Abstract

A network resource access apparatus, a hybrid apparatus, and a method are provided. The network resource access apparatus includes a native application programming interface (API) unit that provides a native API having a feature of accessing the operating system; a script parsing unit that parses the obtained service function script that is written in a specified script language to obtain the content of the service function described by the service function script; a page rendering unit that, according to the content of the service function, calls the native API provided by the native API unit to render and generate an interactive page constituted by a plurality of native UI components. The time and the labor costs for developing service functions may be reduced.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A programmable device, comprising:
a processor configured to:
provide a network resource access apparatus comprising a native application programming interface (API) unit having a feature of accessing an operating system, wherein the feature of accessing the operating system at least includes a feature of accessing native user interface (UI) components of the operating system;
parse a service function script that is written in a specified script language to obtain a content of a service function described by the service function script;
according to the content of the service function, call a native API provided by the native API unit to render and generate an interactive page constituted by a plurality of native UI components in a current window; and
according to a network resource access request:
select a target device between the network resource access apparatus and an HTML browsing engine,
acquire a target file, and
call the target device to generate a target webpage corresponding to the target file and display the target webpage in the current window.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
in response to an operation of a user on the interactive page, write parameters corresponding to a content of the operation to a service function script corresponding to the interactive page.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein
the HTML browsing engine, according to received webpage document data, generates a corresponding webpage and includes a JavaScript engine for parsing the webpage document data and a typesetting engine for generating a webpage corresponding to the webpage document data,
wherein:
when the target device is the network resource access apparatus, the target file is the service function script corresponding to the network resource access request, and the target webpage is the interactive page corresponding to the service function script, and
when the target device is the HTML browsing engine, the target file is the webpage document data corresponding to the network resource access request, and the target webpage is the webpage corresponding to the webpage document data.

4. The device according to claim 3 , wherein the network resource access request includes a URL, and the processor is further configured to:
according to the URL, acquire a location of network resource associated with the network resource access request; and
acquire the corresponding target file from the location of the network resource.

5. The device according to claim 3 , wherein the specified script language is JavaScript, and the processor is further configured to call the JavaScript engine of the HTML browsing engine.

6. The device according to claim 3 , wherein the network resource access request includes a URL, the URL carries a type identifier used to indicate an engine type of the network resource access apparatus or the HTML browser engine, and a method for the processor to select the corresponding target device from the network resource access apparatus and the HTML browsing engine according to the network resource access request includes:
identifying the type identifier carried in the URL; and
according to an identification result, selecting one from the network resource access apparatus and the HTML browsing engine as the target device.

7. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising: a memory wherein the memory is configured to store instructions corresponding to the network resource access apparatus.

8. The device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the feature of accessing the operating system includes one or more of a feature of accessing a sensor component of the operating system and a feature of accessing a file.

9. A network resource access method, comprising:
parsing, by a processor of a programmable device, an obtained service function script, and acquiring a content of a service function described by the service function script;
according to the content of the service function, calling, by the processor, a native API unit of a network resource access apparatus having a feature of accessing an operating system to render and generate an interactive page that corresponds to the service function script and is constituted by a plurality of native UI components in a current window, wherein the feature of accessing the operating system at least includes a feature of accessing native UI components of the operating system; and
according to a network resource access request:
selecting a target device between the network resource access apparatus and an HTML browsing engine,
acquiring a target file, and
calling the target device to generate a target webpage corresponding to the target file and display the target webpage in the current window.

10. The method according to claim 9 , further including:
in response to an operation of a user on the interactive page, writing, by the processor, parameters corresponding to a content of the operation to a service function script corresponding to the interactive page; and
parsing, by the processor, the service function script, and according to the content of the service function obtained through parsing, calling the native API to render and generate the interactive page in response to the operation of the user.

11. The method according to claim 9 , wherein:
the HTML browsing engine, according to received webpage document data, generates a corresponding webpage; and includes a JavaScript engine for parsing the webpage document data and a typesetting engine for generating a webpage corresponding to the webpage document data,
wherein:
when the target file is the service function script corresponding to the network resource access request, the target device is the network resource access apparatus, and the target webpage is the interactive page corresponding to the service function script, and
when the target file is the webpage document data corresponding to the network resource access request, the target device is the HTML browsing engine, and the target webpage is the webpage corresponding to the webpage document data.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein:
when a specified script language of the service function script is JavaScript, the network resource access apparatus parses the service function script by calling the JavaScript engine of the HTML browsing engine.

13. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the network resource access request includes a URL, the URL carries a type identifier used to indicate an engine type of the network resource access apparatus or the HTML browser engine, and a method for the processor to select the corresponding target device from the network resource access apparatus and the HTML browsing engine according to the network resource access request includes:
identifying the type identifier carried in the URL; and
according to an identification result, selecting one from the network resource access apparatus and the HTML browsing engine as the target device.

14. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the network resource access request includes a URL, and acquiring the corresponding target file according to the network resource access request includes:
according to the URL, acquiring a location of network resource associated with the network resource access request; and
acquiring the corresponding target file from the location of the network resource.

15. The method according to claim 9 , prior to parsing the obtained service function script and acquiring the content of the service function described by the
