Abstract

An electronic device, a method, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium are disclosed. The electronic device includes a communication circuit, a memory, a display, and at least one processor. The memory is configured to store an application. The at least one processor is configured to receive data about a web page through the application using the communication circuit. The at least one processor is also configured to receive an input for creating a shortcut to the web page. The at least one processor is further configured to encrypt at least a part of the data about the web page that includes a uniform resource identifier (URI) of the web page, based on the input. The at least one processor is also configured to create the shortcut to the web page associated with the encrypted data.

Claims

1. An electronic device comprising:

a communication circuit;

a memory configured to store an application;

a display; and

at least one processor operably coupled to the communication circuit, the memory, and the display,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to;

receive data about a web page through the application using the communication circuit;

receive an input for creating a shortcut to the web page;

encrypt at least a part of the data about the web page that includes a uniform resource identifier (URI) of the web page, based on the input; and

create the shortcut to the web page associated with the encrypted data.

2. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

obtain the data about the web page based on a web application manifest corresponding to the web page.

3. The electronic device of claim 2, wherein the web application manifest corresponding to the web page includes an icon and a name of the shortcut, and

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

create the shortcut using the icon and the name.

4. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

output, on the display, a user interface including an option for selecting whether to perform the encryption; and

encrypt the at least a part of the data about the web page if the option is selected.

5. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

encrypt the at least a part of the data about the web page if the processor accesses the web page while the application is executed in a secret mode.

6. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

obtain the data about the web page that includes the URI of the web page, information about an icon of the web page, and information about a name of the web page; and

change the information about the icon of the web page and the information about the name of the web page.

7. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

set an icon and a name of the shortcut to a specified icon and a specified name.

8. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

check safety of the web page before access to the web page.

9. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

dispose the shortcut on a screen output on the display;

perform authentication on a user of the electronic device if an input is applied to the shortcut output on the display; and

output the web page on the display through the application if the authentication is completed.

10. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

authenticate the user of the electronic device using at least one of biometric information, a personal identification number (PIN), or an authentication pattern.

11. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

automatically enter an ID and a password for logging in to the web page if the authentication is completed.

12. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

decode the encrypted data about the web page if the authentication is completed.

13. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

check safety of the web page if the authentication is completed.

14. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

execute the application in a secret mode if the authentication is completed.

15. A method for creating a shortcut to a web page in an electronic device, the method comprising:

accessing the web page through an application from a server;

obtaining data about the web page that includes a URI of the web page;

encrypting at least a part of the data about the web page; and

creating a shortcut to the web page associated with the encrypted data.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the obtaining of the data includes:

obtaining the data about the web page based on a web application manifest corresponding to the web page.

17. The method of claim 15, further comprising:

outputting a user interface including an option for selecting whether to perform the encryption,

wherein the encrypting of the at least a part of the data includes;

encrypting the at least a part of the data about the web page if the option is selected.

18. The method of claim 15, wherein the encrypting of the at least a part of the data includes:

encrypting the at least a part of the data about the web page if the electronic device accesses the web page while the application is executed in a secret mode.

19. The method of claim 15, wherein the obtaining of the data comprises:

obtaining the data about the web page that includes the URI of the web page, information about an icon of the web page, and information about a name of the web page, and

wherein the encrypting of the at least a part of the data comprises;

changing the information about the icon of the web page and the information about the name of the web page.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a computer program, the computer program comprising computer readable program code that when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to:

access a web page through an application from a server;

obtain data about the web page that includes a URI of the web page;

encrypt at least a part of the data about the web page; and

create a shortcut to the web page associated with the encrypted data.
