An apparatus and a method for providing bookmark is provided to make a site movement easy by checking attributes of the site at a glance by a scheme like a TV channel change scheme, specially to enhance accessibility to the internet for a user who does not use the internet frequently. A method for providing bookmark includes the following two steps. An apparatus for providing the bookmark stores bookmark information where an URL matched with an internet site, and numbers allocated to the URL are registered(510). The bookmark information enables a user to access the internet site via operation of a cursor or a button though not inputting site addresses, can be included in an EPG(Electronic Program Guide) and received from an external apparatus. The bookmark information to be stored continues to be provided from a TV server or can be generated by enabling a user to register URL of a wanted site. If the apparatus receives a user input signal in correspondence with the allocated numbers, the apparatus selects the URL in correspondence with the allocated numbers(520). The user can instruct a registration, search or a screen movement of the internet site via a user inputting unit like an inputting unit adhered to the TV or a remote controller. If the bookmark information is displayed on a display unit, the user can receive information on the displayed internet site while moving a cursor. The internet site registered at the bookmark information is selected, arranged according to access frequency, and displayed for the user. |
