Hereinafter, an apparatus and method for automatically adjusting a web viewer service link according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The terminal used in the present invention may be a mobile terminal (eg, a smartphone) or a personal computer (PC), but is not limited thereto.

1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a network configuration including an apparatus for automatically adjusting a web viewer service link according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a network including an apparatus for automatically adjusting a web viewer service link according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a terminal 101 and an apparatus for automatically adjusting a web viewer service link 103.

As a response to the web service request, the terminal 101 may receive and display a web page from the web viewer service link automatic adjustment device 103 through a communication network (eg, a mobile communication network, a Wi-Fi network, and an internet network). . The terminal 101 may transmit the input selection position to the web viewer service link automatic adjustment device 103 according to a user click on the web page (for example, focusing occurs using a touch or mask click).

The terminal 101 receives the link information corresponding to the link area from the web viewer service link automatic adjustment device 103 when the link area associated with the selected position exists on the web page, and stores the received link information in the web page. It can be displayed by updating to. In this case, when there is no link area associated with the selected position on the web page, the terminal 101 may receive information about the link failure from the web viewer service link automatic adjustment device 103 and display the information on the web page.

The web viewer service link automatic adjustment device 103 may provide a web page in response to the web service request of the terminal 101. In addition, the web viewer service link automatic adjustment device 103 checks the existence of a link area associated with the selection position on the web page in conjunction with the selection position input from the terminal 101 for the web page. The link region associated with the selection position may be a link region corresponding to the selection position or a link region existing within the search range set based on the selection position.

 The web viewer service link automatic adjustment device 103 may transmit the link information corresponding to the link area to the terminal 101 when there is a link area associated with the selection position. On the other hand, when the web viewer service link automatic adjustment device 103 does not have a link area associated with the selected position as a result of the checking, the web viewer service link automatic adjustment device 103 may transmit information on the link failure to the terminal 101.

2 is a diagram showing the configuration of a web viewer service link automatic adjustment device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1 and 2, the apparatus 103 for automatically adjusting a web viewer service link according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an interface 201, a processor 203, and a database 205.

The interface 201 sets a search range on the web page based on the selection position in association with the selection position input from the terminal 101 for the web page. Here, the interface 201 may set a circle or polygon including the selected position as the search range.

In addition, the interface 201 may adjust and set the search range in consideration of the pixel size, resolution, or type of dedicated site associated with the display means of the terminal 101.

In detail, the interface 201 may be configured such that the smaller the pixel size associated with the display means of the terminal 101, or the higher the resolution associated with the display means, the wrong click of the user (eg, a portion other than the link area) may occur. As the probability increases, the search range can be expanded.

In addition, the interface 201 has a larger area of the link area than the case of a mobile site when the type of a dedicated site for the web page (ie, a type of terminal supporting an optimal state) is a mobile site. Since it is wide, the search range can be reduced as compared with the search range in the case of a PC site.

For example, the interface 201 assumes a dedicated site type as a 'PC site' based on the selected pixel size and resolution, and sets a circle with a distance of '12 pixels' as a default search range based on the selection position. Can be.

After that, when the pixel size corresponding to the device identification information of the terminal 101 inputting the selection position is smaller than the predetermined pixel size, the interface 201 enlarges the search range and moves the selection position to the origin by '15 pixels' distance. You can adjust with circle. The interface 201 enlarges the search range even when the resolution corresponding to the device identification information of the terminal 101 which inputs the selection position is higher than the selected resolution, and selects the selection position as a circle with a distance of 15 pixels. I can adjust it.

In addition, when the type of the dedicated site is 'mobile site', the interface 201 may reduce the search range and adjust the selection position to a circle of 5 pixels distance from the origin.

Meanwhile, the interface 201 extracts the pixel size or resolution corresponding to the device identification information of the terminal 101 which inputs the selection position by referring to the database 205, and the predetermined extracted pixel size according to the type of the dedicated site. Alternatively, a search range corresponding to the resolution may be obtained.

The processor 203 transmits link information corresponding to the link region to the terminal 101 when the link region exists within the set search range.

When a plurality of link regions exist within the set search range, the processor 203 uses one of a plurality of link regions by using at least one of a distance from a selected position, a selection frequency, or a weight for each direction information for the link region. Selects a link area and transmits link information corresponding to the selected link area to the terminal.

In this case, when there are a plurality of link regions within the set search range, the processor 203 may select a link region having a relatively short distance from the selected position. For example, the processor 203 may set the link area _ # 1 having a distance of 0.3 cm from the selected position and the link area _ # 2 with a distance of 0.5 cm from the selected position within the set search range. 'Exists,' link area _ # 1 'can be selected that the separation distance is relatively short.

In addition, when a plurality of link regions exist within the set search range, the processor 203 may select a link region having a relatively high selection frequency for the plurality of link regions with reference to the database 205. For example, when the link area_ # 1 having the selection frequency '100' and the 'link area_ # 2' having the selection frequency '200' exist within the set search range, the selection frequency is relatively ' Link area_ # 2 'can be selected.

In addition, when a plurality of link regions exist within the set search range, the processor 203 may select the link region in consideration of weights for each direction information according to a user's selection pattern. Specifically, when there are a plurality of link regions, the processor 203 refers to the database 205 and assigns a weight to each of the link regions in consideration of the direction in which the link regions are located based on the selected position. The link area having a relatively high assigned weight may be selected.

For example, the processor 203 matches the 'north' and 'northeast' directions with the link information 'link area_ # 1' and 'link area_ # 2' located within the set search range as the direction information on the link area, respectively. By comparing the weights '2' and '3' respectively corresponding to the matched direction information, the 'link area_ # 2' located in the 'northeast' direction having a high weight may be selected.

On the other hand, when the link area does not exist within the set search range, the processor 203 transmits the information about the link failure to the terminal 101, so that the user clicks easily to confirm that the link connection is impossible. By doing so, it is possible to induce the user to click on a linkable portion.

The database 205 may record the pixel size / resolution corresponding to the device identification information of the terminal or the search range for each type of dedicated site corresponding to the pixel size / resolution. In addition, the database 205 may further record the selection frequency for each link region or the weight for each direction information for the link region as information according to a user's selection pattern.

3 is a view for explaining a method for searching a link area in an apparatus for automatically adjusting a web viewer service link according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the apparatus for automatically adjusting a web viewer service link checks the existence of a link region associated with the selection position on the web page in association with the selection position input from the terminal for the web page. The link region associated with the selection position may be a link region corresponding to the selection position or a link region existing within the search range set based on the selection position.

For example, the web viewer service link automatic adjustment device interlocks with the input of the first selection position 301a from the terminal for the webpage, and sets the first search range 301b on the webpage based on the first selection position 301a. If the link region 303 exists in the set first search range 301b, link information corresponding to the link region 303 may be transmitted to the terminal.

In addition, the web viewer service link automatic adjustment device interlocks with the input of the second selection position 305a from the terminal for the webpage, and sets the second search range 305b on the webpage based on the second selection position 305a. If the link region 303 exists in the set second search range 305b, link information corresponding to the link region 303 may be transmitted to the terminal.

Accordingly, the web viewer service link automatic adjustment device not only provides the link information corresponding to the link area 303 in conjunction with the input of the third selection position 307a from the terminal, but also provides the first selection position 301a or the first. In response to the input of the selection position 305a, link information corresponding to the link area 303 is transmitted to the terminal, thereby increasing the success rate for selecting a web viewer according to a user click.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a search range for each condition set in the apparatus for automatically adjusting a web viewer service link according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the apparatus for automatically adjusting a web viewer service link may record a search range for each condition in a database. That is, the apparatus for automatically adjusting the web viewer service link may set and record a pixel size / resolution corresponding to the device identification information of the terminal and a search range for each type of dedicated site corresponding to the pixel size / resolution.

For example, the web viewer service link automatic adjustment device has a personal computer (PC) site of a web page, has a pixel size of '1 mm' and a resolution of '320 * 240' associated with the display means of the 'first model' terminal. ', The circle of distance '10 pixels' is set as the search range from the selection position input from the terminal as the origin, while the pixel size associated with the display means of the 'second model' terminal is '0.7 mm', In the case of '800 * 480', a circle having a distance of '15 pixels' may be set as a search range based on the selection position input from the terminal.

Here, the web viewer service link automatic adjustment device may reduce the search range when compared to the search range when the dedicated site type of the web page is a mobile site or a PC site. For example, when the web viewer service link automatic adjustment device is a mobile site, and the pixel size associated with the display means of the 'first model' terminal is '1 mm' and the resolution is '320 * 240', the selection position input from the terminal is selected. If the circle of distance '3 pixels' is set as the search range as the origin, while the pixel size associated with the display means of the 'second model' terminal is '0.7 mm' and the pixel size is '800 * 480', it is input from the terminal. A circle with a distance of '5 pixels' can be set as the search range using the selected selection position as the origin.

Therefore, the web viewer service link automatic adjustment device sets the search range in consideration of at least one of the device identification information of the terminal, the pixel size / resolution of the display means, or the type of dedicated site, thereby providing the optimal link information for the web viewer selection. Can provide.

That is, the apparatus for automatically adjusting the web viewer service link may set and record a weight for each direction information in which the link region is located based on the selection position input from the terminal.

Subsequently, when a plurality of link areas exist within the search range associated with the selection position input from the terminal, the web viewer service link automatic adjustment device utilizes weights for the direction information of the link areas as information for selecting one link area. Can be.

The web viewer service link automatic adjustment device may set weights for eight directions (ie, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest, north, northeast) based on the selection position. That is, the web viewer service link automatic adjustment device is weighted as '1, 1.5, 0, 4, 5, 2.5, 2, 3' in response to the directions 'east, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest, north and northeast'. Can be set.

For example, the apparatus for automatically adjusting the web viewer service link is linked to the input of the selection position 509a from the terminal for the web page, so that a plurality of link regions, i. 1 (501), link area_ # 2 (503), link area_ # 3 (505), and link area_ # 4 (507) are present, the northwest and northeast directions as the direction information in each link area. ',' Southwest 'and' Southeast 'directions are matched, and the weights' 2.5', '3', '4' and '1.5' corresponding to the matched direction information, respectively, are compared to the 'Southwest' directions with the highest weights. The link area _ # 3 505 located in the PDU may be selected, and link information corresponding to the selected link area _ # 3 505 may be transmitted to the terminal.

When a plurality of link areas exist within a search range associated with a selection position input from a terminal, the web viewer service link automatic adjustment device uses one link by using a weight for each direction information on the link area according to a user's selection pattern. By selecting a region and providing link information corresponding to the selected link region to the terminal, it is possible to provide optimal link information for selecting a web viewer.
