In this example, the webpage opened by the browser is a webpage application. A javascript code is preset in the webpage and is configured to call the local interface of the browser to send the request message to the browser server.
If the webpage opened by the browser includes the preset javascript code, the browser sends the request message to the browser server. The request message contains a URL of the opened webpage and is configured to request the browser server to send the data packet of the webpage application corresponding to the URL of the opened webpage.
The URL of the webpage opened by the browser is the same as a URL of the webpage application requested by the browser. According to the URL of the webpage opened by the browser, the browser server may determine whether the webpage application has been registered on the browser server.
At block 202, the browser receives the data packet of the webpage application from the browser server, wherein the data packet of the webpage application contains a name, website and identification code of the webpage application.
The browser sends the request message containing the URL of the opened webpage to the browser server through the local interface. After receiving the request message, the browser server searches a database to determine whether the webpage application has been registered. If the browser server determines that the webpage application has been registered, the browser server sends the data packet of the webpage application to the browser. The browser receives the data packet of the webpage application from the browser server. The data packet of the webpage application contains the name, URL and identification code of the webpage application. The identification code may be denoted with a field "app id". The identification code corresponds to the webpage application uniquely. Even if the name of the webpage application is changed, the identification code may still identify the webpage application uniquely.
At block 203, the browser pops up, on the opened webpage, a window of installing the webpage application. The window is configured to prompt a user to install the webpage application on the home page of the browser.
After receiving the data packet of the webpage application from the browser server, the browser may determine that the opened webpage is a valid webpage application. The browser pops up the window of installing the webpage application according to the name, URL and identification code of the webpage application contained in the data packet of the webpage application. The window of installing the webpage application may prompt the user to install the webpage application on the home page of the browser.
At block 204, the browser receives an instruction of confirming to install the webpage application from the user, and generates an icon of the webpage application on the home page of the browser according to the information contained in the data packet of the webpage application, so that the user may access the webpage application through clicking the icon.
In an example, the information contained in the data packet may be name information, icon information and URL information of the webpage application. After the icon is generated by the browser, the user may access the webpage application through clicking the icon without needing to input the URL of the webpage application, thereby simplifying the operations of the user.
