The detailed description of most preferred embodiment
At first with reference to figure 1, server shown in the figure 10 comprises website 11 in the server 10, and it realizes according to the present invention, comprises and/or load dependent content is provided.Can conduct interviews by the 12 pairs of servers 10 in the Internet by the IP ability network terminal with 14 expressions among the figure.For example, IP capable terminal 14 can be by access point 16 access the Internet 12 such as ISP or acting server.IP capable terminal 14 disposes explorer 15 and operating system software.Although this description will concentrate in the scope of the IP capable terminal that is connected to the Internet and provide on the embodiment of load dependent content, it more generally is applicable to any packet-based terminal that is connected to server by packet network.
In first embodiment, website 11 comprises the display element of an above pattern, and these different types have different complicacy, but importantly, spends the different time to download.Display element is any single download part of webpage.Typical webpage comprises one group of display element.For example, display element can be an image, and presses the increasing order of complicacy, and different patterns may be low resolution jpeg image, high resolving power jpeg image and .avi or .mov video clipping.
Html page also comprises " dynamic content module ", the download of its request display element, and more particularly, its request is from the display element as the different types of the function of load designator of website 11.
For the webpage that has audio content on the client 18 who downloads to website 11, the audio frequency of different types preferably also provides with the increasing order of data volume.For example, data volume may be different because of compression, duration and sampling rate.Load designator is depended in the download of the audio frequency of various types, for the display element of any other type, also is like this.
Load designator
Load designator is any amount that can be used to refer to load.Best, client 18 makes the load designator request.But load designator also can be included in the content that begins to download on the client 18.
In one embodiment, server 10 downloads to the time that client 18 and recording responses are returned with test pattern (for example logo), and utilizes the indication of this time as server load, and this indication then can be downloaded on the client 18.Obviously, the response time of increase reflects the load that is used for sending to from server the relevant increase of the resource of IP capable terminal.The load of this increase can reflect the load that increases on the load of increase general on the Internet 12 or the particular server 10.
Should be appreciated that the mode of this test pattern method of many realizations.Fig. 2 illustrates a kind of process flow diagram of method.For example, server 10 at first sends html page to client 18 (client's browser), wherein comprises the instruction such as java script and/or dHTML code.Described code indication client's machine 14 starts timer and follows the file of request such as jpeg (image file).In case file download to finish, stop timer and value is stored in client or server end as a reference.This reference value then is used as load designator, and it is determined will by which file of network download, to guarantee that in most of the cases client needn't wait for the long time.
In another embodiment, server 10 can be configured to keep performance statistics, and described performance statistics comprises that some can be used as the measurement of the load of load designator, and can automatically or according to request be downloaded to client 18.Fig. 3 illustrates the process flow diagram of the example of carrying out this method.At first, how busy server 10 directly reads the router that is connected to the Internet 12 has.This value is sent to client 18 (client's browser) with the form of html page as title (value in the page).This value then is used as load designator.
In another example that Fig. 4 of server 10 direct available performance statisticses describes, counting and each request that server 10 keeps it to serve how many requests have much.Server 10 calculates its capacity/load designator according to these information.This value is sent to client 18 (client's browser) with the form of html page as title (value in the page).This value then is used as load designator, and which file it determines to download.
Best, as in above-mentioned each example, load designator has real-time characteristic to a certain degree, i.e. nearest load indication is used in expression.But in another embodiment, load designator can be certain time empirical function, and it represents load on statistics.For example, the content of website can be used as the function of historical web page browsing point blow mode and dynamic change.For example noon every day, server may be busier, so the content of that time will be reduced.Do like this not so accurately (although still effective to a certain extent).
In another embodiment that the process flow diagram of Fig. 5 is described, an independence or some stand-alone machines that distributes geographically have timer, and they are activated when request is sent in the website of company at described machine.In case finish request, stop timer and by server 10 record values.This process can repeat many times at one hour.When server 10 when the client receives request to webpage, the web server is according to IP Address Recognition client's position.In a kind of alternatives, server 10 sends html pages to client 18, wherein has from physically near the value of the stand-alone machine of client position.On the other hand, server 10 sends html pages to client 18, wherein has request from physically near the instruction of the value of the machine of client position.This value then is used as load designator.
Additive factor
Although load designator is always indicated load to a certain extent, when the display element of which pattern of decision request, can consider additive factor.For example, can carry out the detection of client's connection speed (Modem (modulator-demodular unit) by IP capable terminal place determines), and this speed becomes the factor in the decision.Except load designator, also consider connection speed, to determine the display element of which pattern of request.
Fig. 6 illustrates the process flow diagram of method of a kind of client's of measurement connection speed.At first, server 10 sends html pages to client 18, wherein comprises the code (for example java script and/or dHTML code) that reads connection speed being provided with of the direct operating system from machine 14 of the browser 15 of indicate client.The connection speed reading is stored in local client or server end as a value.This value then is used to determine and will passes through those files of network download together with load designator.
In another embodiment, provide client to adjust controlling mechanism, the user of IP capable terminal 14 is by its optional content level.For example, it can provide with the form of slide block mechanism (slidermechanism).Then,, also consider content level, to determine the display element of which pattern of request by user's selection except load designator.
Fig. 7 illustrates the process flow diagram that a kind of like this client adjusts measurement mechanism.Beginning, server 10 sends the page to client 18, and this page comprises makes page displayed comprise that popup menu, slide block or other certain permission client are provided with the code of the mechanism of required contents value.The value of client's input/setting will be stored on local client or the server.This value then is used to determine to pass through which file of network download together with load designator.
The dynamic content module
The content that the dynamic content module be responsible for to be determined to download as the function of load designator.As described below, additional " content criteria " can be used to determine to want downloaded contents.Any suitable technology all can be used to realize this function.For example, it can be realized with java script, Java Applet, dynamic HTML, XML, other mark program or pattern or integrating browsing device mechanism.
Fig. 8 illustrates the process flow diagram of processing of the particular display element of dynamic content module.Preferably the dynamic content module is downloaded to client 18 from server 10.
At first, the dynamic content module obtains load designator and any content criteria that other is suitable for and determines which pattern of download according to load designator and content criteria.Next the request of dynamic content module is downloaded suitable obj ect file from server 10.On browser, show this page or leaf then.
The object editing device
Be preferably the Web page maker object editing device is provided, to select page object and to set up object and replace tabulation.When selecting special object in the webpage/object's position in structure, it is set about carrying out.It allows the Web page maker to be arranged on size and or the predetermined variant of transformable page object qualitatively.Each variant is set as under certain loading condition and is activated.
Fig. 9 A illustrates the example that the deviser can carry out interactive GUI (graphic user interface) screen with the object editing device, and it generally is expressed as 30.Sample webpage 32 in the structure is shown in the back of GUI screen 30, supposes that wherein the user has selected great bell (Big Ben) image 34, it will be modified to has load dependent content.GUI 30 provides the upper part 31 that comprises pattern identifier field 36,38,40,42, is used to discern the display element of some different types, wherein 4 shown in the example shown.Preferably provide normative document classification navigation mechanism, with the convenient required file of selecting by folder icon 44 expressions.When selecting each obj ect file, preferably it is shown and preview on webpage 32.For each pattern identifier field 36,38,40,42, provide a kind of mechanism to select to show the scope of the loading condition of the pattern of being discerned.The number percent of the maximum load that this preferably represents according to the load designator that shows specific pattern on it is selected.In the example shown, 95+ has been chosen as the threshold condition 46 of display mode blank.jpg 36.This expression only in server condition 95% or display mode blank.jpg when above.With the threshold condition 48 of threshold value 65+ input as display mode lowben.gif 38.This expression is when server condition is between 65% and 95%, with display mode lowben.gif.Similarly, threshold value 45+ and 0+ are transfused to, and they are respectively as the threshold condition 50,52 of bighen.jpg 40 and aniben.mov 42.Can provide " interpolation " and " deletion " button to add other pattern identifier field or deletion existing type identifier field.Although " server condition " is used to indicate the load designator threshold value, can adopt any suitable load designator threshold value.
The center section 60 of GUI 30 shows the information about selected pattern in the pattern that identifies in the pattern identifier field.The information of selecting to show which pattern can for example be finished by carry out click on circle by the circle 56 of highlight near the pattern title.In the example shown, selected the bottom 42 of four patterns.The information in the center section 60 of being presented at comprises object size, object type 64 and for estimation download time 62 of specific optional modem speed 68.

In another embodiment, the object editing device can produce XML sign (or some other sign), described sign will be read by browser, java applet or java script program, and they will know how to explain these marks and carry out the suitable required code of content of demonstration.These marks are parameter (for example: when server is busy, show the blank image of this object, when server is not in a hurry, color display).
In this manner, can utilize top illustrative substitution table to select the content that changes for image.Under a kind of similar mode, can select the content of variation for link, described link appears in the webpage by the connection substitution table is provided, and can be the content that text selecting changes, and described text appears in the webpage by the text block substitution table is provided.For in these substitution tables each, can select to determine to show in which scope of load designator the criterion of which independent object.
Fig. 9 B is an example that is commonly designated as 150 GUI screen, and the deviser carries out reciprocation by it and Linkage Editor function.And the sample webpage 32 in GUI screen 150 back have been illustrated to make up supposes that wherein the user has selected linked object 152, and it will be modified to has load dependent content.GUI 150 has a plurality of server condition points 154,156 (only illustrating 2), and they allow deviser's definition will show the various server load scopes of specific link.For various server condition, exist and be used to import the field 158,160 of the text that will be presented at the page, and the field 162,164 that is used to specify the URL of link.Be provided for deleting the deletion link button 166 of such link, offer help and select the browser document button 168 of link.Also be useful on the field 170,172 of recognition objective frame and/or additional HTML.In the example shown, the top of display screen 150 relates to the server condition of 95+, and the lower part of display screen relates to the server condition of 0+.Therefore, will under percent 0 conditions to 95, be shown in server load by the link of lower part sign.For example, one of two parts of GUI 150 can be selected by clicking suitable circle 174,176, and utilize deletion respectively and add button 178,180 and delete and add.
This allows the selection of text and the URL function as load designator is changed.Best, when the user changes text for link, upgrade background and show 32, will how to influence demonstration to show this.
Best, GUI can represent the page rank of website to become the selected server of each different loading condition and the busy function of link.Its example is shown in Figure 16, and wherein busy and link relates to first server condition point of the less page in the classification for server, has first page rank 200.Second classification 202 shown in the figure, being used for the not busy and various piece website of server has the more situation of multiple web pages.A kind of like this classification will fetch structure from the chain being embedded in each page.
In another embodiment, be not for each independent object provides optional scope, but selection is applied to the scope on the public content level.For example, have three kinds of content level, they are defined and are used for the object that all have load dependent content.This has eliminated the needs of resetting load designator for each object.
In yet another embodiment, can show diverse layout according to load designator.
The performance viewing tool
An alternative embodiment of the invention is provided for monitoring the outward appearance of the webpage that utilizes the load dependent content design and the instrument of performance.Instrument is preferably by determining the big or small Calais mutually of all objects that will show and text the webpage size as the function of load under the different loads value.For example, when server is 95% when busy, the object size of the page may be added up and be reached 10K, but when server be 25% when hurrying, the object size on the page may be added up and be reached 200K.Object size under the given server condition is known.Best, calculate under each load and the approximate time of under optional modem rate, downloading full page.Also calculate on the webpage number of objects as the function of load, and the sum of definite available objects.
Because viewing tool knows page size by all objects on each server condition lower page are added up, therefore it can predict roughly that given amount of bandwidth can handle how many clients browsing pages simultaneously.Conversely, it can predict roughly how many bandwidth are the fixed page number needs that sends to sizing simultaneously need.These quantity are the guilding principle that the Web page maker works basically.
At last, preferably provide accession page to browse the interface of clicking rate information.Here suppose that webpage worked a period of time, therefore collected clicking rate information.The general quantity of representing the page browsing that different time occurs in a day of clicking rate information.Figure 14 provides its example, wherein is that the basis illustrates part-time page browsing clicking rate information in the particular month with the sky.Best, this information can select with hour, day, week, month in addition year be that the basis shows.
Calculate and/or may be displayed on such as being superimposed upon shown in the example among Figure 10 and be observed on the GUI screen 100 on the webpage 32 by the information that the performance viewing tool obtains.The top 101 of GUI screen 100 illustrates slide block 102, and it can for example use mouse between two extremums of load, promptly moves between 100% busy 104 and 0% busy 106.According to the position of slide block 102, the preview of the whole webpage 32 that demonstration will show under the sort of loading condition.Therefore, corresponding the look and feel of slide block 102 simulation different server conditions and webpage 32.
Preferably providing a kind of mechanism to be used to write down client has been written into the webpage of which pattern and has had multifrequency numerous.Thereby can produce report notice webpage provider relevant they whether should buy more bandwidth more frequent more abundant content is provided.Report mechanism is preferably answered some problems, such as media message change in the browser degree of functioning for the buyer how, owing to adopting load dependent content to serve how many extra clients, whether overdesign or need more bandwidth of website.
Best, these methods can be applied to some web servers and dynamically change content of pages.This is applicable to when web site contents that several server mirrorings are identical or website are divided into several portions by several server services.
The report that those embodiment of the present invention produce is put up with each and/or Servers-all and will be sent what content and report (if desired, report being merged into one).
Client's given content
Best, provide a kind of mechanism to surmount the server condition point for selected client.The client that preferably classifies group is to receive same processing.
Below for being applied to the example that surmounts of different client's groups:
1) constant or default setting-utilize normal server condition point
2) greatest content-this has the result who only shows the maximum possible object
3) after the content that always increases-this expression is determined as the user's of the function of load content, if possible, increase described content.For example, this can reduce certain number percent (10 to 20) and realize by all trigger points are set.Therefore, if plan image is written into when trigger value is 50, will when being 40 or 30, trigger value be written into now.Even this shows the many pages that will serve are arranged, but client's browser will be downloaded the more images content.
4) after the content that always reduces-this expression is confirmed as the user's of the function of load content, if possible, reduce described content.For example, this can realize by all trigger points increases (10 to 20) are set.If plan image is written into when trigger value is 50, will when being 60 or 70, trigger value be written into now.
5) content that reduces when needed-this only has in value above threshold value, for example 50, the time result of all trigger points increases (10 to 20) is set.This only has to become at server and is written into result than the image that lacks under the normal condition in busy.
6) minimum contents-this has the result who only shows the object that minimum is possible.
For example, can be labeled as " gold ", " silver ", " copper " and " the unknown ", above-mentioned one of surmount randomly is applied to each client and organizes with customer classification for group.Shown in Figure 11 to the example that surmounts the GUI screen of controlling 122 that is applied to different groups.Best, client's screen 122 and the right of priority screen of discussing before 30 can be by two selectable markers, 121,31 visits that are labeled as " client " and " right of priority ".Here,, under illustrative in the above gold, silver, copper and the condition of unknown, provide to surmount and select to enter field 123, occur drop-down menu 124 when selected, wherein list top 6 options that identify above for each classification or " access level " 120.So the user can select one of them option for particular group.
