Abstract

A technique for acquiring a web page includes: receiving, at a client, a user instruction; obtaining from the instruction a page number of a web page that a user desires to access; searching for web page data in a hidden form that is cached in advance at the client, the search being based at least in part on the page number and the hidden form comprising web page data for a plurality of page numbers and in the event that web page data is found in the hidden form, generating, by the client, the web page using the web page data.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
obtaining a page number of a web page a user desires to access;
determining, using one or more processors, a starting position and an ending position within a database at a server based at least in part on the page number and a preset amount of data each web page is configured to display;
searching for web page data based at least in part on the starting position and the ending position in a hidden form that is cached in advance at a client, the hidden form comprising data associated with a plurality of page numbers;
in the event the web page data is not found in the hidden form, acquiring the web page data from the server;
receiving data acquired from the server;
updating the hidden form based at least in part on the data acquired from the server;
searching the updated hidden form for the web page data the user desires to access based at least in part on the starting position and the ending position;
providing an automatic mapping component for mapping data; and
generating the web page using at least the automatic mapping component to translate the web page data.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein acquiring the web page data from the server includes:
sending to the server a web page data acquiring request that includes the page number of the web page that the user desires to access, the preset amount of data that each web page can display, and an amount of data that the hidden form is configured to store; and
receiving the data acquired from the server, wherein the data acquired from the server corresponds to a plurality of web pages, including the web page data corresponding to the web page that the user desires to access.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data acquired from the server includes a first amount of web page data read by the server before the starting position and a second amount of web page data read by the server after the ending position.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first amount of web page data read by the server before the starting position is equal to the second amount of web page data read by the server after the ending position.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising configuring and storing properties of the web page data.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the page number is included in a displayed set of page numbers.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hidden form comprises a specific HTML form including one or more form elements associated with an invisible type.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hidden form is configured to store non-user input data.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a configuration data including the preset amount of data that each web page is configured to display and an amount of data that the hidden form is configured to store.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the web page using at least the automatic mapping component to translate the web page data comprises to:
translate the web page data into web page source code; and
insert the web page source code into the web page.

11. A system, comprising:
one or more processors configured to:
obtain a page number of a web page a user desires to access;
determine a starting position and an ending position within a database at a server based at least in part on the page number and a preset amount of data each web page is configured to display;
search for web page data based at least in part on the starting position and the ending position in a hidden form that is cached in advance at a client, the hidden form comprising data associated with a plurality of page numbers;
in the event the web page data is not found in the hidden form, acquire the web page data from the server;
receive data acquired from the server;
update the hidden form based at least in part on the data acquired from the server;
search the updated hidden form for the web page data the user desires to access based at least in part on the starting position and the ending position;
provide an automatic mapping component for mapping data; and
generate the web page using at least the automatic mapping component to translate the web page data; and

one or more memories coupled to the one or more processors and configured to provide the one or more processors with instructions.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein to acquire the web page data from the server includes to:
send to the server a web page data acquiring request that includes the page number of the web page that the user desires to access, the preset amount of data that each web page can display, and an amount of data that the hidden form is configured to store; and
receive the data acquired from the server, wherein the data acquired from the server corresponds to a plurality of web pages, including the web page data corresponding to the web page that the user desires to access.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the data acquired from the server includes a first amount of web page data read by the server before the starting position and a second amount of web page data read by the server after the ending position.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the first amount of web page data read by the server before the starting position is equal to the second amount of web page data read by the server after the ending position.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to configure and store properties of the web page data.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the page number is included in a displayed set of page numbers.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the hidden form comprises a specific HTML form including one or more form elements associated with an invisible type.

18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the hidden form is configured to store non-user input data.

19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to receive a configuration data including the preset amount of data that each web page is configured to display and an amount of data that the hidden form is configured to store.

20. A computer program product, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
obtaining a page number of a web page a user desires to access;
determining a starting position and an ending position within a database at a server based at least in part on the page number and a preset amount of data each web page is configured to display;
searching for web page data based at least in part on the starting position and the ending position in a hidden form that is cached in advance at a client, the hidden form comprising data associated with a plurality of page numbers;
in the event the web page data is not found in the hidden form, acquiring the web page data from the server;
receiving data acquired from the server;
updating the hidden form based at least in part on the data acquired from the server;
searching the updated hidden form for the web page data the user desires to access based at least in part on the starting position and the ending position;
providing an automatic mapping component for mapping data; and
generating the web page using at least the automatic mapping component to translate the web page data.
