A web page is displayed on a display screen by responding to a user's request(1,2). A portion selected by the user from displayed contents is captured(3,4). The captured contents and identifier information of the captured contents are stored in a memory of a terminal according to the user's selection, or the captured contents and the identifier information are transmitted through a portable Internet network(5-8,62).

Description

Method of managing web page in mobile device

1 is a flow chart of a web page management method in a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2 is a screen example of content capture.

3 is an exemplary diagram of identifier information.

The present invention relates to a method for efficiently storing and managing content of a web page displayed on a mobile terminal.

There are two ways to save the information you need while surfing the Internet: the scrap function provided by the web server and the storage function provided by the web browser. The web server's scrap function can be used only after the web page's URL is stored as a hyperlink in a specific folder of the web server. In order to use the scrap function, the web server's scrap function can be used only after registering a web folder by registering a web site.

The scrap function cannot be easily used at a glance when the user needs only some information from the web page. Because only the URL of a web page is stored as a hyperlink on the web server, in order to use it later, the web page can only be accessed by clicking the hyperlink after re-connecting to the site and verifying the membership. It is a feature that requires more effort and time to re-read the information you want to read again.

The save function of the web browser provides the function to save in the form of text or html. In the case of text storage, all text information is stored, including unnecessary banner advertisement text or hyperlinked text information produced as web pages. In the case of html saving, all information is saved as it is displayed on the screen. Therefore, when there is a limitation of a memory capacity and a small screen, such as a portable terminal, unnecessary information is stored or displayed to prevent waste of memory and quick access of a user. In addition, in order to select and store only desired text information while viewing a web page, it is inconvenient to use a copy and paste function after running another editing program.

On the other hand, the commercialization of the portable Internet has made it possible to search the Internet while on the move. However, in order to secure mobility and portability, it is impossible to overlook the limitations of LCD size, battery, and memory as PDA. If you use the existing scrap function or save function of web browser on the mobile internet, you can not overcome the memory capacity limit because all the unwanted information is stored, and you can scroll on the small LCD because it stores and displays the entire web page. There is a hassle to check each one as you go.

Although the Internet can be searched on the go with the advent of the portable Internet, there is no method for effectively storing, processing and using the searched results on the constraints of the portable Internet terminal.

In addition, when the Internet search while moving the vehicle, if the Internet connection is suddenly disconnected due to the movement of the shadow area, etc., there is an inconvenience of reconnecting.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for conveniently extracting and storing only information desired by a user when searching for information by web surfing while moving through a portable terminal.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of capturing and storing only desired information and also storing identifier information such as URL information of a corresponding web page when searching for information by web surfing while moving through a portable terminal.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a method of capturing only desired information in a web page while moving through a portable terminal and storing and editing a memo which is directly written by a user.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a method of capturing only desired information in a web page and transmitting it directly to a specific address while moving through a portable terminal.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a method of directly transmitting information captured in a web page and a memo which is directly written by a user while moving through a portable terminal to a specific address.

It is still another object of the present invention to search the Internet while moving through a portable terminal, when the Internet connection is suddenly disconnected due to movement of a shaded area, etc. It is intended to provide a way to store and manage URLs to link directly to a site.

The present invention enables the user to store, edit, and transmit only the desired information after retrieving the information by surfing the web from the portable terminal, and, in case of disconnection, connects to the one-key by using the stored URL. And it can provide convenience by overcoming the limitation of the memory and shortening the connection time.

Web page management method in a mobile terminal according to the present invention, the process of displaying the web page on the display screen in response to a user request, the process of capturing a portion selected by the user of the displayed content, and the user's selection And storing the captured content and the identifier information in a memory of the terminal or transmitting the captured content and the identifier information through a portable internet network.

Here, the identifier information in the captured content to be stored or transmitted and the identifier information is corresponding URL information or index information including storage date or storage time or storage location information or letters or numbers or voices or pictures by user input. Can be stored or transmitted automatically or manually.

The method may further include a preview process of previously displaying the file to be stored or transmitted on the screen. In addition, depending on the user's selection may include storing the entire or selective storage of the captured result. Also, depending on the identifier information, if the storage command is a new file storage command, the captured result is stored as the new file name, and if it is an update storage command based on old identifier information, the capture at a specific location of the existing file. Saved results can be saved. In addition, the captured content may be edited by handwriting input. Also, if the internet connection is suddenly lost due to the temporary saving of the URL by moving the shaded area, and it is accessible again after leaving the shaded area, it can be directly connected to the most recently searched site by one key.

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

1 is a flowchart illustrating a web page management method in a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, in the method of managing a web page in a mobile terminal, the method may include: connecting to the portable Internet (1), displaying a corresponding web page on a display screen in response to a user request (2), and displaying a user among the displayed contents. Capturing a portion selected by (4), and storing (8, 71) the captured content and its identifier information in a memory.

The capturing process may determine whether a capture command is input for selecting a portion of the displayed content (3), and display a portion of the content determined by the capture command in a form that can be distinguished from the unselected portion. have. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the captured portion may be highlighted in a specific color, displayed in inverted colors, or variously displayed in an underlined form.

In the capturing process, the capture start position and the end position may be determined based on a written symbol or a written trajectory by a pen or a finger. The portable terminal may be equipped with a touch screen capable of recognizing a pen or finger input, a touch pad, a digital pen, an optical pen / mouse, or the like. For example, you can use the pen or your finger to underline from the beginning to the end of the capture, to write a specific symbol ("or [) at the beginning of the capture, and to write (" or]) at the last position to capture. Can be.

In addition, the capture command may determine a capture start position and an end position by key input. Press the Menu key to enter the capture mode and use the up, down, left, or right keys or the joystick to move the cursor to the start position, press the Menu key or the OK key, and then use the up, down, left or right key or the joystick to end the capture. After moving to the position, press menu key or OK key again to select the part to be captured. At this time, the capture start function and the capture end function can be given to a specific key (#, *, two or more combination keys) without entering the capture mode by the menu key.

In addition, although not shown in the drawing, the capture command may be determined to select all or partially select the content included in the web page. For example, if you want to capture only the picture on the web page, if you select the picture capture function while entering the capture mode, the selection space is displayed with a list of all the picture files.

The user can check and save the selection space of the desired picture file while checking the picture file on the screen.

The user can also use the Select All menu to save the entire picture. This series of operations can be performed after entering the capture mode, or you can select the desired pictures first and save them as a file.

The capturing command in the capturing process may be determined by selecting all or part of a sentence including the keyword among contents of the web page, depending on the input keyword.

For example, if you only want to capture a picture from a web page, you can write "picture capture" by handwriting input to enter capture mode and perform the picture capture function automatically or manually.

In the case of automatic execution, all pictures can be saved automatically.In the case of manual execution, the selection space is displayed along with the list of all the picture files, and the user checks the selection space of the desired picture file with a pen while selecting the picture file on the screen. Can be stored.

The user can also use the global selection function. Also, for example, if you want to capture a sentence containing a specific character string in a web page, write "capture character" by handwriting input, and enter the capture mode to guide the user to enter the desired character string. If you enter the desired text in the pop-up text input window or the entire screen, you can automatically save all the sentences including the keyword in the web page.

In addition, all sentences including the keyword can be captured, displayed as a list, and guided to be stored selectively.

In addition, the captured result of the user may be displayed in a preview form on the screen according to the preview command (5, 51).

The storing process may include determining whether a storage command is input for storing the captured content, and storing the captured content and its identifier information by the storage command.

Here, as shown in FIG. 3, the identifier information may be corresponding URL information, storage date or storage time or storage location information, or index information including text, numbers, voice, or pictures by a user input. These identifier information can be stored automatically by preset settings or manually by input by the user.

The storage command in the determination process may be performed by a storage symbol written by a pen or a finger or a pop-up soft key input. For example, after the captured content is displayed, a storage symbol (∽ or S or storage) may be input by a pen or a finger on a touch screen or a touch pad, or by pressing a storage menu key on a pop-up softkey. When the storage function is performed as described above, the result may be displayed on the screen.

In addition, the process of performing the storage function by determining the storage command may determine whether the capture result is a whole storage command (7), and if the entire storage command is stored (8), otherwise selects some of the capture results. In operation 71, a selective storage is performed by providing a function that can be stored.

Here, in the case of full storage or selective storage by a storage command, it is possible to additionally rely on the identifier information to provide a function of managing a related document as a new file or updating an existing stored file as one. It may be.

For example, although not shown, when the storage command is executed, determining whether the storage command is a new file storage command based on the new identifier information, and if the storage command is a new file storage command, a new file name. Requesting input and storing the captured result under the new file name. That is, if it is determined that the storage command is determined, it is determined whether URL information corresponding to the currently captured result exists in the previously stored memory. If the same URL does not exist in the existing memory, it may be asked whether to save as a new file, and an input window for inputting a new file name may be provided to store the captured result as the file name.

Although not shown, when the storage command is executed, determining whether the storage file is an existing file storage command based on the old identifier information, and if the storage command is an existing file storage command, the captured result. Storing in the existing file may be performed. For example, if the same URL exists in the existing memory as the old identifier, the process of storing the captured result in a specific location of the existing file may be performed.

In another embodiment, the storage command may be operated by a separate key input or a separate handwriting symbol using the new file storage menu and the old file storage menu.

In addition, when updating to an existing file, the existing file can be read and displayed in a separate window, and a specific insertion symbol (^) can be designated by handwriting with a pen at the position where the currently captured result is to be inserted. The pen recognition processor then determines the insertion symbol and inserts the currently captured result.

The control unit controls to display the inserted and reflected result on the screen and to store the result in the memory.

Meanwhile, a process of displaying the captured result of the capturing process in a separate screen window, and a process of storing or selectively storing the captured result in whole depending on the user's selection.

For example, since the screen of the terminal does not show the entire web document at once, the user can view the web document by moving up, down, left, and right using scrolling, etc. The user selects a capture portion on the current screen and moves to the next screen. At least two capture portions may be selected, such as the next capture portion being selected. After the user has finished reading the entire web document and asks the user to display the captured results, a separate window may be provided that shows the captured results on the screen. At this time, the user can save the captured result as it is, edit it, or save it with the edited result.

As another embodiment, the captured content and its identifier information may be directly transmitted to a specific server or a specific terminal through a portable Internet network. If you write a menu symbol by pen input or select a menu key by key input while selecting the captured content to be transmitted, the transfer menu is provided on the menu screen and the desired address (email address or phone number or IP address can be included) and pen or key and input transfer command. The captured content and the corresponding identifier information may be transmitted to an address input through a portable internet network according to a transmission command.

Such a transmission method may perform the entire capture result transmission 62 and the capture result selection transmission 63 similarly to the premise storage / selective storage method described above.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, a process of displaying a corresponding web page on a display screen in response to a user request, displaying a result recognized by the handwriting input on a part of the screen, and displaying the displayed handwriting input and the web page Selecting and capturing a portion of and capturing the portion and storing the identifier and its identifier information in a memory. In addition, the process of editing the captured content by handwriting input may be further performed. The captured handwriting input portion may be stored in the form of a picture file such as a BMP file or a text file according to a user's selection. In addition, tag information indicating that the input is not a web document may be additionally provided. By the tag information, it is possible to recognize that a writing memo separate from the original web document is inserted, and the web document and the writing memo can be combined into one.

The present invention has the effect of providing a method that can effectively store, process and use the search results while performing the Internet search on the go with the advent of the portable Internet.

In particular, the capturing function of meaningful information can effectively overcome the disadvantage of the portable terminal having the limitation of memory by the selective storage / selective transmission scheme. In addition, since the URL is stored together, the shortcut function can be performed by the one key when the user exits the shadowed area after the Internet connection is disconnected from the shadowed area. In addition, since it is possible to go directly by using a URL included in a file transmitted to a server or another terminal, the use of information such as shortening the access time can be performed more easily.
