Abstract
Provided is a method and server for providing a button configuration of a toolbar specific to an individual domain address in an electronic device in which the toolbar is installed. The toolbar button management method for automatically configuring a domain-specific button may include obtaining a domain address through a web browser, determining whether the domain address is preset, changing a button configuration of the toolbar automatically based on button configuration information when the domain address is determined to be preset, and displaying the changed button configuration of the toolbar.
Claims17
A toolbar button management method performed by a processor in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- obtaining a domain address of a website being accessed by a user through a web browser;
- determining, using the processor, whether the obtained domain address is preset by querying a database of a management server using the obtained domain address, and verifying preset button configuration information corresponding to the obtained domain address is stored in the management server;
- setting, using the processor, a button configuration of a toolbar of the website based on the preset button configuration information corresponding to the obtained domain address when the obtained domain address is determined to be preset;
- setting, using the processor, the button configuration of the toolbar of the website based on default button configuration information set by the user, when the obtained domain address is determined not to be preset;
- and
- displaying the set button configuration of the toolbar and a configuration of other elements of the web browser,
- wherein the button configuration of the toolbar is set and displayed without reconfiguring the other displayed elements of the web browser, and
- wherein an administration tool automatically registers and presets button configuration information in the management server based on an Internet usage pattern of the user.
A toolbar button management server, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium to store registered and preset button configuration information of a toolbar for each domain address;
- a communication device to receive, from an electronic device in which a toolbar is installed, a request to determine whether a domain address of a website being accessed by a user through a web browser is preset;
- and
- a processing device to determine whether the domain address is preset in response to the request being received, to query the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium using the domain address, and to verify whether the preset button configuration information corresponding to the domain address is stored in the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium,
- wherein the communication device is configured to transmit the preset button configuration information corresponding to the domain address to the electronic device when the domain address is determined to be preset,
- wherein the communication device is configured to transmit default button configuration information set by the user, when the domain address is determined not to be preset,
- wherein the electronic device displays a button configuration of the toolbar based on the transmitted preset button configuration information or the transmitted default button configuration information, without reconfiguring the other elements of the web browser, and
- wherein an administration tool automatically registers and presets button configuration information in the management server based on an Internet usage pattern of the user.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having stored thereon a computer program that, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:
- obtain a domain address of a website being accessed by a user through a web browser;
- determine whether the obtained domain address is preset by querying a database of a management server using the obtained domain address, and verifying preset button configuration information corresponding to the obtained domain address is stored in the management server;
- set a button configuration of the toolbar of the website based on the preset button configuration information corresponding to the obtained domain address, when the obtained domain address is determined to be preset;
- set a button configuration of the toolbar of the website based on default button configuration information set by the user, when the obtained domain address is determined not to be preset;
- and
- display the set button configuration of the toolbar and a configuration of other elements of the web browser,
- wherein the button configuration of the toolbar is set and displayed without reconfiguring the other displayed elements of the web browser, and
- wherein an administration tool automatically registers and presets button configuration information in the management server based on an Internet usage pattern of the user.
