In addition, the meta tag is a tag for providing information about a web page to a browser, and can indicate keywords of its own document. The basic structure is as follows:

<meta http-equiv = "" content = "" name = "">

http-equiv = "item name": Set the item name to send information to http

content = "information value": the value set as the item name

Hereinafter, the item name, information value, and the like will be collectively referred to as an attribute value of a meta tag.

1 is a diagram illustrating a process in which a mobile browser obtains wireless Internet address information from a website. When the mobile browser connects to the A website 120 with the communication terminal 100 of the wireless Internet user, the wireless Internet address information of the A website 120 may be obtained from the server of the website. If there is a website B 130 that is affiliated with the website A 120, the wireless Internet address information of the website B 130 can be obtained from the website A 120 without accessing the website B 130. It may be. In this case, the A website 120 and the B website 130 are websites in which wireless Internet addresses are registered. On the other hand, in the case of the C website 140 which is not registered with the wireless Internet address, it is possible to access the C website 140 through the wireless Internet, but it is impossible to obtain the wireless Internet address information. In addition, when a wireless Internet user accesses the wireless Internet information providing server 110 by using a mobile browser of a communication terminal and inputs a search word of a website for obtaining wireless Internet address information, the wireless Internet user may register a website with a wireless Internet address. Only you can be provided with the wireless Internet address information corresponding to the website.

2 is a block diagram of a communication terminal 200 capable of obtaining wireless Internet address information according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The input unit 210 receives a user signal for requesting wireless Internet address information or a user signal for storing wireless Internet address information. If there is an input of a user signal, the registration confirming unit 220 recognizes this and confirms whether to register a wireless Internet address. Alternatively, when the mobile browser accesses a website through the wireless Internet, the registration confirmation unit 220 confirms whether the website is registered with the wireless Internet. That is, the registration confirmation unit 220 may automatically check whether the wireless Internet address is registered, or may check whether the wireless Internet address is registered by the input unit 210. The information acquisition unit 230 reads the wireless Internet address of the website registered by the registration confirmation unit 220 wireless Internet address. The controller 240 determines whether to display the wireless Internet address information obtained by the information acquirer 230 in the display unit of the communication terminal or store it in the storage unit. The control unit 240 may include the display control unit 250 and the storage control unit 260 separately, or may be configured as a single device that performs both display control and storage control functions. The display controller 250 recognizes an input of a user signal as to whether or not to display the wireless Internet address information after the mobile browser accesses the website. In addition, the display controller 250 controls the display unit to display or not display the wireless Internet address information according to the recognized input. In addition, the storage controller 260 recognizes an input of a user signal to store the information on the wireless Internet address when the mobile browser automatically obtains the wireless Internet address information after accessing the website. The storage controller 250 controls to store or not store the wireless Internet address information in the storage unit according to the input contents of the recognized user signal. The wireless Internet address information obtained by the information acquisition unit 230 is finally displayed on the display unit 270 or stored in the storage unit 280.

3 illustrates a process in which a mobile browser acquires wireless Internet address information by checking whether a website has registered wireless Internet address with website information according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. That is, when the wireless Internet user accesses a specific website while surfing the web using the communication terminal (S300), the mobile browser may recognize the website information of the website. (S310) The website information includes the URL of the website and Wireless Internet address registration information on whether or not to register a wireless Internet address is included. With the website information, the mobile browser checks whether the website is registered with the wireless Internet address (S320).

The reason for confirming registration of the wireless Internet address (S320) is as follows. In most cases, the wireless Internet address information is a combination of numbers (commonly referred to as numeric domains) that appear on the display of the communication terminal when a URL is entered using the keypad of the communication terminal. The number must be registered for the wireless Internet address so that the website can be accessed by the combination of numbers and hotkeys. Therefore, before the browser provides the wireless Internet address information, it is necessary to check whether the URL is registered with the wireless Internet address.

The server of the website to which the wireless Internet user is connected provides the wireless Internet address information in a manner specifically defined in the web page. For example, if a website's server provides WINC information and you use HTML <META> tags, you can provide wireless Internet address information in the following form:

<meta http-equiv = "WINC" content = "123 # 5">

However, the fact that the attribute value of the meta tag includes the wireless Internet address information (WINC information in the above embodiment) indicates that the website is registered with the wireless Internet address, that is, "wireless Internet address registration information."

The URL displayed at this time is not limited to the website currently being accessed, but can be provided for all general websites. For example, you can use HTML's <META> tag to provide sample.com's WINC information on any website, like this:

<meta http-equiv = "WINC" content = "123 # 5; URL = http: //sample.com">

That is, the fact that the wireless Internet address information is provided during the browsing using the mobile browser does not necessarily mean that the user has only been connected to the website corresponding to the URL mapped to the wireless Internet address information. That is, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the wireless Internet user may receive the wireless Internet address information of the website B 130 while accessing the website A 120.

For example, assuming that the http://www.naver.com wireless internet address information is "369", this wireless internet address information is not necessarily provided by accessing http://www.naver.com. When browsing a web page, for example, http://foobar.magicn.com, you can embed wireless Internet address information in the HTML code of the web page and pass it to the browser. Here, http://foobar.magicn.com becomes A website 120 and http://www.naver.com becomes B website 130.

In one embodiment, using a meta tag from a web server to a mobile browser,

If you pass in the format <meta http equiv = "WINC" content = "369; URL = http: //www.naver.com">, the mobile browser will see the meta tag's attribute value and the meta information will be "WINC" You can recognize that the WINC information of 369 is mapped to the URL http://www.naver.com. In addition, this is a difference in that the user does not intentionally search for wireless Internet address information such as WINC information, but provides the wireless Internet address information of a specific website as part of the contents of the website.

Therefore, according to the present invention, a method of enabling a wireless Internet user to recognize NAVER's wireless Internet address information together with a URL when the user connects to NAVER, and the user can access the NAVER wireless Internet even when accessing a website other than NAVER. Both methods for recognizing address information may be provided. For example, Cyworld will be able to apply the service to Wi-Fi users who have partnered with Naver to access its contents.

If it is confirmed that the URL of the website accessed by the mobile browser is registered with the wireless Internet address (S320), the registered wireless Internet address information is obtained from the web server of the website accessed by the mobile browser. The obtained wireless Internet address information may be displayed on the display unit 810 of the communication terminal shown in FIG. 8 or stored in the storage unit. However, if the wireless internet address registration check result shows that the URL has not been registered, the wireless internet address information may be terminated immediately or the wireless internet address may be displayed after a message indicating that the wireless internet address information has not been obtained. Information can be terminated.

This is illustrated in FIG. 4.

4 illustrates a process in which the mobile browser automatically acquires the wireless Internet address information and then displays the wireless Internet address information on the display unit or stores the wireless Internet address information according to a user input. The mobile browser accesses the website (S400), the mobile browser recognizes the website information (S410), and confirms the registration of the wireless Internet address of the accessed website (S420) to obtain the wireless Internet address information (S430). ) Is the same as the process shown in FIG. 3. In addition, if there is a user input for determining whether to display the acquired wireless Internet address information (S440), and determining whether to display the wireless Internet address information, the wireless Internet address information is displayed according to the input information. In operation 270, the terminal may end the operation or move to the next operation to determine whether the wireless Internet address information is stored (S460).

An embodiment of the step of displaying the wireless Internet address information on the display unit 270, 810 is as shown in Figure 8a or 8b. That is, the mobile browser may display the wireless Internet address information on the status bar 820 or display a pop-up window 830 displaying the wireless Internet address information.

On the other hand, if the wireless Internet address information is stored for each website to be accessed, the inconvenience caused by the storage of the wireless Internet address information of the website that you do not want to save, causing the step of confirming whether or not to store the wireless Internet address information in this storage method ( S460) is required.

 If there is a user input for determining whether to store the wireless Internet address information by checking whether to store the wireless Internet address information (S460), the mobile browser stores the wireless Internet address information on the internal or external storage device according to the input contents (S470). And, if there is no user input to save the wireless Internet address information, the step may end.

One embodiment in which a storage signal is input is to select a storage button from a menu item output in the step of confirming whether to store the wireless Internet address information. 8C, 8D, 8E, and 8F show an example in which menu items 840 and 850 are output to a display unit of a communication terminal. It is.

When the storage signal for storing the wireless Internet address information is input in this step, the mobile browser stores the wireless Internet address information in the storage unit 280 (S270). The storage unit, which is a place where the wireless Internet address information is stored, may be an internal storage device installed in a communication terminal or an external storage device.

The server of the website may then provide the wireless Internet address information in a manner specifically defined in the web page. For example, the meta tag of HTML is used to provide wireless internet address information as follows. Here, the meta tag of the HTML is a part for displaying basic information of the website, and the present invention includes wireless Internet address registration information, wireless Internet address information, a corresponding URL, and the like indicating whether to register a wireless Internet address.

In other words, if the server provides the WINC information to the mobile browser in the form of <meta http-equiv = "WINC" content = "123 # 5">, the browser may for example be in the form of "WINC access number: 123 # 5". Information can be displayed.

The method of displaying wireless Internet address information may be in various forms. In this case, the wireless Internet address information and the URL may be displayed together.

FIG. 5 illustrates a process of obtaining, by a mobile browser, wireless Internet address information from a web server by a user input requesting website information according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention. When accessing the website through the wireless Internet using the mobile browser of the communication terminal (S500), a user who wants to view the website information of the page being accessed requests the website information such as selecting a menu such as "View page information". Can do input. When the mobile browser receives the above input (S510), the mobile browser checks whether or not the wireless Internet address registration of the corresponding website (S520), and if the wireless Internet address registration is registered to obtain the wireless Internet address information (S530). In this case, the method may further include automatically displaying the acquired wireless Internet address information on the communication terminal or determining whether to display the wireless Internet address information according to a user input by checking whether the wireless Internet address information is displayed. Can be. Even in this case, if the obtained wireless Internet address information is displayed, the embodiment may have a method of displaying by the status bar shown in FIG. 8A or the pop-up window shown in FIG. 8B.

FIG. 6 illustrates that when a user attempts to record page information according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when a signal for storing website information is input by a mobile browser accessing a website (S600) (S610). The procedure of checking whether a site has registered a wireless Internet address is obtained (S620), thereby obtaining wireless Internet address information (S630), and storing the obtained wireless Internet address information. Receiving a signal for storing information of a website means that a user records page information through page scrap or URL storage such as bookmark or RSS page registration. In this case, the mobile browser may store the wireless Internet address information together with the URL of the website, or may store only the wireless Internet address information (S660). In this case, the storage unit 280, which is a place where the wireless Internet address information is stored, may be an internal storage device installed in a communication terminal or an external storage device.

In addition, before storing the wireless Internet address information, a step (S650) of displaying the obtained wireless Internet address information on the display for the user to be added may be added. Confirming step S640 may also be added.

As an embodiment for the wireless Internet user to check whether the mobile browser wants the wireless Internet address information to be displayed on the display unit, the menu item 840 of FIG. 8C or 8D may be output to the display unit.

In this step, if there is a user input requesting the display of the wireless Internet address information, the mobile browser outputs the wireless Internet address information to the display unit 270.

In this case, the wireless Internet address information may also be displayed on the status bar 820 and the popup window 830 of FIG. 8 so as to be output to the display units 270 and 810. In this case, the wireless internet address information, the wireless internet address registration information, and the URL may be displayed together.
