detailed description

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided for more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

Embodiment one

This embodiment provides a method for loading map information in a browser. FIG. 1 shows its flow chart. As shown in FIG. 1 , at least step S102 to step S110 are included, wherein:

Step S102: setting the map information loading page in the new tab page of the browser;

Step S104: Load and execute the map script file in the map information loading page;

Step S106: receiving parameters configured by the user;

Step S108: Obtain map data and/or other recommended data;

Step S110: Display the map data and/or other recommended data in a browser window.

It can be seen that, according to the method shown in this embodiment, the interactive data of the user can be received in the new tab page of the browser, and the data of the map website can be obtained and displayed to the user, which enriches the information display mode of the initial page of the browser; and the user The map data of interest can be received without opening a special map website, which greatly facilitates the user's acquisition of map data.

The method described in this embodiment starts from step S102, specifically: in this embodiment, the new tab page of the browser contains multiple channels, such as "Most Visited", "Today's Headlines", "Hot Movies and TV", " Music Collection", "Game Center", "My Website", "Boutique Shopping" and "My Maps". Each channel displays different types of Internet resources for the user, and "My Map" corresponds to the map channel, and the map information loading page described in step S102 is included in the map channel.

Due to the large number of channels, the user can display a predetermined number of channel entries at an appropriate position on the new tab page through "Channel Management", preferably at the bottom of the new tab page. Figure 4 shows a schematic diagram of the "Channel Management" page according to this embodiment, the user selects the channel entry to be displayed in a new tab page by clicking on the channel icon or channel name in the "Channel Management"; in this embodiment , select the My Maps channel.

The user opens a new tab page in the browser, and by selecting the channel entry of "My Maps" at the bottom of the new tab page, multiple map shortcuts of the map channel are displayed in the new tab page. Fig. 5 exemplarily shows multiple map shortcuts of the map channel in the new tab page, including "360 map", "my hotel", "my restaurant", "my KTV" and so on. The map shortcut has a thumbnail for display, and the thumbnail can be originally configured by the browser, so as to facilitate the user to recognize the shortcut more easily.

Each map shortcut corresponds to a configuration file stored on the browser side, and the configuration file includes the location parameter and category parameter. Wherein, the position parameter identifies a reference position, and the map data will be acquired and displayed based on it; the category parameter identifies the category of the navigation information that needs to be displayed on the map.

Next, the user clicks a map shortcut to load and execute the map script file, that is, step S104 is executed. The map script file is a Javascript file. By calling the map API provided by the professional map application service provider (such as GoogleMapsAPI provided by Google Maps, or Baidu Maps Javascript API), the map data is obtained from the service provider's map server and displayed on the browser side. .

The following is an example to introduce the map script file that calls GoogleMapsAPI as follows:

In the above example, the GLatLng() function calls the position parameter to obtain Google map data for its reference, and can display it in a browser window with a width of 500px and a height of 300px.

Furthermore, you can use the GMap2 object to set the attributes of the map, interact with the map, etc., including the display mode of the map, and display the location-type recommendation data corresponding to the category parameters on the map.

The functions and objects involved in the map script file are provided or specified by GoogleMapsAPI, and the specific details will not be repeated here.

Therefore, before acquiring and displaying the map data, parameters configured by the user, including location parameters, need to be received, as shown in step S106. The position parameter includes the position input by the user, the position selected by the user on the map, the position saved by the user, etc.; the user can configure the position parameter through the position setting interface as shown in Figure 6, and the input box indicates the position input by the user. Location, the "Map Click" on the right below indicates the location clicked by the user on the map, and the "Favorite Point" in the middle below indicates the user's favorite location; of course, the configuration method of location parameters is not limited to this, when this implementation When the example browser is applied to a mobile device, the location parameters can also be determined directly through GPS or wireless network signals, as shown in "My Location" on the left side of the bottom of Figure 6.

After the configuration of the location parameter is completed, the location parameter is stored in the configuration file corresponding to the map shortcut for calling by the map script file.

Next, further configure classification parameters, including transportation, food, hotels, entertainment, or life services; FIG. 7 shows typical classification parameters included in the map application, which can be determined by user selection. After the configuration of the classification parameters is completed, the classification parameters are stored in the configuration file corresponding to the map shortcut for calling by the map script file. Of course, the classification parameters can also be initially configured by the browser itself; for example, the classification parameters of the configuration file corresponding to the map shortcut "My Hotel" are configured as hotels, and the classification parameters of the configuration file corresponding to "My Catering" are configured. For gourmet.

Going down to step S108, the map data and/or the corresponding position recommendation data are obtained via the map script file and according to the parameters configured by the browser user. For example, if the user clicks the map shortcut "My Hotel", the classification parameter of the configuration file is hotel; the location is selected as "Wudaokou, Beijing" through the location setting interface shown in Figure 6, and the configuration file in the The location parameter is set to the latitude and longitude of Wudaokou, Beijing. Next, the browser will obtain map data based on Wudaokou and corresponding location recommendation data, that is, hotel navigation information around Wudaokou, from a map application service provider (such as Google Maps).

After the map data and location-type recommendation data are acquired, step S110 is executed to display the data in a browser window via a map script file.

Furthermore, users can also perform user operations in the map information display window, including searching, zooming, etc., all of which can be done through map script files, which are the same as direct operations on Google Maps or Baidu Maps. The implementation details are here No longer.

Preferably, according to this embodiment, the location parameter of the map shortcut may also include a starting location and an end location, for example, in the map shortcut "My Route-Tibet" shown in FIG. 5 , its location parameter includes the starting location (current "My location") and end location (Tibet). Correspondingly, step S108 also includes generating route data according to the starting position and the end position via the map script file, and displaying the map data including the route data in step S110. Preferably, the thumbnail of the map shortcut "My Route-Tibet" is generated according to the map data including the route data, so as to make it more intuitive and directly provide the user with an approximate route status in the thumbnail, which improves the user experience.

Embodiment two

On the basis of Embodiment 1, this embodiment further includes the step of: downloading the map data obtained and displayed by the user multiple times to the browser side or the server side corresponding to the browser, and generating user data of the current browser user.

By downloading the map data obtained by the user multiple times from the map server of the map application service provider and serving as the user data of the current browser user on the browser side, it can be guaranteed that it can still be loaded in the new tab page of the browser even when the network is unavailable The map data further enriches the content presentation of the new tab page and greatly improves user experience.

Optionally, the map data obtained by the user multiple times can also be downloaded from the map server of the map application service provider to the server side corresponding to the browser, which can ensure that when the network condition of the map server is not good, the map data can still be downloaded from the server side corresponding to the browser. Get the map data. Specifically, the server corresponding to the browser refers to the file storage server provided by the browser service provider, such as the file storage provided by Qihoo 360 for the browser user corresponding to 360 Safe Browser, which is used to store the user's personal user data.

Further, FIG. 8 shows a flowchart of a method for acquiring map data according to this embodiment, including:

Step S801, check whether the network condition is smooth?

If not, execute step S805 to obtain locally stored map data from the browser;

If yes, perform step S802, send http request network API data, that is, request map data from the map server;

Then, all enter into step S806, process data, promptly display map data in browser form;

Simultaneously, step S803 is also executed after step S802, comparing the acquired map data with the local map data version stored on the browser side, and judging whether the local map data version is relatively low;

If yes, execute step S804 to download and update local map data.

Optionally, step S803 can also compare the acquired map data with the version of the map data downloaded to the server side corresponding to the browser to determine whether the version of the map data on the server side corresponding to the browser is relatively low; if so, step S804 also The map data on the server side corresponding to the browser can be downloaded and updated.

Embodiment three

Further, in this embodiment, according to the map data acquired and displayed by the user multiple times, the position parameter and the category parameter are extracted to generate a newly added map shortcut. For example, if the user obtains the map information of the museum many times, and judges that the user is interested in the museum information, a map shortcut "My Museum" is automatically added to the map information loading page, and the classification parameter settings in the configuration file of the map shortcut For the museum; thereby facilitating users to access museum map information more easily.
