Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, system, and computer program product for webpage customization. In some embodiments, a method is disclosed. According to the method, a webpage to be provided to a user is obtained. The webpage comprises at least a first element having a first set of style attributes. A second element matching the first element is determined from a set of elements customized for the user. The second element has a second set of style attributes. The webpage is customized for the user by applying at least part of the second set of style attributes to the first element. The customized webpage is provided to the user. In other embodiments, a system and a computer program product are disclosed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
obtaining, by one or more processors, a webpage to be provided to a user, the webpage comprising at least a first element having a first set of style attributes;
determining, by the one or more processors for each element of a set of elements:
respective similarities between a plurality of tags of the first element and a plurality of corresponding tags of the element; and
a matching score between the first element and the element based on the similarities and respective weights of the plurality of tags;

selecting, by the one or more processors, a second element from the set of elements, the second element having a highest matching score with the first element;
receiving, from the user, an indication that the first element matches a third element in the set of elements, the third element having a second set of style attributes;
adjusting, by the one or more processors in response to the receiving, the weights of the plurality of tags, such that the third element has the highest matching score with the first element;
customizing, by the one or more processors, the webpage for the user by applying at least part of the second set of style attributes to the first element; and
providing, by the one or more processors, the customized webpage to the user.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining, by the one or more processors, at least one webpage customized for the user; and
extracting, by the one or more processors, the set of elements from the at least one webpage.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the webpage includes, intercepting, by one or more processors responsive to a server where the webpage is stored sending the webpage to the user, the webpage from the server.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein selecting the second element includes:
identifying, by the one or more processors, one or more elements of a same type as the first element from the set of elements; and
selecting, by one or more processors, the second element from the one or more elements.

5. A system comprising:
a processing unit; and
a memory coupled to the processing unit and storing instructions thereon, the instructions, when executed by the processing unit, performing actions comprising:
obtaining a webpage to be provided to a user, the webpage comprising at least a first element having a first set of style attributes;
determining, for each element of a set of elements:
respective similarities between a plurality of tags of the first element and a plurality of corresponding tags of the element; and
a matching score between the first element and the element based on the similarities and respective weights of the plurality of tags;

selecting a second element from the set of elements, the second element having a highest matching score with the first element;
receiving, from the user, an indication that the first element matches a third element in the set of elements, the third element having a second set of style attributes;
adjusting, in response to the receiving, the weights of the plurality of tags, such that the third element has the highest matching score with the first element;
customizing the webpage for the user by applying at least part of the second set of style attributes to the first element; and
providing the customized webpage to the user.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the actions further comprise:
obtaining at least one webpage customized for the user; and
extracting the set of elements from the at least one webpage.

7. The system of claim 5 , wherein obtaining the webpage includes:
in response to a server where the webpage is stored sending the webpage to the user, intercepting the webpage from the server.

8. The system of claim 5 , wherein selecting the second element includes:
identifying at least one element of a same type as the first element from the set of elements; and
selecting the second element from the at least one element.

9. A computer program product being tangibly stored on a non-transient machine-readable medium and comprising machine-executable instructions, the instructions, when executed on a device, causing the device to perform actions comprising:
obtaining a webpage to be provided to a user, the webpage comprising at least a first element having a first set of style attributes;
determining, for each element of a set of elements:
respective similarities between a plurality of tags of the first element and a plurality of corresponding tags of the element; and
a matching score between the first element and the element based on the similarities and respective weights of the plurality of tags;

selecting a second element from the set of elements, the second element having a highest matching score with the first element;
receiving, from the user, an indication that the first element matches a third element in the set of elements, the third element having a second set of style attributes;
adjusting, in response to the receiving, the weights of the plurality of tags, such that the third element has the highest matching score with the first element;
customizing the webpage for the user by applying at least part of the second set of style attributes to the first element; and
providing the customized webpage to the user.

10. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein the actions further comprise:
obtaining at least one webpage customized for the user; and
extracting the set of elements from the at least one webpage.

11. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein obtaining the webpage comprises:
in response to a server where the webpage is stored sending the webpage to the user, intercepting the webpage from the server.

12. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein selecting the second element includes:
identifying at least one element of a same type as the first element from the set of elements; and
selecting the second element from the at least one element.
