Referring to Fig. 1, there is shown a block diagram illustrating a system 500 for automatically turning and displaying multi-layered web-page views created consecutively. As shown, the system 500 includes server computer systems 510, 520 and 530, an Internet 540 as a communication network, and client computer systems 550, 560 and 570 including a mobile communication terminal. The client computer system 550, 560 or 570 includes a web browser 552, a processor 554 and a temporary storage 556. The server computer system 510 includes a website 512 made up of web-pages, a processor 515 and a database 516. The server computer systems 520 and 530 include different web-sites from the web-site 512. The server computer systems 510, 520 and 530 provide a plurality of web-pages contained in a web-site to the client computer systems 550, 560 and 570. For example, the processor 554 of the client computer system 550 creates the multi-layered web-page views and downloads a series of web-pages from the server computer system 510. The temporary storage 556 of the client computer system 550 stores the multi-layered web-page views created by the processor 554.
Further, a web browser 552 provides a web browser screen. The web browser screen displays web-page identifications relating to the series of web-pages linked to hyperlinks selected by the user, wherein the web-page identifications include uniform resource locators (URLs) and web-page title names. The web browser screen displays the multi-layered web-page views automatically turned m response to a web-page view activation signal. Accordingly, the system 500 m accordance with the present invention can increase a web searching or surfing speed. The database 516 of the server computer system 510 stores web-site map information including the URLs and the web-page title names. For example, where the client computer system 550 requests web-site map information corresponding to the website 512, the server computer system 510 sends the web-site map information to the client computer system 550 m response to the web-site map information request. Where the web browser 552 of the client computer system 550 is run by the user, the web browser screen connected to the Internet 540 is displayed on the computer monitor of the client computer system 550. The web browser 552 is similar to a web browser of Explorer™ or Netscape™ well known. If the user inputs a URL corresponding to a web-site domain name into a URL input space, the web browser screen displays the web-page of the web-site 512. The user can request the series of web-pages or the web-site map information to the server computer system 510 through the web browser screen shown
Figure imgf000008_0001
Referring to Fig. 2, there is shown a view illustrating a web browser screen 600 displayed by the web browser 552 shown m Fig. 1. As shown, the web browser screen 600 connected to the Internet 540 is divided into display spaces 610 and 690. Where the user at the client computer system 550, 560 or 570 inputs a URL corresponding to a web-site, e.g., the web-site 512, into a URL input space, the display space 690 displays the web-page of the web-site 512. The web-page is linked to another web-pages by hyperlinks which the user can read and interact with.
Where the user consecutively selects and clicks the hyperlinks after clicking an icon 620, a series of URLs relating to the hyperlinks is separately displayed on the display space 610. Otherwise, where the user drags and drops the hyperlinks, the series of URLs relating to the hyperlinks is separately
6 displayed on the display space 610. At this time, the client computer system 550 requests web-pages relating to the hyperlinks to the server computer system 510. Then, the client computer system 550 consecutively creates multi-layered web-page views and downloads the web-pages from the server computer system 510.
Then, if the user clicks a "play button" icon 631, the multi-layered web-page views consecutively created are automatically turned and displayed on the computer monitor of the client computer system 550, 560 or 570 in response to a web-page view activation signal. The web-page view activation signal is generated when the "play button" icon 631 is clicked by the user. The multi-layered web-page views are consecutively activated on the display space 690 in response to the web-page view activation signal
The user can control an automatic web-page view turning speed by selecting a predetermined time interval between automatically turned web-page views, e.g., "5", "20" or "30" seconds, through a selection box 660. Where the user clicks a "stop button" icon 632, an ongoing automatic web-page turning stops . Where the user clicks a "forward button" icon 633, a next web-page view is displayed on the computer monitor of the client computer system 550, 560 or 570. Where the user clicks a "backward button" icon 634 , a previous web-page view is displayed on the computer monitor of the client computer system 550, 560 or 570. A current web-page view indicator 640 indicates the number of a current web-page view.
Further, where the user clicks a "site" icon 612, the display space 610 displays the web-site map information. Where the user clicks an "auto" icon 614, the display space 610 displays the series of URLs corresponding to the hyperlinks separately
7 selected by the user. The user can select the URLs or the web-page title names included m the web-site map information, wherein the selected URLs or web-page title names can be linked to a "mypage" icon 616. Where the user clicks the "mypage" icon 616, the display space 610 displays the selected URLs or web-page title names linked to the "mypage" icon 616.
Referring to Fig. 3, there is shown a view illustrating a web-page, provided by the server computer system 510 shown m Fig. 1, linked to the web browser screen 600 displayed by the web browser 552 shown m Fig. 1. When the user inputs the URL, e.g., http://www.yahoo.com, into a URL input space 740, the display space 720 displays the web-page corresponding to the URL, wherein the web-page includes a plurality of hyperlinks, which is linked to another web-pages. In order to use the automatic web-page view turning, the user clicks an icon 730 and selects a number of hyperlinks, e.g. , Movies, Books, Shopping, GeoCities and News . At this time, the display space 710 displays the web-page title names of the selected hyperlinks, e.g., Yahoo' Movies, Yahoo' Books, Yahoo' Shopping, Yahoo' GeoCities and Yahoo ' News. Alternatively, the web-page title names of the selected hyperlinks can be replaced
Then, if the user clicks a "play button" icon 750, the multi-layered web-page views relating to the selected hyperlinks are automatically turned and displayed on the computer monitor of the client computer system 550, 560 or 570. When the multi-layered web-page views relating to the selected hyperlinks are automatically turned and displayed on the computer monitor of the client computer system 550, 560 or 570, each web-page is scrolled such that the user can completely see the web-page view. Here the time interval between automatically

turned multi-layered web-page views is "5" seconds as indicated by a selection box 760.Referring to Fig. 4, there is shown a flow chart illustrating a method for automatically turning and displaying multi-layered web-page views in the system 500 shown in Fig. 1. As shown, at step S410, the client computer system 550 provides a web browser screen to a user at the client computer system 550. Then, at step S420, the web browser screen displays a web-page provided by the server computer system 510, the web-page having hyperlinks. Then, at step S430, the user at the client computer system 550 selects the hyperlinks linked to a series of web-pages. Then, at step S440, the client computer system 550 creates multi-layered web-page views. Then, at step S450, the client computer system 550 downloads the series of web-pages from the server computer system 510. Then, at step S460, the web browser screen consecutively turns and displays the multi-layered web-page views m response to a web-page view activation signal.Although the preferred embodiments of the invention have been disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled m the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed n the accompanying claims .
