Abstract

An apparatus and method of composing a web document and an apparatus to set a web document arrangement are provided. The apparatus to compose a web document includes a generation module which generates a plurality of frames by analyzing a source of a web document, a composition module which arranges the generated frames using a predetermined frame arrangement mode, and an output module which displays the arranged frames on a screen.

Claims

1. An apparatus including a processor to set a web document arrangement, the apparatus comprising:

the processor to control one or more processor-executable modules;

a menu providing module providing a setting menu to set a frame arrangement mode of arranging a plurality of frames on a screen, the frames being generated by analyzing a source of a web document;

an arrangement module arranging the frames using a predetermined frame arrangement mode so that the titles of the frames can be prevented from overlapping one another; and

a display module displaying the arranged frames on the screen,

wherein, when a number of arranged frames exceeds a maximum number of frames that can be displayed on the screen, the menu providing module provides a setting menu to group a number of frames corresponding to a difference between the number of arranged frames and the maximum number of frames that can be displayed on the screen into one or more tabs and to display the tabs on a predefined location on the screen.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the predetermined frame arrangement mode includes at least one of a cascade mode, a thumbnail mode, and a tree mode.

3. An apparatus including a processor to compose a web document, the apparatus comprising:

the processor to control one or more processor-executable modules;

a generation module generating a plurality of frames by analyzing a source of a web document;

a composition module arranging the generated frames using a predetermined frame arrangement mode; and

an output module displaying the arranged frames on a screen,

wherein the predetermined frame arrangement mode includes at least one of a cascade mode, a thumbnail mode, and a tree mode, the composition module arranges the generated frames so that titles of the generated frames can be prevented from overlapping one another, and, when a number of arranged frames exceeds a maximum number of frames that can be displayed on the screen by the output module, a number of frames corresponding to a difference between the number of arranged frames and the maximum number of frames that can be displayed on the screen by the output module are grouped into one or more tabs and the tabs are displayed at a predefined location on the screen.

4. A method of setting a web document arrangement, the method comprising:

providing a setting menu to set a frame arrangement mode of arranging a plurality of frames on a screen, the frames being generated by analyzing a source of a web document;

arranging the frames using a predetermined frame arrangement mode so that titles of the frames can be prevented from overlapping one another; and

displaying the arranged frames on the screen,

wherein the providing comprises, when a number of arranged frames exceeds a maximum number of frames that can be displayed on the screen, providing a setting menu to group a number of frames corresponding to a difference between the number of arranged frames and the maximum number of frames that can be displayed on the screen into one or more tabs and displaying the tabs on a predefined location on the screen.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the predetermined frame arrangement mode includes at least one of a cascade mode, a thumbnail mode, and a tree mode.

6. A method of setting a web document arrangement, the method comprising:

generating a plurality of frames by analyzing a source of a web document;

arranging the generated frames using a predetermined frame arrangement mode; and

displaying the arranged frames on a screen,

wherein the predetermined frame arrangement mode includes at least one of a cascade mode, a thumbnail mode, and a tree mode, the generated frames are arranged so that titles of the generated frames can be prevented from overlapping one another, and, when a number of arranged frames exceeds a maximum number of frames that can be displayed on the screen, a number of frames corresponding to a difference between the number of arranged frames and the maximum number of frames that can be displayed on the screen are grouped into one or more tabs and the tabs are displayed at a predefined location on the screen.
