Next, the controller 209 checks the connection to the web server 130 (S303). The controller 209 checks whether the user requests a web page search or a bookmark list view through the key input unit 205.

If the connection to the web server 130 is confirmed, the control unit 209 searches for a web page (S305). 5A and 5B show screens connected to the web server 130 and displaying specific web pages. 5A and 5B, the web page is displayed on the display unit 203 by the address of a specific web page input through the key input unit 205.

Subsequently, the controller 209 checks the request of the bookmark (S307). The controller 209 checks whether a bookmark is requested through the key input unit 205 while searching for a web page. The request for a bookmark is made by selecting an option displayed at the bottom of the display unit 203 and selecting a bookmark among the displayed menus, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B. Here, if there is no request for a bookmark, the controller 209 continuously performs a web page search function.

If there is a request for a bookmark, the controller 209 checks whether an image file provided by the web page exists (S308). The web page provided by the web server 130 is provided as a hypertext markup language (html) document. In an html document, an image file generally contains information such as a title and a logo representing a web page. And the image file usually has the word name of the web page address. For example, in the case of a web page of "www.A.com", an image file may exist in the form of "A.img". When the controller 209 checks the bookmark request, the controller 209 checks whether an image file of the web page exists.

If an image file exists, the controller 209 extracts an image file including a title and logo information of the web page (S310), and stores the web page as a bookmark using the extracted image file (S312). Here, the controller 209 may store the image as a bookmark using the extracted image file.

On the other hand, if it is not possible to check the image file provided by the web page in step S308 described above, the control unit 209 detects the address of the web page (S309). Upon confirming the bookmark request from step S307 described above, the controller 209 detects the address of the web page currently being displayed on the display unit 203. Here, the address of the web page is a URL. Referring to FIG. 5A, when a bookmark is requested while searching for a web page of Samsung, the controller 109 detects the URL of the Samsung web page, that is, "www.samsung.com". 5B, the URL of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers web page, that is, "www.ieee.org/portal/site" is detected.

The controller 209 then checks whether there is a word that matches "ieee" in the web page of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, as shown in FIG. 5B.

If a word that matches the word of the detected address exists in the web page, the control unit 209 captures the matching word part (S313). Referring to FIG. 5A, a word matching "samsung" is in the upper left 501a of the web page, and referring to FIG. 5B, a word matching "ieee" is in the upper left 501b of the web page. The controller 209 searches a field recognized as a character through a scanning process on a web page image, and finds a word that matches the detected word. If there is a match, the controller 209 captures the word portions 501a and 501b as an image.

Here, the controller 209 may capture not only the portion of the word that matches the word of the detected address but also the logo when providing the logo information on the web page. Or, in general, since the logo of the web page is also placed in close proximity to the word of the address, the controller 209 recognizes the image as a logo of the web page when the image is recognized in the vicinity of the word portion matching the detected word, You can also capture the logo. That is, the controller 209 captures the logo portion of the web page together with the portion matching the detected word as an image. For example, as shown in FIG. 5B, on the web page of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the logo in front of the word can be captured along with the "ieee" portion that matches the word in the address.

Subsequently, the controller 209 stores the web page as a bookmark using the captured image (S315). The controller 209 stores the image of the web page captured by the above-described step S313 as a bookmark of the web page.

Then, the control unit 209 confirms the termination (S317), and terminates this function. Here, if the end is not confirmed, the control unit 209 returns to the above-described step S305 to continue the web page search function.

On the other hand, in the above-described step S311, if a word matching the word of the detected address is not in the web page, the control unit 209 captures the web page top image (S319). In the web pages shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the word that matches the word of the detected address is present in the web page. The control unit 209 captures the upper portions 503a and 503b of the web page as set in the provided web page image, for example, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, according to the set form. Then, the process returns to the aforementioned S315 process.

Hereinafter, a bookmark display method of a mobile communication terminal according to the present embodiment will be described.

Referring to FIG. 4, if the connection to the web server 130 is not confirmed in the above-described step S303, the controller 209 checks whether a bookmark list view has been requested (S321). The controller 209 checks whether the stored bookmark list is requested to be displayed through steps S301 and S319 described above. The user may select a bookmark list view menu through the key input unit 205.

When the bookmark list view is requested, the controller 209 displays the captured images as a list (S323). Screens in which the captured images are listed are shown in FIGS. 5C and 5D. Referring to FIG. 5C, when a bookmark list view is requested, web page images 501a and 501b captured through the aforementioned S313 process are displayed as a bookmark list. 5D, the web page images 503a and 503b captured through the above-described process S319 may be displayed as a bookmark list. In addition, image files provided by a web page may be displayed as a list as a bookmark.

Next, the controller 209 checks whether a specific image is selected (S325). As illustrated in FIGS. 5C and 5D, the controller 209 receives a specific image from a screen displaying the captured images as a list.

When a specific image is selected, the controller 209 connects to the web server 130 and displays a web page of the selected image (S327). As illustrated in FIGS. 5C and 5D, when the Samsung web page is selected, the controller 209 first connects to the web server 130 through the wireless communication network 170 to connect to the Samsung web page. The control unit 209 then displays the selected web page on the display unit 203.

Subsequently, the control unit 209 terminates this function when the end is confirmed (S329).

Meanwhile, the bookmark storing and displaying method of the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and may be variously modified within the scope not departing from the technical spirit of the present invention.

In the present embodiment, when a bookmark is requested during a web page search, when the word that matches the word of the address of the web page does not exist in the web page, the top image of the web page is captured and stored as a bookmark, but is not limited thereto. For example, when the user sets it in advance, when the bookmark is requested, the top image of the web page is captured and stored as a bookmark. When the bookmark list is displayed, the top image of the captured web page may be displayed as a list. .

This will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
