Abstract

A method for preprocessing and displaying web page, a mobile electronic device, and an operation interface thereof are provided. In the method, an interested web site address corresponding to an update rule is defined. Then, a web page source data of the interested web site address is downloaded according to the update rule. The web page source data or a data structure generated by parsing the web page source data is stored, wherein the data structure can be displayed by the browser. When the interested web site address is selected, the browser parses the web page source data or displays a web content of the interested web site address according to the data structure. By preprocessing the interested web site address concerned by users, the speed of opening the web page content thereof is increased and the efficiency of browsing web page can be significantly improved.

downloading the web page source data once the interested web site address is defined; and

downloading the web page source data according to at least one of a starting time, a ending time and a update cycle.

5. The method for preprocessing and displaying web page according to claim 4, wherein the step of downloading the web page source data according to at least one of the starting time, the ending time and the update cycle comprises:

starting downloading the web page source data at the starting time when according to the starting time;

terminating downloading the web page source data at the ending time when according to the ending time; and

downloading the web page source data upon the update cycle being arrived or expired when according to the update cycle.

6. The method for preprocessing and displaying web page according to claim 1, wherein the step of displaying the web page content of the interested web site address comprises:

displaying a time length from current time point to a latest time point of downloading the web page source data.

7. A mobile electronic device comprising:

a displaying unit;

a storing unit;

a web page browsing module for controlling a browser; and

a processing module for obtaining a defined interested web site address, wherein the interested web site address corresponds to an update rule, the processing module downloads a web page source data of the interested web site address according to the update rule, and stores the web page source data or a data structure generated by parsing the web page source data in the storing unit, the data structure is capable of being displayed by the displaying unit, and

the web page browsing module controls the browser to parse the web page source data in the storing unit or to display a web page content of the interested web site address in the displaying unit according to the data structure stored in the storing unit when the web page browsing module detects that the interested web site address is selected.

8. The mobile electronic device according to claim 7, further comprising:

an interested web site address configuring module for defining a selected web site address as the interested web site address when the web site address is selected.

9. The mobile electronic device according to claim 8, wherein the selected web site address is at least one of a frequently-linked web site address in a frequently-linked web site address list, an input web site address string or the web site address directed to by a hyper-link in a web page.

10. The mobile electronic device according to claim 7, wherein the processing module displays at least one of a progress of downloading the web page source data of the interested web site address and a mark of a downloading completion in the displaying unit.

11. The mobile electronic device according to claim 7, wherein the processing module executes at least one of the following downloading according to the update rule:

downloading the web page source data once the interested web site address is defined; and

downloading the web page source data according to at least one of a starting time, a ending time or a update cycle.

12. The mobile electronic device according to claim 13, wherein the processing module allows downloading the web page source data at the starting time when according to the starting time;

the processing module terminates downloading the web page source data at the ending time when according to the ending time; and
