Abstract

A broken hyperlink auto-redirection and management system and method, which the system includes a hyperlink verify module for verifying a hyperlink and generating a verify result according to a classify result, wherein if type of the hyperlink indicates the hyperlink belonging to a redirection required class so that the classify result is redirection required, the verify result is redirecting; whereas if type of the hyperlink indicates the hyperlink belonging to a redirection refused class so that the classify result is redirection refused, the verify result is recording, and a redirect module, which performs a redirection according to the verify result.

Claims

1. A broken hyperlink auto-redirection and management system applies to a web page provider, comprising:

a hyperlink verify module, which verifies a hyperlink and generates a verify result according to a classify result, wherein if type of the hyperlink indicates the hyperlink belonging to a redirection required class so that the classify result is redirection required, the verify result is redirecting;

whereas if type of the hyperlink indicates the hyperlink belonging to a redirection refused class so that the classify result is redirection refused, the verify result is recording; and

a redirect module, which performs a redirection according to the verify result.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

a hyperlink receive module, which receives the hyperlink.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the hyperlink verify module further comprising:

a classify module, which classifies the hyperlink for generating the classify result to the hyperlink verify module.

4. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

a first record module, which records the hyperlink to a log file while the verify result is recording.

5. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

a redirection setting module, which sets and stores a redirection hyperlink for the redirection performed by the redirect module.

6. The system of claim 5, further comprising:

a search module, which searches the redirection hyperlink stored in the redirection setting module for generating a search result; and

a second record module, which records the redirection hyperlink to a setting area while the search result is the redirection hyperlink not found in the redirection setting module.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the second record module further comprising:

a notice delivery module, which transmits a notice to a web master.

8. The system of claim 5, further comprising:

a user interface, which allows a web master to access the redirection hyperlink in the redirection setting module.

9. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

a count module, which counts times of the redirection for generating a hyperlink information.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the web page provider is a server.

11. A broken hyperlink auto-redirection and management method, comprising:

verifying a hyperlink and generating a verify result according to a classify result, wherein if type of the hyperlink indicates the hyperlink belonging to a redirection required class so that the classify result is redirection required, the verify result is redirecting;

whereas if type of the hyperlink indicates the hyperlink belonging to a redirection refused class so that the classify result is redirection refused, the verify result is recording; and

performing a redirection according to the verify result.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

receiving the hyperlink.

13. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

classifying the hyperlink for generating the classify result.

14. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

recording the hyperlink while the verify result is recording.

15. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

setting and storing a redirection hyperlink for the hyperlink.

16. The method of claim 15, further comprising:

searching the redirection hyperlink for generating a search result; and

recording the redirection hyperlink to a setting area while the search result is the redirection hyperlink not found in the redirection setting module.

17. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

transmitting a notice while the search result is the redirection hyperlink not found.

18. The method of claim 11, wherein the broken hyperlink auto-redirection and management method applies to a web page provider.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the web page provider is a server.

20. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

counting times of the redirection for generating a hyperlink information.
