Description

METHOOD, TERMINAL, SERVER AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM FOR SUPPORTING MANAGEMENT OF RSS DOCUMENT ON MOBILE BROWSER}

The present invention relates to a method for supporting RSS document management on a mobile browser, a terminal device, a server, and a computer-readable recording medium, and more particularly, a particular article among articles included in the RSS document as an article of interest by the user. If selected, the XML data about the RSS document is parsed to obtain link information, content information, etc. corresponding to the specific article, and then the information of the acquired specific article is added to the information about articles already stored as articles of interest. By creating and updating HTML documents and providing the generated HTML documents on the screen at the request of the user, so that the user can separately manage and easily view only the articles of interest included in the RSS document. A method, a terminal device, a server, and a computer readable recording medium are provided.

RSS is a service that notifies users of a predetermined message (i.e., feed) whenever a new article is updated on a website where content is frequently updated, such as blogs, news, corporate information sites, announcements, shopping information, and employment information. Means. The RSS service enables many users to use the RSS service because it enables them to see the latest contents in real time without having to go directly to the host site to check for new posts on the RSS-applied document. In line with this, most news and portal sites are also expanding their RSS services.

In particular, in recent years, with the rapid development of computer, electronic, and Internet communication technologies, various multimedia communication services using a wireless network are enabled, and thus, mobile terminals that support users to fully utilize multimedia communication services. As smart phones (especially smart phones) are in the spotlight, various smart phone applications are being developed and released to enable RSS services in a mobile environment.

However, due to the characteristics of the mobile terminal, the existing mobile browser is inferior to the desktop environment. Therefore, the mobile browser can download an RSS document, store the entire article on the terminal, and then parse and browse all the articles in the RSS document. Since there was only one, it was virtually impossible to manage only the articles he wanted separately within an RSS document containing all the titles, links, and main contents of various articles. In other words, even if the user wanted to save only the articles of interest on the device, he had to save the entire RSS document containing the articles of interest. If he wanted to view the articles again, he would access the RSS document containing the articles and search for the articles. Discomfort was to be observed.

Therefore, to compensate for the shortcomings caused by accessing RSS documents by using the existing mobile browser, a technology for allowing a user to separately store and manage only articles of interest among a plurality of articles included in an XML-based RSS document. The need for development has increased.

It is an object of the present invention to solve all the problems described above.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to convert and store only the articles of interest selected by the user from the articles included in the RSS document in HTML format so that only the articles of interest can be separately managed and easily viewed.

Representative configuration of the present invention for achieving the above object is as follows.

According to an aspect of the present invention, a method for supporting management of an RSS document on a mobile browser, the method comprising: (a) parsing XML data about the RSS document when a particular article among articles included in the RSS document is selected as a user's article of interest; To obtain at least one of link information and content information corresponding to the specific article, and (b) generating an HTML document including information of the obtained specific article.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for supporting RSS document management on a mobile browser, wherein (a) a particular article among articles included in the RSS document is selected through the user's mobile terminal device as an article of interest of the user. If detected, transmitting first program code to the mobile terminal device to parse XML data related to the RSS document to obtain at least one of link information and content information corresponding to the specific article, and (b) the And transmitting a second program code to the mobile terminal device to generate an HTML document including information of a specific article obtained by the first program code.

According to still another aspect of the present invention, a terminal device for supporting RSS document management on a mobile browser, and when a specific article among articles included in the RSS document is selected as an article of interest of the user, XML data about the RSS document is parsed. Provided is a terminal device including an XML data analysis unit for acquiring at least one of link information and content information corresponding to the specific article, and an HTML document management unit for generating an HTML document including the acquired information of the specific article.

According to another aspect of the present invention, a server for supporting RSS document management on a mobile browser, when it is detected that a particular article among articles included in an RSS document is selected through the user's mobile terminal device as an article of interest of the user A first program code providing unit for parsing XML data about the RSS document to transmit at least one of link information and content information corresponding to the specific article to the mobile terminal device; and A server is provided that includes a second program code provider for transmitting a second program code to the mobile terminal device to generate an HTML document including information of a specific article obtained by a first program code.

In addition, there is provided another method, system, and computer readable recording medium for recording a computer program for carrying out the method for implementing the present invention.

According to the present invention, since only the articles of interest selected by the user among the articles included in the RSS document are converted and stored in the HTML form, resources such as a memory of the terminal device are saved, and the user can easily store, manage, and view only the articles of interest. As a result, the user's convenience can be enhanced.
