In addition, the web server receives a basic web page from the content server 140 in response to the page request, converts the web page into a converted web page that can be viewed on the mobile terminal 100, and analyzes the converted web page to designate a main block. do. In addition, a tag is attached to the main block so that the main block specified in the mobile web browser mounted on the mobile terminal 100 can be displayed immediately.

The Internet 130 is an internationally connected network structure that connects various content providers with users who use the content service. The Internet 130 interlocks the page conversion server 120 and the content server 140 with each other, and accesses the mobile terminal 100 through a wireless LAN or a gateway of the mobile communication network 110.

The content server 140 operates a unique Internet site and provides web pages of the Internet site to the mobile terminal 100 through the mobile communication network 110 during the wireless Internet service. The plurality of content servers 140 are connected to the mobile terminal 100 through the Internet 130 and the mobile communication network 110 to provide various types of content (eg, games, movies, shopping, etc.).

The content server 140 receives a page request from the page conversion server 120, and when the page request is received, extracts a basic web page corresponding to the Internet address and transmits it to the page conversion server 120.

As described above, the wireless Internet service system as shown in FIG. 1 performs an operation of analyzing a web page, a search for a main block, and an operation of showing a portion of a main block.

When the user requests a web page through a wireless web browser mounted on the mobile terminal 100, the page conversion server 120 receives the web page from the content server 140 having the actual web page, and the user receives the web page. The conversion process can be seen at 100. In the conversion process of the web page, the page conversion server 120 performs the analysis and processing operations required to search the main block.

FIG. 2 is a detailed configuration diagram of the page conversion server shown in FIG. 1.

Referring to FIG. 2, the page conversion server 120 includes a signal processor 121, a page converter 122, a block search unit 124, and a main content setting unit 123.

The signal processor 121 generates a page request and transmits it to the content server 140, and receives a basic web page from the content server 140 in response.

The page converter 122 receives a basic web page from the signal processor 121, converts the web page into a mobile web page, and transmits the converted web page to the block search unit 124.

The block search unit 124 analyzes the layout of the mobile web page transmitted from the page converter 122 and calculates a plurality of blocks according to a predetermined rule. Here, the block search unit 124 extracts information about the block level components related to the layout of the mobile web page, and the position information (Position, Top, Left, etc.) and the area ( A plurality of blocks are calculated based on Area, Width * Height), Width, Height, and the like.

The main content setting unit 123 selects a main block among a plurality of blocks calculated by the block search unit 124 and attaches a tag so that the main block is immediately displayed on a wireless web browser of the mobile terminal 100. Do it.

The main block can be selected in the following manner.

For example, the block having the largest area among the plurality of blocks may be selected as the main block.

Here, the main content setting unit 123 when the area of several blocks is similar or there is little difference in area between the largest block and the second largest block, that is, when the area difference is less than a certain ratio or the area is difficult to compare. Among the some blocks having the largest area, the block having the largest content data (eg, text) is selected as the main block.

In addition, when a link is selected by a user during web browsing of the mobile terminal 100, a block in which the same phrase as the phrase on which the selected link is placed among the plurality of blocks first appears may be selected as the main block.

The mobile terminal 100 automatically receives the converted web page with the tag inserted in the main block from the page conversion server 120 and automatically displays the main block on the screen.

When the page conversion server 120 finally selects the main block through block search and main content search, and processes the selected main block to be automatically displayed, the user is automatically displayed through the mobile terminal 100 when the web page is moved. You can see the main block.

When the mobile terminal 100 accesses the corresponding web page, the mobile terminal 100 may access by attaching '#main' to the end of the Internet address. Or, wrap the main block in a <div> tag in a nonstandard way, and specify a specific name (for example, id = "main_content_detected" or class = "main_content_detected") by the id or class of that <div>. You can also apply the method to show the <div> immediately.

Wireless web browsers display web pages in two ways: full screen and portrait.

The full screen method is a method of displaying a web page on the screen of the mobile terminal 100 in a form similar to viewing a web page through a computer, and the vertical screen method is a web page in accordance with a small screen of the mobile terminal 100, especially a vertical layout. This is a modified way of showing.

In full screen mode, web pages are provided for browsing through Zoom-in / Zoom-out, and in the case of vertical screen mode, web pages can be browsed using only vertical scrolling. Is provided.

At this time, since the entire web page is difficult to be displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 100, the user has no choice but to browse while viewing only a part of the web page.

Accordingly, the mobile terminal 100 finds and displays the main block where the most important content is located in each web page when the user moves the web pages while clicking a link on the wireless web browser.

Unlike in the case of a computer in which the entire web page is displayed on one screen, on the mobile terminal 100, the user needs to enlarge the desired portion through browsing or find the desired portion directly by vertical scrolling.

At this time, time and effort are wasted due to the characteristics of the mobile web browser such as relatively slow network speed and inconvenient user interface. Therefore, the main block in which the content which is determined to be the most important when the web page is moved is automatically displayed on the screen, thereby reducing waste and providing a more convenient wireless Internet environment.

Hereinafter, a wireless Internet service method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 8.

3 is a flow chart of a wireless Internet service method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, in step S110, when the user performs web browsing through the mobile terminal 100 and inputs an Internet address, the mobile terminal 100 generates an access request corresponding to the input Internet address to the mobile communication network 110. Through the page conversion server 120 to transmit.

Next, in step S120, the page conversion server 120 generates a page request corresponding to the access request received from the mobile terminal 100 and transmits to the content server 140.

Next, in step S130, the content server 140 receives the page request from the page conversion server 120 via the Internet 130, and extracts the basic web page corresponding to the Internet address included in the page request page Transfer to the conversion server 120. The page conversion server 120 receives a basic web page in response to the page request.

Next, in step S210, the page conversion server 120 converts the basic web page received from the content server 140 into a mobile web page that can be viewed on the mobile terminal 100.

Next, in step S220, the page conversion server 120 analyzes the layout of the mobile web page, and divides the mobile web page into a plurality of blocks by a predetermined rule.

In this case, the page conversion server 120 extracts information on block-level elements related to the layout of the mobile web page, and based on the location information, area, width, height, etc. of each component. As a rule, a plurality of blocks are classified and managed.

The layout of the web page can be analyzed through data such as Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), which defines the structure of the web page, Cascading Style Sheet (CSS), JavaScript, etc., which designed the web page. An example of the process of analyzing the layout is as follows.

First, the page conversion server 120 may determine location information (Position, Left, Top, etc.), width, height, area (area) of block level components related to the layout of the web page from data such as HTML and CSS. Extract all information such as Area, Width * Height).

Thereafter, the page conversion server 120 calculates a plurality of blocks according to a predetermined criterion. Criteria for distinguishing each block may be set in various ways. For example, if the attribute of the position information is absolute rather than relative, if the area is more than a certain value, if the width is longer than a certain value, the block level component is recognized as one block. Can be.

Next, in step S230, the page conversion server 120 selects the main block of the plurality of blocks constituting the mobile web page, so that the selected main block is immediately displayed on the wireless web browser running on the mobile terminal 100 Insert a tag.

Next, in step S310, the mobile terminal 100 receives a mobile web page with a tag inserted in the main block in response to the access request, and recognizes the portion corresponding to the main block through the tag on the wireless web browser Mark it immediately.

In the above-described process, the connection request and its response, the page request and its response are signals transmitted and received in accordance with a communication standard such as HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol).

4 and 5 are detailed flowcharts illustrating some steps of FIG. 3, illustrating two methods of selecting a main block in step S230. 6 to 8 are exemplary views illustrating screens for selecting a main block in the wireless Internet service method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, a process of selecting a main block among a plurality of blocks forming a web page will be described as follows. At this time, it is basically assumed that the main content is located in the main block.

First, in step S231, the page conversion server 120 compares the areas of the plurality of blocks constituting the mobile web page, and selects the block having the largest area.

Next, in steps S232 and S233, the page conversion server 120 examines whether the area of the selected block is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, and whether the selected block has an area greater than or equal to a certain ratio compared to the second largest block. do.

If the selected block satisfies both conditions, the page conversion server 120 determines the block as the main block.

As a result, the block having the largest area (width * height) and the area having a specific value or more is selected as the main block among blocks having both width and height information. If the area of the selected block is smaller than a predetermined value or not larger than a certain ratio compared to the area of the second largest block, it is not determined as the main block.

For example, in FIG. 6, one web page is divided into a plurality of blocks B1, B2, B3, B4, and B5, and the largest block B3 is selected as the main block according to the methods of S232 and S233. .

If the area difference of the blocks is less than a certain ratio or the area comparison is difficult, the page conversion server 120 proceeds to step S234 to select the main block as another criterion.

In steps S234 and S235, the page conversion server 120 selects a block having the most content data (eg, text) and having a predetermined level or more of content data as the main block. In this case, the linked content data may be excluded from the reference.

For example, in FIG. 7, one web page is divided into a plurality of blocks B1, B2, B3, and B4, and the areas of the two blocks B2 and B3 having the largest area are almost similar, so that the area difference is constant. It is not abnormal. In this case, the main block is selected according to the amount of content data in the two blocks B2 and B3. In other words, a block B3 having a larger amount of content data is selected as the main block.

If the main block is not selected even based on the area of the blocks and the amount of the content data, the page conversion server 120 proceeds to step S236 and has the widest or the highest width among the blocks having information on the width or height. The main block with the highest, reference width or height above a certain value is selected.

As described above, each step for selecting the main block may be selectively performed or omitted in some cases.

Referring to FIG. 5, another process of selecting a main block will be described as follows.

First, in step S241, the page conversion server 120 recognizes that a link of a web page is selected by a user operation when browsing the web.

Next, in step S242, the page conversion server 120 stores the content data (eg, text) of the selected link and analyzes the morpheme of the corresponding content data.

Next, in step S243 and step S244, the page conversion server 120 checks whether there is the same phrase as the phrase on which the selected link is applied to the plurality of blocks, and selects the block in which the same phrase first appears as the main block. do.

If there is no identical phrase, the page conversion server 120 proceeds to step S245 to extract words of the phrase on which the selected link is hanging through morphological analysis, and selects the block in which the extracted words first appear as the main block.

For example, referring to FIG. 8, when a user clicks a link called 'the current stock market status' in a wireless web browser of the mobile terminal 100, the page conversion server 120 displays a newspaper article with the same phrase. Select the part as the main block and show it immediately. As a content data constituting a web page, it is natural that various data, such as a navigation area and a banner for advertisement, may be included in addition to newspaper articles.

In the process of selecting a main block, depending on the characteristics of the web page and the purpose of web browsing, the methods of FIGS. 4 and 5 may be selectively applied to each other, or may be integrated and applied together.

Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains may implement the present invention in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features thereof. I can understand that.

Therefore, since the embodiments described above are provided to completely inform the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art, it should be understood that they are exemplary in all respects and not limited. The invention is only defined by the scope of the claims.
