Description

Method and System for Sharing Information Using a Web Browser The present invention relates to a method and system for sharing information using a web browser. As technology advances, the utility of digital devices is increasing. In particular, electronic devices (such as smartphones and tablet PCs) are equipped with a variety of functions, including not only communication capabilities like phone calls and text messaging, but also the ability to surf the web using the internet, listen to music, and watch video content (including video content). Driven by the popularization of these electronic devices, users' reliance on the Internet is surging. Along with this, online-based search services, design services (e.g., Figma), project management services (e.g., Notion), and document processing services are developing, and the number of users is also gradually increasing. With the development of such services, an era has recently arrived where work is possible anywhere without being tied to a physical space, and consequently, collaboration with experts from various fields is possible. As a technology related to collaboration, Korean Public Patent No. 10-2023-0111091 discloses a multi-party video service. However, this technology allows for face-to-face meetings and fails to provide an environment where users can share tasks and collaborate in real time. Accordingly, there is a need for a collaborative workspace where multiple people can share information simultaneously, communicate with each other, and work together. Figure 1 is a conceptual diagram illustrating the web browser sharing mode in the present invention. FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an information sharing system using a web browser according to the present invention. Figure 3 is a flowchart illustrating data processing for executing a web browser's sharing mode. FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for sharing information using a web browser according to the present invention. FIGS. 5a, 5b, and 5c, FIGS. 6, 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d, 8, 9, 10a, and 10b are conceptual diagrams for explaining shared pages in the present invention. FIG. 11 is a conceptual diagram illustrating the voice conversation function provided in the present invention. Hereinafter, embodiments disclosed in this specification will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. Identical or similar components are assigned the same reference number regardless of the drawing symbols, and redundant descriptions thereof will be omitted. The suffixes "module" and "part" used for components in the following description are assigned or used interchangeably solely for the ease of drafting the specification and do not have distinct meanings or roles in themselves. Furthermore, in describing the embodiments disclosed in this specification, if it is determined that a detailed description of related prior art could obscure the essence of the embodiments disclosed in this specification, such detailed description will be omitted. Additionally, the attached drawings are intended only to facilitate understanding of the embodiments disclosed in this specification; the technical concept disclosed in this specification is not limited by the attached drawings, and it should be understood that they include all modifications, equivalents, and substitutions that fall within the spirit and technical scope of the present invention. Terms including ordinal numbers, such as first, second, etc., may be used to describe various components, but said components are not limited by said terms. These terms are used solely for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another. When it is stated that one component is "connected" or "connected" to another component, it should be understood that while it may be directly connected or connected to that other component, there may also be other components in between. On the other hand, when it is stated that one component is "directly connected" or "directly connected" to another component, it should be understood that there are no other components in between. Singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. In this application, terms such as “comprising” or “having” are intended to specify the existence of the features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof described in the specification, and should be understood as not precluding the existence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof. The present invention relates to a method and system for sharing information using a web browser, wherein user input to the web browser (e.g., creating a tab, moving to a website, closing a tab) is synchronized so that the same screen can be provided on each of the web browsers of multiple users. A “web browser” is software (e.g., Whale) that enables access to various web pages and web content via the Internet, requests
