Abstract

Disclosed is a method for displaying a web page. According to the method, upon receiving a data block including web page display data from a server, a client stores a data block identifier and a correspondence relationship between the data block identifier and the data block. The client then uses the identifier of the needed data block to determine whether the needed data block identifier is stored in the client, if affirmative, obtains the data block corresponding to the found data block identifier according to the correspondence relationship, and displays the web page display data of the obtained data block on a web page. Further discloses a system for displaying a web page. The disclosed method and system can be used to greatly reduce the pressure on a server end, save network bandwidth resources, and improve a client'"'"'s speed for displaying a web page.

Claims

1. A method for displaying a web page, characterized in that the method comprises:

A. in a client, upon receiving a data block including web page display data from a server, storing a data block identifier and a correspondence relationship between the data block identifier and the data block; and

B. in the client, determining whether the data block identifier of a needed data block is stored in the client, and if affirmative, obtaining the data block corresponding to the found data block identifier based on the stored correspondence relationship, and displaying web page display data of the obtained data block on a web page.

2. The method as recited in claim 1, characterized in that if the obtained data block at step B is an executable code, the client displays the web page display data of the obtained data block on the web page by executing the executable code.

3. The method as recited in claim 1, characterized in that the data block identifier and the correspondence relationship between the data block identifier and the data block at step A are stored in a dynamic cache.

4. The method as recited in claim 1, characterized in that client further stores at step A a web page identifier and a web data correspondence relationship between the web page identifier and the data block, and the method further comprises:

in the client, upon receiving a login request including a needed web page identifier from a user, determining whether the needed web page identifier is stored in the client, and if affirmative, obtaining a data block corresponding to the found web page identifier based on the web data correspondence relationship, and displaying web page display data of the obtained data block on the web page.

5. The method as recited in claim 1, characterized in that if the needed data block identifier is not stored in the client, the client obtains the needed data block corresponding to the found data block identifier from the server, and displays the web page display data of the obtained data block on the web page.

6. The method as recited in claim 4, characterized in that, if the needed web page identifier is not stored in the client, the client obtains a data block corresponding to the needed web page identifier from the server, and displays the web page display data of the obtained web data block on the web page.

7. The method as recited in claim 1, characterized in that the method further comprises:

after the client'"'"'s browser is closed, deleting the data block identifier and the correspondence relationship between the data block identifier and the data block that have been stored.

8. The method as recited in claim 4, characterized in that the method further comprises:

after the client'"'"'s browser is closed, deleting the data block identifier, the correspondence relationship between the data block identifier and the data block, the web page identifier, and the web data correspondence relationship between the web page identifier and the data block that have been stored.

9. A system for displaying a web page, characterized in that the system comprises:

a client used for receiving a data block including web page display data from a server, storing a data block identifier and a correspondence relationship between the data block identifier and the data block, determining whether a data block identifier of a needed data block is stored therein, and if affirmative, obtaining the data block corresponding to the found data block identifier based on the correspondence relationship, and displaying web page display data of the obtained data block on a web page; and

a server used for providing the data block to the client.

10. The system as recited in claim 9, characterized in that the client comprises:

a receiving unit is used for receiving the data block including the web page display data from the server, and storing the data block identifier and the correspondence relationship between the data block identifier and the data block into a cache unit;

a browser used for searching the cache unit for the data block identifier of the needed data block, obtaining the needed data block corresponding to the found data block identifier based on the correspondence relationship, and displaying the web page display data of the obtained data block on the web page; and

the cache unit used for storing the data block identifier and the correspondence relationship between the data block identifier and the data block.

11. The system as recited in claim 10, characterized in that the browser comprises:

a display unit used for displaying the web page display data of the obtained data block on the web page by executing an executable code of the data block.

12. The system as recited in claim 10, characterized in that the receiving unit is further used for storing a web page identifier and a web data correspondence relationship between the web page identifier and the data block into the cache unit, and that the browser is further used for:

receiving a login request including a needed web page identifier from a user, searching the cache unit for the needed web page identifier, obtaining a data block corresponding to the found web page identifier based on the web data correspondence relationship, and displaying the web page display data of the obtained data block on the web page.

13. The system as recited in claim 10, characterized in that the browser is further used for obtaining the needed data block corresponding to the needed data block identifier from the server if the needed data block identifier is not found, and displaying the web page display data of the thus obtained data block on the web page.

14. The system as recited in claim 12, characterized in that the browser is further used for obtaining the data block corresponding to the needed web page identifier from the server if the needed web page identifier is not found, and displaying the web page display data of the thus obtained data block on the web page.

15. The system as recited in claim 10, characterized in that the client further comprises:

a first deleting unit used for deleting the data block identifier and the correspondence relationship between the data block identifier and the data block that are stored in the cache unit after the browser is closed.

16. The system as recited in claim 12, characterized in that the client further comprises:

a second deleting unit used for deleting the data block identifier, the correspondence relationship between the data block identifier and the data block, the web page identifier, and the web data correspondence relationship between the web page identifier and the data block that are stored in the cache unit after the browser is closed.
