Abstract

A method of communicating with a web server for web browsing, and an apparatus and system to perform the method, is provided. The method includes extracting resource information from script included in web page information, transmitting the resource information to the web server to request a resource corresponding to the resource information, and storing the resource.

Claims

1. A web browsing apparatus connected to a web server to receive and transmit one or more documents and/or files from and to the web server, and which processes dynamic resource information using script, comprising:

a rendering engine configured to display a web page based on the one or more documents and/or files received from the web server;

a script analyzer configured to analyze the script included in the web page to be displayed and extract resource information from the script; and

a resource processor configured to transmit the resource information to the web server to request a resource corresponding to the resource information from the web server, and to store the resource received from the web server, wherein the resource information exceeding a threshold is discarded without loading the resource information,

wherein the script analyzer determines whether a URI is a simple or complex URI and determines a dynamic variable,

and a resource information confirming unit configured to trace, in response to the resource information being a complex URI, a dynamic variable used in the complex URI to acquire dynamic resource information, and to confirm the acquired dynamic resource information as resource information corresponding to the complex URI.

2. The web browsing apparatus of claim 1, wherein the rendering engine displays the web page using a resource acquired by parsing the web page or from the resource information.

3. The web browsing apparatus of claim 1, wherein the script analyzer comprises:

a resource information searching unit configured to search for a position at which the resource information is capable of being extracted from the script included in the web page;

a resource information determining unit configured to determine whether the resource information extracted at the found position is a simple URI or a complex URI.

4. The web browsing apparatus of claim 1, wherein the resource processor comprises:

a resource requesting unit configured to request the resource from the web server using the resource information;

a resource receiver configured to receive the resource from the web server; and

a resource storage configured to store the received resource.

5. The web browsing apparatus of claim 1, wherein the rendering engine and the script analyzer are executed in different cores in a computing system in which the web browsing apparatus is installed.

6. The web browsing apparatus of claim 3, wherein, in response to the resource information being a simple URI, the resource information determining unit transfers the simple URI to the resource processor to request a resource corresponding to the simple URI from the web server.

7. The web browsing apparatus of claim 3, wherein in response to the acquired dynamic resource information exceeding a threshold value in response to tracing the dynamic variable used in the complex URI to acquire the corresponding dynamic resource information, the resource information confirming unit discards the acquired dynamic resource information.

8. The web browsing apparatus of claim 3, wherein the resource information confirming unit transfers the acquired dynamic resource information to the resource processor to request a resource corresponding to the acquired dynamic resource information from the web server.

9. The web browsing apparatus of claim 3, wherein in response to one or more pieces of dynamic resource information being acquired, the resource information confirming unit assigns priorities to the acquired dynamic resource information according to probability that the acquired dynamic resource information is called by a function or jump statement included in the complex URI, and confirms resource information having high priority among the acquired dynamic resource information as the resource information corresponding to the complex URI.

10. The web browsing apparatus of claim 4, wherein the rendering engine searches for a resource for displaying the web page from the resource storage, and requests, in response to the resource for displaying the web page not existing in the resource storage, the resource for displaying the web page from the web server through the resource requesting unit.

11. A web browsing apparatus which communicates with a web server, comprising:

a script analyzer configured to extract resource information from script included in web page information; and

a resource processor configured to transmit the resource information to the web server to request a resource corresponding to the resource information, and to store the resource wherein the resource information exceeding a threshold is discarded without loading the resource information,

wherein the script analyzer determines whether a URI is a simple or complex URI and determines a dynamic variable,

and a resource information confirming unit configured to trade, in response to the resource information being a complex URI, a dynamic variable used in the complex URI to acquire dynamic resource information, and to confirm the acquired dynamic resource information as resource information corresponding to the complex URI.

12. The web browsing apparatus of claim 11, further comprising a rendering engine to display a web page based on the web page information and the resource stored by the resource processor.

13. A method of communicating with a web server, the method comprising:

extracting, at a terminal device, resource information from script included in web page information;

transmitting the resource information from the terminal device to the web server to request a resource corresponding to the resource information;

storing the resource at the terminal device wherein the resource information exceeding a threshold is discarded without loading the resource information,

determining whether a URI is a simple or complex URI and determining a dynamic variable; and

tracing, in response to the resource information being a complex URI, a dynamic variable used in the complex URI to acquire dynamic resource information, and to confirm the acquired dynamic resource information as resource information corresponding to the complex URI.

14. The method of claim 13, further comprising displaying a web page on the terminal device based on the web page information and the stored resource.

15. The method of claim 14, further comprising displaying a web page on the terminal device based on the web page information and a non-storable resource corresponding to the resource information.

16. A web browsing apparatus connected to a web server to receive and transmit one or more documents and/or files from and to the web server, and which processes dynamic resource information using script, comprising:

a rendering engine configured to display a web page based on the one or more documents and/or files received from the web server;

a script analyzer configured to analyze the script included in the web page to be displayed and extract resource information from the script,

the script analyzer comprises

a resource information searching unit configured to search for a position at which the resource information is capable of being extracted from the script included in the web page;

a resource information determining unit configured to determine whether the resource information extracted at the found position is a simple URI or a complex URI; and

a resource information confirming unit configured to trace, in response to the resource information being a complex URI, a dynamic variable used in the complex URI to acquire dynamic resource information, and to confirm the acquired dynamic resource information as resource information corresponding to the complex URI; and

a resource processor configured to transmit the resource information to the web server to request a resource corresponding to the resource information from the web server, and to store the resource received from the web server.
