Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for setting a bookmark for a resource accessed by a user, and for using the bookmark. The bookmarking method includes: collecting screen context information for the real text in the current screen of the resource in response to a request to bookmark the current screen of the resource; and storing address information and the screen context information of said resource as a bookmark to be used to return to said specific section of the resource. The method of providing a specific section of a resource based on a preset bookmark can include: downloading the resource content identified by said address information to a memory in response to a user's request to reopen the resource; collecting screen context information for the downloaded resource content; comparing the screen context information of the downloaded resource content with the screen context information indicated by said bookmark, selecting the specific section of the downloaded resource according to the rule of fuzz matching, and displaying the selected specific section of the resource in the display window.
