Description

Method and device for configuring navigation page of browser

The application is filed as a priority application by a Chinese patent application, the filing date of which is July 22, 2014, the application number is 201410350631.6, and the invention is entitled "A method and apparatus for configuring a navigation page of a browser" ".

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of Internet technologies, and in particular, to a technology for configuring a navigation page of a browser.

Background technique

Currently, browsers generally have navigation pages. The navigation page includes multiple links to different target pages (which can also be considered as anchor text). When the user selects one or more links to a specific page, the browser can open. The corresponding page is provided for the user to browse. Therefore, the navigation page provides the user with a quick entry to the target page, so that the user can browse the specific webpage without inputting the specific URL, thereby reducing the user operation, thereby improving the user experience.

For the same browser, there are usually multiple versions, such as the domestic version, the international version, and the links provided in different versions of the browser navigation page can be different, such as pointing to different target pages. Therefore, browser developers need to configure the corresponding navigation page for each version of the browser, which requires maintaining a variety of navigation page code and causing a lot of duplication of effort.

Further, the browser may be used in different application scenarios. For example, a user may use a particular browser in his or her mobile phone in China, or continue to use the browser in the United States, and in different regions, the user's need for navigation links in the navigation page may be different. Specifically, in China, users may need a link to the public comment network. In the United States, users may need a link to Groupon. However, the existing browser navigation pages are set based on the browser version, and do not provide different navigation pages to the user due to geographical differences, that is, for the same version of the browser, regardless of the user China is still used in the United States, and its navigation pages are the same. Obviously, the existing browser navigation pages cannot be flexibly configured according to the user's application requirements.

Summary of the invention

It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for configuring a navigation page of a browser.

Further, when the related information of the browser is updated, for example, the browser is updated from the Beijing time zone to the New York time zone, the user equipment 1 can send the information about the updated browser to the network. Device 2.

In step S2, the network device 2 determines page content information of the navigation page of the browser according to the related information of the browser.

For example, the navigation page of the browser generally includes a search area and a plurality of classified/functional navigation areas, wherein the search area includes at least one search box and a search button, and an optional search engine, and each navigation area provides more Links that are arranged and presented to the user in a certain layout.

The arrangement of links in the navigation area is diverse. For example, the links in the navigation area of the commonly used URLs are arranged in the form of a grid. For example, according to the arrangement of 6*5 grids, each of the grids is provided with a link to a specific website, and the link usually appears as pointing A hyperlink to the name of the website (that is, the anchor text). And, optionally, the graphic information of the corresponding website, such as the logo of the website, may also be arranged in the square. Further, a plurality of links can be arranged in a palace, for example, Sina Weibo , in which the link Sina points to the homepage of the Sina website, and the link microblog points to the homepage of the Sina Weibo. Multiple links placed within a single box are often relevant, such as the first link to the home page of the site, and the subsequent links to a subpage of the site.

In addition, the links in the navigation area may not be arranged in a checkered form, but in a sub-class subdivided. For example, each subclass is displayed on the left side of a navigation area, and the right side of the corresponding subclass displays multiple links under the subclass. These links may be represented as hyperlinks having description information, wherein the description information may be information related to the content of the page, such as the title of the page pointed to by the corresponding link.

Further, each navigation area may further include a plurality of navigation sub-areas, and the links in each navigation sub-area may be arranged in a checkered form or may not be arranged in a checkered form (eg, sorting by line by line).

The browser navigation page of user device 1 may employ a generic page template that defines the layout of the navigation page. For example, according to the common page template, the navigation page includes a search area and two navigation areas, the search area is located above the navigation page, and the two navigation areas are located in the middle and below the navigation page, wherein the links in the middle navigation area are in the palace Arranged in a grid. However, the specific content in the navigation page is not included in the generic page template, for example, The optional search engine is not determined in the search area, and the link to be rendered is not determined in the navigation area.

Alternatively, navigation pages of different versions of the browser may also be preset with their own specific page templates. Further, the page template of the navigation page can also be determined in real time.

The page content information is used to determine the specific content presented in the navigation page, that is, the page content information includes, but is not limited to, an optional search engine in the search area, and a link presented in the navigation area.

The network device 2 may pre-establish a page content information library, where the page content information library stores the page content information and its corresponding relationship with the browser related information. According to this, the network device 2 can query the page content information base according to the related information of the browser, thereby determining the page content information of the navigation page of the browser.

For example, the network device 2 can provide the user device 1 with different page content information according to different browser related information, so that the user device 1 generates a navigation page that includes corresponding page content information, for example, for Chinese-supported browsing. The network device 2 can provide a Baidu search box. For a browser that supports English, the network device 2 can provide a Google search box; for a browser from a video website publishing channel, the network device 2 can provide more links to the video website. For the browser from the game website publishing channel, the network device 2 can provide more links to the game website; for the browser where the user device is located in the New York time zone, the network device 2 can provide a link to a website such as Yahoo, Facebook, etc. The user equipment is located in the browser of the Beijing time zone. The network device 2 can provide links to websites such as Sina Weibo and Sohu. Those skilled in the art should understand that the network device 2 can also be based on different browser version information and the user equipment. Screen size related information, to provide user equipment 1 Different page content information with the browser version information or related information corresponding to the screen size.

The network device 2 can determine the page content information of the navigation page based on only the related information of one browser; the network device 2 can also determine the page content information of the navigation page by using related information of multiple browsers, for example, the browser. The relevant information is to support Chinese and from the video website publishing channel, then the network device 2 can provide links to Weibo, Sohu, Youku, and potatoes, wherein the first two links are determined according to the browser supporting Chinese, and the latter two. The links are determined based on the browser's source of distribution from the video site.

The invention can provide different page content information of different navigation pages for browsers with different related information. On the one hand, the browser publisher does not have to maintain multiple sets of navigation page codes, thereby reducing duplication of work; on the other hand, it can be more Close to the user's usage scenarios to meet the user's current needs and enhance the user's experience.

Further, when the browser related information is updated, the network device 2 can provide the page content information of the navigation page according to the updated browser related information. For example, the user equipment migrates from Beijing to New York, and the time zone information of the user equipment of the browser is updated to the New York time zone, and the network device 2 determines the page content information according to the updated related information, thereby more conforming to the current needs of the user.

Preferably, the network device 2 may further determine page layout information of the navigation page of the browser according to the related information of the browser; then, the network device 2 determines the corresponding page content information according to the page layout information according to the browser related information. .

The page layout information includes, but is not limited to, which block areas are included in the navigation page, such as the search area, the navigation area, and the like, the positions of the block areas in the navigation page, and the arrangement of the information to be presented in each navigation area. The arrangement of the information to be presented, such as the arrangement of pictures, such as floating above the text, floating below the text, etc.; text format, such as font, size, etc.; typesetting format, such as line spacing, alignment, etc.; 3*3 arrangement, 5*5 arrangement; highlighting mode, such as highlighting the first two lines of the grid.

The network device 2 may pre-establish a page layout information library, where the page layout information library stores page layout information and its correspondence with related information of the browser. The page layout information base and the page content information base can be independent databases, and the two can also be integrated.

Then, the network device 2 queries the page according to the determined page layout information according to the browser related information. A content information repository that determines page content information for the navigation page.

For example, the screen size of the user device where the browser is located is 24 inches. By querying the page layout information base, the network device 2 determines the navigation site of the commonly used URL in the navigation page to 6*5 A grid of website links and a picture of the first news link arranged on the left side of the news navigation area, and five news links are arranged from top to bottom on the right side; then, the network device 2 follows the page layout information according to the current New York browser. Time zone, by querying the page content information database, determining 30 English common URLs and their arrangement manners, such as according to their popularity level from left to right, top to bottom, successively arranged in the corresponding palace grid of the common website navigation area, and determining the arrangement 5 news headlines from New York or the United States in the news navigation area.

Different browser related information can correspond to different page layout information. For example, for a language supported by the browser, the network device 2 may determine that fewer or more links are arranged in the navigation area due to differences in statement lengths when different languages are expressed; for different distribution channels of the browser, the network device 2 may determine The navigation area corresponding to the publishing channel or some of its links are highlighted.

The page layout information may also be indication information about the page layout. For example, a page template of a plurality of navigation pages is stored in the browser of the user device 1, and each page template has a corresponding number, and the network device 2 can specifically indicate which number is applied by the user device 1 by using the indication information of the page layout. Page template.

At this time, the page layout information base of the network device 2 also stores the page template of the navigation page stored locally by each browser and its corresponding number. At the same time as or after transmitting the indication information of the page layout, such as the number of the corresponding page template to the user device 1, the network device 2 may continue to obtain the page of the corresponding navigation page for the browser of the user device 1 according to the determined page template. Content information.

Alternatively, when only the correspondence between the related information of the browser and the number of the corresponding page template is stored in the page layout information database, after the network device 2 transmits the indication information of the page layout to the user equipment 1, the user equipment 1 Determining, according to the indication information, a page layout corresponding to the indication information, and then sending a corresponding content acquisition request to the network device 2, for example, the content acquisition request includes an acquisition request for a link of nine common URLs in a navigation area of a common website. Then, the network device 2 determines the page content information corresponding to the content acquisition request by querying the page content information base according to the content acquisition request, and returns it to the user device 1.

In step S3, the network device 2 provides the page content information of the navigation page to the user. Device 1, correspondingly, user device 1 receives page content information for the navigation page.

Preferably, if the network device 2 further determines the page layout information of the navigation page, the page layout information may be provided to the user device 1 together with the page content information, or may be provided to the user before the page content information is provided to the user device 1. The device 1, such as the network device 2, after determining the page layout information of the navigation page, supplies it to the user device 1, and then determines the page content information of the navigation page and provides it to the user device 1.

In step S4, the user device 1 loads the page content information of the navigation page to present the loaded navigation page to the user.

For example, as described above, the page layout information may be determined by an existing page template in the browser, or may be determined by the network device 2, and the user device 1 loads the page content information into the page layout information, thereby providing the user with the page layout information. Render the loaded navigation page.

For example, the html code of the generic page template has several identifiers, each of which corresponds to a grid, such as grid01, grid02, grid03, etc., and the page content information is grid01=http://www.sina.com/ , grid02=http://www.sohu.com/, grid03=http://www.youku.com/, according to which, the user equipment 1 can use the page content information to assign a value to the corresponding square in the common page template.
