Abstract

Webpage loading methods and devices include, in addition to sending an address of a first webpage to a server, a client further sends a name of a first-webpage resource stored in the client, such that the server can determine, according to the address of the first webpage and the name of the first-webpage resource stored in the client, a first push resource to be sent to the client, where the first push resource is all the resources required for loading the first webpage apart from the first-webpage resource stored in the client, which avoids pushing, by the server to the client, a resource that has been locally stored in the client, and therefore saves a bandwidth resource of a communications network.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A webpage loading method, comprising:
receiving, by a server, an address of a first webpage, a first name of a first-webpage resource, and a second name of a second-webpage resource from a client, the first webpage being associated with a plurality of resources needed for loading the first webpage, each of the resources needed for loading the first webpage corresponding to a name, a first one of the resources needed for loading the first webpage corresponding to the first name, and a second one of the resources needed for loading the first webpage corresponding to the second name;
determining, by the server according to the address of the first webpage, names of all the resources needed for loading the first webpage;
generating, by the server, a first push resource according to the address of the first webpage, the first name of the first-webpage resource, and the second name of the second-webpage resource received from the client, the first push resource comprising the resources needed for loading the first webpage except for the first one of the resources corresponding to the first name and the second one of the resources corresponding to the second name, the server generating the first push resource by determining the first push resource according to the first name, the second name, and names of all the resources needed for loading the first webpage, and the first push resource comprising all the resources needed for loading the first webpage except for the first one of the resources and the second one of the resources; and
sending, by the server, the first push resource to the client.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, by the server, a time indication from the client, the time indication comprising time information of the first one of the resources and the second one of the resources;
determining, by the server according to the time indication, a resource that needs to be updated in the first-webpage resource and the second-webpage resource;
determining, by the server, a latest resource corresponding to the resource that needs to be updated; and
sending, by the server, the latest resource to the client.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending, by the server to the client, names of all the resources needed for loading the first webpage such that the client is able to determine, according to the names of all the resources needed for loading the first webpage, the first name of the first-webpage resource and the second name of the second-webpage resource.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first name of the first-webpage resource and the second name of the second-webpage resource comprise parameters that uniquely identify the first-webpage resource and the second-webpage resource.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the parameters that uniquely identify the first-webpage resource and the second-webpage resource comprise a size attribute and a user identity.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first name of the first-webpage resource and the second name of the second-webpage resource comprise a data structure represented using a list, an array, a character string, or an Extensible Markup Language file.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein time information associated with the first webpage is received by the server from the client at a same time as the address of the first webpage, the first name of the first-webpage resource, and the second name of the second-webpage resource are received by the server from the client.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein time information associated with the first webpage is received by the server from the client at a different time than the address of the first webpage, the first name of the first-webpage resource, and the second name of the second-webpage resource are received by the server from the client.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the server receives a protocol support capability request from the client, and the protocol support capability request comprises a cached-subresources field.

10. A device, comprising:
a memory configured to store instructions; and
a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to:
receive an address of a first webpage, a first name of a first-webpage resource, and a second name of a second-webpage resource from a client, the first webpage being associated with a plurality of resources needed for loading the first webpage, each of the resources needed for loading the first webpage corresponding to a name, a first one of the resources needed for loading the first webpage corresponding to the first name, and a second one of the resources needed for loading the first webpage corresponding to the second name;
determine names of all the resources needed for loading the first webpage according to the address of the first webpage;
generate a first push resource according to the address of the first webpage, the first name of the first-webpage resource, and the second name of the second-webpage resource received from the client, the first push resource comprising the resources needed for loading the first webpage except for the first one of the resources corresponding to the first name and the second one of the resources corresponding to the second name, the first push resource being generated by determining the first push resource according to the first name, the second name, and names of all the resources needed for loading the first webpage, and the first push resource comprising all the resources needed for loading the first webpage except for the first one of the resources and the second one of the resources; and
send the first push resource to the client.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
receive a time indication from the client, the time indication comprising time information of the first one of the resources and the second one of the resources;
determine a resource that needs to be updated in the first-webpage resource and the second-webpage resource according to the time indication;
determine a latest resource corresponding to the resource that needs to be updated; and
send the latest resource to the client.

12. The device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to send names of all the resources needed for loading the first webpage to the client such that the client is able to determine according to the names of all the resources needed for loading the first webpage, the first name of the first-webpage resource and the second name of the second-webpage resource.

13. The device of claim 10 , wherein the first name of the first-webpage resource and the second name of the second-webpage resource comprise parameters that uniquely identify the first-webpage resource and the second-webpage resource.

14. The device of claim 13 , wherein the parameters that uniquely identify the first-webpage resource and the second-webpage resource comprise a size attribute and a user identity.

15. The device of claim 10 , wherein the first name of the first-webpage resource and the second name of the second-webpage resource comprise a data structure represented using a list, an array, a character string, or an Extensible Markup Language file.

16. The device of claim 10 , wherein time information associated with the first webpage is received by a server from the client at a same time as the address of the first webpage, the first name of the first-webpage resource, and the second name of the second-webpage resource are received by the server from the client.
