Description

Customize the method of sharing link preview information

The invention relates to a method for customizing preview information of a shared link, in particular to a method for customizing a webpage sharing platform such as a community website.

Webpage sharing platforms, including social networking sites or instant messaging software, in order to increase the attractiveness of sharing links, usually capture photos and titles of the sharing target webpage. However, due to the use of the machine to capture according to the existing defined rules, it often happens that the pictures and titles do not match the way the sharers expect to be presented on the community or platform, which reduces the appeal of others to view.

One category of the present invention is to provide a method for customizing the preview screen and title of a shared link, which is particularly applied to a shared link on a web sharing platform such as a community website to provide preview information corresponding to the original website.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for customizing preview information of a shared link includes receiving an original URL and at least one preview information provided by a user, creating a dynamic information file based on the preview information, and based on the dynamic information file and the The original URL generates a specific URL.

Wherein, the preview information can be a text or a multimedia file, the multimedia file The case includes one or a combination of a picture, a video, a music, a game (interactive program).

Another category of the present invention is to provide a method for allowing users to customize preview information of shared links.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for customizing shared link preview information includes receiving an access request of an object, and obtaining a dynamic information file corresponding to a specific URL of the source of the access request and a pair of a corresponding URL Original URL; according to a preset rule, determine whether the object is a general user (human); when the object is a non-general user, provide a dynamic information file; when the object is a general user, re-create the object To the original URL.

In summary, through the method for customizing the shared link preview information of the present invention, the user can customize the preview information corresponding to the original website and generate a sharing link that can be intercepted by programs (such as crawler robots), which can be solved Traditional sharing links often display information that the picture does not meet expectations.

Please refer to FIGS. 1A and 1B. FIG. 1 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a method for customizing and sharing link preview information according to the present invention. FIG. 1B is a flowchart of an embodiment of step 100 in FIG. 1A. The method for self-sharing shared link preview information of the present invention is applied to a network environment, and can enable a user to convert an original web page URL to be shared on a website server into a specific URL that can customize preview information through a user interface .

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a web page information transmission method is applied to a website server. The method includes step S100 receiving a preview information and an original URL provided by a user; S110 creates a dynamic information file based on the preview information; S120 Generate a specific URL according to the dynamic information file and the original URL. The user is defined as a real human in this specification, which can be a sharer who shares the URL or other viewers who click on the URL.

Step S100 of the present invention allows a user to select or provide a preview message of a text or multimedia file to be displayed by providing a user interface. The website server then creates a dynamic information file based on the input preview information (step S110), and generates a specific URL to pair with the dynamic information file (step S120) and stores it in a database.

Wherein, the above user interface may be a form displayed in a web browser, a browser plug-in, an APP application, or other content for the user to enter preview information Interface but not limited to this. In one embodiment, the specific URL may be an abbreviated URL. The preview information may be a text or a multimedia file, and the multimedia file includes one or a combination of a picture, a video, a music, and a game.

The user can provide or select the text or multimedia file to be previewed through the user interface. For example, when the web server receives the original URL provided by the user to be shared, the web server will first retrieve The information in the original URL (for example: title, summary information, meta information or pictures, etc.), and then generate at least one preview of the extracted information for the user to select, so that the user can choose Instead of uploading the preview information by yourself, directly select the preview information generated by the website server.

In addition, in addition to uploading a multimedia file, the multimedia file provided by the user on the user interface can also allow the web server to obtain the corresponding multimedia file through the link by giving a link.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1B, the method of receiving a preview information and an original URL provided by a user in step S100 further includes: step S101 obtains the original URL from the user, and S102 retrieves an extract from the original URL Fetching information, S103 generates one or more selectable preview information based on the retrieved information, S104 displays the selectable preview information on a user interface for the user to select and S105 receives at least one selectable option selected by the user Preview information as the preview information.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the dynamic information file is a file type that can be shared on a web page, but it can be, but not limited to, an HTML file compiled in a HyperText Markup Language (HTML), a video format File, or an image interchange format file.

Compared with the traditional abbreviated URL service, which simply matches the generated abbreviated URL with the corresponding original webpage URL, the present invention provides a specific URL with preview information. In an embodiment, the specific URL may be a shortened URL. When the user shares this specific URL to other sharing platforms or community websites with preview function, the preview information stored in the database can be previewed by reading the dynamic information file.

However, using a specific URL to share is the same as a normal URL. How to determine the identity of a visitor is an important issue. How to enable the shared website to retrieve the corresponding preview information instead of directly accessing the original web index Defined preview information. For example, when a user generates a specific URL with preview information through the above steps S100 to S120 and uses the specific URL to share it on Facebook (RTM) website, the Facebook crawler robot will Will go to the specific URL and get the preview information and display it on Facebook website.

However, if it is a real human visitor (for example, by clicking on a specific URL on Facebook), the specific URL should redirect such visitor to the original URL, so that the visitor sees the content of the original website, not just the preview information. Specific URL.

In short, as long as it is a non-human (such as a crawler robot) visitor, the website server using the method of the present invention will display specific preview information. On the contrary, the general viewer (human) visitor does not see the preview information, but directly leads to the original website.

Therefore, please refer to FIG. 2, which is a flowchart of another embodiment of a method for customizing and sharing link preview information according to the present invention. According to an embodiment, the method for customizing a sharing link includes the steps of: S200 receiving an access request of an object, and obtaining a dynamic information file corresponding to a specific URL of the access request source and a pair of original URLs corresponding to the specific URL ; S210 according to A preset rule to determine whether the object is a general user (human); S220 provides a dynamic information file when the object is not a general user; S230 redirects the object to the original when the object is a general user URL.

When the target is a non-general user, the non-general user sees a dynamic information file corresponding to a specific URL, and is not directed to the original URL.

In order to be able to effectively judge many different types of non-general users, the default rules may include multiple judgment methods. The methods of the following embodiments may exist at the same time or be judged layer by layer, but the order of layer by layer judgment is not described in this specification order of.

According to an embodiment, the default rule is to embed a redirection grammar of a browser-side programming language or hypertext markup language in the dynamic information file.

Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a flowchart of an embodiment for determining a non-general user in the preset rule of FIG. According to an embodiment, the default rule for determining whether it is a program (non-general user) includes the steps of: S310 pre-stores browser models of multiple programs in a database of the web server; S320 parses one of the objects for access Browser model; S330 When the accessed browser model exists in the database, it is determined that the object is a program.

Please also refer to FIG. 4, which is a flowchart of another embodiment for judging non-general users (programs) in the default rule of FIG. 2. According to another embodiment, compared to FIG. 3, the non-general user (program) is determined by the browser model, and the embodiment of FIG. 4 uses the Internet address (IP address) to determine whether the visitor object is a program. Therefore, in this embodiment, the default rule includes the steps of: S410 pre-stores an Internet address of a plurality of corresponding programs in a database of the web server; S420 parses an Internet address of the object; S430 When the Internet address exists in the database, the object is determined to be a program.

In addition, in general, most of the time, the specific purpose of generating a specific URL is to share it with a third-party sharing platform or social network. Therefore, there is also a very intuitive way of judging, that is, judging by using habits, when a specific URL is generated (a specific URL generated by a user through steps S100 to S120 of the present invention), except for the sharing source (that is, In addition to the owner of this specific URL, the first visitor who will visit this specific URL is a third-party sharing platform or a program on a social networking site (such as a crawler robot).

Referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a flowchart of another embodiment of the judgment program in the preset rule of FIG. 2. In this embodiment, in this method of judging by using habits, the default rule includes steps: S510 records an Internet address of the user; S520 compares the first Internet address of the object Whether it is the same as the Internet address of one of the users; if not in S530, it is judged that the object is a program.

In summary, the user can customize the preview information corresponding to the original website through the customized sharing link preview information method of the present invention, and generate a specific URL that can be intercepted by the program. Information with unsatisfactory information displays further increases the attractiveness of being clicked.
