Abstract

Techniques for performing marking and reminding on contents in a web page are disclosed. A browser client of a mobile terminal presets reminder content and a display style and stores the same in the mobile terminal. The method comprises: acquiring a source code of a web page; looking up the source code to obtain content to be reminded semantically associated with the preset reminder content; and marking and displaying the content to be reminded using the preset display style in the web page. The present invention marks content which concerns a user before a web page is displayed to the user after loading has finished, and marks and displays new content in a designated format using a special preset style, so that the new content is more conspicuous in a page.

wherein the first date appearance of the marking is semantically associated with the date of the reminder content.

9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the reminder content is set by a user of a browser client of the apparatus.

10. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

perform segmentation and semantic analysis on the source code to generate semantic analysis results;

compare the reminder content to the semantic analysis results; and

in response to determining that at least one part of the semantic analysis results is semantically similar to the reminder content, determine at least one part of the source code corresponding to the at least one part of the semantic analysis results as the content to be reminded.

11. The mobile terminal of claim 8, wherein the content to be reminded that is semantically associated with reminder content includes:

the same content as the reminder content or the content having the same meaning as the reminder content.

12. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the reminder content comprises a keyword, wherein marking the content to be reminded using the display style in the web page further includes:

determining the content to be reminded comprises a keyword appearance; and

in response to determining that there is no English or Chinese character before or after the keyword appearance, marking the keyword appearance.
