Abstract

A home page moving method and device therefor are provided. The home page moving method includes the steps of (a) receiving main home page data from a source server in which the home page data to be moved is stored, (b) extracting data requiring modification from the received data, (c) converting the extracted data into a format suited for the destination server by referring to a mapping table for storing mapping relationships, which are based on the environments of the source server and the destination server, and (d) transferring and transplanting home page data, including the converted data, to the destination server. The home page moving method can quickly move the home page from one server to another server without manual modification.

Claims

1. A home page moving method for moving a home page from one server to another server, comprising the steps of:

(a) receiving main home page data from a source server in which home page data to be moved is stored;

(b) extracting data requiring modification from the received data;

(c) converting the extracted data into a format suited for a destination server by referring to a mapping table for storing mapping relationships, said mapping relationships are determined by the environments of the source server and the destination server; and

(d) transferring and transplanting data including the converted data to the destination server.

2. The home page moving method of

claim 1

, prior to the step (d), further comprising the steps of:

(pd-1) determining whether or not a next page exists in a hierarchical manner;

(pd-2) if it is determined that a next page exists in the step (pd-1), sending a request for the corresponding page to the source server;

(pd-3) receiving the requested page from the source server; and

(pd-4) if it is determined that a next page does not exist in the step (pd-1), proceeding with the step (d).

3. The home page moving method of

claim 2

, wherein, in the step (pd-1), when a uniform resource locator (URL) is detected, it is determined that a next page exists in a hierarchical manner.

4. A computer-readable recording medium in which a computer program for performing a home page moving method for moving a home page from one server to another server is stored, the computer program comprising instructions for performing a home page moving method including the steps of:

(a) receiving main home page data from a source server in which home page data is stored;

(b) extracting data requiring modification from the received data;

(c) converting the extracted data into a format suited for the destination server by referring to a mapping table for storing mapping relationships, said mapping relationships are determined by the environments of the source server and the destination server; and

(d) transferring and transplanting data, including the converted data, to the destination server.

5. The computer readable recording medium of

claim 4

, wherein the instructions include program codes.

6. The computer-readable recording medium of

claim 4

, wherein, prior to the step (d), the home page moving method further comprises the steps of:

(pd-1) determining whether or not a next page exists in a hierarchical manner;

(pd-2) if it is determined that a next page exists in the step (pd-1), sending a request for the corresponding page to the source server;

(pd-3) receiving the requested page from the source server; and

(pd-4) if it is determined that a next page does not exist in the step (pd-1), proceeding with the step (d).

7. The computer-readable recording medium of

claim 6

, wherein, in the step (pd-1), when a uniform resource locator (URL) is detected, it is determined that the next page exists in a hierarchical manner.

8. A device comprising:

a mapping table for mapping home page data stored in a source server into home page data to be stored in a destination server based on the environments of a common gateway interface (CGI), a database, a bulletin board of the source server, and a bulletin board of the destination server; and

a data converter for converting the home page data stored in the source server into a format suited for the destination server by referring to the mapping table.

9. The device of

claim 8

, further comprising a data transceiver for receiving the home page data from the source server and transmitting data, including the converted data, to the destination server.
