Example two

As another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the present embodiment provides a method for recommending a website. The method provided by the embodiment is an improvement of the method provided by the first embodiment.

The method provided by the embodiment is realized through the interaction of the browser and the server. It should be noted that the method provided by this embodiment is started after receiving an instruction from a user to start a browser start page, and finally the user is presented with a start page with a recommended website by the method of this embodiment. In this embodiment, the manner for the user to issue the instruction to start the browser start page includes two manners, one is that the user starts the browser for the first time after the terminal device (e.g., computer) starts up for the second time to issue the instruction to start the browser start page, and the second is that the user has started up the browser and issues the instruction to start the browser start page by clicking a button of a new tab page provided by the browser.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a specific method for recommending a website according to an embodiment of the present invention, which includes steps S301 to S308.

Step S301 is performed by the browser after receiving an instruction from the user to start the browser start page. In step S301, it is detected whether there is an operation record of the web address by the user through the browser. When not present, step S302 is performed, and when present, step S303 is performed.

The conditions that no operation record of the user on the website exists in step 301 include two types:

the first method is that when the browser is used for the first time, namely when the browser is used for the first time after being installed, no operation record of a user on a website exists;

secondly, after the user clears the operation record of the user in the browser, the operation record of the user on the website does not exist.

In this embodiment, if the browser start page shows the recommended website to the user in the manner of a nine-square grid, it is detected whether an operation record of the user on the website in the nine-square grid exists.

It should be noted that the "squared figure" in this embodiment is a presentation manner for a recommended web page in a start page of a browser, and specifically may be:

and displaying nine recommendation bits in a 3-by-3 style in a blank of the starting page, wherein the recommendation bits can be logos of the websites and are attached with corresponding website hyperlink, and when a user clicks the logos displayed in the recommendation bits, optionally opening the websites in a new window or a current window.

It should be noted that the "nine-square grid" merely represents a presentation manner of one recommendation site, and does not limit that the recommendation sites are necessarily nine sites in total "3 × 3", 16 sites in total "4 × 4", 12 sites in total "4 × 3", and so on.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the indication to start the browser start page is a cold start command issued by the user, that is, the start is directly performed by a shortcut of the browser, and is not performed by other third-party programs, for example, the start is not performed by clicking a hyperlink, because the browser directly opens a page corresponding to the hyperlink and does not display the start page.

Next, the operation procedures of step S302 and step S303 are specifically described.

S302, a default website recommendation list is obtained, and the recommended websites are displayed on the start page of the browser.

The websites included in the default website recommendation list in this embodiment are fixed, and the websites are preset, so that when there is no operation record of the user on the websites and a recommended website suitable for the user cannot be obtained according to user behavior analysis, the recommended website is displayed in the start page.

Optionally, when the default website recommendation list is obtained in step S302, at least two ways are included:

the first mode is as follows: and acquiring a default website recommendation list in an installation package of the browser.

And when a user installs the browser through the installation package, directly placing the default website recommendation list into the browser.

Optionally, the content of the default website recommendation list in the installation package may include a website URL (Uniform Resource Locator), a website name corresponding to the website URL, a website logo (micro-label) map corresponding to the website URL, and a category field to which the website belongs, such as a shopping website, a game website, an information website, and the like.

The second mode is as follows: and sending a request for acquiring a default website recommendation list to the server, and returning the default website recommendation list to the browser by the server when the server receives an instruction for acquiring the default website recommendation list, wherein at the moment, the browser side acquires the default website recommendation list. The default website recommendation list is generated or stored by the server in advance. Optionally, the content of the default website recommendation list in the server may include a website URL, a website name corresponding to the website URL, a website logo diagram corresponding to the website URL, a category field to which the website belongs, and the like.

In this embodiment, when it is detected in step 301 that there is an operation record of the user on the website, step S303 is executed, that is, the operation record of the user on the website through the browser is obtained, and it is determined whether the time during which the user does not operate any website is greater than or equal to the threshold, and when the time during which the user does not operate any website is greater than or equal to the threshold, the content of the recommended website displayed in the start page of the browser is not changed; when the non-operation time of the user on any one network address is greater than or equal to the threshold value, step S304 is executed.

The threshold in this embodiment may be any time length, for example, may be 7 consecutive active days, where the active day refers to a day when the user starts the browser, that is, the day is called an active day.

Step S304, confirming whether the website with the non-operation time being more than or equal to the threshold value is locked by the user. When the locked by the user, the website displayed in the browser start page is not changed, and when the locked website is not locked, step S305 is triggered to send an instruction to the server to re-order the recommendation list of the category to which the unlocked website belongs.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the web address in the browser start page displayed to the user generally includes two states: locked and unlocked;

the locked web address can be regarded as a recommended web address which is frequently used by the user and does not need to be changed, and therefore, the locked web address is always kept unchanged.

The website that is not locked can be updated according to the method provided in this embodiment, and step S305 is executed.

The user can make the website enter a locked state through editing, adding or dragging the website.

In this embodiment, the following steps of the method according to the embodiment of the present invention are specifically described with an unlocked website as one. And when a plurality of unlocked websites are available, the invention can be realized only by replacing the number of the unlocked websites in each step.

In step S305, an instruction to rearrange the recommendation list of the category to which the unlocked web address belongs is sent to the server;

after the server receives the instruction of rearranging the recommendation list of the category to which the unlocked website address belongs, which is sent by the browser, step S306 is executed. In step S306, the recommendation list of the category to which the unlocked web address belongs is rearranged.

In step S307, the server sends the rearranged website recommendation list to the browser.

It should be noted that the server mainly includes the following contents in the website recommendation list:

(1) website URLs, such as: www.taobao.com, respectively;

(2) the name of the website corresponding to the URL of the website, such as: d, panning;

(3) a website logo image corresponding to the website URL;

(4) a classification field: such as shopping web site, game web site, and information web site.

The database format of the server storage website recommendation table is shown in table 1:

TABLE 1

After receiving the rearranged website recommendation list returned by the server, the browser continues to execute step S308. In step S308, the website recommendation position of the start page of the browser is updated according to the rearranged website recommendation list and the locally stored user access list.

In this embodiment, the user access list includes websites with access times greater than a preset number, for example, websites with access times greater than 5 times, and the specific numerical value may be set according to different scenarios.

Optionally, the specific operation of step S308 may be performed through the following steps, and for this reason, fig. 4 is further provided in the embodiment of the present invention, which is a flowchart illustrating a method for updating a website recommendation bit of a start page of a browser, where the method specifically includes step S3081 to step S3087.

And S3081, removing unlocked websites from the website recommendation bits in the start page, and sequentially advancing subsequent websites of the websites to enable the last website recommendation bit in the start page to be a blank bit.

Step S3082, a user access list stored locally is obtained, and the website types of the user access list are sequenced.

For example, if the website most frequently visited by the user is pan (www.taobao.com), and the second ranked is fox video (tv. Shopping websites and video websites.

And S3083, starting from the highest-ranked website type, sequentially judging whether the websites of each website type exist in the website recommendation positions, or sequentially judging whether the number of the websites of the type existing in the website recommendation positions is less than the preset number.

When the website under the webpage type does not exist in the website recommendation position or the number of the websites under the webpage type existing in the website recommendation position is less than the preset number, executing the step S3084; and executing the step S3087 when the websites in the webpage type exist in the website recommendation positions or the number of the websites in the webpage type exist in the website recommendation positions is not less than the preset number.

Step S3084, a request for obtaining the first lower ranked website of the type is sent to the server.

And step S3085, receiving the first lower ranking website of the type returned by the server.

And step S3086, adding the first ranked website to the blank position for displaying.

It should be noted that, in the browser provided in this embodiment, a blacklist mechanism may also be included, that is, the website added to the blacklist by the user is not displayed in the recommendation position, even if the website with the first rank is not displayed.

For the websites in the blacklist, the user can actively add the websites to the recommendation bit of the start page, and the websites are deleted in the blacklist.

Step S3087, a website is randomly acquired from the service and added to the blank position for displaying.

In this embodiment, since a qualified recommended website cannot be found, a website can be randomly chosen from the website recommendation list for the user to be added to the blank position.

In this embodiment, the display mode of the website in the recommendation position includes, but is not limited to, the following modes:

(1) and displaying through a squared figure.

The nine-square grid mode may be that nine recommendation bits are displayed in a form of "3 × 3" (not necessarily 3 × 3) in a blank of the start page, the recommendation bits may be a logo of a website and are attached with corresponding website hyperlinks, and when a user clicks the logo displayed in the recommendation bits, the website is optionally opened in a new window or a current window.

(2) The web pages are classified according to the types of the web pages and are displayed on a starting page of the browser according to the sequence.

For example, the websites in the start page may be classified into categories of shopping, videos, games, and the like, and the corresponding websites are displayed in the order under each category.

(3) And classifying according to the keywords input by the user, and displaying the recommended websites matched with the keywords under classification.

For example, the user may optionally sort through categories such as: games, food, etc., and the browser is classified according to keywords included in a website of each website and displayed on a start page of the browser.

(4) And displaying the recommended website according to the use habit of the user on the browser.

Further, in this embodiment, in addition to performing web page recommendation according to the website type of the website frequently visited by the user, the following method may be adopted:

the method comprises the steps of obtaining the website type of a recommended website selected by a user and/or a keyword selected by the user, sending the website type and/or the keyword selected by the user to a server, receiving a website corresponding to the website type and/or the keyword selected by the user and returned by the server, and displaying the website in a recommendation position of a start page.

In the method, the keywords selected by the user can be combined to obtain the recommended website, so that more humanized recommendations are given to the user.

The user may also obtain the recommended web page only by selecting the website type, for example: the browser may provide the user with several types of web sites: "travel", "video", "game", "sports", if the user selects a game, the user is given a web address recommending the game category.
