Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system for simplifying access to a homepage on the Internet, which can easily access a homepage from a portable terminal such as a portable telephone.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, communication such as information exchange is performed using the Internet system of a computer. In such a case, alphabets and symbols for creating a homepage and transmitting it to the Internet via a provider are provided. Is set. The user enters the address on the computer and accesses the homepage to perform a desired operation. At this time, since various functions are built in the computer, the address can be input relatively easily.

However, in the case of a portable telephone, the operation keys for inputting an address are mainly composed of numbers.
Entering alphabets and symbols that are frequently used as addresses requires a complicated conversion process, and key operations are extremely complicated. In addition, in order to simplify the process a little recently, a homepage that has simplified the e-mail address of the information provider registered on the homepage of the search site and made it easier to access by mobile phone (for example, Achara Net D-Net) ) Are scattered. However, in order for the owner of the mobile phone to access the home page of the final destination, first connect to an Internet site such as a telephone company, then enter the address of letters and symbols with complicated key operations and search After calling the home page of the site, simplified numbers are input to reach the final home page. Thus, the work procedure of the user to achieve the purpose is extremely complicated. On the other hand, when notifying the mobile phone user, the information provider first shows the homepage address of the search site and then shows the unique address of the simplified number, so a very long and complicated address become. Therefore, it is hard to remain in the memory of the user and hard to use.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a system for simplifying access to a homepage on the Internet, in which a homepage can be easily accessed from a portable terminal such as a portable telephone.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an Internet communication system in which a mobile terminal calls an Internet center and accesses a homepage of an information provider through the Internet, and a server is interposed between the mobile terminal and the Internet center. The information provider can register the simplified address of the official address in this server and operate the operation key of the mobile terminal to input the simplified address, thereby accessing the information provider's homepage. I did it.

[0006] According to the above configuration, the user of the portable terminal can easily access a desired homepage by a very simple key operation.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of an Internet homepage access simplification system. In the figure,
1 is a mobile phone, 2 is a server, 3 is an Internet center such as a telephone company, and 4 is an information provider. Each information provider 4 opens a homepage on the Internet, and has an official address.

[0008] The server 2 is interposed between the mobile phone 1 and the Internet center 3. The information provider 4 registers the simplified address in the server 2. FIG. 2 is an example of an address conversion table showing the correspondence between formal addresses and simplified addresses. Formal addresses generally consist of letters and symbols. On the other hand, the simplified address is composed of characters that facilitate key operation of the mobile phone 1, for example, only numerals or characters mainly composed of numerals. The address of the dedicated server has been simplified in advance by agreement with each telephone company. For example, * 1 is for accessing from NTT DOCOMO, * 2 is for accessing from cellular, and * 3 is for accessing from J-PHONE to each server.

[0009] The simplified address is determined when the information provider 4 applies to the server 2 for registration in the simplified system. The specific simplified address may be determined by the server 2, or may be determined by the information provider 4. In any case, the simplified address is easy to input with the operation keys of the mobile phone 1, and is easy to remember like a telephone number.
Characters that are easy to message are determined. Server 2
Software for executing an address conversion program based on the address conversion table shown in FIG.

[0010] Therefore, when a mobile phone user accesses a homepage, the same as when making a phone call,
Entering the above simplified address and pressing the send key will connect to the server 2 and then be automatically converted to the official address by the conversion system of the server 2 and the desired homepage will be displayed on the user's mobile phone screen Becomes

[0011]

As described above, according to the Internet homepage access simplification system of the present invention,
Users can easily access the homepage from their mobile devices. Also, information providers can easily notify their public of their homepage address.
