the same as the display screen state of the actual terminal. A card in the form of a phone page edit window 302 capable of editing the content / site is provided to the user interface 204 as shown in FIG. 3 (step 108). The phone page edit window 302 is displayed in the same state as that displayed in the wireless content / site to be authored or edited, for example, the window size and the font of the font are the same as in the actual terminal where the wireless content / site is to be displayed. . The rectangular phone page edit window 302 displayed in the center of the screen is a deck, which is a unit that becomes a document when a source code is generated.

On the other hand, when one actually wants to author or build a wireless content / site, one content / site is called a project. In addition, the substructure of a project is called a doc. For convenience, a project created by a program for performing a wireless content / site authoring method according to the present invention called a mobile studio is called msp (Mobile Studio Project), and a document created by the program is called msd (Mobile Studio Document). It has the structure msp> msd> deck> card. In addition, the WML (Wireless Internet Markup Language) is classified into a "deck" of a higher concept and a "card" belonging to a lower concept. The card is a unit corresponding to one phone screen. The part written homepage 1 corresponds to the deck. In this embodiment, the deck is shown as an example. You can also create multiple cards inside the deck.

First, select "New Program" from the selection menu given on the menu bar and enter the project name 306. The project name and the document name are input from the user through the user interface 204. In the present embodiment, "Uniwis" is input as the project name from the user, and "Homepage 1" is input as the document name. That is, the deck name 304 is "home page 1" and the card name is "Card 1".

Meanwhile, three icons are displayed in the portion referred to as 310 at the upper left of FIG. 3. The leftmost icon corresponds to the new deck creation and the center icon corresponds to the new card creation. Since the deck and card in the center of the screen are eventually displayed on the actual terminal, the project (msp) and the deck (msd) actually perform some kind of file management function.

Now, let's explain the process of actually creating content. When you create a new deck, it is created with one card by default. If you click on the new card icon while the deck is clicked, another card is created inside the deck. Next, use your mouse to click in the window of the card with your mouse, and the cursor will appear. As with the word processor, you can key in the desired content and type it in. It is also possible to insert an image file into the phone page edit window. To insert an image file into the phone page edit window, the user accepts selection commands of "input" and "picture" from the menu bar, receives information of the picture file to be inserted, and then displays the selected picture file in the form that will be displayed on the actual terminal. It is displayed in the edit window. This insertion function can also be applied to a table.

Next, the link of the screens will be described. Currently, a simple wireless content / site typically consists of about 50 phone pages. For example, one wireless site is made up of about 50 cards. 4 shows an example of a screen for a link operation. Referring to Fig. 4, in order to link each card, i.e., a phone page, a program for carrying out the method according to the present invention provides an icon referred to by reference numeral "402" and called "insert selection text". . First, in order to make a link, a user clicks in the upper card with a mouse to move the cursor, and when the insert selection icon 402 is pressed, a circle 404 is formed in the window. If you enter the content after this circle 404, you can link to the back end, that is, the lower phone window or the lower phone page. As a result, a process of inputting wireless content including a link to a phone page or phone window is performed (step 110).

Looking at the card in the left deck (homepage 1) in Figure 4, it can be seen that there is a circle 404 in the front of the company introduction / product introduction / CA. This sign indicates that there is a link to the back end (lower phone window / phone page). In FIG. 4, when the user double-clicks "o About Us", the property window 406 is displayed on the screen, and when the user double-clicks the property value next to the property 408 called onpick, the decks and cards created so far are displayed. It is all displayed. At this time, when the user selects a desired deck or card, the link relationship is displayed on the screen as shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 5, the link relationship can be easily identified. That is, the link relationship of cards called "Company Introduction" and "Product Description" in the deck 502 is displayed on one screen using lines 508 and 510, respectively.

Next, the conversion unit 204 converts the content inputted into the phone page edit window into a source code suitable for a wireless format (step 112). The storage unit 206 stores source codes to be converted. Thus, the method according to the present invention provides a function of confirming that the created content is actually converted into a markup language (WML, HDML, mHTML, cHTML, etc.) that can be used by each wireless Internet network operator with a source view function. do. For example, when the user selects the "View Source" menu, the converted source code (Converted_Code) is displayed to the user through the user interface 204. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the converted source code is displayed to the user by using the source view window 602. Next, when the user clicks Create File / Content in the menu bar, the content is made of the markup language (WML, mHTML, etc.) of the wireless format desired by the user. The created content is sent to the content providing server, that is, the web server when the user clicks Send File / Content on the menu bar (step 114) to complete the site construction.

According to the wireless content / site authoring method as described above, it is possible to edit while checking the structure of the entire content at a glance. In other words, in the wireless content / site authoring method based on the existing tree structure, if the user wants to edit, select the card or deck on the left tree structure of the screen and modify it, and the result is displayed again through the preview screen. Is displayed in the part. However, in the case of a program called mobile studio to which the present invention is applied, if you want to edit under a situation where the entire structure is visible, the deck or card can be edited immediately after double-clicking. In addition, the entire structure can be printed directly.

According to the method described above, if the above method is applied to the wireless content / site authoring tool, the editing is performed directly on the display screen of the actual terminal, for example, in programs such as Hangul ™ or Micro Soft Office ™. It can provide a user interface for working in a WYSIWYG environment.

In addition, the wireless content / site authoring method according to the present invention as described above can be written as a program executed in a personal or server-class computer. Program codes and code segments constituting the program can be easily inferred by computer programmers in the art. The program may also be stored in a computer readable recording medium. The recording medium includes a magnetic recording medium, an optical recording medium, and a propagation medium.

As described above, according to the present invention, when authoring and building for a wireless content or a wireless Internet site, the user can easily use it under a perfect WYSIWYG environment.
