As shown in
Step S31: Gathering access records of a user.
Step S32: Analyzing the access records of the user.
Step S33: Generating the bookmarks according to an analysis result.
Through the method, the access records of the user can be gathered and analyzed, and the bookmarks are automatically generated according to the analysis result; therefore, the user is not required to actively store a website as the bookmark, thereby enhancing the browsing experience of the user.
Further, before step S31, the method may further include: adding a bookmark toolbar link in a page accessed by the user. In this way, if the user wants to manage the bookmarks thereof, the user may directly access a bookmark management page through the link.
Further, the access records of the user may include: a user identifier, a domain name, and number of accessed times, etc.
Further, on the basis of the foregoing access records of the user, step S32 may include: obtaining top N domain names in terms of the number of accessed times by the user in a period of time; and using the top N domain names as the corresponding bookmark names.
Alternatively, step S32 may also include: obtaining top N domain names in terms of the number of accessed times by the user in a period of time; and initiating a request to servers corresponding to the top N domain names, obtaining titles from web pages corresponding to the domain names, and using the titles as the corresponding bookmark names. It should be understood that, when the titles are used as the corresponding bookmark names, a corresponding relationship between the domain names and the corresponding bookmark names may be established in the mean while, and in this way, it is not required to re-obtain the titles corresponding to the domain names each time.
Alternatively, step S32 may also include:
Step S321: Obtaining top N domain names in terms of the number of the accessed times by the user in a period of time.
Step S322: Matching the top N domain names with the bookmark names according to the pre-configured corresponding relationship between the domain names and the bookmark names, for example, http://www.huawei.com/ corresponds to “huawei”, and “http://www.sina.com.cn/” corresponds to “sina”.
Step S323: If one of the top N domain names is not matched, initiate a request to a server corresponding to the domain name, obtain a title from the web page corresponding to the domain name, and use the title as the bookmark name. It should be understood that, when the title is used as the bookmark name, the corresponding relationship between the domain name and the corresponding bookmark name may be established in the mean while, so as to update the pre-configured corresponding relationship between the domain names and the bookmark names.
Through step S32, the access records of the user can be analyzed on the basis of the user identifier, and therefore, different users can be distinguished, thereby protecting privacy of the user.

It should be understood that, when the second processing module 1001 uses the titles as the corresponding bookmark names, the corresponding relationship between the domain names and the corresponding bookmark names may be established at the same time, and in this way, it is not required to re-obtain the titles corresponding to the domain names each time.
The bookmark generation module 1002 is configured to generate the bookmarks according to the corresponding relationship between the top N domain names and the corresponding bookmark names.
The gateway is, for example, the WEB/WAP gateway in the following, so as to describe operation of the system 700 according to the embodiment of the present invention, which is shown in
Step S1101: A user accesses http://domain1/ by a browser via the WEB/WAP gateway.
Step S1102: The WEB/WAP gateway forwards a request to a web server.
Step S1103: The web server returns a response.
Step S1104: The WEB/WAP gateway adds a bookmark toolbar in a page.
Step S1105: The WEB/WAP gateway returns a page response added with the bookmark toolbar to the browser.
Step S1106: The user continues to access other websites until the access is over, in which an access process is the same as step S1101 to step S1105.
Step S1107: The WEB/WAP gateway outputs a page (such as, HTML, XHTML and WML) access record of the user to the bookmark server, in which the record includes a user identifier (for example, a mobile phone number), a domain name (for example, domain 1) and number of accessed times, etc.
Step S1108: The bookmark server analyzes the access records of the user in a period of time (for example, one day or one week), collects the top N domain names in terms of the number of accessed times by the user, and performs matching according to a pre-configured corresponding relationship between domain names and bookmark names, for example, http://www.huawei.com/ corresponds to “huawei”, and “http://www.sina.com.cn/” corresponds to “sina”. If the matching is unsuccessful, the bookmark server initiates a request to the server corresponding to the domain name, obtains a title from a web page and uses the title as the bookmark name.
Step S1109: The bookmark server generates the bookmarks according to the top N domain names and the bookmark names.
Step S1110: The user can access the automatically generated bookmarks through the bookmark toolbar link added by the WEB/WAP gateway in the page or by directly accessing the bookmark server URL.
Persons skilled in the art should understand that, the technical solution is not limited to the WEB/WAP gateway which is an explicit proxy server. If other network element apparatuses can implement implicit proxy server with transparent proxy, such as an Internet Proxy or a Service Control Gateway, which has a function of transparently changing the request of the user and a response packet (for example, inserting the bookmark toolbar), automatic bookmarks at a network side may be also implemented through the present invention.
Persons of ordinary skill in the art should understand that all or a part of the processes of the method according to the embodiments may be implemented by a computer program instructing relevant hardware. The program may be stored in a computer readable storage medium. When the program is run, the processes of the methods according to the embodiments are performed. The storage medium may be a magnetic disk, an optical disk, a read-only memory (ROM) or a random access memory (RAM).
The above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited hereto. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and principle of the present invention should fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is subject to the protection scope of the claims.
