[0024] In operation, terminals/clients and servers 502 may interact with each other to provide an information obtaining service to the user(s) of the terminals. Figure 1 illustrates a flow diagram of an exemplary information obtaining process consistent with the disclosed embodiments. [0025] As shown in Figure 1, the information obtaining process includes the following steps:

[0026] Step 101: an information obtaining apparatus downloads at least two pages of preset webpages when receiving a request for accessing the preset webpages sent from a client.

[0027] Step 102: the information obtaining apparatus extracts body content of the at least two pages of the preset webpages.

[0028] Step 103: the information obtaining apparatus splices and outputs the body content of the preset webpages in a predetermined sequence.

[0029] Before the information obtaining apparatus downloads at least two pages of preset webpages, the information obtaining apparatus may also determine the total number of the preset webpages to be downloaded.

[0030] More specifically, when determining the number of the preset webpages to be downloaded, the information obtaining apparatus may obtain access point information of the client and, based on the access point information of the client, the information obtaining apparatus judges whether network access of the client is charged according to traffic amount. If the network access of the client is not charged according to traffic, the information obtaining apparatus determines to download the first number of preset pages of the preset webpages; if the network access of the client is charged according to traffic, the information obtaining apparatus determines to download the second number of preset pages of the preset webpages.

[0031] Optionally, when the network access of the client is not charged according to traffic, and after the information obtaining apparatus splices and outputs the body content of the preset webpages in a predetermined sequence, the information obtaining process further includes that, when receiving a request for displaying the next page from the client, the information obtaining apparatus downloads the webpages after the first preset pages.

[0032] Further, when the access type of the client is charged according to traffic, after the information obtaining apparatus splices and outputs the body content of the preset webpages in a predetermined sequence, the information obtaining process further includes:

[0033] The information obtaining apparatus obtains the total number of spliced pages of the current page cached on the client and judges whether the number of the spliced pages exceeds a threshold value. If the number of the spliced pages exceeds the threshold value, the information obtaining apparatus discards certain webpages (e.g., designated webpages) of the current page and downloads webpages after the second number of preset pages.

[0034] In addition, when extracting body content of at least two pages of the preset webpages, the information obtaining apparatus may trims non-body content information of the downloaded webpages and reformats the trimmed body content as pure document or pure text to obtain the body content of the preset webpages. [0035] Therefore, the information obtaining apparatus downloads at least two pages of the preset webpages when receiving a request for accessing the preset webpages sent from the client. Then, the information obtaining apparatus extracts body content of at least two pages of the preset webpages. The information obtaining apparatus splices and outputs the body content of the preset webpages in the predetermined sequence. That is, when the client receives an access request from a user, the information obtaining apparatus downloads body content of at least two pages of the preset webpages. Then, the information obtaining apparatus splices and outputs the downloaded content as pure text in a clean, clutter-free format. Therefore, the user may browse webpages more conveniently when using the mobile terminal without interference from non-body content information, improving the user's reading experience.

[0036] Figure 2 illustrates a flow diagram of another exemplary information obtaining process consistent with the disclosed embodiments.

[0037] A preset browser (i.e., a client) is provided for the user of the terminal. When a user uses the preset browser (e.g., a mobile browser) to read novels or view pictures on a terminal screen, a reading mode is provided for the user. Under the provided reading mode, when the user uses the preset browser to read lengthy graphic and text information, such as novels, the information obtaining apparatus automatically downloads webpages that the user may read, via intelligent judgment, and splices the previous page and the next page together in a layout similar to reading layout, allowing the user to enter an immersive reading state.

[0038] As described, the terminal may include any appropriate type of mobile computing devices, such as mobile phones, smart phones, tablets, notebook computers, or any type of computing platform. The client, as used herein, may include any appropriate mobile application software, hardware, or a combination of application software and hardware to achieve certain client functionalities. There are no specific limitations on the client, and the information obtaining apparatus may refer to either or both of the terminal and the client.

[0039] In practical applications, according to different types of network access of the client, a fast-reading mode and a traffic- saving reading mode are provided in the browser for the users. If the network access of the client is not charged according to actual traffic, the fast- reading mode may be selected. Under the fast-reading mode, because the network environment is relatively good, when receiving an access request from the client, the information obtaining apparatus may download more network contents. [0040] For example, the information obtaining apparatus may download and parse the first number of preset webpages. After the first number of preset webpages are parsed, the parsed webpages are stored in the cache and put on a display list to wait for being displayed. For example, if the first number of preset webpages is N, N pages of webpages are downloaded successively, and the downloaded webpages are parsed and cached in a display list.

[0041] Further, although the (N+l)th page is not parsed, the source code of (N+l)th page may be stored in the (N+l)th space in the cache. When receiving a request for displaying the next page from the client/user, the content of the (N+l)th page is downloaded, and the

downloaded webpage content is parsed and put on the display list. Thus, the next page content may be displayed by local parsing operation, thereby avoiding the time spent in waiting for requesting the network to receive data again.

[0042] The network environment that is not charged according to actual traffic may include, but not limited to, WiFi, LAN, etc. The first number of the preset webpages may be 2, 3, 5, etc., and the information obtaining apparatus may determine the first number based on user configuration or based on particular applications. Further, the information obtaining apparatus may adjust the first number based on the network environment. For example, the first number of the preset pages may be set to 5 in a desired network environment, or the first number of the preset pages may be set to 3 in a less-desired network environment.

[0043] If the network access of the client is charged according to actual traffic, the traffic-saving reading mode is selected. Under the traffic-saving reading mode, in order to save the traffic generated by the client, when receiving an access request from the client, the information obtaining apparatus may download the second number of preset webpages. The second number may be 2, 3, etc., and the information obtaining apparatus may adjust the second number of the preset pages based on traffic charge of the client. The network environment that is charged according to actual traffic may include General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) or other wireless networks, etc.

[0044] Further, under the traffic-saving reading mode, only page information currently displayed is cached, and there is no (N+l)th unparsed page downloaded and stored in the (N+l)th space. When a discard condition is satisfied, the information obtaining apparatus discards an old page and downloads and parses the (N+l)th page to be displayed.

[0045] The discard condition may be based on the total number of spliced pages, i.e., the total pages reformatted by removing page spacing and other non-body content, which may be set to a threshold value and may be adjusted dynamically based on the available cache and/or the network access condition. If the spliced page number reaches the threshold value, the oldest page (e.g., the most front page) may be discarded and the new page can be downloaded, parsed, and displayed.

[0046] More particularly, as shown in Figure 2, the information obtaining process includes the following steps:

[0047] Step 201: the information obtaining apparatus determines the number of preset webpages to be downloaded when receiving a request for accessing preset webpages sent from a client.

[0048] Before downloading the preset webpages, based on the current network access type of the client, the information obtaining apparatus determines the number of the preset webpages to be downloaded. More specifically, to determine the number of the preset webpages to be downloaded, the information obtaining apparatus may first obtain access point information of the client.

[0049] Based on the access point information of the client, the information obtaining apparatus judges whether the network access of the client is charged according to traffic. If the network access of the client is not charged according to traffic, the information obtaining apparatus determines to download the first number of preset webpages from the preset webpages. On the other hand, if the network access of the client is charged according to traffic, the information obtaining apparatus determines to download the second number of preset pages from the preset webpages.

[0050] Specifically, when the client uses the preset browser, the webpages are opened according to a current operating mode, i.e., the paging mode. A 'reading mode' option button may be provided on the displayed pages under the paging mode for the user to change the paging mode into the 'reading mode.' If a user selects the 'reading mode' button, the 'reading mode' is used in the preset browser of the client. If the user does not select the 'reading mode' button, the default paging mode is used by the user, that is, the next page content is obtained by clicking 'next page' every time. Of course, the reading mode may be selected by other methods.

[0051] Step 202: the information obtaining apparatus downloads the preset webpages based on the determined number of the preset webpages to be downloaded.

[0052] For example, when the network access type of the client is WiFi access, the information obtaining apparatus determines the number of the webpages to be downloaded as the first preset page number and downloads the preset webpages based on the first preset page number. When the network access type of the client is GPRS access, the information obtaining apparatus determines the number of the webpages to be downloaded as the second preset page number and downloads the preset webpages based on the second preset page number.

[0053] More specifically, when downloading the preset webpages based on the determined number of the preset webpages to be downloaded, the information obtaining apparatus downloads in order and parses a first page content of the webpages to be downloaded. Further, the information obtaining apparatus judges whether the number of pages of the downloaded webpages matches the number of the webpages that are determined to be downloaded.

[0054] If there is a match, the step of downloading the preset webpages is paused.

Otherwise, keywords of the first page are searched, and then the information obtaining apparatus downloads and parses a second page based on the keywords. Such matching/downloading is repeated until all webpages to be downloaded are downloaded.

[0055] For example, after determining the number of the webpages to be downloaded, the information obtaining apparatus automatically searches the keywords of the webpages and automatically downloads the linked content corresponding to the keywords. The keywords may include 'Next Page', page number, or similar words or phrases, etc. For instance, if the number of webpages to be downloaded is 5, the first page is downloaded and parsed first. Then the information obtaining apparatus searches the keywords in the first page. If the keyword in the first page is 'Next Page', the information obtaining apparatus automatically downloads and parses the linked content corresponding to 'next page,' which is the second page. The downloading process can be repeated until the fifth page content is downloaded. [0056] Step 203: the information obtaining apparatus extracts body contents of at least two pages of the preset webpages, and splices and outputs the body contents of the preset webpages in a predetermined sequence.

[0057] To improve the user's reading experience, the information obtaining apparatus extracts body content of at least two pages of the preset webpages, and splices and outputs the body content of the preset webpages in a predetermined sequence. Therefore, the user may browse webpages more conveniently without interference from non-body content information, enjoying an immersive reading status. The body content includes, but not limited to, images, text, or videos.

[0058] Specifically, when extracting body content of at least two pages of the preset webpages, the information obtaining apparatus trims non-body content information of the downloaded webpages and reformats the trimmed body content as pure contents to obtain body content of the preset webpages. The non-body content information includes, but not limited to, page header, footer, advertising information, etc. The body content is reformatted as plain text which is similar to book text style, or as other content formats, as long as the non-body contents of the pages can be removed and the remaining contents are reformatted or republished such that the effects of the non-body contents are no longer visible.

[0059] Further, spacing among pages may also be removed or adjusted. For example, the information obtaining apparatus may remove the spacing between the pages such that the user can read the reformatted contents without any page separation for continuous content reading. Or the spacing between the pages may be adjusted to fit the terminal screen used by the user to view the contents. Thus, pure text contents can be displayed for the user, improving the user's reading experience. [0060] In addition, the information obtaining apparatus may determine the network access type of the client so that the reading mode can be further adjusted to fit the user's needs, requirements, or configurations. For example, based on the access point information of the client, the information obtaining apparatus judges whether the network access of the client is charged according to traffic amount.

[0061] Step 204: when the network access of the client is not charged according to traffic, and after receiving an access request for displaying next page from the client, the information obtaining apparatus downloads webpages after the first number of preset pages.

[0062] For example, when the network access type of the client is WIFI access, after the current page is displayed, the client receives a request for displaying next page content from the user or for displaying more pages from the user, the information obtaining apparatus

automatically downloads the content that is not yet downloaded in the preset webpages. The request of displaying a new webpage is triggered automatically after the previous webpage is displayed. Therefore, the user may smoothly browse the webpages by using this method when the network speed is relatively slow.

[0063] Step 205: when the network access of the client is charged according to traffic amount, the information obtaining apparatus obtains the total number of spliced pages cached on the client and judges whether the splicing number of the current page exceeds a threshold value. If the splicing number of the current page exceeds the threshold value, the information obtaining apparatus discards assigned webpages of the current page based on the discard condition and downloads the webpages after the second preset pages.

[0064] The information obtaining apparatus obtains the splicing number of the current page cached in the client. When the content cached in the client meets the discard condition, the information obtaining apparatus discards the content that meets the discard condition, and downloads and parses the content that has not been downloaded previously from the network request to display the next page.

[0065] The discard condition may be based on a preset threshold value. When a threshold value is exceeded, the information obtaining apparatus discards the assigned webpages of the current page. The threshold value may be a fixed value. The threshold value may also be dynamically adjusted based on the current remaining memory and/or network condition. The assigned webpages may be the first one or more pages of the current webpage.

[0066] Thus, the information obtaining apparatus downloads at least two pages of the preset webpages when receiving a request for accessing the preset webpages sent from the client. Then, the information obtaining apparatus extracts body content of at least two pages of the preset webpages. The information obtaining apparatus splices and outputs the body content of the preset webpages in a predetermined sequence. That is, when the client receives an access request from a user, the information obtaining apparatus downloads body content of at least two pages of the preset webpages. Then, the information obtaining apparatus splices and outputs the downloaded content in a clean, clutter-free format. Therefore, the user may browse webpages more conveniently without interference from non-body content information, improving the user's reading experience. Further, the next page is obtained without having to click next page link every time by the user, reducing the user's operation and time waiting for the Internet response after each clicking of next page, and further improving the user's reading experience.

[0067] Figure 3 illustrates a structure diagram of an exemplary information obtaining apparatus consistent with the disclosed embodiments. As shown in Figure 3, the information obtaining apparatus includes a downloading module 301, an extraction module 302, and an output module 303.

[0068] The downloading module 301 is configured to download at least two pages of preset webpages when receiving a request for accessing the preset webpages sent from a client. The extraction module 302 is configured to extract body content of at least two pages of the preset webpages. The output module 303 is configured to splice and output the body content of the preset webpages in a predetermined sequence.

[0069] Figure 4 illustrates a structure diagram of another exemplary information obtaining apparatus consistent with the disclosed embodiments. As shown in Figure 4, the information obtaining apparatus also includes a determination module 304, in addition to downloading module 301, extraction module 302, and output module 303.

[0070] The determination module 304 is configured to determine the number of preset webpages to be downloaded before downloading at least two pages of preset webpages. The determination module 304 may further include an obtaining unit 304a and a determination unit 304b.

[0071] The obtaining unit 304a is configured to obtain access point information of the client. The determination unit 304b is configured to judge whether the network access of the client is charged according to traffic amount, based on the access point information of the client. If the network access of the client is not charged according to traffic amount, the determination module determines to download the first number of preset pages from the preset webpages; if the network access of the client is charged according to traffic amount, the determination module determines to download the second number of preset pages from the preset webpages. [0072] In addition, when the network access of the client is not charged according to traffic amount, after the output module 303 splices and outputs the body content of the preset webpages in a predetermined sequence, the downloading module 301 is also configured to download the webpages after the first number of preset pages when receiving a request for displaying the next page from the client.

[0073] When the network access of the client is charged according to traffic amount, after the output module 303 splices and outputs the body content of the preset webpages in a predetermined sequence, the downloading module 301 is also configured to obtain the splicing number of the current page cached on the client and judges whether the splicing number of the current page exceeds a threshold value. If the splicing number of the current page exceeds the threshold value, the downloading module 301 discards the assigned webpages of the current page and downloads the webpages after the second number of preset pages.

[0074] The extraction module 302 is further configured to trim non-body content information of the downloaded webpages and reformat or republish the trimmed body content to obtain body content of the preset webpages.

[0075] It should be noted that, in the above server and terminal device for obtaining information, each functional module is listed only for illustrative purposes.
