This application is based upon and claims the priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201710449156.1, filed on Jun. 14, 2017, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
The present disclosure generally relates to the field of terminal technology, and more particularly, to a method, an electric device and a computer-readable storage medium for updating a page.
When contents of a page are updated, an electric device may need to update all elements in the page for displaying an updated page.
However, such an update creates some issues. For example, if the data volume to be updated is large, and after a refresh operation to a page is executed by a user, it will take a long period of time to update all elements in the page completely. Sometimes, it may take 3 seconds. While the page is updating, none of changes in the page can be observed by the user even after the page is changed as a whole.
Accordingly, it is required for the user to wait for a certain period of time after the execution of the refresh operation before the change of the page can be observed. This delay results in a significant lag and a poor viewing experience.
Examples of the present disclosure provide a method, an electric device and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for updating a page.
According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a method for updating a page. The method may include acquiring data to be updated for the page; dividing the data to be updated into N sets of sub-data, where N is an integer that is greater than 1; and updating each set of sub-data in the N sets of the divided data.
According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided an electronic device for updating a page. The electronic device may include a processor; and a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor, where the processor may be configured to: acquire data to be updated for a page; divide the data to be updated into N sets of sub-data, where N is an integer that is greater than 1; and update each set of sub-data in the N sets of the divided data.
According to a third aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a computer-readable storage medium having stored therein computer programs that, when the computer programs are executed by a processor, may cause the processor to perform acquiring data to be updated for a page; dividing the data to be updated into N sets of sub-data, where N is an integer that is greater than 1; and updating each set of sub-data in the N sets of the divided data.
It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the present disclosure.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate examples consistent with the present disclosure and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the present disclosure.

For example, the dimensions and/or relative positioning of some of the elements in the figures may be exaggerated relative to other elements to help to improve understanding of various examples of the present disclosure. Also, common but well-understood elements that are useful or necessary in a commercially feasible example are often not depicted in order to facilitate a less obstructed view of these various examples. It will further be appreciated that certain actions and/or steps may be described or depicted in a particular order of occurrence while those skilled in the art will understand that such specificity with respect to sequence is not actually required. It will also be understood that the terms and expressions used herein have the ordinary technical meaning as is accorded to such terms and expressions by persons skilled in the technical field as set forth above, except where different specific meanings have otherwise been set forth herein.
Detailed description of the examples will be made herein, with examples thereof to be shown in drawings. In the following descriptions, when the drawings are referred to, unless expressed otherwise, the same number in different drawings refers to the same or similar elements. The examples described in the examples as below do not represent all examples that are consistent with the present disclosure. On the contrary, they are only examples of the devices and the methods that are consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as recited in the claims.
The terminology used in the present disclosure is for the purpose of describing exemplary examples only and is not intended to limit the present disclosure. As used in the present disclosure and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It shall also be understood that the terms “or” and “and/or” used herein are intended to signify and include any or all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
It shall be understood that, although the terms “first,” “second,” “third,” and the like may be used herein to describe various information, the information should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one category of information from another. For example, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, first information may be termed as second information; and similarly, second information may also be termed as first information. As used herein, the term “if” may be understood to mean “when” or “upon” or “in response to” depending on the context.
In step S1, data to be updated of the page is acquired.
In an example, the step S1 can be performed when an instruction of updating a page is received, in which the instruction of updating the page can be generated by either clicking a refresh bottom in the page, or performing an operation such as page turning, page switching, and so on.
In an example, the page may be a static page, for example, a page of an electric book, a web page and so on. In another example, the page may be a dynamic page, for example, an animate browser window of a web page.
For the static page, in the case that an updated page is displayed not until all elements in the page have been updated, the user will not observe any change of the page during the updating, thus resulting in a significant lag if the time period of updating is long.
For the dynamic page, in the case that an updated page is displayed not until all elements in the page have been updated, if the updating takes a long period of time, such as 4 frames, the pages viewed at the 1th frame, at the 2th frame and the 3th frame respectively are the same as the page before updating, thus resulting in a significant lag.
The examples of the present disclosure are illustrated below mainly regarding the static page, and it should be understood that, as to the dynamic page, same beneficial effects can be achieved by the skilled in the art according to the examples of the present disclosure.
In step S2, the data to be updated is divided into N sets of sub-data, with N being an integer greater than 1.
In an example, the number of sets of sub-data may be determined according to a division rule predetermined, for example, the data to be updated is divided into fixed sets of sub-data, in which the number of the sets of sub-data is determined according to demands.
In an example, the number of sets of sub-data can be determined according to time required for completely updating the data to be updated by an electric device, for example, the data to be updated is divided into first sets of sub-data in the case that the time is greater than first predetermined time, while the data to be updated is divided into second sets of sub-data in the case that the time is less than or equal to the first predetermined time, in which the number of the first sets is greater than that of the second sets.
In the case that it takes long time to completely update all data to be updated, the data to be updated can be divided into the greater number of sets, so that the user is able to view the updating of a partial page continually during the whole period of updating the page completely, thus decreasing the lag after the page is refreshed by the user.
In the case that it takes short time to completely update all the data to be updated, the data to be updated is divided into the fewer number of sets, thus decreasing frequency of the updating while guaranteeing that the user is able to view the updating of a partial page continually, and further decreasing memory consumption of the electric device.
In an example, for the dynastic page, the data to be updated is divided according to a data volume which is allowed to be updated within one frame by the electric device, so as to contribute to updating the page, thus ensuring that contents in the dynastic page in each frame are changed, therefore decreasing the lag at watching.
Sometimes, for the simplicity, the data to be updated may be divided into a fixed number N sets of sub-data. N may be a predetermined number that may be set by a user. N may also be a default value that is set by a system program.
In step S3, each set of sub-data in the N sets of sub-data divided is updated.
During execution, each set of sub-data is updated according to an update order of the N sets of sub-data divided in the page.
In an example, one set or n sets of sub-data may be updated at each updating, in which n is an integer less than N, and specific number of sets can be determined according on demands.
In some examples, the update order is determined according to attribute information of each set of sub-data, for example, a set of sub-data including a root node may be updated first, followed by a rest set of sub-data; alternatively, one or more sets of sub-data corresponding to a display interface of the electric device may be updated first, followed by a rest set of sub-data. It should be noted that the update order is not limited to the above cases, and the specific update order can be determined according to demands.
In an example, the data to be updated is divided into N sets of sub-data, and each set of sub-data is updated according to an update order, so that the data to be updated is allowed to be updated in multiple times, i.e., it is not necessary to update the data to be updated all at once, thus shortening a time interval for each updating, so that a displayer of an electric device is able to display an updated page in several times and an time interval for each displaying of the updated page is much shorter than that between page refreshing and completely updating of the data to be updated, thereby ensuring that the user is able to view the change of the page continually, and reducing a lag at watching after the page is refreshed by the user.
In the step S4, an updated page is displayed after each updating of one set of sub-data.
In an example, an updated page is displayed after each updating of one set of sub-data, thus minimizing the time interval for displaying the updated page after each updating, and ensuring that the user is able to view the change of the page more continually, thereby, to a greater extent, reducing the lag at watching after the page is refreshed by the user.
In an example, for the static page, the updated page is displayed after each updating of one set of sub-data, no matter how long it will take for updating. In another example, for the dynamic page, after one set of sub-data is updated in one frame, the updated page is displayed in the page in the next frame.
In the step S21, time required for updating the data to be updated is calculated.
In the step S22, the data to be updated is divided into first sets of sub-data in the case that the time is greater than first predetermined time.
In the step S23, the data to be updated is divided into second sets of sub-data in the case that the time is less than or equal to the first predetermined time.
The number of the first sets is greater than that of the second sets.
In an example, the number of sets of sub-data may be determined according to time required for completely updating the data to be updated by an electric device. Specifically, the data to be updated is divided into first sets of sub-data in the case that the time is greater than first predetermined time (which can be set according to demands); and the data to be updated is divided into second sets of sub-data in the case that the time is less than or equal to the first predetermined time, in which the number of the first sets is greater than that of the second sets.
In the case that it takes long time to completely update all data to be updated, the data to be updated can be divided into the greater number of sets, so that the user is able to view the updating of a partial page continually during the whole period of updating the page completely, thus reducing the lag at watching after page refresh.
In the case that it takes short time to completely update all the data to be updated, the data to be updated is divided into the fewer number of sets, thus decreasing frequency of the updating while guaranteeing that the user is able to view the updating of a partial page continually, and further decreasing memory consumption of the electric device.
In an example, before the data to be updated is divided into multiple sets of sub-data, it may be determined that whether the time required for updating the data to be updated is greater than second predetermined time, and the data to be updated is divided into the multiple sets of sub-data and the subsequent steps are performed only in the case that the time is greater than the second predetermined time, in which the second predetermined time may be less than the first predetermined time.
That is, the data to be updated is divided into multiple sets of sub-data only in the case that it takes relative long time to update the data to be updated. However, in the case that it takes relative short time to update the data to be updated, i.e., the user is able to view fluently after page refreshing, all the data to be updated is updated directly, and the updated page is displayed after all the data to be updated have been updated, thus avoiding memory consumption of the electric device caused by division of the data to be updated.
In the step S24, a node to be updated in the page is determined.
In the step S25, the data to be updated is divided into N sets of sub-data, and each set of sub-data corresponds to an equal amount of the nodes to be updated.
In an example, the page updating mainly involves updating nodes which constitute a page. For example, for an Extensible Markup Language (XML) page, a Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) page, the page updating mainly involves updating nodes of a Document Object Model (DOM). The data to be updated is divided into multiple sets of sub-data, with each set of sub-data corresponding to an equal amount of the nodes to be updated, so that data corresponding to an equal amount of the nodes to be updated at each updating of one set of sub-data, thus, to some extent, ensuring that occupied memory required for each updating is of a similar volume, thereby avoiding the memory from being altered frequently.
In the step S26, a data volume of the data to be updated is determined.
In the step S27, the data to be updated is divided into the N sets of sub-data, and each set of sub-data is of an equal data volume.
In an example, based on the example of
In the step S31, a target region of the page corresponding to a display interface is determined, and a target set of sub-data in multiple sets of sub-data corresponding to the target region is determined.
In the step S32, the target set of sub-data is updated in the page.
In the step S33, a rest set of sub-data in the multiple sets of sub-data is updated in the page.
The rest set of sub-data refers to other sets of sub-data in the multiple sets of sub-data except for the target set of sub-data.
In an example, some pages having a relative large size cannot be displayed in the display interface completely because of a limited size of the display interface of the electric device, i.e., only a partial region of the page can be displayed in the display interface, and a rest region of the page needs to be dragged or zoomed out to be seen in the display interface.
In the case described above, at each updating of one set of sub-data, a target region of the page corresponding to the display interface can be predetermined, next a target set of sub-data in multiple sets of sub-data corresponding to the target region is further determined, then a target set of sub-data in multiple sets of sub-data is updated firstly, and a rest set of sub-data in the multiple sets of sub-data is updated thereafter, so as to ensure that the target region corresponding to the display interface which can be seen directly by the user can be updated firstly, so that the user is able to view the change of the page more quickly, thereby further decreasing the lag at watching after page refreshing.
In the step S331, an order of the rest set of sub-data in the page from a page header to a page footer is determined.
In the step S332, the rest set of sub-data in the page is updated according to the order.
The page will be changed as a whole after an instruction of updating is received; while in addition to the partial page displayed in the display interface which is viewed with priority, the user generally views the updated page according to an order from the page header to the page footer. Accordingly, in an example, the rest set of sub-data may be updated according to the order of the rest set of sub-data in the page, for example, the sub-data in the page can be updated sequentially according to the order from the page header to the page footer, thus ensuring that the sub-date corresponding to the page header which may be seen by the user at first is updated with priority, and further ensuring fluency at watching after the page is refreshed by the user.
