Abstract

A method for acquiring a start page can include acquiring the previous start page parameter corresponding to the previous start page and the current start page parameter corresponding to the current start page of a client side. The method can also include comparing the previous start page parameter with the current start page parameter. If the previous start page parameter is different from the current start page parameter, changed content of the current start page as compared against the previous start page can be sent to the client side so that the client side updates the previous start page according to the changed content to acquire the current start page. According to the present invention, downloads of the client side is reduced, and traffic is saved from the client side.

acquiring from the third-party website the current home page of the hyperlink corresponding to the request, and replacing the locally cached home page with the acquired current home page.

6. The method according to claim 4, further comprising:

according to a preset time interval, acquiring the home page of each hyperlink on the current start page, and replacing the locally cached home page of each hyperlink on the current start page with the acquired home page of each hyperlink on the current start page.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the acquiring the previous start page parameter corresponding to the previous start page and the current start page parameter corresponding to the current start page of a client side specifically comprises:

receiving a start page update request from the client side, wherein the start page update request comprises the previous start page parameter corresponding to the previous start page of the client side; and

acquiring the current start page of the client side, and acquiring by calculation the current start page parameter corresponding to the current start page.

8. A device for acquiring a start page, comprising:

an acquiring module, configured to acquire a previous start page parameter corresponding to a previous start page and a current start page parameter corresponding to a current start page of a client side;

a comparing module, configured to compare the previous start page parameter acquired by the acquiring module with the current start page parameter acquired by the acquiring module; and

a first current start page acquiring module, configured to;

if the comparing module determines that the previous start page parameter is different from the current start page parameter, send changed content of the current start page as compared against the previous start page to the client side so that the client side updates the previous start page according to the changed content to acquire the current start page.

9. The device according to claim 8, further comprising:

a second current start page acquiring module, configured to;

if the comparing module determines that the previous start page parameter is the same as the current start page parameter, instruct the client side to use the previous start page as the current start page.

10. The device according to claim 8, further comprising:

a monitoring module, configured to;

monitor availability of each hyperlink on the current start page, and modify availability status of each hyperlink on the current start page according to the monitored availability of each hyperlink.

11. The device according to claim 8, further comprising:

a home page acquiring and caching module, configured to acquire and cache a home page of each hyperlink on the current start page from a third-party website in advance; and

a first home page processing module, configured to;

receive a request for accessing a hyperlink on the current start page from the client side, and return the locally cached home page of the hyperlink corresponding to the request to the client side.

12. The device according to claim 11, further comprising:

a second home page processing module, configured to;

after returning the locally cached home page of the hyperlink corresponding to the request to the client side, acquire a current home page corresponding to the hyperlink corresponding to the request from the third-party website, and replace the locally cached home page with the acquired current home page.

13. The device according to claim 11, further comprising:

an updating module, configured to;
