detailed description

The invention will now be described in detail in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

Preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been shown in the drawings, it is understood that Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.

As described above, in order to fully and reasonably utilize the status bar in the browser window, the present invention creates a prompt bar in the blank area of the status bar, and then intelligently displays customized information for a specific user and page in the prompt bar. To maximize the value of the status bar.

Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to FIGS. 1 through 5. FIG. 1 illustrates a method 100 for presenting customized information on a browser window in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Total flow chart. When the user opens the browser window to start browsing the web page, first, based on the window triggering rule, a prompt window is created at the status bar of the browser window and/or adjacent to the status bar (step S110). Typically, the status bar is set at the bottom of the browser window and is used to display status or page related information. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the location of the status bar referred to herein is not limited to the bottom of the browser window, but may be located anywhere in the browser window.

FIG. 2 illustrates in detail a specific implementation 200 of step S110 in which a prompt window is dynamically created by analyzing the usage status of the status bar. Process 200 begins with step S112 and monitors the status of the status bar of the browser window. For example, when a page jumps, the parsing information is displayed in the status bar. At this time, the usage rate of the status bar can be the highest, and the usage rate of the status bar refers to the frequency of use of the status bar in the native sense. It should be noted that the usage status of the status bar described herein includes not only the usage rate of the status bar, but also the status of the status bar being used. For example, the status bar is currently displaying the parsing information at the time of the page jump, or the status information of the currently browsed page, such as the domain name information of the link indicated by the current mouse.

However, in practice, the status bar is idle most of the time the user browses the webpage, or most of the area of the status bar is idle. Further, even if the status bar is displaying some information, but the user may not pay attention to the display information, then the status bar is equivalent to being idle. For example, if the browser is able to provide the domain name information of the link in the form of a floating text box directly near the link indicated by the mouse, the user typically does not pay attention to the domain name information of the link displayed in the status bar at the same time.

Therefore, next, in step S114, the idle area of the status bar is determined based on the monitored usage status. It should be noted that the idle area here includes but is not limited to the blank area of the status bar, but can be extended to the appropriate area of the browser window without affecting the function of the status bar or the browser displaying the page.

Then, in step S116, a prompt window is created at the determined idle area of the status bar and/or adjacent to the idle area. In the present embodiment, the creation of the prompt window (for example, the number, size, and style of the prompt window) may be performed according to the idle state of the status bar, so that the information of the status bar is not blocked, and the status bar is guaranteed to be native.

In the present invention, the prompt window may be a shaped window that is level with the browser window, suspended in a state bar of the browser window and/or adjacent to the status bar. In one example, the prompt window can be set to float on the page window at the status bar, and its size and shape can be designed such that the presence of the prompt window does not affect the user browsing the page and the display information on the status bar. In another example, the cue window can also be designed as a cartoon image that can show an animated effect. For example, when a user opens a shopping site Tmall in a browser window, the prompt window can be designed as a cartoon character of a cat.

FIG. 3 illustrates in detail a process 300 of how to create a prompt window based on a window trigger rule in step S110 of FIG. 1, wherein the creation of the prompt window is triggered by a determination of the browse page domain name. Specifically, in step S111, the domain name of the page accessed by the browser window, such as a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), is obtained. In one example, when the user switches the browsed page or otherwise changes the current page URL, the current URL address can be obtained by calling the interface of the front page (eg, a javascript interface).

Next, in step S113, it is determined whether the acquired page domain name matches the page domain name matching list. Here, the page domain name matching list is pre-configured, and can be changed on the server side based on factors such as business needs or analysis of user preference behavior.

In a case where it is determined that the acquired page domain name matches the page domain name matching list, for example, the acquired page domain name is the domain name in the page domain name matching list or its sub-domain name, and a prompt window is created (step S115). Otherwise, process 300 ends. In this embodiment, it may be selectively set, and the user may trigger the generation of the prompt window when browsing which web pages are browsed, thereby facilitating management of the prompt window.

Further, in an example, in a case where it is determined that the acquired page domain name does not match the page domain name matching list, the created prompt window may be hidden. For example, suppose that after the browser is opened and the prompt window has been created, the server side modifies the page domain name matching list, and removes the domain name of the page that the browser is browsing, the browser acquires the change and switches to the browsing again. The page is hidden and not displayed. Further, in an example, in order to facilitate flexible control of the prompt window, a page domain name blacklist may also be configured, and the page domain name blacklist may be independent of the page domain name matching list. Ie, despite some page breaks The corresponding prompt window is created by the matching rule of the page domain matching list, but if the pages fall within the scope of the page domain blacklist, the created prompt window is directly hidden.

Returning to Fig. 1, after the prompt window is created in step S110, the method 100 proceeds to step S130. In step S130, customization information is generated based on a predetermined rule. Here, the so-called customized information can be presented in various forms including, but not limited to, web page objects, animations, texts, and the like. It should be noted that although the steps of generating the customized information are performed after the prompt window is created, it is easily exemplified by those skilled in the art that the step of generating the customized information can be completely performed simultaneously with the step of creating the prompt window. , syncing and even executing before it.

FIG. 4 illustrates in detail a specific implementation 400 of step S130 in which customized information is generated based on page and browser related parameters. First, in step S132, the domain name of the page accessed by the browser window is obtained. Note that if this operation has been performed in step S111 of FIG. 3, the acquired page domain name can be directly used, and step S132 is omitted.

Next, the process 400 proceeds to step S134. In step S134, a browsing assistance parameter is invoked, which may be associated with a page accessed by the user and/or browser window. In one example, the browsing assistance parameter may be identity information or browsing habits of the user browsing the website, such as user credit information, level, and the like. For example, when the step S132 acquires that the user is browsing the Tmall website, the browsing assistance parameter may be whether the super-provincial user qualification is valid. In another example, the browsing assistance parameter can be an ongoing marketing campaign of the website being viewed.

The domain names and parameters obtained in steps S132 and S134 determine the difference in the customized information. Therefore, in step S136, the customization information is generated based on the acquired page domain name and/or the invoked browsing assistance parameter. In this embodiment, the customization information is associated with the current browsing page and user preferences, and has the characteristics of real-time change, quick response, and customization.

Returning again to FIG. 1, after the customization information is generated in step S130, the method 100 proceeds to step S150. In step S150, the generated customization information is displayed in the prompt window that has been created in a specified manner.

As mentioned before, the customization information can include various forms such as web page objects, animations, texts, and the like. In one embodiment, if the customized information is in the form of a webpage object, the prompt is displayed for the first time. When the window is in, you can wait for the prompt window to be created and the page of the customized information is loaded and presented to the user together. In this way, the user does not have to go through the process of waiting for the custom information to be loaded, thereby improving the user experience. In a further embodiment, after the user launches the browser window and creates the prompt window for the first time, it is only necessary to adjust the customization information displayed in the prompt window according to the relevant parameters, without having to load the page of the customized information again. For example, when the user switches to browse the page or changes the URL of the current page for other reasons, the current URL address can be obtained by calling, for example, a javascript interface of the front-end page, and the browsing assistance parameters as described above, directly changing the prompt window. The customized information displayed allows the user to get a very smooth experience when switching between browsing pages.

In one embodiment of the invention, the prompt window may be composed of a plurality of prompt sub-windows. The plurality of prompt sub-windows can be associated with each other in position. Multiple sub-windows may be overlapped or connected, and of course, those skilled in the art will be able to contemplate other positional relationships between multiple sub-windows. In one example, the cue window may be composed of two sub-windows, namely a first sub-window that is hovering over a restricted area of the status bar and a second sub-window that is suspended above the status bar and connected to the first sub-window.

In another embodiment, the plurality of prompt sub-windows may also be logically associated with each other. For example, the customized information displayed on the plurality of prompt sub-windows is related, or the display forms cooperate to dynamically and efficiently present the customized information to the user. The corresponding display information type can be specified for each prompt sub-window. In the above example, the text information and/or the webpage link information may be displayed in the first prompt sub-window, and the animation effect of the cartoon image may be displayed in the second prompt sub-window, for example, an animation of blinking, nodding, waving, etc. .

As another example, one or more other prompt sub-windows may be expanded or collapsed according to the user's operation for one or more of the prompt sub-windows. Still taking the above case with two prompt sub-windows as an example, the user can expand or collapse the first sub-window displaying the page object information by clicking or hovering over the second sub-window displaying the kitten animation. Moreover, during this process, the animation displayed in the second sub-window can be adjusted appropriately. For example, when the first child window is expanded, the kitten in the second child window can make a beckoning or blinking motion; and when the first child window is closed, the kitten in the second child window can make a doze The action, and so on.

As described above, by setting multiple prompt subwindows and their positional or logical Associations can be used to present customized information to users efficiently and conveniently in a variety of ways or a combination thereof.

So far, the method 100 for presenting customized information on a browser window in FIG. 1 ends. By using the method, the status bar of the browser window is effectively and reasonably utilized, and the customized information is presented to the user intelligently and in a targeted manner, thereby maximizing the state without affecting the native operation of the status bar in the browser window. Use of the column.
