For explaining technical solutions according to embodiments of the disclosure more clearly, drawings used in the illustration of the embodiments of the disclosure are described briefly. Apparently, the drawings in the following description are merely some of the embodiments of the disclosure, and other drawings may be obtained based on the drawings by those skilled in the art without inventive efforts.
For illustrating a technical solution and advantages of the disclosure more clearly, embodiments of the disclosure are further described hereinafter in conjunction with drawings.
A first website loading module sends a request for obtaining the page to a page server. The process of requesting is taken place when a system interface intends to load and present the contents of the page. That is to say, when the system interface intends to load and present the contents of the page, the first website loading unit is correspondingly triggered to send the request for obtaining the page to the page server. The intercepting module 11, connecting with the first website loading module, is configured to intercept the request for obtaining the page sent to the page server by the first website loading module. The second website loading module 12 is configured to send the request for obtaining the page to the proxy module. The intercepting module 11, connecting with the second website loading module 12, is further configured to trigger the second website loading module 12 to send the request for obtaining the page to the proxy module 13 after the request for obtaining the page is intercepted by the intercepting module 11. The proxy module 13, connecting with the second website loading module 12, is configured to receive the request for obtaining the page sent by the second website loading module 12 and obtain the contents of the page based on the request for obtaining the page. For example, the proxy module may obtain corresponding contents of the page based on an URL included in the request for obtaining the page. The proxy module 13 is further configured to return the contents of the page to the second website loading module 12. The second website loading module 12 is further configured to return the contents of the page to the system interface, for loading and presenting the contents by the system interface.
The first website loading module according to the embodiment may be a website loading module NSURLConnection in the existing iOS platform. The request for obtaining the page may include the URL of the requested page. The proxy module 13 according to the embodiment may be a proxy server in background, where the proxy server in background may be arranged locally.
In the device for obtaining the contents of the page according to the embodiment, the contents of the page are obtained by using the modules with the following mechanism. When the system interface intends to load and present the contents of the page, the first website loading module sends the request for obtaining the page to the page server. When the intercepting module 11 detects the request for obtaining the page, the intercepting module 11 intercepts the request for obtaining the page and triggers the second website loading module 12 to transfer the request for obtaining the page to the proxy module 13. The proxy module 13 obtains the corresponding contents of the page based on the URL in the request for obtaining the page and returns the contents of the page to the second website loading module 12. In the end, the second website loading module 12 returns the contents of the page to the system interface. With this mechanism, the system interface may load and present the contents of the page.
With the modules in the device for obtaining the contents of the page according to the embodiment, the first website loading module sends the request for obtaining the page to the page server when the system interface intends to load and present the contents of the page; the intercepting module intercepts the request for obtaining the page; the second website loading module sends the request for obtaining the page to the proxy module; the proxy module obtains the contents of the page based on the request for obtaining the page; the proxy module returns the contents of the page to the second website loading module; and the second website loading module returns the contents of the page to the system interface, for loading and presenting the contents by the system interface. In the technical solution according to the embodiments of the disclosure, the proxy module may obtain the contents of the page based on the request for obtaining the page and the proxy module may be arranged locally. Hence, the problem of slow loading speed, long loading time and low loading efficiency caused by the website loading module requesting the contents of the page from the page server during a heavy load of the page server is avoided. In the technical solution according to the embodiment, since the contents of the page may be obtained from the proxy module, the loading speed may be increased, the loading time may be reduced, the loading efficiency may be improved, and the user experience of a mobile terminal may further be enhanced. In addition, with the technical solution according to the embodiment, the problem that the proxy module in background is not fully used by the system interface is solved. By fully using the proxy module in loading the page, the efficiency of loading the page is improved and the user experience in loading the page is enhanced.
According to another embodiment, the proxy module is configured to obtain the contents of the page from a local cache based on the request for obtaining the page. That is to say, the contents of the page are already accessed and are stored in the proxy module 13. The proxy module 13 may locally obtain the contents of the page based on the request for obtaining the page after the second website loading module 12 sends the request for obtaining the page to the proxy module 13. Accordingly, the contents of the page may be obtained locally, the efficiency of loading the page is improved and the user experience in loading the page is enhanced.
Alternatively, in the case the contents of the page corresponding to the request for obtaining the page are not locally stored in the proxy module 13, the proxy module 13 may send the request for obtaining the page to the page server and receive the corresponding contents of the page from the page server, where the corresponding contents of the page are sent by the page server based on the request for obtaining the page. Hence, it is ensured that the contents of the page, requested by the request for obtaining the page, may be correctly obtained.
According to yet another embodiment, a data transmission protocol between the second website loading module 12 and the proxy module 13 is different from a data transmission protocol between the proxy module 13 and the page server;
and/or the data transmission protocol between the second website loading module 12 and the proxy module 13 supports a higher data transmission rate than the data transmission protocol between the proxy module 13 and the page server.
For example, in the existing iOS platform, a Hypertext transfer protocol (Http) is applied between the website loading module NSURLConnection (an example of the first website loading module) and the page server. In addition to the existing iOS platform, a second website loading module may be added, for example, the second website loading module may be a website loading module Chromium net. For ensuring the loading efficiency, an SPDY data transmission protocol supporting a higher data transmission rate may be applied between the second website loading module and the proxy module, while the Http protocol is still applied between the proxy module and the page server. The SPDY data transmission protocol is an enhancement of the Http protocol and the data transmission rate may be significantly improved.
According to still another embodiment, the proxy module 13 is further configured to, after obtaining the contents of the page based on the request for obtaining the page and before returning the contents of the page to the second website loading module 12, process the contents of the page based on a page processing parameter in the request for obtaining the page.
The page processing parameter includes at least one of resource compression ratio, page size and a value reflecting whether to perform advertisement filtering.
In the technical solution according to the embodiments of the disclosure, the proxy module may obtain the contents of the page based on the request for obtaining the page and the proxy module may be arranged locally. Hence, the problem of slow loading speed, long loading time and low loading efficiency caused by the website loading module requesting the contents of the page from the page server during a heavy load of the page server is avoided. Hence, the loading speed may be increased, the loading time may be reduced, the loading efficiency may be improved, and the user experience of a mobile terminal may further be enhanced. In addition, with the technical solution according to the embodiment, the problem that the proxy module in background is not fully used by the system interface is solved. By fully using the proxy module in loading the page, the efficiency of loading the page is improved and the user experience in loading the page is enhanced.
First, a first website loading module sends a request for obtaining the page to a page server.
The sending of the request is taken place when a system interface intends to load and present the contents of the page. That is to say, when the system interface intends to load and present the contents of the page, the first website loading unit is correspondingly triggered to send the request for obtaining the page to the page server. The first website loading module may be a website loading module NSURLConnection in an existing iOS platform. The request for obtaining the page may include the URL of the requested page.
In the step 101, an intercepting module intercepts the request for obtaining the page.
In the step 102, a second website loading module sends the request for obtaining the page to a proxy module.
In the step 103, the proxy module obtains the contents of the page based on the request for obtaining the page.
For example, corresponding contents of the page may be obtained based on the URL in the request for obtaining the page. The proxy module according to the embodiment may be a proxy server in background.
In the step 104, the proxy module returns the contents of the page to the second website loading module.
In the step 105, the second website loading module returns the contents of the page. According to an embodiment, the second website loading module returns the contents of the page to a system interface, for loading and presenting the contents by the system interface.
The method for obtaining the contents of the page may be implemented with an apparatus for obtaining the contents of the page, including an intercepting module, a second website loading module and a proxy module. The proxy module may be locally arranged. After the intercepting module intercepts the request for obtaining the page, the second website loading module requests for obtaining the contents of the page to the locally arranged proxy module rather than to the page server in an external network. Hence, the loading speed is increased, the loading time is reduced and the loading efficiency is improved.
The method for obtaining the contents of the page has the same mechanism for obtaining the contents of the page as the device embodiments, and reference may be made to the description of the device.
In the method for obtaining the contents of the page according to the embodiment, the first website loading module sends the request for obtaining the page to the page server when the system interface intends to load and present the contents of the page; the intercepting module intercepts the request for obtaining the page; the second website loading module sends the request for obtaining the page to the proxy module; the proxy module obtains the contents of the page based on the request for obtaining the page; the proxy module returns the contents of the page to the second website loading module; and the second website loading module returns the contents of the page to the system interface, for loading and presenting the contents by the system interface. In the technical solution according to the embodiments of the disclosure, the proxy module may obtain the contents of the page based on the request for obtaining the page and the proxy module may be arranged locally. Hence, the problem of slow loading speed, long loading time and low loading efficiency caused by the website loading module requesting the contents of the page from the page server during a heavy load of the page server is avoided. In the technical solution according to the embodiment, since the contents of the page may be obtained from the proxy module, the loading speed may be increased, the loading time may be reduced, the loading efficiency may be improved, and the user experience of a mobile terminal may further be enhanced. In addition, with the technical solution according to the embodiment, the problem that the proxy module in background is not fully used by the system interface is solved. By fully using the proxy module in loading the page, the efficiency of loading the page is improved and the user experience in loading the page is enhanced.
According to another embodiment, the step 103 of obtaining the contents of the page by the proxy module based on the request for obtaining the page may include, obtaining the contents of the page from a local cache by the proxy module based on the request for obtaining the page. That is to say, the contents of the page are already accessed and are stored in the proxy module. The proxy module may locally obtain the contents of the page based on the request for obtaining the page after the second website loading module sends the request for obtaining the page to the proxy module.
Alternatively, in the case the contents of the page are accessed for the first time, i.e., in the case that the contents of the page are not locally stored in the proxy module, the step 103 of obtaining contents of the page by the proxy module based on the request for obtaining the page may include: sending the request for obtaining the page to the page server by the proxy module and receiving the corresponding contents of the page by the proxy module from the page server, where the corresponding contents of the page are sent by the page server based on the request for obtaining the page. Hence, it is ensured that the contents of the page, requested by the request for obtaining the page, may be correctly obtained.
In this embodiment, since the contents of the page are accessed for the first time, the proxy module needs to send a request to the page server for obtaining the contents of the page. Disadvantages of low loading speed and long loading time may be caused. To solve the disadvantages, according to the embodiment of the disclosure, a data transmission protocol between the second website loading module and the proxy module may be different from that between the proxy module and the page server; and/or the data transmission protocol between the second website loading module and the proxy module supports a higher data transmission rate than the data transmission protocol between the proxy module and the page server. That is to say, the data transmission rate between the second website loading module and the proxy module may be increased by applying a data transmission protocol different form that between the proxy module and the page server. Hence, the loading speed is increased, the loading time is reduced and the loading efficiency is ensured.
For example, in the existing iOS platform, a Hypertext transfer protocol (Http) is applied between the website loading module NSURLConnection and the page server. A second website loading module may be added to the existing iOS platform, for example, the second website loading module may be a website loading module Chromium net. To ensure the loading efficiency, an SPDY data transmission protocol supporting a higher data transmission rate may be applied between the second website loading module and the proxy module, while the Http protocol is still applied between the proxy module and the page server. The SPDY data transmission protocol is an enhancement of the Http protocol and the data transmission rate may be significantly improved.
Table 1 shows the time spent for loading the URLs of respective websites illustrated in Table 1 with an existing technical solution and with the technical solution according to the embodiment of the disclosure, and enhancements of speeds. In the existing technical solution, the website loading module NSURLConnection is connected with the page server through the Http protocol, where this connection approach may be called as direct connection. In the technical solution according to the embodiment of the disclosure, the SPDY data transmission protocol is applied between the website loading module Chromium net and the proxy module, where this connection approach may be called as SPDY connection. As shown in Table 1, where five websites illustrated in Table 1 are loaded with both the existing technical solution and the technical solution according to the embodiment of the disclosure, it may be known that with the technical solution according to the embodiment of the disclosure, the loading time is reduced, the loading speed is increased and the loading efficiency is accordingly improved.
According to still another embodiment, after the step 103 of obtaining the contents of the page by the proxy module based on the request for obtaining the page, and before the step 104 of returning the contents of the page to the second website loading module by the proxy module, the method may further include: processing the contents of the page by the proxy module based on a page processing parameter in the request for obtaining the page. The page processing parameter may include at least one of page size, an image compression ratio, a resource compression ratio, and a value reflecting whether to perform advertisement filtering. For example, the value may be set as 1 to reflect that the advertisement filtering is to be performed, while the value may be set as 0 to reflect that the advertisement filtering is not to be performed. Each page processing parameter may be carried by adding fields to the request for obtaining the page.
According to another embodiment, in the step 105 of returning the contents of the page to the system interface by the second website loading, the second website loading module may return the contents of the page through the intercepting module and the first website loading module. For example, firstly, the second website loading module may return the contents of the page to the intercepting module, then the intercepting module returns the contents of the page to the first website loading module, and in the end, the first website loading module returns the contents of the page to the system interface, for loading and presenting the contents by the system interface.
It should be noted that, the technical solutions of the foregoing embodiments may be applied in the iOS platform. The proxy module according to the embodiments may be a proxy server.
It should be noted that, an optional embodiment of the disclosure may be obtained with any combination of optional technical solutions according to the foregoing embodiments, no detail is given here.
In the method for obtaining contents of a page according to the embodiments of the disclosure, by employing the technical solution as disclosed above, the problem of slow loading speed, long loading time and low loading efficiency caused by the website loading module requesting the contents of the page from the page server during a heavy load of the page server is avoided. Hence, the loading speed may be increased, the loading time may be reduced, the loading efficiency may be improved, and the user experience of a mobile terminal may further be enhanced. In addition, with the technical solution according to the embodiment, the problem that the proxy module in background is not fully used by the system interface is solved. By fully using the proxy module in loading the page, the efficiency of loading the page is improved and the user experience in loading the page is enhanced.
In the step 200, when opening a page by using a system interface UIWebView, i.e., when the system interface UIWebView loads the page, the system interface UIWebView loads an URL through a website loading module NSURLConnection, i.e., the system interface UIWebView sends a request for loading the URL to the website loading module NSURLConnection.
According to the embodiment, the website loading module NSURLConnection is taken as a first website loading module.
In the step 201, the website loading module NSURLConnection sends a request for obtaining the page to a page server based on the received request for loading the URL.
Since the request for obtaining the page is to be intercepted in the subsequent step 202, the step 201 is shown in
In the step 202, an intercepting module intercepts the request for obtaining the page sent from the website loading module NSURLConnection to the page server.
According to the embodiment, since the Http protocol is applied between the website loading module NSURLConnection and the page server, the request for obtaining the page may be considered as an Http request. The request for obtaining the page may include the URL required to be loaded. The request for obtaining the page may include a page processing parameter, where the page processing parameter may include at least one of page size, a value reflecting whether to perform advertisement filtering and a resource compression ratio. After the intercepting module intercepts the request for obtaining the page, the intercepting module may trigger a website loading module Chromium net to send the request for obtaining the page, which is shown in the step 203.
In the step 203, the website loading module Chromium net sends the request for obtaining the page to a proxy server through an SPDY data transmission protocol.
According to the embodiment, the website loading module Chromium net is taken as a second website loading module. Since the SPDY data transmission protocol is applied between the website loading module Chromium net and the proxy server, the request for obtaining the page is also called as an SPDY frame request. According to the embodiment, a proxy server is taken as the proxy module in the description of the technical solutions of the disclosure.
In the step 204, the proxy server sends the request for obtaining the page to the page server through the Http protocol.
According to the embodiment, in the case that the system interface UIWebView requests for the contents of the page corresponding to the URL, i.e., in the case that the contents of the page corresponding to the URL are not cached in the proxy server, the proxy server is required to request for the contents of the page from the page server.
In the step 205, the page server returns the contents of the page to the proxy server, where the contents of the page correspond to the request for obtaining the page.
In the step 206, the proxy server processes the contents of the page based on a page processing parameter in the request for obtaining the page.
In the step 207, the proxy server sends the processed contents of the page to the website loading module Chromium net through the SPDY data transmission protocol.
In the step 208, the website loading module Chromium net returns the processed contents of the page to the intercepting module.
In the step 209, the intercepting module returns the processed contents of the page to the website loading module NSURLConnection.
In the step 210, the website loading module NSURLConnection returns the processed contents of the page to the system interface UIWebView, so that the system interface UIWebView loads and presents the processed contents of the page.
According to the embodiment, all the processes of returning the contents of the page may be understood as processes in response to the request for obtaining the page. In the end, the mobile terminal may display the processed contents of the page, loaded and presented by the system interface UIWebView, to a user.
In method for obtaining contents of a page according to the present disclosure, by employing the technical solution as described above, the disadvantage that the website loading module requests the contents of the page from the page server and slow loading speed, long loading time and low loading efficiency are caused due to a heavy load of the page server is avoided. Hence, the loading speed may be increased, the loading time may be reduced, the loading efficiency may be improved, and the user experience of a mobile terminal may further be enhanced. In addition, with the technical solution according to the embodiment, the problem that the proxy module in background is not fully used by the system interface is solved. By fully using the proxy module in loading the page, the efficiency of loading the page is improved and the user experience of loading the page is enhanced.
It should be noted that, in the case that the contents of the page, corresponding to the request for obtaining the page, are locally cached in the proxy module, the step 204 and the step 205 may be omitted. Hence, the loading speed is further increased, the loading time is reduced and the loading efficiency is improved.
