Title: Method and system for providing interface of web page

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates to a method and system for providing an interface of a web page, and in particular, to a method and system for providing an interface of a web page capable of providing a small-sized web page including a portion of web page information in a terminal including a display having a limited size. 
     2. Description of the Related Art 
     Currently, terminals having various sizes have been used in a communication system. An example of the terminal used in the communication system may include a personal computer (PC), a notebook, a wired telephone, a cellular phone, a portable multimedia player (PMP); a digital multimedia broadcasting player (DMB player), a smart phone, an ultra mobile PC (UMPC), etc. 
     Further, in the communication system, a service area of web browsing services has been gradually extended with the development of a data transmitting and receiving technology and the extension of Internet and a personal computer and other terminals tend to provide web browsing services. 
     First, a case where a personal computer provides web browsing services will be described with reference to  FIG. 1 . 
       FIG. 1  is a diagram showing a display screen of a person computer that provides general web browsing services. 
     Referring to  FIG. 1 , a display screen  120  for a personal computer, which receives the entire web page  110  and the web browsing services according to the provision of the web browsing services, is shown. 
     The entire web page  110  has an area lager than an area read through an actual display device, such that the display device of the personal computer can read only some areas of the entire web page  110 . 
     The area size read in the personal computer, that is, the display resolution is 1024×768 as one example, which is sufficient to acquire significant information within one reading area and the web page is fabricated to be able to be conveniently read in the display area having resolution of 1024×768, such that the web browsing services can be easily provided to a user. 
     As such, the personal computer has a sufficient sized reading area, such that the web browsing services can be easily provided to a user using the web page displayed on the personal computer screen. 
     However, all the current terminals do not necessarily include the display device having a sufficient reading area such as the personal computer. In particular, a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone is limited in terms of its size due to characteristics of portability and mobility, such that the mobile terminal includes a display device having a limited size. 
     A case where the terminal including the display device having a limited size, for example, the mobile terminal provides the web browsing services will be described with reference to  FIG. 2 . 
       FIG. 2  is a diagram showing a display screen for a mobile terminal that provides general web browsing services. 
     Referring to  FIG. 2 , the display screen  120  for the mobile terminal, which receives the entire web page  210  and the web browsing services according to the provision of the web browsing services, is shown. 
     The mobile terminal has, for example, display resolution of 432×240 much lower than the personal computer. Therefore, the mobile terminal cannot read the entire web page  210  at one time and is largely insufficient to acquire significant information within one reading area. Further, the web page is not also fabricated to meet the corresponding area size, such that it is difficult to provide the web browsing services to the user. 
     In addition, it is more difficult for the terminals having the display device smaller than the mobile terminal to provide the web browsing services to the user. 
     Currently, the web browsing system uses the following method to provide the web browsing services to the terminal including the display device having a limited size such as the mobile terminal. 
     First, the web browsing system provides the web browsing services to meet the width (breadth) of the entire web page to the width of the reading area of the display device having a limited size for the terminal. At this time, the terminal can read the web page without moving the reading area left and right such as reading the web page in the personal computer, but may be hard to read the web page since the width of the web page considered at the time of designing the web page is excessively narrow. 
     Second, the web browsing system independently sets the width of the web page and the width of the reading area in the entire web page, respectively, to provide the web browsing services to the terminal. At this time, the width of the web page is wider than 
     Third, the web browsing system should read the entire web page by reducing it a predetermined magnification. In this case, if the entire web page is appropriately reduced in the reading area, the contents of the web page can be more read. However, since a letter is reduced, such that it is difficult to read the contents of the web page. 
     Each of the web browsing service methods has disadvantages, such that it is difficult to use the web page at a level such as a personal computer. 
     In particular, when a terminal having a small-sized display device displays a web page, most contents of the web page are actually out of the reading area of the display device, such that it is difficult to acquire or use information or the contents of the web page are reduced, such that it is difficult for a user to identify the contents.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be noted that only a portion necessary to help the operation according to the present invention will be described below and the remaining description will be omitted not to obscure the subject of the present invention. 
     The present invention provides a method and system for providing an interface of a web page. In particular, the present invention provides a method and system for providing an interface of a web page capable of providing a small-sized web page including a portion of web page information, that is, a pagelet together with a web page. 
     For convenience of explanation, a terminal including a display device having a limited size may be, for example, a mobile terminal, etc., such as a cellular phone. However, the present invention can be applied to the mobile terminal as well as all the terminals having a display device. In addition, the present invention can be applied to all the wired and wireless communication systems capable of providing web browsing services. 
     The pagelet is a small-sized web page including a portion of web page information, for example, a function of searching a web page, a web site link in a web page, main content summary information of a web page. The pagelet summarizes a main function of a web page and is logically included in the web page. In addition, the pagelet may further include specific information selected by a terminal within the web page or information specialized in the terminal. 
     The pagelet is controlled by the reading area movement of the web page other than the pagelet and the screen control operation independent of the screen control operation such as the content zoom-in/zoom-out, etc. In other words, when the web page is zoomed-in/zoomed-out, the pagelet is not zoomed-in/zoomed-out simultaneously with the web page. The terminal uses a user input separate from the web page, such as the selection of a separate key or menu, the input of a separate mouse, etc., in order to control the screen control of the pagelet. In addition, the pagelet information included in the pagelet is displayed at a preset size, that is, at a size larger than a minimum size capable of being confirmed with the naked eye of a user regardless of the size of the terminal display device. Further, the pagelet is displayed in the terminal display device and can be positioned at an upper end, a lower end, a right side, a left side, a right upper end, a left upper end, a left lower end, etc., based on the center (right center) of the display device and can be moved in the reading area of the display device. 
     The case where the terminal, for example, the mobile terminal provides the web browsing service using the pagelet will be described below with reference to  FIG. 3 . 
       FIG. 3  is a diagram showing a mobile terminal screen that provides the web browsing service using the pagelet according to the embodiment of the present invention. 
     Referring to  FIG. 3 , a mobile terminal  300  including a display device having a limited size is shown. Further, the entire web page  310  according to the provision of the web browsing service and a display screen  320  of the mobile terminal  300  receiving the web browsing service are shown. 
     Herein, the web page is displayed by reducing the entire web page at predetermined magnification to meet to the width of the reading area of the display screen  320 . For example, the entire web page can be displayed by reducing at predetermined magnification such as 75%, 50%, 25%, etc. However, the web page can be displayed by various methods in addition to a method for displaying the entire web page by reducing at predetermined magnification and the display of the web page departs from the scope of the present invention and the detailed description thereof will therefore be omitted. 
     Meanwhile, a pagelet  330  proposed in the present invention is displayed on the display screen  320 . The pagelet  330  includes, for example, a function of searching a web page, a web site link in the web page, information specialized in the mobile terminal, etc. 
     The pagelet  330  is displayed in an independent form regardless of the web page form. Herein, it is assumed that the pagelet information included in the pagelet  330  is displayed at the same size as the original size of the web page. At this time, the pagelet  330  can simultaneously confirm the contents of the web page by transparently setting a skin and can variably set transparency according to the control of the mobile terminal. In addition, the pagelet  330  can be used by zooming-out, zooming-in, and moving a size in the display screen by controlling the mobile terminal 
     Next, a system for providing an interface of a web page using the pagelet proposed in the present invention will be described with reference to  FIG. 4 . 
       FIG. 4  is a diagram showing a system structure that provides an interface of a web page using the pagelet according to the embodiment of the present invention. 
     Referring to  FIG. 4 , the system for providing an interface of a web page includes a web server  420  and a terminal  430 . The web server  420  and the terminal  430  are connected to each other through a network  410 .

     The web server  420  is installed with a web server program and the terminal  430  is installed with a web browser. The web browser  420  can be installed in the web server. 
     A method for generating the pagelet between the web server  420  and the terminal  430  will be described. 
     First, there is a method of allowing the web server  420  to generate the web page using the pagelet information included in the web page and allowing the terminal  430  receiving the web page to extract the pagelet information from the web page and to generate the pagelet. 
     Second, there is a method of allowing the web server  420  to generate the web page and the pagelet, respectively. 
     Third, there is a method of allowing the web server  420  to transmit the web page to the terminal  430  and allowing the terminal  430  to generate the pagelet using the web page. 
     Next, the structure of the web server will be described with reference to  FIG. 5 . 
       FIG. 5  is a diagram showing the web server of the system for providing an interface of a web page according to the embodiment of the present invention. 
     Referring to  FIG. 5 , the web server includes a sever controller  511 , a storage device  513 , a transmitter/receiver  515 , a web page generator  517 , and a pagelet generator  519 . 
     The storage device  513  stores programs for driving the web server and data for providing the web browsing service. In addition, data generated to perform programs are temporarily stored in the storage device  513  and the web server program for providing the web browsing service and the information for generation the web page are stored in the storage device  513 . The web browser can be stored in the storage device  513 . 
     The transmitter/receiver  515  processes signals received in the web server and signals transmitted from the web server. The transmitter/receiver  515  receives a message that requests the transmission of the web page or requests the transmission of the pagelet from the terminal and transmits the web page or the pagelet to the corresponding terminal in response to the received message. 
     The web page generator  517  generates the web page through the control of the server controller  511 . When the web page generator  517  generates the web page, it can generate the web page including the information for generating the pagelet, that is, the pagelet information. In addition, when the web page generator  517  generates the web page, it can generate the web page including the information for requesting the pagelet, that is, the pagelet request information. 
     Herein, the pagelet information is included in the pagelet when generating the pagelet and the pagelet request information is information used for requesting the transmission of the pagelet to the web server. 
     The pagelet information includes, for example, the search function related information of the web page, the web site link information in the web page, the web page main content summary information, the information specialized in the terminal, etc. The information specialized in the terminal includes, for example, the advertisement information based on the terminal position, etc. The advertisement information based on the terminal position includes advertisement information on a place such as a theater, a restaurant, etc., at which the terminal is positioned.

In addition, the advertisement information based on the terminal position can be used in the mobile terminal, etc. 
     The advertisement information based on the position information can be included in the pagelet rather than being included in all the web pages. The terminal transmits the position information of the terminal to the web server through the web browser using the web page request signal when the position of the current terminal can be confirmed. The web server transmits the pagelet including the advertisement information based on the position of the terminal to the terminal. 
     The pagelet request information includes pagelet reference information that can request the pagelet such as a uniform resource locator (hereinafter, referred to as ‘URL’), etc., that can request the pagelet. 
     The pagelet generator  519  generates the pagelet through the control of the server controller  511 . If the pagelet information is included when generating the web page in the web page generator  517 , the pagelet generator  519  generates the pagelet information and can provide it to the web page generator  517 . In addition, when generating the pagelet in the terminal, the pagelet generator  519  cannot be included in the web server. 
     The server controller  511  controls the overall operation of the web server. When the server controller  511  receives the web page transmission request message or the pagelet transmission request message from the terminal through the transmitter and receiver  515 , it controls the transmitter and receiver  515  to transmit the web page or pagelet to the terminal in response to the message. 
     The server controller  511  can control to store the web page and the pagelet generated from the web page generator  517  and the pagelet generator  519  in the storage device  513 . In addition, when requesting the web page or the pagelet from the terminal, the server controller controls to transmit the web page or the pagelet stored in the storage device  515  to the terminal through the transmitter and receiver  515 . 
     Next, the structure of the terminal will be described with reference to  FIG. 6 .

     The memory  613  can be configured to include a program memory and a data memory. The program memory stores programs for controlling a general operation of the terminal and programs for providing the web page or the pagelet. Data generated during the execution of programs are temporarily stored in the data memory and in particular, data for displaying the pagelet according to the embodiment of the present invention are temporarily stored in the data memory. In addition, the web browser can be stored in the memory  613 . 
     The transmitter and receiver  615  processes the operation of transmitting and receiving signals, transmits a message requesting the transmission of the web page or pagelet, and receives the web page or pagelet in response to the transmitted message. 
     The audio device  617  reproduces audio signals to output them through a speaker or process transmission audio signals generated from a mike. 
     The user input device  619  can be configured of a keypad, a touch screen, etc. and when a button is pressed or touched by a user, transmits user input signals to the terminal controller  611 . 
     The display device  621  can be configured of a liquid crystal display (LCD), etc. and displays display data generated during the execution of the terminal function under the control of the controller. In addition, the display device  621  displays the pagelet including a portion of the web page information and the web page. When the pagelet is displayed on the display device  621 , it can be displayed to be separate from the web page on an area on one display device or can be displayed to be overlapped with the web page thereon. Further, when the display device  621  is divided into, for example, two or more hardware, the web page can be displayed on a first display device and the pagelet can be displayed on a second display device. 
     The pagelet generator  623  generates the pagelet using the web page received through the control of the server controller  611 . In addition, the pagelet generator  623  generates the pagelet using the pagelet information when the web page received from the web server includes the pagelet information. When receiving the pagelet from the web server, the pagelet generator  623  cannot be included in the terminal. 
     The terminal controller  611  controls the overall operation of the terminal. The terminal controller  611  transmits the message requesting the transmission of the web page or pagelet through the transmitter and receiver  615  and receives the web page or pagelet in response to the message. 
     The terminal controller  611  generates the pagelet using the pagelet information when the pagelet information is included in the received web page. Moreover, the terminal controller  611  generates the pagelet through the pagelet generator  623  when the pagelet information is not included in the received web page. When the pagelet request information is included in the web page, the terminal controller  611  generates the pagelet transmission request message requesting the transmission of the pagelet to the web server using the pagelet request information. Herein, the pagelet request information includes the pagelet reference information that can request the pagelet, for example, pagelet, URL, etc. Thereafter, the terminal controller  611  transmits the generated pagelet request message to the web server through the transmitter and receiver  615 . 
     The terminal controller  611  displays the web page on the display device  621  and displays the received pagelet or the pagelet generated inside the terminal on the display device  621 . 
     Next, the operation of the web server and terminal that provide an interface of a web page using the pagelet will be described with reference to  FIGS. 7 and 8 . 
       FIG. 7  is a signal flowchart showing the operation of the web server and terminal that provide an interface of a web page using the pagelet according to a first embodiment of the present invention. 
     Referring to  FIG. 7 , the terminal transmits the messages requesting the transmission of the web server to the web server (step  711 ). 
     If the web server requests the messages requesting the transmission of the web page from the terminal, it transmits the web page in response to the received message (step  713 ). 
     Herein, the web server generates at least one of the pagelet information and the pagelet request information in response to the web page and transmits the generated pagelet information and the pagelet request information to the terminal. If there is a terminal that does not support the display of the pagelet, the web server does not transmit the pagelet information or the pagelet request information. The web server receives the information for generating the pagelet in response to the web page from the web page provider and generates the pagelet using the same. 
     If the terminal receives the web page, it confirms whether the pagelet information is included in the web page. As the confirmation result, when the pagelet information is included in the web page, the pagelet information is extracted. The terminal generates the pagelet using the extracted pagelet information and displays the generated pagelet. As the confirmation result, when the pagelet information is not included in the web page, the terminal uses the web page to generate the pagelet and displays the generated pagelet. 
       FIG. 8  is a signal flowchart showing the operation of the web server and terminal that provide an interface of a web page using the pagelet according to a second embodiment of the present invention. 
     Referring to  FIG. 8 , the terminal transmits the messages requesting the transmission of the web server to the web server (step  811 ). 
     If the web server requests the messages requesting the transmission of the web page from the terminal, it transmits the web page in response to the received message (step  813 ). 
     The web server transmits only the web page to the terminal or transmits the information for requesting the pagelet transmission, that is, the web page including the pagelet request information. 
     The terminal transmits the messages requesting the pagelet transmission to the web server (step  815 ). The terminal transmits the messages requesting the pagelet transmission using the pagelet request information when the pagelet request information is included in the web page received from the web server. 
     When the web server receives the pagelet transmission request message from the terminal, the web server transmits the pagelet to the terminal in response to the pagelet transmission request (step  817 ). 
     The terminal receiving the pagelet displays the pagelet on the terminal. 
     In  FIGS. 7 and 8 , the web server can previously generate and store the web page and the pagelet therein or can generate the web page and the pagelet when the web page and pagelet are requested from the terminal. 
     Further, when the pagelet is displayed on the display device of the terminal, that is, the display device, the terminal can display the pagelet at any one of a point in time when the web page is displayed, a point in time when the key input for displaying the pagelet exists, a point in time when the menu selection for displaying the pagelet exists, and a point in time when the value of the pagelet display locator included in the pagelet information is indicated. 
     Herein, the pagelet display locator specifies a point in time when the pagelet is displayed and a specifiable point in time may include a point in time when the web page is displayed, a point in time when the specific key input exists, a point in time when the menu selection exists, etc. A method of specifying a point in time can use a method of using the additional attribute of a pagelet tag such as &lt;pagelet autoshow=“true”&gt; &lt;pagelet&gt;. This case is expressed to display the pagelet when the web page is displayed on the terminal. 
     In particular, when the terminal displays the pagelet, the pagelet is displayed to have a size larger than a minimum size capable of being identified with the naked eye of a user. As one example, the pagelet is displayed at the same size as the original size of the web page. 
     Meanwhile, although the foregoing description mainly describes the web server, the web server can be replaced with the storage medium or another server that can provide the information for generating the pagelet or the pagelet. 
     The operation of transmitting and receiving the pagelet information or pagelet for the pagelet display will be described below. 
     First, the pagelet information can be included in the web page using a hypertext markup language (hereinafter, referred to as ‘HTML’). Herein, a case where the pagelet information is included in the web page using the HTML will be described with reference to  FIG. 9 . 
       FIG. 9  is a diagram showing an HTML code into which the pagelet information is inserted, according to the embodiment of the present invention. 
     Referring to  FIG. 9 , the HTML is one kind of basic programming languages used for creating web documents and an instruction word used for the HTML is referred to a tag. The tag is configured of two pairs that represent start and end. 
     The web server uses the HTML surrounded by a specific tag within the web page configured of the HTML to include the pagelet information  910 . 
     Thereby, the pagelet information  910  is included in the HTML code. 
     When the web browser of the terminal requesting the web page intends to receive the pagelet information  910 , if a user agent character string of the web page request message includes a character called ‘pagelet’, the web server includes the web page including the pagelet information. 
     In addition, when the web browser of the terminal requesting the web page does not include the character called ‘pagelet’ in the user agent character string, the web server generates the web page not including the pagelet information. 
     As described above, when transmitting the message requesting the pagelet that includes the information requesting the generation of the pagelet, the web server can transmit the web page selectively including the pagelet information  910 . 
     The web server used the tag called ‘pagelet’ for the pagelet information  910  in the HTML code Therefore, when the pagelet information is included in the web page, that is, inside the HTML, the analyzer of the web browser should be modified or changed to be able to extract the pagelet information  910  from the web browser of the terminal. 
     Second, the pagelet information can be included in the web page using iframe of the web page. 
     When the iframe exists in the web page, a portion, which does not use the HTML, exists in the iframe. The web server can transmit the pagelet information included in the portion, which does not use the HTML, to the terminal. 
     The iframe including the pagelet information can be classified into ‘iframe for pagelet’ and since the iframe uses a separate URL from the web page, it can be independently managed from the web page. 
     When the web server uses the iframe, the terminal analyzes the web page using the web page analyzer and the pagelet information can be analyzed using a simple analyzer. 
     In particular, when the web browser is based on a server, the web server analyzes the web page and transmit the properly converted information to the terminal and the pagelet information can be analyzed using the simplified analyzer mounted on the terminal. 
     Third, there is a method that inserts an application programming interface (hereinafter, referred to as ‘API’) or a script object related to the pagelet in the web page using the web browser. 
     When the web page is driven in the web browser of the terminal, the web browser of the terminal confirms whether the application programming interface or the script object related to the pagelet is in the web page using Javascript, etc. As the confirmation result, when there is the application programming interface or the script object related to the pagelet, the terminal can receive the pagelet information from the web server and transmit the pagelet information generated inside the web page to the web browser using eXtensible Markup Language Hypertext Transfer Protocol Request (hereinafter, referred to as ‘XML HTTP Request’) that is used in Asynchronous Javascript and eXtensible Markup Language (hereinafter, referred to as ‘Ajax’). 
     Fourth, the terminal can request the pagelet to the web server using a uniform resource locator of the web page. For example, when the uniform resource locator of the web page is ‘http://www.aaa.com/sample.htm’, the uniform resource location requesting the pagelet using the uniform resource locator is set as ‘http://www.aaa.com/sample.pg1’, such that it can be used to request the pagelet. When the web server generates and stores the pagelet and receives the pagelet request using the uniform resource locator from the terminal, it transmits the stored pagelet to the terminal. 
     Fifth, only the web page is received inside the terminal to generate the pagelet from the web page. In this case, the web server does not perform the operation of generating the separate pagelet. 
     The five operations of transmitting and receiving the pagelet information or pagelet for the pagelet display are described by way of example only and therefore, the present embodiment is not limited thereto. 
     Meanwhile, the pagelet may include the additional information specialized in the terminal. The additional contents specialized in the terminal may be a portion of the web page providing information or information additionally generated with reference to the web page in the terminal. 
     The pagelet is logically connected with the web page, but displayed on the display independent of the web page. In addition, the terminal displays the pagelet having a previously set size or more, such that it can provide the web browsing service to the user without being affected by the display device having a limited size. 
     The pagelet is independently displayed from the web page and is a summary version or a core function abridged version of the web page. Herein, the pagelet information included in the pagelet is displayed to have a size larger than a minimum size capable of being confirmed with the naked eye of the user. 
     As described above, the preferred embodiments have been described and illustrated in the drawings and the description. Herein, specific terms have been used, but are just used for the purpose of describing the present invention and are not used for defining the meaning or limiting the scope of the present invention, which is disclosed in the appended claims.
