Referring to FIG. 2, in step S201, the processor 110 displays a web browser through the display 130. For example, after the user opens the web browser BR, the web browser BR directly displays the home page, for example. As shown in FIG. 3, the opened web browser BR is Google Chrome, and the set home page is the Google search engine, but the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the user can also open other web browsers BR, and the opened web browser BR can also display other homepages or only display blank pages and so on.

In step S202, the processor 110 determines whether a bookmark is recorded in the storage element 120. The method of recording bookmarks in the storage device 120 will be described in the following description.

If the processor 110 determines in step S202 that there is a recorded bookmark in the storage element 120, it proceeds to step S203. On the contrary, if the processor 110 determines in step S202 that no bookmark has been recorded in the storage element 120, it proceeds to step S205.

In step S203, the processor 110 displays the bookmarks recorded in the storage element 120 together in the web browser. As shown in FIG. 4, in addition to displaying the home page (for example, Google search engine) in the web browser BR, the processor 110 further displays the three bookmarks recorded in the storage element 120 in the three bookmark windows in the web browser BR Within FR. It is worth mentioning that the present invention does not limit the number, position and sorting method of the displayed bookmarks or bookmark panes FR. Those with ordinary knowledge in the art can design or let the users set it according to their needs.

In some embodiments, the processor 110 displays each bookmark in the bookmark pane FR of the web browser BR, for example, by displaying a screenshot of the specific web page corresponding to the bookmark in the storage element 120 in the web browser BR One of the bookmark pane FR. In some embodiments, the processor 110 displays a bookmark in the web browser BR by, for example, linking according to the URL information of the specific webpage corresponding to the bookmark to obtain the current page of the specific webpage, and then the specific The current page of the web page is displayed in a bookmark pane FR of the web browser BR. In particular, the current page displayed in the bookmark pane is, for example, an actual webpage displayed by directly opening a specific webpage in the bookmark pane. Therefore, the content of the current page in the bookmark pane FR may change due to the automatic update of a specific web page, and may also include dynamic images and so on. In other words, the bookmark displayed in the bookmark pane FR of the web browser BR may be in the form of a page screenshot or the form of the current page, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

In step S204, the processor 110 determines whether the bookmark is clicked. Specifically, after step S203, the user can click on any bookmark pane FR that displays a bookmark (for example, through the input element 150), and the flow proceeds to step S213 after clicking. In step S213, the processor 110 will link through the network module 140 according to the URL information of the bookmark corresponding to the clicked bookmark pane FR to obtain the current page corresponding to the URL information, and in the web browser BR The current page is displayed in. On the other hand, after step S203, the user may proceed to step S205 without clicking on the bookmark pane FR.

In step S205, the processor 110 detects the search keyword in the web browser. Specifically, if the user does not click on the bookmark pane FR but enters the search keyword KW through the web browser BR, the processor 110 will detect the search keyword KW in the web browser BR in step S205 And then go to step S206. In step S206, the processor 110 determines whether at least one bookmark corresponding to the search keyword is recorded in the storage element 120.

If the processor 110 determines that there is no bookmark corresponding to the search keyword in the storage element 120, it proceeds to step S209 to directly display the search result. As shown in FIG. 5, when the user enters the search keyword KW "typhoon" and the processor 110 determines that there is no bookmark corresponding to the search keyword KW "typhoon" in the storage element 120, the search key is displayed in the web browser BR The search result RST corresponding to the word KW "typhoon".

Subsequently, in step S210, the processor 110 displays on the browsing tab corresponding to the search keyword. Specifically, the user can perform various operations on the browsing tab corresponding to the search keyword KW to find the information he needs. The browsing tab corresponding to the search keyword KW refers to the browsing tab displayed or opened based on the operation of the search keyword KW. For example, the page displaying the search result RST corresponding to the search keyword KW can be regarded as the browsing page corresponding to the search keyword KW; from the above page displaying the search result RST, a new page is opened to continuously add pages And display the webpage, then the newly added page can also be regarded as the search page corresponding to the search keyword KW.

As shown in FIG. 6, the search result RST corresponding to the search keyword KW "typhoon" is displayed on the page PG1, for example, and the user clicks the CLK in the page PG1 displaying the search result RST to open the page PG2 (for example, open a new Page PG2 to display the search results of "Typhoon Dynamic Map"), click CLK in page PG2 to switch pages in page PG2 (for example, in page PG2 to the website of Central Meteorological Administration), and then in page PG2 Click CLK to open the page PG3 (for example, open a new page PG3 to display the homepage of the Executive Office of the Executive Yuan). Since the tabs PG1, PG2, and PG3 are all browsing tabs displayed or opened based on the operation of the search keyword KW "Typhoon", the tabs PG1, PG2, and PG3 can all be regarded as browsing tabs corresponding to the search keyword KW "Typhoon".

In step S211, the processor 110 records the last page displayed in the browsing tab as the bookmark corresponding to the search keyword. Specifically, the processor 110 detects whether the browsing tab (eg, pages PG1, PG2, and PG3) is closed, and records the last page displayed by the browsing tab as the search keyword when the browsing tab is closed The corresponding bookmark is then closed in step S212.

Taking FIG. 6 as an example, if paging PG3 is closed (for example, when a close paging instruction is received from the user), the last page displayed is the web page of the "Personnel Administration Office of the Executive Yuan", then the processor 110 will first Record this page as the bookmark corresponding to the search keyword KW "Typhoon" in the storage element 120, and then close the paging PG3. In some embodiments, the processor 110 records the website information of the last page when recording the bookmark (for example, the website URL of the "Personnel Administration Office of the Executive Yuan" https://www.dgpa.gov.tw/ typh/daily/nds.html). In some embodiments, the processor 110 records a page screenshot of the last page (for example, a screenshot of the paged PG3 shown in FIG. 6) when recording the bookmark.

Returning to step S206, if the processor 110 determines that at least one bookmark corresponding to the search keyword is recorded in the storage element 120, it proceeds to step S207 to simultaneously display the bookmark corresponding to the search keyword and the search result. As shown in FIG. 7, if the processor 110 determines that the bookmark corresponding to the search keyword KW "Typhoon" is recorded in the storage element 120, the search result corresponding to the search keyword KW "Typhoon" is displayed in the web browser BR RST, and display at least one bookmark pane FR to display at least one bookmark corresponding to the search keyword KW "Typhoon". The way to display the bookmark in the bookmark pane FR is, for example, to display a screenshot of the page or the current page. The relevant description has been introduced in the preceding paragraph, so it will not be repeated here.

In step S208, the processor 110 determines whether the bookmark is clicked. Specifically, after step S207, the user can click on any bookmark pane FR that displays a bookmark (for example, through the input element 150), and the flow proceeds to step S213 after clicking. In step S213, the processor 110 will link through the network module 140 according to the web address information of the bookmark corresponding to the clicked bookmark pane FR to obtain the current page corresponding to the web address information, and in the web browser BR Show it. On the other hand, after step S207, the user may proceed to step S210 without clicking on the bookmark pane FR.

In summary, the bookmark application method of the web browser and the electronic device using the method provided by the embodiments of the present invention, after the user enters the search keyword, the browsing tab corresponding to the search keyword is displayed when it is closed The last page of is automatically recorded as a bookmark for this search keyword. In this way, the bookmark can reflect the information that the user really needs when typing the search keyword. In some embodiments, after the user enters the search keyword, the web browser will display the bookmark corresponding to the search keyword and the search result at the same time, so the user can quickly obtain the required information according to the displayed bookmark and improve the use Experience.
