Description

How to access and search the internet using keyboard shortcuts {omitted}

The present invention aims for quick and convenient input and access by inputting a shortcut key instead of the corresponding site or URL instead of directly inputting all of the site name or URL address to search or access using the general Internet. In order to access the site or URL that the user wants, instead of inputting the address of the site or individual's e-mail address which is usually composed of registered English or Korean, the user can assign or designate a shortcut key for the site or e-mail. By providing a homepage that allows users to access or search using the shortcut keys, there is a personal homepage or a path name with a very long site name, and the URL address is very long. Phone number familiar with your ear Was to make it easier for the subject to memorize a configuration system was easy to use for beginners on the Internet

In addition, the structure of the shortcut key is mainly composed of numbers such as phone numbers, so that the representative diagram of the keyboard (Fig. 2) is mainly utilized when inputting, so that the finger operation is quick, so that the input of the text is fast. It is intended to enable easy and quick access for users who are not familiar with the keyboard.

The role of information retrieval using the Internet has become very high and has become a pattern of life.

In the retrieval of such information, precisely selected information and acquiring a lot of information in a short time have become the most important factor in using the Internet.

If you look at the concept of the Internet

The Internet is a combination of the word "inter" and "network", which means connecting several independent computer networks. Early Internet technology used only simple information to share information. As a result of research and development of the necessity for effective methods of data transfer and information sharing, a new document format called "hypertext" has emerged, resulting in the development of multimedia such as sound, image, and moving picture. Www to provide services has emerged

Therefore, in the virtual information space of the Internet, users move along the links of related documents to find information without specially remembering the location where the secret is stored because these web pages are all connected in hypertext form.

Looking at the configuration and operation of these www

Www, which attracts ordinary users to the Internet, consists of HyperText

Hover your mouse over the place you want to know more about and click on it to search for other related materials, as well as to use hyper-links, hypermedia, and more. www is a kind of internet service based on hypertext and hypermedia, and it is most used by internet users. It is written in HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and runs WWW browser program to use WWW. This searcher can retrieve the location of a document by examining the location information of a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) that provides information tailored to the needs of the user.

System of Address of the Internet

The address system of the Internet is usually defined by four words separated by dots. Each word separated by a period is called a domain, and the four words are called a domain name. do

If you want to be given such a domain name, you can register it with a domain registrar to obtain a domain name or lease a web server to an internet service provider or webhosting service provider to have your own domain. In particular, most personal homepages are created using these services, and the address of the site becomes longer.

E.g

Patent Office site name www.kipo.go.kr

Homepage by lease my.netian.com./～wjpmlee/

user.chollian.net/shinss/yuik.html

Uniform Resource Locator (URL)

A URL is a way to mark the location of any secret information on the Internet. An Internet browser opens the URL at that location and displays the document.

This URL is expressed in the form of protocol, domain name path name, file name.

http: // home.netscape.com / home / welcome.htm

protocol. Domain Name Path Name File Name

Ip adress

When information is passed from one computer to another, it needs a unique Internet address, which is called an IP address, and is given as the number of a server on the Internet that is "000.000.000.000." In order to make it easier to remember and to designate it as a domain name, a domain name is called. When a general user inputs a domain name, the host name is converted into an IP address by a DNS server (Domain Name Service).

To use the Internet, an authorized IP address must be assigned and a request must be made to an Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Therefore, users can directly enter the name of the site or URL of the site where the user wants to obtain information by connecting to the text box on the homepage (Yahoo. Lycos. It automatically takes you to another document or site by clicking.

So how do the average user enter a particular website?

1. You know the website's address so you can enter the URL

2. Via a link to an external site

3. You will drop in through the search results of the search engine.

The most common way is to know the address of the website and enter it directly into the URL and through the results of the search engine.

Abstract: Search engines are programs and systems that provide services that make it easier and faster for users to find the information they want on the Internet.

Kind is

(A). Topic by topic: A list of topics categorized according to the topic can be easily accessed when a search engine is unable to extract a particular topic or key word for the information.

(B) Keyword-type search engine: Keyword search engines can easily search for the desired information by entering keywords (search words) of information to be built by constructing homepage contents and URLs on the Internet into their own database.

Therefore, the method of searching and connecting by inputting a shortcut key according to the present invention can be said to be the closest to this keyword type search engine.

(C) Collective search engine: It is a collection of search box of various word search engines in one place, and you can use them on one screen without visiting Kaga search engine.

(D) Intelligent search engine: It does not have its own search engine and sends search terms entered to other search engines at the same time to show the search results of several search engines at the same time, but it does not have its own search engine. It is the same as the type search engine, but it can be called an artificial search engine in that it uses robots to search for information and show the results.

However, not all search engines are clearly distinguished. Thematic search engines support keyword search, and most keyword search engines provide thematic catalog services at the same time.

Therefore, in the case of starting homepage configuration with a different search engine in this paper, you can use the part that input URL address and shortcut key at the top, search field by keyword type, and provide the subject list which enables search by subject. By providing users with the efficiency of search.

In the case of the direct input method of the URL address, when the user enters the domain name, the computer converts the host name into an IP address by the DNS server and finds it, or accesses it through the IP address specified in the URL directly. It attempts to request a document from the other server, and also receives the document and displays it in the HTML format.

However, from the user's point of view, the length of the address is long, as in the case of a homepage of an individual or a company that has built a homepage using an address of an English site, a URL of a document passing through various path names, or an Internet service company. Not only can it not be remembered, but it also takes longer to operate the keyboard for input.

In addition, in case of direct input, there is a clear object for the user to find or obtain information, but due to the physiological limitations of the known or memorable address of the site, the user attempts to connect using a search engine despite some time extension.

In addition, when operating the keyboard for inputting the corresponding site or URL address, the English or Korean keys are operated with both hands in the typewriter keys shown in Fig. 2 (3). For the most part, entering an English address is very difficult and slow for users who have not been trained in professional English keyboard manipulation.

In particular, the URL address is expressed in the form of http: // domain name / path name / file name.html where the domain name is not case sensitive, but the path name and file name behind the domain name are case sensitive. Not only is it inconvenient, it is a waste of time if you mistype it.

In case of searching for information by inputting operator or wild card for related words, there are too many similar sites, so it is difficult to get back to many unnecessary sites to find the site or URL that the user really wants to find. It is

Accordingly, the inventors provide shortcuts to URLs or personal homepages that have very long site names or addresses, and provide homepages for easy access and retrieval using the shortcuts. The present invention was completed with the intention of providing a user with information by promoting various types, contents, and characteristics of various sites with shortcut keys, so that users can easily access or search the verified sites.

The present invention provides a programmatic and systemized homepage that allows each URL or e-mail address to be assigned a shortcut with its own system, which can be searched or accessed using the assigned shortcut, as well as delivery of email. It provides a homepage (starting homepage) (Fig. 1, B) that enables searching or accessing using the webpage. The structure or function of the starting homepage is a general search engine function and a hyperlink by hypertext (HyperText). Hyper-link, site link), Hyper-media (Multi-media link) and other functions, such as using a shortcut key to access or search the relevant site or URL.

Therefore, in order to access or search using a shortcut key, first register a site or URL address with the corresponding shortcut key on the start homepage so that the shortcut keys corresponding to the URL address or site address can be mutually recognized, and the address and contents of the corresponding homepage are stored in a database ( DataBase), and when a user enters a shortcut key, it recognizes the site or URL and automatically executes the link.

In other words, if you input the shortcut key into the input box of the provided homepage (Figure 1), the homepage program performs URL or site address recognition (Figure 1). Read it to find the IP address through DNS (DomainNameService) or try to connect to it through the IP address specified in the URL (Fig. 1, E).

In addition, according to the connection method (protocol) specified in the URL, the server is connected to the other server (Fig. 1, bar). The server requests the document specified in the URL, and the server transmits the document. The system receives the document (FIG. 1, G) and displays the received data format on the screen according to the HTML document format (FIG. 1, H).

If you give a shortcut to your personal email address, enter the shortcut for the email to link to the mail management window or the compose window for automatic address entry in the address entry window, and save the address in the address book as a shortcut. Was

In addition, the configuration of the shortcut keys can be configured using numbers or symbols on the numeric keypad of FIG. 2 (5). Since it is possible to input quickly, it is convenient to make a shortcut by using the numbers and symbols (/ *-+) configured in FIG.

In the configuration of the shortcut key, the symbol (-) displayed in the middle between each category-domain number-path name can be used as (*) or (/) (+), and in case of (-), -: Arithmetic expressions) and (-: symbols) can be used together, so that the user can conveniently use the numeric keys in the second part of the keyboard (2) as necessary.

Also, when entering the shortcut key, the homepage program is recognized even if the number '0' at the beginning is not entered. This is always displayed from the last digit and the remaining part is marked with '0' when the shortcut key is entered.

For example, if you want to enter a shortcut for each category (based on 3 digits)

If you enter 4 only and press Enter, the program will recognize it as 004.

If you type 56 and press Enter, the program will recognize 056.

Also, in case of domain or personal homepage number (4 digits is the default)

If you enter 4 ..... 0004

If you enter 56 ..... 0056

If you enter 123 ... 0123

If you enter 2345, it becomes ... 2345

This is also true for path names (based on two digits)

If you enter 3 ........... 03

If you enter 23 ......... 23 will be.

Therefore, if the user enters 67-378-2, the program on the home page is recognized as 063-0378-02 and executed.

This proposal assigns a shortcut key consisting of a combination of numbers or letters to substitute the URL or site name for each URL or site name, and provides a homepage for accessing the URL or site using the assigned shortcut key. It is to enable access and search using shortcut keys.

Therefore, first, create, register and provide a search homepage that can be accessed or searched using shortcut keys, and provide the search homepage. The search homepage is composed of search engines, hypertext links, and hypermedia. It was designed to expand the range of use of various users by providing search input fields by shortcut keys while configuring performance tools for using the Internet together.

Therefore, register the site or URL on this start homepage (redo 1 or b), and enter the shortcut key to replace the site or URL, so that the site and the shortcut key can be mutually recognized.

At this time, the hotkey can be given from the start homepage operator or the site registrant and the operator can specify their favorite number. By using the phone number used by themselves or the company as a hotkey, the sales effect can be expected.

In addition, the form of shortcuts has some degree of subjectivity and organizational structure, so that the efficiency of management and the user can distinguish the characteristics and characteristics of the shortcut keys in the report, and the names of the shortcut keys can be changed according to the difference of path names in the same homepage.

If you set the shortcut scheme as follows:

000-000-00

Subject domain number / personal homepage number Path name ... (Example-1)

(1) (2) (3)

This will be easier to remember according to the possible phone number configuration.

In addition, if the operator or individual of the site to be registered wants to use his / her company or personal phone number as a shortcut, it does not have to comply with the structure, and it indicates that the shortcut and the phone number are the same after promotion or advertisement (T: tentative name). By displaying, users can use the phone number and the shortcut key of the site together.

The configuration of these shortcut keys can be determined according to management or efficiency, and the configuration of configuration can be changed according to the status of the start homepage operator and the efficiency of classification.

First, in the case of the subject form, the classification is as detailed as possible, so that when the user inputs only the shortcut key for each subject, the detailed contents of the subject appear so that accurate information can be provided.

For example, suppose the topic is defined as follows (Example-2)

001-Governmental Organization .........

002-Educational Institution 027-Research Institute

003-Educational Institutions (Middle and High School) 028-Telecommunication Networks

004-Educational Institution (Elementary School) ...

005-Commercial Organizations (Construction) 222-Internet Service Organizations

006-Commercial Organizations (Chemistry) 333-Homepage

....... 378-Foreign Sites

011-Culture & Arts 777-Adults (Animation)

012-Food & Cooking 778-Adult (Video)

015 Personal Email Box ...

By subdividing and classifying and assigning shortcut keys, if only 006 is entered, a chemical company appears among commercial institutes, thus narrowing the search range of users and enabling accurate and quick searching.

The domain number can be used together with the personal home page number, and it is assigned according to the general policy. If it is assumed to be based on four digits, it can be assigned a shortcut number of 0001 -9999.

Therefore, if the digits of the shortcut keys for each theme are based on three digits, the number of 999 * 9999 = 9.989.001 million can be given, so that about 10 million shortcuts can be given.

In addition, the shortcut name of the path name allows the homepage operator to identify the number of paths that can be connected and to assign the shortcut key.

However, if registration is virtually impossible, such as a foreign homepage, the startup homepage administrator can grant a shortcut.

Looking at the present invention consisting of the above contents and configuration according to the example

First of all, if you look at how to access or search using shortcut key, if you place the mouse point in the input box where you can enter the shortcut key on the start homepage (represented in Figure 1 or B), the cursor will blink and you will be able to remember or enter the key while viewing the provided shortcut key.

For example, if you look at the URL of the KIPO

Address Shortcut

Homepage www.kipo.go.kr 481-5960-00 (T)

Companion www.kipo.go.kr/html/Hlplndex.html 481-5960-01 (T)

System Guide www.kipo.go.kr/html/Lawlndex.html 481-5960-03 (T)

In this case, the shortcut key can be seen by looking at the displayed (T) that the patent office's own representative phone is registered, and the name of the shortcut key is changed according to the path name.

The URL, site name, and shortcut number of the KIPO displayed as above are displayed.

If you entered 481-5960-03 (figure 1, c)

The shortcut recognition program of the search homepage recognizes the URL with a path of -03 at 481-5960 (Fig. 1, d), then attempts to find and access an IP address through the DNS server (Fig. 1, E). It will be connected to the request for a document to receive the document (Fig. 1, G).

At this time, the received data format is displayed on the screen according to the HTML document format (Fig. 1-A). The screen contents of KIPO 481-5960-03 appear on the screen.

If indicated, the user can also access in the above manner.

In this case, 001 is registered in the subject list belonging to the government agency as shown in (Example-2). Especially, if the user inputs 001 corresponding to the subject key when the user enters the shortcut key of the KIPO and operates Enter, 001 All government related organizations appear, and the government agencies appearing at this time show all the government agencies searched by the search engine to enable the link.

Next, look at the search and access of personal homepage

In the case of personal homepage, it can be divided into the case of renting and operating a server space of a web server provider without establishing a network and the Internet directly, and obtaining and operating an account of an Internet service company. In the former case, www.company name.com Or www.company name.co.kr, but the latter case is represented by www.Internet company name.com/～company name. Most personal homepages belong to the latter.

Therefore, the internet service company providing the personal homepage is registered in the list of 222 corresponding to the Internet service organization of the subject key to provide the shortcut key of the personal homepage and 000l corresponding to the example-1 (2) corresponding to the personal homepage number. You can assign shortcut keys for your personal homepage from to 9999.
