Referring to FIG. 4, in response to a user's command, the controller 180 displays a first web page including a search box (S410). Specifically, when the user selects the Internet mode, the controller 180 executes a web browser. Then, the first web page is received from the web server to display at least a part of the first web page. Preferably, the first web page includes a search box.

The controller 180 receives a search command together with the search word (S415). If a user activates a cursor in a search box, inputs a search word through a text input window, selects a search icon or an enter key, the controller 180 may receive a search command together with the search word.

When the search command is received together with the search word, the controller 180 stores the search word in the search word database (S420). Preferably, the search word database is provided in one area of the memory. A method of storing a search word in a search word database will be described in detail later.

In addition, the controller 180 generates a search request signal including a search word in response to a search command and transmits the search request signal to the web server (S425). After the web server performs a search using the search word, the web server transmits a second web page corresponding to the search result to the mobile terminal, so that the mobile terminal receives the second web page corresponding to the search result from the web server (S430). .

Meanwhile, the controller 180 determines whether the same text as the search word is included in the text included in the second web page (S435).

If the text included in the second web page includes the same text as the search word (S435-Y), the same text as the search word is distinguishably displayed, and at least a part of the second web page in which the same text as the search word is distinguishably displayed is displayed. Displayed in the unit 151 (S440). However, when the text having the same search word is not included in the text included in the second web page (S435 -N), the controller 180 displays at least a part of the second web page received from the web server (S445).

Meanwhile, the controller 180 determines whether a third web page display command is received through the user input unit 130 (S450). The user may enter a third webpage display command by selecting a link included in the second webpage, or input a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) address of the third webpage in the address bar of the web browser. 3 You can enter web page display command. In addition, the execution of the web browser may be terminated, the web browser may be executed again, and a third web page display command may be input.

When the third web page display command is received (S450-Y), the controller 180 generates a third webpage request signal and transmits the signal to the web server, and receives the third webpage from the web server (S455). The web server providing the third web page may or may not be the same as the web server providing the first web page.

The controller 180 determines whether the same text as the search word is included in the text included in the third web page (S460).

If there is the same text as the search word among the texts included in the third web page (S460-Y), the display unit 151 displays at least a portion of the third web page which is displayed in the same manner as the search word and is distinguishably displayed. It is displayed (S465). However, when there is no text identical to a search word among texts included in the third web page (S460 -N), the controller 180 displays at least a part of the third web page received from the web server (S470).

As such, when a search command is received together with a search word while the web page is displayed, not only the same text as the search word is identifiably displayed on the web page corresponding to the search result, but also the same text as the search word is also identified in other web pages. By displaying as much as possible, it is possible to effectively display the text of interest to the user, such as a search word. Thus, the user can easily identify the text of interest.

On the other hand, while the web browser is running, the user can enter a number of search commands including a search word. Therefore, the controller 180 needs to store only the recently received search word and display the same text as the stored search word.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of storing a search word according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the controller 180 receives a search command together with a search word through the user input unit 130 (S510). Before storing the search word, the controller 180 determines whether the number of search words previously stored in the search word database is equal to or greater than a preset number (S520).

If it is determined that the number of pre-stored search terms is equal to or greater than the preset number (S520-Y), the controller 180 deletes the first stored search word among the search words stored in the search word database (S530). The search word received together with the search command is stored in the search word database (S540).

However, if it is determined that the number of pre-stored search terms is less than the preset number (S520-N), the controller 180 stores the search terms received with the search command in the search term database (S540).

As such, since only a certain number of search terms are stored in the search word database, not only the number of texts that can be distinguishably displayed on the web page can be limited, but also recently received search terms can be stored. In addition to limiting the number of texts, a search word may be stored based on a storage capacity of the search word database. That is, when the search term received with the search command is stored in the search term database, when the storage capacity of the search term database is exceeded, the first search term may be deleted and a new search term may be input.

FIG. 6 is a reference view for explaining a method of displaying a web page in which the same text as a search word according to the first embodiment of the present invention is distinguishable.

In storing the search word in the database, when the number of search words stored in the search word database is greater than or equal to a predetermined number, the stored search word may be deleted first and the search word may be stored. In the present embodiment, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that there is no search word previously stored in the search word database. The controller 180 generates a search request signal including a search word and transmits the search request signal to the web server. Then, the web server performs a search using the search word and transmits a web page (hereinafter referred to as a “second web page”) corresponding to the search result to the portable terminal. The controller 180 receives the second web page from the web server through the wireless communication unit 110. If the text included in the second web page is the same text as the search word pre-stored in the search word database, the controller 180 displays the same text as the search word in a identifiable manner, and the second web page 640 is displayed in the identifiable manner. , As shown in FIG. 6C, is displayed on the display unit 151. In this case, the distinguishable display means displaying the same text size, font, color, etc. as the search word differently from other texts, or highlighting the same text as the search word. In (c) of FIG. 6, the same text as the search word is displayed larger than other text to be distinguishably displayed. Meanwhile, a link may be set in some text 642 of the second web page 640. Web pages linked by links (hereinafter referred to as 'third web pages') are also web pages related to search, and therefore include search terms. The user may input a display command of the third web page by touching an area where the text 642 to which a link is set is displayed. Then, the controller 180 receives the third web page 650 from the web server. In addition, the same text 652 as the search word among the texts included in the third web page 650 is distinguishably displayed, and the third web page 650 that is distinguishably displayed is illustrated in FIG. 6D. As can be displayed. Thus, the user can more easily identify the portion where the search word is displayed in each web page.

FIG. 7 is a reference view for explaining a method of displaying a web page in which the same text as a search word according to a second embodiment of the present invention is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 7A, when the Internet mode is set, the initial screen 710 of the Internet mode is displayed on the display unit 151. The user may touch the text icon 720 to activate the text input window. The user may input the URL address of a specific web page in the address bar 712 of the web browser or the text corresponding to the specific web page in the search box 714 using the activated text input window. When the next icon 716 or the search icon 718 is touched, as shown in FIG. 7B, a specific web page 730 is displayed on the display unit 151. On the other hand, when displaying a specific web page, the controller 180 can be identified in the same manner as to increase the size of the same text as the pre-stored search word if there is the same text as the pre-stored search word among the text included in the particular web page. To be displayed. In FIG. 7B, it can be seen that the two types of text 732 and 734 are distinguishably displayed. The identifiable text 732, 734 is a word previously entered as a search term.

As described above, the text previously input as the search word is displayed in a web page other than the web page corresponding to the search command so that the user can check the information about the previously entered search word.

8 is a reference diagram for explaining a method of changing a search word according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The user may change or add a search word stored in a search word database by entering a search word in a search window of an initial web screen or a web page. However, the search word may be changed by a method other than the above method.
