Description

How to display multiple web pages in a web browser when using the multi-browser Internet browsing without requesting a separate user, and how to bring multiple web pages to the start page when starting an internet web browsing using them { Method for loading plural webpages on a webbrowse using multi-browse function when performing Internet webbrowsing and method for retrieving plural webpages as a start page when starting Internet webbrowsing using the same, without having any user requests}

The present invention relates to a method of displaying a plurality of web pages in a web browser when performing Internet web browsing using a multi-browser function, and a method of bringing a plurality of web pages to a start page when starting an internet web browsing using the same. In detail, when the web browser accesses and loads the reference web page having the multi-browsing function when the web browser is stored or executed, the web browser accesses and loads the stored other web pages in the reference web page. The present invention relates to a method of loading a plurality of web pages and a method of multi-browsing a plurality of stored web page addresses using the same as a start page without a separate user's request.

The World Wide Web (WWW) is a wide area hypermedia information retrieval network that provides access to web information internationally through networked hypertext computer servers and clients. Hypertext is an information presentation method that allows a highlighted word or hypertext link to point to other hypertext documents. Hypertext links are shown to indicate that they are links embedded in pictures or perhaps underlined or otherwise highlighted words or sentences. Web pages (or hypertext pages) are multimedia objects such as text, graphic (still) images, and audio or moving picture recordings.

These web documents on the web are accessed by using a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape to be called on the screen. Most web browsers are designed to view a single document in a single web browser window. FIG. 1 shows such a conventional browser. When the web browser is opened, the browser shown in FIG. 1 is displayed, and when the site address name is entered in the address box 40, the web page of the site is displayed in the browser window 50. do. 1 to 10 is a browser or site name, 20 is a menu for browsing, 30 is for performing page switching such as "back", "forward", "stop", and "refresh" of the displayed web page. Part. 60 denotes a task status bar displaying a task status, and 70 denotes a Windows task bar having a Windows start button on which a browser program is executed. In FIG. 1, 11, 12, and 13 are buttons for performing a function of hiding, reducing, or deleting a web page shown at the bottom of the window. In such a browser, one web address (URL) corresponds to one document, and the user enters the address or navigates to another web document through a hyperlink. To use multiple documents at once, you need to use several browser windows together. There is a browser designed to eliminate this inconvenience, but it has to download a separate browser and there is a problem of compatibility with the browser used by most users. Therefore, it would be convenient in many ways to use various existing documents by using the most commonly used browser. However, the existing browser has only one address bar 40 as shown in FIG.

Accordingly, the present applicant has developed a technology for displaying multiple web pages on the browser screen by introducing the concept of pre-browsing or multi-browsing, which are described in PCT international applications PCT / KR00 / 01218 (WO 155897) and PCT / KR01 / 02247. . In this case, the pre-browser or multi-browser function is implemented on the web browser by giving a function to display several documents at once using a scripting language such as JavaScript or a general programming language. In particular, in the case of the multi-browser function, it is possible to upload several documents at once and select and browse the documents among them, and to display the results of several database search engines at once and to select and browse the search result pages. Load multiple documents and display the selected object in the browser when a mouse selection event occurs. Such multi-browsing is performed in a virtual / emulated browser. Applicant has provided an internet tool that can provide a user-friendly interface and greatly save time by using the pre-browsing or multi-browsing functions. However, even in this case, the web documents loaded by the pre-browsing function and the multi-browsing function do not load a plurality of web documents or web pages when the web browser performs or starts a web browsing, but have a pre-browsing or multi-browsing function. Only when a web document is searched by a search engine, etc., it is loaded on a web browser. Even if a web document does not have a separate pre-browsing or multi-browser function, it can load a plurality of web pages simultaneously with web browsing. We did not get to the web page or web page we wanted faster.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to store the address of a plurality of web pages loaded in conjunction with a reference web page (web document) having a multi-browsing function, to perform the Internet web browsing to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages Multibrowsing function, if the web browser accesses and loads the reference web page at startup, multi-browsing the other stored web pages from the reference web page so that the web browser loads several web pages the moment the web browser accesses the reference web page. Provides a way to display multiple web pages in a multi-browser window of a web browser without a separate user request.

Another object of the present invention is to store the address of a plurality of web pages loaded in conjunction with a reference web page (web document) having a multi-browsing function as a start page, when the web browser is started when the Internet web browsing Internet web browsing by multi-browsing the stored other webpages from the reference webpage to load multiple webpages as the start page in the multibrowser window of the webbrowser the moment the webbrowser accesses the reference webpage. Provides a way to import multiple web pages into the start page without requiring a separate user request.

Another object of the present invention is to display a plurality of web pages in the multi-browser window of the web browser without a separate user request by using a multi-browser function that allows the designation of a plurality of web pages through one of the menu of the web browser And a method of bringing a plurality of web pages to the start page using the same.

In addition, the web browser program may use the hard disk of the PC as a space for storing the address of the web page.

Hereinafter, a method of launching a plurality of web pages in a web browser and a plurality of using the same without a separate user request when performing or starting Internet web browsing using a reference web page having a multi-browsing function according to the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. The operation of the method of using a web page as a start page will be described in detail.

2 is a diagram illustrating a multi-browser window for explaining a method of displaying a plurality of web pages in a web browser using the multi-browser function according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, a multibrowser performed in a method of displaying a plurality of webpages in a web browser by using the multibrowser function according to the present invention is, in addition to the existing browser functions 10, 20, 30, and 40. It includes a document selection unit 200 to display that the web page is loaded on the screen. The screen 33 is the main part of the browser in which the documents (document 1, document 2, ..., document n) selected by the document selection unit 200 are displayed. In FIG. 2, a plurality of web documents are alternately displayed on the screen 33, but if desired, the plurality of web documents may be divided and displayed in a plurality of windows.

Multibrowsing functions that enable such multibrowsing have already been disclosed in the applicant's prior application (PCT / KR00 / 01218 (WO 155897) and PCT / KR01 / 02247), but for the purpose of understanding the description, the multibrowsing function This will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 2.

1. Enter the URL of the website in the address bar 40 and load the background document of the web page into the browser. The linked web documents are loaded into the frames of the browser by using the pre-browse function, and the name of the document is selected. Register at 200. The background document is shown on the current screen 33. Each document can be selectively viewed by being placed on an object such as a different frame / layer.

2. When the document is selected in the document selector 200, the object on which the selected document is displayed is displayed on the screen 33, and the object with the background document disappears. Since the document is placed on an object such as a frame / layer, it has the same effect as shown in a separate window.

3. If another address is entered in the address window 40 of the current document, the document of the address appears on the screen 33, and the name of the document selection unit 200 is changed to the name of the current page.

4. Click the link in the current document and the linked page appears on screen 33.

5. The operations 2, 3, and 4 are performed only on the frame in which the page is located, and thus do not affect the contents of other documents at all.

6. When another document is selected in the document selector 200, the object of the document appears and the current object disappears. Of course, only the object is invisible, the contents inside are unchanged, and the next time it is selected, it reappears.

By doing this, you can actually see the multibrowsing effect of one web browser browsing several documents at once.

As described above, the multi-browsing function applied to the present invention opens and loads a plurality of web pages at once, loads the document into an object such as different frames / layers, and selects one of several documents to display on the screen. The city object is visible and the object currently visible disappears.

The above-described multibrowsing function is merely an example, and the multibrowsing function of calling a plurality of web documents may be implemented in various ways.

Hereinafter, a method of displaying multiple web pages in a web browser without a separate user request using the multi-browsing function of the present invention, and a method of bringing a plurality of web pages to a start page when starting Internet web browsing using them It will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. In the present invention, in order to load a plurality of web documents in one web browsing, the address of the desired web document (or web page) is stored, and the web browser reads the address of the stored web document by multi-browsing, and so on. The method of storing the address of the desired web document can be implemented as follows.

That is, in the present invention, a method of inputting, storing, and retrieving the addresses of a plurality of web pages loaded in conjunction with a reference web page (web document) having a multi-browsing function is an Internet address (URL) of the reference web page. And storing in a reference web document having a multi-browsing function, storing in a web server (web DB), and storing in a client PC. The storing of the reference web page address is performed by a user. Can address multiple web pages via one of the menus of the web browser (eg, "tool"). For example, you can save the address of the web document you want in the address bar or cookie window of Internet Explorer's Tools menu.

Here, in the method of storing the address of the web document in the Internet address, the address becomes long and it will not be easy to change the web page. The method of storing the address of the desired web document in the web document also needs to be separately processed in the web document. In addition, the method of storing the address of the web document in the web server will be cumbersome because the personal data is in the server, so each time the user performs the registration and login process.

Accordingly, the present invention will be described as an example of storing the web site addresses of the web documents in its own computer and loading them in conjunction with the reference web document for performing the multi-browsing of the present invention. Thus, the disadvantages of storing the web document addresses in the Internet address, in the web document, and in the web server are eliminated.

One example of storing an address of a desired web document in one's personal computer (PC) is a case in which several page addresses enter a cookie in a personal computer (PC). In this case, when the browser accesses and loads a reference web page with the multi-browsing function to which the invention is applied, multi-browsing other web page addresses stored in the client cookie from the reference web page, The page is loaded and multibrowsed. Of course, using cookies, as well as ActiveX controls or the Microsoft .NET platform, web pages can be stored on your PC's hard disk. It can also be implemented if the PC's hard disk is used as a storage space for this purpose in a browser program. In addition, when the web page is set as a browser start page (home page), several web pages are automatically loaded when the browser program is started.

First, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 illustrates a method of web browsing multiple web pages without a separate user request by using a multi-browser function when several web page addresses are stored in the form of cookies in a personal computer according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It is a flowchart for doing so.

As shown in FIG. 3, first, when a web browser is operated to display a document to which the present invention is applied, that is, a reference web page having a multi-browsing function on the desktop (step 300), in step 310 it is checked whether there is a cookie. If there is no cookie in step 310, the new cookie is stored in step 320 and the process returns to step 310 to check if there is a cookie. If there is a cookie in step 310, a web page address is extracted from the cookie in step 330 (step 330). Then, the web browser multi-browses the stored web document (step 340) until the address of the stored web document does not remain in the cookie (step 350). If there is an address remaining in step 350, the flow proceeds to step 330 to perform steps 340 and 350, and if there is no remaining address in step 350, the operation is completed. Thus, for example, the Korea Patent Office website is referred to as a reference website (reference web page) having a multi-browsing function, and a plurality of web pages loaded in connection with it are referred to as the U.S. Patent Office site and the Japan Patent Office site and stores the website address. When using the technology of the present invention, when a user browses a website of the Korea Patent Office website, which is a reference website on the Internet, when the reference website is loaded without a separate user request, the U.S. Patent Office website and the Japan Patent Office website are It will be displayed in the multibrowser window.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of storing a plurality of web page addresses loaded in association with a reference web page (web document) having a multi-browsing function according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

In FIG. 4, when the address of the above-described web document is stored in the web document, when it is stored in the web server (web database), and when it is stored in the terminal PC of the client, it will be implemented as an example.

As shown in FIG. 4, a document capable of loading a plurality of web pages from the web server 400 by running the web browser 422 at the client 420, for example, a reference web having a pre-browse / multiple-lauze function. When the document 410 is loaded, the client 420 retrieves a plurality of web document addresses from the web document address from the web document address storage unit 424 (421), and stores the web document 450 in the web database 450. Imported from the document address storage unit 454 (431), if stored in the client PC from a plurality of web document address storage unit 434 (441). After importing the plurality of web document addresses in this manner, the plurality of web documents are loaded from the plurality of web document servers 460 (461).

The web documents loaded in this way are displayed in the document selection unit 200 of the multi-browser window of FIG. 2 so that the web page is displayed on the screen 33 when the user clicks or mouses on the documents of the document selection unit 200. do.

Until now, the present invention stores and links the addresses of a plurality of web documents loaded in connection with a reference web page (web document) having a multi-browsing function. Although it is described that the web page is loaded, a web page that can be loaded with a plurality of web documents is a web page designated as a specific web document, for example, an Internet start page. When the web browser is started, the start page is automatically displayed. Other web documents displayed at the same time and linked thereto are also displayed on the web document selection unit 200 of FIG. 2 so that the user can have a plurality of start pages.
