Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for providing website authentication data for a search engine, the method comprising: receiving website authentication data from a plurality of authentication data sources; storing the website authentication data; and transmitting the stored website authentication data to the search engine when a request from the search engine for retrieving the website authentication data is received. By virtue of the method, the search engine may quickly retrieve complete website authentication data, thereby facilitating the search engine's search speed.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for providing website authentication data for a search engine, comprising:
receiving website authentication data from a plurality of authentication data sources;
reorganizing the website authentication data into a data structure facilitating the search engine to retrieve;
storing the reorganized website authentication data; and
transmitting the stored website authentication data to the search engine when a request from the search engine for retrieving the website authentication data is received;
wherein the reorganizing the website authentication data into a data structure facilitating the search engine to retrieve comprises:
separating website authentication data indexed by uniform resource locators from data indexed by user identifiers, and merging the data indexed by same uniform resource locators; and
merging the data indexed by same user identifiers.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
filtering out duplicate website authentication data from the received website authentication data.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein storing the reorganized website authentication data further comprises:
storing update time of the reorganized website authentication data.

4. An apparatus for providing website authentication data for a search engine, comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory storing instructions, the instructions when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving website authentication data from a plurality of authentication data sources;
reorganizing the website authentication data into a data structure facilitating the search engine to retrieve;
storing the reorganized website authentication data; and
transmitting the stored website authentication data to the search engine when a request from the search engine for retrieving the website authentication data is receive;
wherein the reorganizing the website authentication data into a data structure facilitating the search engine to retrieve comprises:
separating website authentication data indexed by uniform resource locators from data indexed by user identifiers, and merging the data indexed by same uniform resource locators; and
merging the data indexed by same user identifiers.

5. The apparatus according to claim 4 , the operations further comprising:
filtering out duplicate website authentication data from the received website authentication data.

6. The apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein storing the reorganized website authentication data further comprises:
storing update time of the reorganized web site authentication data.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, wherein the computer program, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving website authentication data from a plurality of authentication data sources;
reorganizing the website authentication data into a data structure facilitating the search engine to retrieve;
storing the reorganized website authentication data; and
transmitting the stored website authentication data to the search engine when a request from the search engine for retrieving the website authentication data is received;
wherein the reorganizing the website authentication data into a data structure facilitating the search engine to retrieve comprises:
separating website authentication data indexed by uniform resource locators from data indexed by user identifiers, and merging the data indexed by same uniform resource locators; and
merging the data indexed by same user identifiers.
