Abstract

A portable terminal includes an apparatus capable of performing a method for displaying a web page. When an event requesting a movement of a display region is input, an estimated moving point of a display region is checked based on the event, a tag closest to the estimated moving point among a plurality of tags included in a source code of the web page is determined, and the display region is displayed on using the tag as a boundary.

Claims

1. An apparatus for displaying a web page in a portable terminal, the portable terminal comprising:

a display unit; and

a controller configured to check an estimated moving point of a display region based on an event requesting a movement of the display region when the event is input, to determine a tag closest to the estimated moving point among a plurality of tags included in a source code of the web page, and to display the display region on the display unit using the tag as a boundary.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the tag is an identifier configured to identify a category included in the web page.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the event includes at least one of a pupil motion of a user, a flick of any one of a user'"'"'s finger and a stylus pen, and a finger motion of a user.

4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the event includes a pupil motion of a user;

and

wherein the controller is further configured to move the display region of the web page in a moving direction of the pupil when the user'"'"'s pupil moves in a specific direction and then stops for a predetermined time.

5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the display region indicates a region displayed on a screen of the portable terminal in the web page.

6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the controller displays the display region so as to include a category corresponding to the tag.

7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the controller displays the display region so as not to include a category corresponding to the tag.

8. A method of displaying a web page in a portable terminal, the method comprising:

when the event requesting a movement of a display region is input, checking an estimated moving point of the display region based on the event;

determining a tag closest to the estimated moving point among a plurality of tags included in a source code of the web page; and

displaying the display region using the tag as a boundary.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the tag is an identifier for identifying a category included in the web page.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the event includes at least one of a pupil motion of a user, a flick of any one of a user'"'"'s finger and a stylus pen, and a finger motion of a user.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the event includes a pupil motion of a user;

and

the method further comprising moving the display region of the web page in a moving direction of the pupil when the user'"'"'s pupil moves in a specific direction and then stops for a predetermined time.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein the display region indicates a region displayed on a screen of the portable terminal in the web page.

13. The method of claim 8, wherein in the displaying of the display region using the tag as a boundary, the display region is displayed so as to include a category corresponding to the tag.

14. The method of claim 8, wherein in the displaying of the display region using the tag as a boundary, the display region is displayed so as not to include a category corresponding to the tag.

15. The method of claim 8, further comprising checking the estimated moving point, wherein the estimated moving point corresponds to the tag checked within the web page.

16. A portable terminal configured to displaying a web page, the portable terminal comprising:

a wireless transceiver configured to transmit and receive data;

a display unit; and

a controller configured to check an estimated moving point of a display region based on an event requesting a movement of the display region, to determine a tag closest to the estimated moving point among a plurality of tags included in a source code of the web page, and to display the display region on the display unit using the tag as a boundary, when the event is input.

17. The portable terminal of claim 16, wherein the tag is an identifier configured to identify a category included in the web page.

18. The portable terminal of claim 16, wherein the event includes at least one of a pupil motion of a user, a flick of any one of a user'"'"'s finger and a stylus pen, and a finger motion of a user.

19. The portable terminal of claim 16, wherein the display region indicates a region displayed on a screen of the portable terminal in the web page.

20. The portable terminal of claim 16, wherein the controller displays the display region so as to include a category corresponding to the tag.
