This may be similarly applied to other types of broadcast and multicast signaling as described above.

FIG. 4 shows various GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites 300. These satellites 300 may track the location of some or all of the mobile terminals 100. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that although two satellites are shown, location information can be obtained from more or fewer satellites. Other types of location tracking techniques (e.g., location tracking techniques that may be used in place of or in addition to GPS technology) may be used. If desired, some or all of the GPS satellites 300 may be configured to separately or additionally support satellite DMB transmission.

During operation of the wireless communication system, the base stations 270 receive reverse link signals from a plurality of mobile terminals 100. The mobile terminals 100 may be busy, are sending messages, and are performing other communications. Each reverse link signal received by the base station is processed at the base station. The processed data is transmitted to the connected base station controller 275. The base station controller 275 provides call resource allocation and provides mobility management functionality including orchestration of soft handoffs between the base stations 270. [ ). The base station controllers 275 also transmit the received data to the mobile switching centers (MSCs) 280. The mobile switching center 280 provides additional routing services for interfacing with the public switched telephone network (PSTN) 290. Similarly, the public switched telephone network 290 interfaces with the mobile switching center 280 and the mobile switching center interfaces with the base station controllers 275. The base station controllers 275 in turn control the base stations 270 to transmit forward link signals to the mobile terminals 100.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an operation procedure of a mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 6 to 8 illustrate a web document display state in the mobile terminal of FIG.

1) of the mobile terminal 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a step (S10) of acquiring a configuration of a web document (WP) and a step (S20) may be performed.

A web page (WP, web page) can refer to an individual document on the World Wide Web. Each web document WP can be hyperlinked to each other. Typically, a web document (WP) is stored on a web server and may include HTML or XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, and various multimedia content. The web document (WP) can be transmitted from the server to the terminal via HTTP.

The configuration of the web document WP can be obtained through the wireless communication unit (110 in Fig. 1). If a specific web document (WP) is selected by the control signal of the user or the control unit (180 in FIG. 1), the control unit (180 in FIG. 1) can request information about the configuration of the web document (WP) to the server. That is, it means that the configuration of the web document (WP) can be requested to the server before acquiring the content included in the web document (WP). The configuration of the web document WP may be the position, size, kind, etc. of various elements included in the web document WP.

Once the configuration of the web document is obtained, the acquired configuration can be interpreted. For example, based on the acquired configuration, it may mean that a process of determining which content should be inserted at which position and to what extent.

In operation S30, the multimedia contents included in the web document WP may be classified according to the capacity.

The multimedia content may be content excluding normal text content included in the web document WP. For example, the multimedia content may include video, audio, still image, flash, Ani-Gif. Video can be video or image and sound, audio audio, and still image can be still image. Flash and Ani-Gif can be a combination of still images and video-like content.

The size of the multimedia content may vary depending on the unique attribute of the multimedia content. For example, video content typically has a greater incentive than a still image. Therefore, the control unit (180 in FIG. 1) can classify the multimedia contents according to the capacity based on the structure of the analyzed web document.

The step of acquiring and displaying low-capacity multimedia contents (S40) may be performed.

The low-capacity multimedia contents can be acquired relatively quickly through the wireless communication unit (110 in FIG. 1). Furthermore, the control unit (180 in FIG. 1) can acquire and display low-capacity multimedia contents of a relatively small capacity first. For example, it means that a still image having a relatively smaller capacity than other multimedia contents can be obtained first and displayed on the display 151.

When the low-capacity multimedia content is acquired and displayed, the step of determining whether to acquire the high-capacity multimedia content and display (S50) may be performed.

High capacity multimedia content can be relatively large. A large amount of content may take a long time to process not only a large amount of system resources in acquiring and displaying the content. Accordingly, if the display step of the web document WP proceeds after acquiring all of the high-capacity multimedia contents included in the web document WP, the perceived speed of the user using the mobile terminal 100 may decrease. Accordingly, whether or not to acquire the high-capacity multimedia contents can be selectively proceeded by the setting of the user or the control operation of the control unit (180 in Fig. 1). If it is determined that the high capacity multimedia content is not acquired, step S60 of acquiring and displaying the high capacity multimedia content may not proceed.

As shown in Fig. 6, the web document (WP) displayed on the display 151 may include a plurality of contents. For example, in addition to the text content in which the information is represented by a character, it may include a high-capacity multimedia content (HC) as a video and a low-capacity multimedia content (LC) as a still image. FIG. 6 shows a state in which various contents included in the web document WP are acquired and displayed.

As shown in Fig. 7, a situation may occur in which the high capacity multimedia content HC is not displayed, based on the user's selection or the control operation of the control unit (180 in Fig. 1). Further, the high capacity multimedia content HC may not be obtained from an external server that provides a web document (WP). That is, the following cases are possible. The high capacity multimedia content HC may not be acquired through the wireless communication unit 110 (110 in FIG. 1), or the high capacity multimedia content HC may be acquired but not displayed. The acquisition of the high-capacity multimedia content HC may be performed after the time when all other contents of the web document WP are acquired and displayed.

In the case where the high-capacity multimedia content (HC) is not acquired, since the time required for acquisition is not required, the display of the other portions may not be affected.

In the case where the high capacity multimedia content HC is acquired after the point in time when the other contents are displayed, the acquisition of the high capacity multimedia contents HC does not affect the acquisition and display of the other contents, I can not.

Even when the high-capacity multimedia contents HC are acquired before the other contents are displayed, the processing for displaying the acquired high-capacity multimedia contents HC can be performed after the display of the other contents. Therefore, the influence of the high capacity multimedia contents HC on the overall performance of the mobile terminal 100 can be minimized.

As shown in Fig. 8, the display of the low capacity multimedia contents (LC) can be restricted together with the high capacity multimedia content (HC). That is, it is expected that the loading speed of the web page (WP) felt by the user can be improved by displaying only normal text contents.

9 is a signal flow diagram of the mobile terminal of FIG.

As shown in the figure, the mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can communicate with and operate with the server S. [

The mobile terminal 100 may request the configuration of the web document WP to the server S (S5). The configuration of the web document WP may be information on the type, size, and position of the content included in the web document WP, unlike the content itself included in the web document WP.

The server S may provide the configuration of the web document WP to the mobile terminal 100 (S10).

The server S provided with the configuration of the web document WP can analyze the configuration of the web document WP (S20). Interpretation of the configuration of the web document (WP) may refer to the overall form of the web document (WP) by analyzing the HTML syntax and the arrangement of the contents included therein.

The mobile terminal 100 requests the low-capacity multimedia contents LC to the server S in step S35 and the server S provides the requested low-capacity multimedia contents LC to the mobile terminal 100 in step S37 have.

The mobile terminal 100 interprets the received low-capacity multimedia content LC and displays it (S40).

The mobile terminal 100 may request the high-capacity multimedia contents HC from the server S (S55) after the display of the low-capacity multimedia contents LC is completed. And can provide the server S to the mobile terminal 100 that has requested the high capacity multimedia contents HC.

The mobile terminal 100 provided with the high-capacity multimedia contents HC can display it (S60). Since the time point of acquiring and displaying the high capacity multimedia contents HC is after the point of displaying the low capacity multimedia contents LC, the speed at which the user perceives the motion of the mobile terminal 100 can be increased.

10 is a table for classifying the types of multimedia contents managed by the mobile terminal of FIG.

As shown in the figure, the multimedia contents can be divided into capacity, which is one of the attributes. That is, it means that it can be divided into high capacity and low capacity. Video, audio, flash, and Ani-Gif can be included in high-capacity multimedia content, and still images and the like can be included in low-capacity multimedia contents. However, the content in the indicated format is not necessarily divided into a high capacity and a low capacity. For example, in the case of video contents, if the capacity is small, it can belong to the low-capacity multimedia contents classification. If the capacity of the still image is large, it can belong to the high-capacity multimedia contents classification.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart specifically illustrating a step of acquiring and displaying the high-capacity multimedia contents of the mobile terminal of FIG. 5;

As shown in FIG. 1, the control unit 180 of FIG. 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention can determine whether or not to acquire high-capacity multimedia contents and whether the content is displayed or not.

The control unit 180 of FIG. 1 may proceed to step S52 of determining whether the optional display function is activated.

The optional display function may mean a function of causing the content of the multimedia attribute to be displayed or hidden according to the attribute. By the user's selection or control operation of the control portion (180 in Fig. 1), the optional display function can be activated or deactivated.

If the optional display function is activated, step S55 of determining whether to acquire a high-capacity content can be performed.

Whether or not to acquire a high-capacity content may be based on various criteria. For example, the user can be set not to acquire high-capacity content in advance. Alternatively, it is possible to decide to acquire a high-capacity content according to whether or not a specific time point for acquiring a high-capacity content has arrived. For example, it can be determined whether all the low-capacity contents have been acquired and displayed.

If it is determined to acquire the high-capacity content, step S57 of acquiring the high-capacity content may be performed.

When acquiring the high-capacity content, the step S59 of determining whether to display the high-capacity content may be performed.

Whether or not to display the high-capacity content can be determined by various criteria similar to the case of determining whether to acquire high-capacity content. For example, it can depend on the value set by the user in advance, whether or not the display of the low-capacity contents is completed, or whether there is additional input from the user.

If it is determined to display the high-capacity content, step S60 of displaying the high-capacity content may proceed.

In order to display the acquired high-capacity content, a decoding process for the acquired high-capacity content may be required. The decoding process for the content may also occupy the resources of the mobile terminal 100 as well as acquisition and display of the content. Therefore, as with the acquisition of the content, the stage at which the display of the acquired content is to be progressed can be an element that can change the bodily sensation speed of the mobile terminal 100.

If it is determined not to acquire or display the high-capacity content, the step S70 of recording the fact in the list of the high-capacity content may be performed.

By recording the high-capacity content which is not acquired or decided not to be displayed in a specific list, it is possible to refer to the recorded list and thereby perform acquisition or display later.

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a setting process related to a selective display function of the mobile terminal of FIG.

As shown in the figure, the mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can provide a screen related to the setting of the optional display function to the user.

As shown in Fig. 12 (a), a screen for confirming to the user whether or not to activate the optional display function can be provided.

As shown in FIG. 12 (b), if the selective display function is activated, it is possible to determine what content is to be targeted. The user can select the content desired by the user, and display of the content can be selected selectively.

It is possible to determine whether or not the download for the selected content is to proceed as shown in (c) of FIG. If the download is restricted, the downloading of the content may not be carried out, but only the list may be recorded.

FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a screen display method of the mobile terminal of FIG. 5;

As shown in FIG. 1, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may display the content of the content to which the optional display function is applied.

As shown in Fig. 13 (a), a special indication may not be given to the space where the high-capacity multimedia contents HC not displayed are to be located.

It is possible to visually display that the high-capacity multimedia contents are downloaded as shown in Fig. 13 (b). That is, it means that the user can easily know whether the download progresses visually by displaying a text and / or a progress bar.

As shown in FIG. 13 (c), when the downloading of the high-capacity multimedia contents is completed, the fact can be visually displayed. At this time, even if the download is completed, the screen of FIG. 13C can be maintained without displaying it. When the user touches the area on the held screen, the downloaded content can be decoded and displayed.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, such modifications or variations are intended to fall within the scope of the appended claims.
