Abstract

Disclosed is method for operating of an electronic device, including receiving a resource information list of a web content from a first server, receiving, from the first server, at least one resource included in the resource information list of the web content, and requesting at least one resource of the resource information list of the web content from a second server based on the received resource information list and the received at least one resource.

Claims

1. A method for operating of an electronic device, the method comprising:

receiving a resource information list of web content from a first server;

receiving, from the first server, at least one resource included in the resource information list of the web content; and

requesting at least one resource of the resource information list of the web content from a second server based on the received resource information list and the received at least one resource.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one resource received from the first server is received according to a priority of the resource information list.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein receiving the at least one resource from the first server comprises:

identifying a cacheable resource from among the resources included in the web content based on the received resource information list;

calculating an estimated download time of each of the first server and the second server when the identified cacheable resource is downloaded from the first server and the second server;

requesting the cacheable resource from a server that has a shorter estimated download time by considering the calculated estimated download time; and

receiving the requested cacheable resource.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein receiving the resource comprises receiving a cacheable resource being pushed from the first server.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the resource information list comprises at least one piece of information on whether there is a cacheable resource from among the resources of the content, Uniform Resource Locator information, file type information, file size information, priority information, and timing information.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving an uncacheable resource from the second server;

receiving a cacheable resource from one of the first server and the second server that has a shorter estimated download time for the cacheable resource; and

completing loading of the web content based on the received uncacheable resource and the received cacheable resource.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

updating at least one piece of information until loading of the web content is completed;

updating the resource information list based on the updated information; and

transmitting the updated resource information list to the cloud server.

8. A method for operating of a first server, the method comprising:

receiving a request for at least one resource of web content from at least one electronic device; and

pushing, to the electronic device, at least one cacheable resource from among resources of the web content and a resource which is redefined as a cacheable resource in an order according to priority.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising pushing a resource information list of the web content to the electronic device.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the resource information list comprises at least one piece of information on whether there is a cacheable resource from among the resources of the web content, Uniform Resource Locator information, file type information, file size information, priority information, and timing information.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein the redefined resource is an uncacheable resource which is identified as having resource information that is unchanged from among uncacheable resources included in the web content.

12. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

receiving an updated resource information list from the electronic device; and

storing the updated resource information list.

13. An electronic device comprising:

a communication module; and

a processor configured to control the communication module,

wherein the processor is further configured to receive a resource information list of a web content from a first server through the communication module, receive, from the first server, at least one resource included in the resource information list of the web content, and request at least one resource of the resource information list of the web content from a second server based on the received resource information list and the received at least one resource.

14. The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to control the communication module to receive a cacheable resource from the first server according to the resource information list.

15. The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to identify a cacheable resource from among the resources included in the web content based on the received resource information list, calculate an estimated download time of each of the first server and the second server when an identified cacheable resource is downloaded from the first server and the second server, control the communication module to request the cacheable resource from one of the first server and the second server that has a shorter estimated download time, and receive the requested cacheable resource.

16. The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to receive a cacheable resource being pushed from the first server through the communication module.

17. The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the resource information list comprises at least one piece of information on whether there is a cacheable resource from among the resources of the content, Uniform Resource Locator information, file type information, file size information, priority information, and timing information.

18. The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to receive an uncacheable resource from the second server through the communication module, receive a cacheable resource from one of the first server and the second server that has a shorter estimated download time for the cacheable resource, and complete loading of the web content based on the received uncacheable resource and the received cacheable resource.

19. The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to update at least one piece of information until loading of the web content is completed, update the resource information list based on the updated information, and control the communication module to transmit the updated resource information list to the cloud server.

20. A first server comprising:

a communication module; and

a processor configured to control the communication module,

wherein the processor is further configured to receive a request for at least one resource of a web content from at least one electronic device, and push, to the electronic device, at least one cacheable resource from among resources of the web content and a resource which is redefined as a cacheable resource in an order according to priority.

21. The first server of claim 20, wherein the processor is further configured to control the communication module to push a resource information list of the web content to the electronic device.

22. The first server of claim 21, wherein the resource information list comprises at least one piece of information on whether there is a cacheable resource from among the resource of the web content, Uniform Resource Locator information, file type information, file size information, priority information, and timing information.

23. The first server of claim 20, wherein the redefined resource is an uncacheable resource which is identified as having resource information unchanged from among uncacheable resources included in the web content.

24. The first server of claim 20, wherein the processor is further configured to receive an updated resource information list from the electronic device through the communication module and store the updated resource information list.
