Abstract

A method of displaying a web document is provided. The method includes: receiving a signal containing a request for displaying predetermined marks representing components of the web document; and depending on whether or not the signal is received, displaying the predetermined marks representing the components of the web document, whereby the user can easily select a link and an input window only using a remote controller.

Claims

1. A method of displaying a web document comprising:

(a) receiving a signal containing a request for displaying predetermined marks representing respective components of the web document; and

(b) if the signal is received in operation (a), displaying predetermined marks representing the respective components of the web document.

2. The method according to claim 1,

wherein, in the operation (b), the predetermined marks representing the respective components are displayed in a window separate from the displayed image of the web document, and

wherein the predetermined marks are numeric or letter marks.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein, in the operation (b), the components displayed in the separated window are sorted in the order of component names, times when the components are inserted into the web document, or locations of the components.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein, in the operation (b), the predetermined marks are displayed at positions corresponding to those of the components of the web document.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the components are links representing addresses of websites different from the website providing the web document.

6. The method according to claim 5, further comprising:

connecting to the website represented by a link selected by a user from among the displayed links.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the components are input windows receiving information, from a user, necessary for a task processing.

8. The method according to claim 7, further comprising:

processing the task on the information input to the input window selected among the displayed input windows by the user,.

9. A consumer electronics device comprising:

a signal receiving unit receiving a signal containing a request for displaying predetermined marks representing components of a web document; and

a display unit displaying the predetermined marks representing the components of the web document if the signal is received.

10. The consumer electronics device according to claim 9, wherein the components are links representing addresses of websites different from the website providing the web document, or input windows receiving information necessary for a task processing from a user.

11. A computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a computer program for a method of displaying a web document, the method comprising:

receiving a signal containing a request for displaying predetermined marks representing respective components of the web document; and

if the signal is received, displaying predetermined marks representing the respective components of the web document.

12. A remote controlling method comprising:

(a) generating a signal containing a request for displaying predetermined marks representing respective components of a web document; and

(b) transmitting the generated signal.

13. The remote controlling method according to claim 12, wherein the components are links representing addresses of websites different from the website providing the web document.

14. The remote controlling method according to claim 13, wherein, in the operation (a), when the user selects a link key associated with a request for displaying the predetermined marks representing the links, a link key signal of the request for displaying the predetermined marks representing the links is generated.

15. The remote controlling method according to claim 12, wherein the components are input windows receiving information, from a user, necessary for a task processing.

16. The remote controlling method according to claim 15, wherein, in the operation (a), when the user selects an input key to request to display the predetermined marks representing the input windows, an input key signal requesting display of the predetermined marks representing the input windows is generated.

17. A remote controller comprising:

a signal generation unit generating a signal containing a request for displaying predetermined marks representing respective components of a web document; and

a signal transmission unit transmitting the generated signal.

18. The remote controller according to claim 17, wherein the components are links representing addresses of websites different from the website providing the web document, or input windows receiving information necessary for a task processing from a user.

19. A computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a computer program for a remote controlling method, the method comprising:

generating a signal containing a request for displaying predetermined marks representing respective components of a web document; and

transmitting the generated signal.
