Abstract

A method for loading a web page comprises: searching a web application for user interface change portions, execution of the user interface change portions being capable of triggering a user interface to change; marking the user interface change portions to interrupt, upon execution of the web application, the execution at least once and to execute, upon interruption, at least one of the user interface change portions.

Claims

1. A method for loading a web page, the method comprising:

searching, by one or more processors, a web application for user interface change portions, wherein execution of the user interface change portions triggers a user interface to change; and

marking, by one or more processors, the user interface change portions to interrupt, upon execution of the web application, the execution of the web application at least once and to execute, upon an interruption of the execution of the web application, at least one of the user interface change portions.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein searching the web application for user interface change portions comprises:

running, by one or more processors, the web application step by step;

monitoring, by one or more processors, an event of a document object model (DOM) tree modification corresponding to the web application; and

recording, in response to one or more processors having monitored the event of the DOM tree modification, a code corresponding to a changed node as the user interface change portion.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein marking the user interface change portions comprises:

marking, by one or more processors, the user interface change portions by setting the user interface change portions as being executed with an N unit time delay, wherein N is greater than or equal to 0.

4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

dividing, by one or more processors, the execution of the web application into at least two stages;

determining, by one or more processors, from found user interface change portions, a first user interface change portion corresponding to a first stage in the at least two stages; and

wherein marking the user interface change portions comprises;

marking, by one or more processors, the first user interface change portion to interrupt, upon execution of the web application, the execution of the web application after finishing execution of the first stage; and

executing, upon interruption of the execution of the web application after finishing execution of the first stage, the first user interface change portion.

5. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

dividing, by one or more processors, the execution of the web application into at least two stages;

determining, by one or more processors, from found user interface change portions, a user interface change portion corresponding to each stage in the at least two stages; and

wherein the marking the user interface change portions comprises;

marking, by one or more processors, the user interface change portion corresponding to the each stage to interrupt, upon execution of the web application, the execution of the web application after finishing execution of each stage; and

executing, by one or more processors, upon execution of the web application after finishing execution of each stage, the user interface change portion corresponding to each stage.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein dividing the execution of the web application into at least two stages comprises:

dividing, by one or more processors, an entire user interface resulting from the execution of the web application, into at least two portions; and

dividing, by one or more processors, the execution of the web application into at least two stages based on the at least two portions of the entire user interface, wherein a corresponding portion of the entire user interface is rendered after finishing execution of each stage in the at least two stages.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein dividing the entire user interface that resulted from the execution of the web application, into at least two portions, comprises:

dividing, by one or more processors, the entire user interface, which resulted from the execution of the web application, into at least two portions according to a rule of displaying a frame before content.

8. The method according to claim 6, wherein dividing the entire user interface that resulted from the execution of the web application, into at least two portions, comprises:

dividing, by one or more processors, the entire user interface, which resulted from the execution of the web application, into at least two portions according to a user-defined display order.

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

listing, by one or more processors, in response to encountering a marked portion in the execution of the web application, the marked portion in a ready queue;

in response to the ready queue including all of the first user interface change portions, interrupting, by one or more processors, the execution of the web application and executing the all of the first user interface change portions.

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

listing, by one or more processors, in response to encountering a marked portion in the execution of the web application, the marked portion in a ready queue;

in response to the ready queue not including all of the first user interface change portions, continuing, by one or more processors, with execution of the web application by skipping the marked portion.

11. The method according to claim 5, further comprising:

in response to encountering a marked portion in the execution of the web application and in response to the marked portion corresponding to a current stage, listing, by one or more processors, the marked portion in a ready queue;

in response to the marked portion being listed in the ready queue and in response to the ready queue including all user interface change portions corresponding to a current stage, interrupting, by one or more processors, the execution of the web application and executing the all user interface change portions corresponding to the current stage; and

in response the marked portion being listed in a candidate queue, continuing, by one or more processors, the execution of the web application by skipping the marked portion.

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

in response to starting execution of each stage of the web application and in response to the candidate queue including user interface change portions corresponding to the current stage, moving, by one or more processors, the user interface change portions corresponding to the current stage from the candidate queue to the ready queue.

13. A system for loading a web page, the system comprising:

a searching hardware module configured to search a web application for user interface change portions, wherein execution of the user interface change portions triggers a user interface to change; and

a marking hardware module configured to mark the user interface change portions to interrupt, upon execution of the web application, the execution of the web application at least once and to execute, upon an interruption of the execution of the web application, at least one of the user interface change portions.

14. The system according to claim 13, wherein the searching hardware module comprises:
