As noted above, the object of the lock is not the window itself, but a web page that displays the product.

On the other hand, when a specific window has a hierarchical structure, the layer moving unit 240 can move between layers.

The global control unit 100 simultaneously controls all displayed windows as described above.

The global window type setting unit 110 can change the entire window to the same display type by a user operation. For example, when the user selects the mobile phone landscape icon 114, the global window type setting unit 110 changes the display type of all the windows to the mobile phone landscape as shown in FIG.

When the user moves the slide bar 120 of the global controller 100 of FIG. 1 in the direction of increasing the height by using the mouse, the global window height controller 120 simultaneously increases the height of the entire window as shown in FIG. 7 , And vice versa reduces the height of the entire window at the same time.

The locked window display unit 130 displays only the stored windows at once by being locked by the window locking unit 230 of the local control unit 200. [ For example, if the user wishes to list only the products he / she has interest and stored during product search, the locked window display unit 130 can be used to extract and view only the locked windows.

On the other hand, when the user wishes to compare specific products among the products selected by the user, the locked window comparison unit 140 arranges two comparison windows, for example, in the entire web browser, and displays a lock window under the window in a thumbnail manner do.

When the user selects two desired lock windows from among the lock windows listed in the thumbnail list, the locked window comparison unit 140 inserts the selected lock windows into the respective comparison windows, and the user can scroll the two products through the scroll function or the zoom function And can be compared in detail.

On the other hand, when the position of a desired product is not known accurately, the search unit 150 can be used.

When the search unit 150 receives a product search word by inputting a user, the search unit 150 lists and displays windows for displaying a web page including the search query.

Preferably, the search unit 150 displays the window corresponding to the web page containing the most search words most in the largest size and the remaining windows in the order of the smallest size, or arranges the displayed positions in order from the first position .

As a result, you can easily access the web page that contains the most search terms, making it easy to access the product.

In addition, when the user selects the statistical information display unit 160 to move to a page having a high access because of its popularity, the statistical information display unit 160 displays various statistical information processed based on the access information in a separate window to provide.

As described above, for example, it is possible to display information such as which window is accessed the most or which window is accessed the most at which time, and the user can move to a desired web page using the displayed statistical information.

In particular, the window corresponding to the most accessed web page or the most purchased web page is displayed in the largest size and the remaining windows are displayed in the order of the smallest size, or the displayed positions are arranged in order from the top position, It can be easily identified.
