Abstract

The present disclosure, pertaining to the field of computer technologies, relates to a method for browsing a webpage picture and a client device therefor. The method includes: receiving, by a client device, a picture mode triggered by a user when browsing a webpage; acquiring a picture on the webpage to be browsed by the user; and displaying the picture to the user. The client device includes: a receiving module, a first acquiring module, and a displaying module. According to the present disclosure, when a user is only interested in pictures on a webpage, a client device acquires the pictures on the webpage separately and collectively displays the pictures to the user, such that the user browses the pictures on the webpage, thereby meeting user'"'"'s demand on browsing only pictures.

Claims

1. A method for browsing a webpage picture, comprising:

receiving, by a client device, a picture mode triggered by a user when browsing a webpage;

providing, by a server according to an access point type of a user terminal, a picture of a corresponding type for the webpage to be browsed by the user, the types of the picture comprising an original picture and a compressed picture;

acquiring a picture on the webpage to be browsed by the user;

displaying the picture to the users;

pre-reading, by the client device, at least one picture from content on a next page of the webpage in case of the access point type having a poor network environment; and

pre-reading, by the client device, pictures from a plurality of pages in case of the access point type having a better network environment.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the acquiring a picture on the webpage to be browsed by the user comprises:

acquiring, by the client device, webpage content to be browsed by the user from a server, and acquiring the picture from the webpage content according to a picture label in the webpage content;

or

sending, by the client device, a request for browsing only pictures to the server such that the server, upon receiving the request, acquires, according to the picture label, the picture from the webpage content to be browsed by the user, and sends the picture to the client device; and

receiving the picture returned by the server.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein prior to the providing, by the server according to the access point type of a user terminal, a picture of a corresponding type for the webpage to be browsed by the user, the method comprises:

acquiring, by the client device, the access point type of the user terminal, and sending the access point type to the server.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein the providing, by the server according to the access point type, a picture of a corresponding type for the webpage to be browsed by the user comprises:

judging, by the server, whether the access point type is a preset access point type, if the access point type is the preset access point type, providing an original picture for the webpage to be browsed by the user, and if the access point type is not the preset access point type, providing a compressed picture for the webpage to be browsed by the user.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the access point type indicates one of a GPRS access point, a Wi-Fi access point and a 3G access point;

and

wherein, the GPRS access point has the poor network environment, and the Wi-Fi access point and the 3G access point have the better network environment.

6. A client device, comprising a processor and computer readable storage media storage media storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

receive a picture mode triggered by a user when browsing a webpage;

send an access point type to a server, such that the server provides, according to the access point type, a picture of a corresponding type for the webpage to be browsed by the user, the types of the picture comprising an original picture and a compressed picture;

acquire a picture on the webpage to be browsed by the user after receiving the picture mode triggered by the user;

display the acquired picture to the user; and

pre-read at least one picture from content on a next page of the webpage in case of the access point type having a poor network environment after displaying the picture to the user, and pre-read pictures from a plurality of pages in case of the access point type having a better network environment after displaying the picture to the user.

7. The client device according to claim 6, wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

acquire webpage content to be browsed by the user from a server, and acquire the picture from the webpage content according to a picture label in the webpage content;

send a request for browsing only pictures to the server, such that the server, upon receiving the request, according to the picture label, acquires the picture from the webpage content to be browsed by the user; and

receive the picture returned by the server.

8. The client device according to claim 7, wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

acquire the access point type of the user terminal, and send the access point type to the server before the picture on the webpage to be browsed by the user is acquired.

9. The client device according to claim 6, wherein the access point type indicates one of a GPRS access point, a Wi-Fi access point and a 3G access point;

and

wherein, the GPRS access point has the poor network environment, and the Wi-Fi access point and the 3G access point have the better network environment.

10. A method for browsing a webpage picture, comprising:

receiving an access point type reported by a client device;

judging whether the access point type is a preset access point type, if the access point type is the preset access point type, providing an original picture for the webpage to be browsed by the client device, and if the access point type is not the preset access point type, providing a compressed picture for the webpage to be browsed by the client device;

pre-reading, by the client device, at least one picture from content on a next page of the webpage in case of the access point type having a poor network environment; and

pre-reading pictures from a plurality of pages in case of the access point type having a better network environment.

11. The method according to claim 10, wherein after the providing, according to the access point type, a picture of a corresponding type for the webpage to be browsed by the client device, the method comprises

upon receiving the request for browsing only pictures from the client device, acquiring, according to a picture label, the picture from webpage content to be browsed by the user;

and
