The scaling behavior of physical observable in the phase transition point for one-dimensional quantum two-spin and three-spin model is investigated by employing the infinite matrix product state representation with the infinite time evolving block decimation method. The analytical results, which are checked numerically finding excellent agreement for the model with central charge c = 4/5 , demonstrate that the scaling behavior with finite truncation dimension in local Hilbert space can be employed to characterize the one-dimensional quantum spin model. Meanwhile, the infinite time evolving block decimation algorithm by the infinite matrix product state representation can be a quite accurate method to obtain the critical properties at continuous phase transition point.
