Definitions

  • This invention relates to the field of message inputting on terminals. More particularly, the invention relates to a method for sharing web addresses when inputting a message on a terminal.
  • Recent terminals more especially mobile terminals such as smartphones, are able to browse the internet, and the users often want to share web addresses, i.e. addresses of pages they have encountered, under the form of the URLs (Uniform Resource Locator) of these pages, generally called “links” , for instance https: //boutique. orange. fr/nouveautes/nouvel-iphone/ .
  • URLs Uniform Resource Locator
  • input methods used for drafting messages such as SMS or e-mails on a terminal are adapted for natural language, i.e. words separated by spaces, and absolutely not for URLs which have a complex and unusual structure.
  • some websites or applications implement “sharing” buttons causing the URL to be copied in the clipboard, which enables the user to paste it in the message. In the absence of such a button, the user can also manually highlight the address and copy it in the clipboard.
  • the present invention provides a method for inserting a web address in a message on a terminal, the method comprising the following steps, performed by a processing unit of the terminal:
  • this allows directly providing the user with candidate web addresses among which he just has to choose. There no need for cumbersome typing/voicing of the address, or for multiple switching of applications up to retrieve the web address to be shared.
  • the method further comprises displaying, on a screen of the terminal the retrieved set of at least one web address for selection by a user, the inserted web address being the web address selected by the user;
  • the set of at least one web address stored in the terminal comprises at least one web address used in an opened tab of at least one web browser installed on the terminal;
