The controller 30 searches for an area where content is linked among web page screens displayed on the display 40, and displays access information of the linked content.

2 is a diagram illustrating a web page screen displayed on a mobile communication terminal capable of displaying a web page according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown, a web page screen is displayed on the display screen 400 of the display unit 40 of the mobile communication terminal 100.

The displayed web page screen is composed of various areas 401, 402, and 403 to which a search box and content are linked. The user may control the displayed web page screen by using various keys 21, 22, and 23 positioned at the bottom of the display screen 400.

The web page screen displayed on the display screen 400 may be moved up and down by using the scroll key 23. In addition, the side pointer 22 may be used to move the mouse pointer on the web page screen or to select specific content.

The controller 30 analyzes the source code constituting the web page while checking the received or stored web page screen on the display screen 400 and checks an area including the link tag. Thereafter, a ping signal is sent to the server in which the content linked to the link area is stored, and information on the access information of the link area is displayed on the display screen 400 according to the response.

In the present embodiment, 'Mail 401', 'Welcome 402' or 'Autos 403' among the displayed web page screens is an area to which content is linked. When the user moves the mouse pointer to 'Mai 401' and selects it, a web page linked to 'Mail 401' is received and displayed on the display screen 400.

The controller 30 stores the web page linked to the mail 401 so that the user can know whether to access the web page linked to the mail 401 even if the mail 401 is not selected. Send a ping signal to the server. Then, the response to the ping signal sent out or the response speed is checked to calculate the access grant or access speed of the web page linked to the 'Mail 401'.

The controller 30 changes the text color of the mail 401 or displays the access information on the display screen 400 so that the user can know the access information even if the mouse pointer moves only to the mail 401. do.

That is, as shown in FIG. 3, when the mouse pointer moves to 'Mail 401', the text color of 'Mail 401' is changed according to the result of sending a ping signal. If there is no response signal according to the ping signal, the text color of the 'Mail 401' is changed to red to indicate that access is impossible. If there is a response signal according to the ping signal, the text color of the 'Mail 401' is changed to green. If there is a response signal according to the ping signal but the speed is slow, the text color of the 'Mail 401' is changed to orange.

In the present invention, the color of the text is only one embodiment, and in addition, displaying the access information in various colors is also included in the scope of the present invention. In addition to the text color, access information can be changed by underlining the text or by changing the surrounding shadow. All of these are also included in the scope of the present invention.

As shown, the control unit 30 of the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention displays a pop-up window 404 displaying the access speed based on the response speed to the ping signal when the mouse pointer is moved to 'Mail 401'. do.

The user of the mobile communication terminal may adjust the selection of the link area 401 according to the access speed displayed in the popup window 404. If the access speed is too slow under the internet speed provided, the link area 401 will not be selected. In addition, when there is no response signal to the ping signal, the pop-up window 404 displays an indication indicating that access is not possible instead of the response speed.

Accordingly, the user of the mobile communication terminal may select whether to click based on the information displayed in the popup window 404 before clicking the 'Mail 401'. For this reason, since the access is impossible after clicking the link area unnecessarily, the step of returning to the previous screen can be omitted.

FIG. 5 illustrates an embodiment in which access information is displayed at the bottom of the display screen 400 instead of a pop-up window in the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.

As illustrated, when the mouse pointer moves to the link region 401, the access speed may be displayed as text at the bottom of the display screen 400 instead of the pop-up window. Therefore, when the user of the mobile communication terminal selects the content linked to the link area, the user may control whether to select the linked content through the text displayed at the bottom.

FIG. 6 illustrates another embodiment of displaying access information on the bottom of the display screen 400 instead of a pop-up window in the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.

As illustrated, when the mouse pointer moves to the link area 401, information about an access speed and whether to play the linked content may be displayed at the bottom of the display screen 400 instead of the pop-up window.

That is, if the linked content is an audio file or a video file composed of streaming data, the server should access the server where the linked content is stored and download streaming data, which is an audio file or a video file, together with the web page. Is accessible, and even if the user can access at the desired time, it takes a lot of time to load the data when the streaming data transmission rate is slow.

Therefore, when the linked content is composed of streaming data such as .avi or .mpg, the controller 30 transmits a ping signal to the server storing the linked audio file or video file to check the transmission speed.

If the confirmed transmission speed is insufficient for playing the streaming data constituting the audio file or the video file, the controller 30 will display the playback speed of the linked content as 'late' at the bottom of the display screen 400. If the transmission speed of the streaming data is suitable for playback, the controller 30 will display the playback speed of the linked content as 'good' at the bottom of the display screen 400. That is, the access information is displayed as shown in FIG.

In other words, as shown in FIG. 6, when the mouse pointer is moved to a region 405 to which an audio or video file is linked, in addition to the regions 401, 402 and 403 to which the general web page screen is linked, the bottom of the mobile terminal display screen 400. Information on the playback speed is displayed along with whether access is allowed or not.

If necessary, the mobile communication terminal can select information to be displayed as access information. In the case of the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, 'access grant' and 'playing speed' are displayed as access information. However, if necessary, the access information may be displayed together with access access as access information.

The information included in the other access information or the location where the access information is displayed can be changed according to the user setting, and all of them will be included in the scope of the present invention.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.

As shown, the control unit 30 of the mobile communication terminal executes a web browser according to a user input and displays a web page on the display screen 400 of the display unit 40. In addition, the controller 30 analyzes the source code of the displayed web page.

The control unit 30 checks whether the link tag is included when analyzing the source code, extracts an area of the web page screen with the link tag (S110), and sends a ping signal to the server storing the content linked to the link area (S120). Check the access information.

At this time, when the ping signal is transmitted, the server storing the content (web page, video file, audio file) transmits a response signal. If the server where the content is stored is currently unreachable or off, or if the response speed is very slow, there is no response signal.

Therefore, the controller 30 first checks whether the response signal exists after transmitting the ping signal (S130).

If there is a response, the controller 30 calculates a response speed from the response signal (S140), and matches the corresponding response speed to each link region (S150).

Thereafter, when the mouse point is moved to the link region or the display unit is configured as a touch screen and the link region is contacted according to a predetermined pattern, access information is displayed (S160). The most typical method of displaying access information may be to change the color of the link area according to accessibility. If necessary, information on the access speed may be output as text using a pop-up window.

However, if there is no response, when the mouse is moved to the link area, the controller 30 indicates that access is not possible on the display screen 400. That is, a text message indicating that the text of the link area is changed to gray or that access is not possible at the bottom of the display screen 400 will be output.

Accordingly, the user of the mobile communication terminal can know information on whether the link area is accessible before directly selecting the link area, and the playback speed if the content is composed of streaming data even when the link area is accessible.

On the other hand, the present invention can be implemented as a processor-readable code in a processor-readable recording medium provided in the mobile communication terminal. The processor-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording devices that store data that can be read by the processor. Examples of the processor-readable recording medium include ROM, RAM, CD-RON, magnetic paper, floppy disk, optical data storage, and the like, and may also be implemented in the form of a carrier wave such as transmission over the Internet. . The processor-readable recording medium can also be distributed over network coupled computer systems so that the processor-readable code is stored and executed in a distributed fashion.
