Abstract

Disclosed are a history records sorting method and apparatus, belonging to the field of network data processing. The method comprises: receiving a URL sent by a web browser and acquiring a URL type according to the URL (101); notifying the URL type to the web browser so as to cause the web browser to classify and rank the history record corresponding to the URL in terms of the URL type (102). The present technical solution acquires the URL type according to the URL and notifies the URL type to the web browser so as to cause the web browser to classify and rank the history records corresponding to the URLs, thereby improving the speed for searching for history records and making it possible to find the URL to be accessed within a short time, thus saving time for the user and making it convenient for use by the user.

Claims

1. A history records sorting method, comprising:

receiving a URL sent by a web browser and acquiring a URL type according to the URL;

notifying the URL type to the web browser so as to cause the web browser to classify and rank a history record corresponding to the URL in terms of the URL type.

2. The history records sorting method according to claim 1, wherein said acquiring a URL type according to the URL comprises:

analyzing webpage content of the URL and matching the webpage content with URL types in a preset type list;

determining, if a URL type in the preset type list matches with the webpage content, the URL type in the preset type list matching with the webpage content as the URL type of the URL; and

setting a new URL type according to the webpage content and taking the new URL type as the URL type of the URL, if none of URL types in the preset type list match the webpage content.

3. The history records sorting method according to claim 2, before said acquiring a URL type according to the URL, further comprising:

predefining URL types according to webpage contents of commonly used URLs to obtain the preset type list;

sending the preset type list to the web browser so as to cause the web browser to synchronize with the preset type list.

4. The history records sorting method according to claim 2, wherein each URL type in the preset type list corresponds to a respective type code,

said notifying the URL type to the web browser comprises notifying the type code of the URL type to the web browser.

5. The history records sorting method according to claim 2, after said setting a new URL type according to the webpage content of the URL, further comprising:

adding the new URL type to the preset type list to obtain a updated type list; and

sending the updated type list to the web browser so as to cause the web browser to synchronize with the updated type list.

6. The history records sorting method according to claim 2, wherein each URL type further includes one or more sub-URL types, and each sub-URL type corresponds to a respective sub-URL type code.

7. A method for classifying and ranking a history record, comprising:

recording history records pertaining to a same URL type under one director, according to the URL types of URLs corresponding to respective history records;

ranking the history records under one director according to access time lengths and/or access frequencies of respective web sites corresponding to the history records within a preset time.

8. A history records sorting apparatus, comprising:

a reception module configured to receive a URL sent by a web browser;

an acquisition module configured to acquire a URL type according to the URL received by the reception module; and

a notification module configured to notify the URL type acquired by the acquisition module to the web browser so as to cause the web browser to classify and rank the history record corresponding to the URL in terms of the URL type.

9. The history records sorting apparatus according to claim 8, wherein said acquisition module comprises:

a analyzing unit configured to analyze webpage content of the URL according to the URL received by the reception module;

a matching unit configured to match the webpage content analyzed by the analyzing unit with URL types in a preset type list;

a first processing unit configured to, if the matching unit derives that a URL type in the preset type list matches with the webpage content analyzed by the analyzing unit, determine the URL type in the preset type list matching with the webpage content as the URL type of the URL; and

a second processing unit configured to, if the matching unit derives that none of URL types in the preset type list match the webpage content analyzed by the analyzing unit, set a new URL type according to the webpage content and take the new URL type as the URL type of the URL.

10. The history records sorting apparatus according to claim 9, further comprising:

a definition module configured to predefine URL types according to webpage contents of commonly URLs to obtain the preset type list,

wherein the notification module is further configured to send the preset type list obtained by the definition module to the web browser so as to cause the web browser to synchronize with the preset type list.

11. The history records sorting apparatus according to claim 9, wherein each URL type in the preset type list corresponds to a respective type code, and

the notification module is configured to notify the type code of the URL type to the web browser.

12. The history records sorting apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the acquisition module further comprises:

an adding unit configured to add the new URL type set by the second processing unit to the preset type list to obtain a updated type list, and

the notification module is further configured to send the updated type list obtained by the adding unit to the web browser so as to cause the web browser to synchronize with the updated type list.

13. The history records sorting method according to claim 9, wherein each URL type further includes one or more sub-URL types, and each sub-URL type corresponds to a respective sub-URL type code.

14. An apparatus for classifying and ranking a history record, comprising:

classifying module configured to record history records pertaining to a same URL type under one director, according to the URL types of the URLs corresponding to respective history records;

ranking module configured to rank the history records under one director according to access time lengths and/or access frequencies of respective web sites corresponding to the history records within a preset time.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when executed by one or more processor, causing the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving a URL sent by a web browser and acquiring a URL type according to the URL;

notifying the URL type to the web browser so as to cause the web browser to classify and rank a history record corresponding to the URL in terms of the URL type.
