Abstract
An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device comprises: a communication unit for performing communication with a server; and a processor which, when a user inputs a user command for accessing the server through a uniform resource locator (URL) including resource access requirement information for a resource, required by the server to provide a service, determines whether a resource corresponding to the resource access requirement information exists in the electronic device, and according to whether the resource corresponding to the resource access requirement information exists, controls the communication unit such that access to the server is performed using a network address included in the URL.
Claims14
An electronic device comprising:
- a communication unit configured to communicate with a server;
- a storage configured to store resource required for providing a service of the server;
- a display;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- based on a search command being input through a search window on a web page displayed on the display, receive, from a server, a uniform resource locator (URL) including a network address of the server for providing information related to the search command and information on a resource required to provide a service of the server,
- receive a user command for accessing a server through a uniform resource locator (URL) including a network address of the server and information on a resource required to provide a service,
- determine whether the resource is stored in the electronic device based on the information on the resource included in the URL,
- based on determining that the resource is stored in the electronic device, control the communication unit to access the server using the network address included in the URL,
- wherein the resource required for providing a service comprises authentication information required for providing the service and at least one of user identification information required for providing the service and information on a sensor for acquiring the user identification information, and
- based on determining that the authentication information required for providing the service is not stored in the electronic device, control the display to display a message indicating that registration of the authentication information to the electronic device is necessary.
A method for accessing a server by an electronic device, the method comprising:
- based on a search command being input through a search window on a web page displayed on a display of the electronic device, receiving, from a server, a uniform resource locator (URL) including a network address of the server for providing information related to the search command and information on a resource required to provide a service of the server;
- receiving a user command for accessing a server through a uniform resource locator (URL) including a network address of the server and information on a resource required to provide a service;
- determining whether the resource is stored in the electronic device based on the information on the resource included in the URL;
- based on determining that the resource is stored in the electronic device, accessing the server using the network address included in the URL,
- wherein the resource required for providing a service comprises authentication information required for providing the service and at least one of user identification information required for providing the service and information on a sensor for acquiring the user identification information;
- and
- based on determining that the authentication information required for providing the service is not stored in the electronic device, displaying a message indicating that registration of the authentication information to the electronic device is necessary.
