How to preview linked hypertext over the Internet {AN PREVIEW METHOD WITH LINKED HIGHPER-TEXT ON INTERNET}

The present invention relates to a method of linking hypertext linked on the Internet, and more particularly, linked hypertext preview on the Internet for automatically linking and previewing a linked site without directly clicking the linked hypertext. It's about how to look.

In general, homepages of individuals or companies carry character information consisting of hypertext to provide specific information. As the text information is linked to be visited to related sites as necessary, the use of the Internet is rapidly increasing. 1 is a screen showing an example of an Internet search site currently being used, referring to the following.

When the search site window 100 is displayed by connecting through the Internet, a search field 101 is provided at one side. If necessary, after the advertisement field 103 is provided, the result information 105 according to the search command input from the user is searched and displayed. 107 is a mouse pointer, which allows a user to select one of the searched results, and the search result information 105 is linked to link to a related site.

In addition, when the user places the mouse pointer 107 on the search result information 105 through the mouse, the mouse pointer 107 is moved to the link site description window 109 provided at the lower end of the search site window 100. Indicates the page location of the site on which it is located. Therefore, the user can know the site of the search result information 105 where the mouse pointer 107 is located and the page of the site.

However, such a link site description window 109 is for explaining only the page position of a simple web site, the contents of the site is unknown. In order to know the contents of the site, the user must visit the site by clicking on the search result information 105. In particular, in order to find a specific site through a search engine, a plurality of search result information 105 may be clicked to visit a plurality of sites, and the user may find a desired site.

In order to prevent this inconvenience, the search engine is set to the <Preview> column so that the current site can be previewed before visiting the site. In this case, when the site is stopped for a while, even though the site is not operated, the preview is displayed. As a result, the user clicks on the site and attempts to connect to the site.

In addition, if you view the <Preview>, you can see the basic information by clicking the <Preview> column, because the screen must be closed again after acquiring the basic information, eliminating the hassle that the user has to perform many clicks It is not in the situation.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a linked hyper text preview method on the Internet for previewing the site by the location of the mouse pointer.

401: popup window 403: search result information

405: mouse pointer 407: layer

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 is a configuration diagram for explaining the present invention. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of FIG. 2, and FIGS. 4A, 4B, and 4C are diagrams illustrating embodiments of the present invention. Referring to the drawings, the Internet network 201, the personal terminal 203, the buffer 205 mounted on the personal terminal 203, and a plurality of accessible web server 207, and will be described below The explanation is as follows.

The user visits a particular web site to select the information (a) provided by the plurality of web servers 207 via the personal terminal 203. The web site supplies the corresponding information to the personal terminal 203 through the Internet network 201, and the personal terminal 203 captures the corresponding screen corresponding to the information as an image and displays it to the user (step 301).

After the user connects to the Internet, the user downloads the program according to the present invention. Alternatively, the program may be stored in a hard disk of the personal terminal 203 through a separate program storage medium. Therefore, the user uses the Internet through the personal terminal 203 from which the program is downloaded, and the user accesses a search site according to the embodiment. Of course, not only the search site, but also any site that provides a linked URL (URL).

In accordance with the Internet connection, the web server 207 provides the search site window 400 to the personal terminal 203, and the user is provided with relevant information by inputting a search word. The related information is displayed at one end of the search site window 400, and the information of the site is linked to a URL so that the related information is linked to a specific site.

On the other hand, one end of the site is displayed in a predetermined pop-up window 401 for performing the function of the present invention, the option is provided so that the user can preview the site to be accessed (step 303). Therefore, the user can move the mouse pointer 405 to select "yes" or "no" of the pop-up window 401, and select "no" if not to perform the preview function of the access site. The popup window 401 is removed (step 321).

On the other hand, if the preview function of the site is selected through the pop-up window 401 of FIG. 4A (step 305), the user selects “Yes” of the pop-up window 401, and then the user selects a specific number of information provided from the search site. The mouse pointer 405 is moved to click the information of (step 307). That is, when the mouse pointer 405 is positioned on the text having the specific information, the personal terminal 203 protrudes the layer 407 onto the monitor, and the layer 407 displays the image information of the access site. As a window to display, a separate window is created on the screen of the currently connected site.

The CPU (not shown) of the personal terminal 203 connects to the UEL corresponding to the text to which the mouse pointer 405 is linked (step 311). This allows the screen capture engine to connect to the UAL to capture the source of the page, such as HTML, XML, or other Internet files (characters, images) (step 313). In other words, the UI information is read and stored in the buffer 205 without the click signal of the mouse pointer 405 (315).

The page information stored in the buffer 205 is displayed on the layer 307.

4B shows that when the mouse pointer 405 is positioned over the linked text, the layer 407 protrudes on the monitor, with the page of the URL being on the layer 407 based on the screen capture engine. It is displayed. Therefore, not only the main page of the corresponding site can be displayed on the layer 407 but also a sub page other than the main page can be shown according to the linked URL.

On the other hand, when the mouse pointer 405 is present on the text with the link information, but the web server 209 is not running or does not provide the information for a while, the information is displayed on the layer 407 with no information. This is because, when the screen capture engine captures the page screen from the web server 209, since there is no information of the page, the image data stored in the buffer 205 is not stored. Therefore, there is no display information on the layer 407.

For example, when a user attempts to access a specific site to obtain specific information (c) through a search site, the web server 209-the current homepage which has the UAL while protruding the layer 407 is stopped. The server requests the corresponding page information (c), but the web server 209 cannot provide the information (c), so that the information captured from the screen capture engine is provided without modification.

At this time, when displaying no information not provided by the web server 209, a predetermined message corresponding to the no information, for example, "service interruption", "site not connected" is displayed. can do. Therefore, the user does not fulfill the site visit attempt through the message.

On the other hand, if the user wants to directly visit the web site displayed on the layer 407, the user can click the text of the search result information 403 to visit directly, that is, a dynamic image instead of a static image.

4C is for explaining that the size of the layer 407 can be arbitrarily set. Although the size of the layer 407 can be set by the program operator according to the present invention, the user can select a mouse or a predetermined key. Even if the size is set by inputting a value of the width * length of the layer 407 through the input, it will not be departed from the gist of the present invention. In addition, when screen information captured from the screen capture engine described above is stored in the buffer 205, the screen capture engine continuously stores the screen information in the buffer 205 after the stored information is displayed in the layer 407. This allows you to capture not only static images but also dynamic images by allowing them to be displayed continuously.

As described above, in the linked hyper text preview method on the Internet according to the present invention, when the mouse pointer is located in a specific text, the user is connected to the corresponding UEL from CPI, and then the homepage image information of the UALL through the buffer. By storing the information and controlling the display of the stored information through a predetermined layer, the user can not only know in advance the information provided by the site he wants to visit without directly visiting a specific site, but also know whether the site is operated. When surfing the web, it is possible to prevent the unavoidable time waste of checking the homepage of the service interruption state.

In addition, by preventing the inevitable waste of time, the efficiency of the work including the speed of the Internet search and the convenience of use are increased.

What has been described above is just one embodiment for implementing the linked hypertext preview method on the Internet according to the present invention, and can be applied to an e-commerce site including a search site, a homepage, a trade site, and the like. The present invention is not limited to the embodiments, and any one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the gist of the present invention as claimed in the following claims can be variously modified. There is a technical spirit.
