Abstract

A webpage sharing method, an apparatus and a system are disclosed, the method includes: acquiring, by a device with memory and at least one processor, a webpage sharing instruction, acquiring an terminal identification (ID) corresponding to a terminal according to the webpage sharing instruction, acquiring a webpage identifier that identifies at least a portion of the webpage, and transmitting the webpage identifier to an event monitoring process that is associated with a web browser in the terminal corresponding to the ID. The above page sharing method, apparatus and system enable a user to operate without need to additionally open an instant messaging tool so as to avoid extra memory usage, increase memory utilization and improve the running speed of a mobile device.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for sharing a webpage, comprising:
acquiring, by a device with memory and at least one processor, a webpage sharing instruction;
acquiring, by the device, a terminal identification (ID) corresponding to a terminal in response to the acquired webpage sharing instruction;
acquiring, by the device, a webpage identifier that identifies at least a portion of the webpage;
acquiring, by the device, a network address corresponding to the terminal ID, and a port of an event monitoring process for a web browser;
determining, by the device, that the network address is not located in a subnet of the device, and creating a Wi-Fi hotspot through a Wi-Fi component and establishing a connection with the terminal through the Wi-Fi hotspot; and
transmitting, by the device, the webpage identifier to the network address and the port of the event monitoring process for the web browser through the Wi-Fi component.

2. A webpage sharing apparatus, comprising:
a memory storing instructions therein;
one or more processors in communication with the memory, when executing the instructions, configured to cause the webpage sharing apparatus to:
acquire a webpage sharing instruction;
acquire a terminal identification (ID) corresponding to a terminal in response to the acquired webpage sharing instruction:
acquire a webpage identifier that identifies at least a portion of the webpage;
acquire a network address corresponding to the terminal ID, and a port of an event monitoring process that is associated with a web browser in the terminal;
determine that the network address is not located in a subnet of the webpage sharing apparatus, and create a Wi-Fi hotspot through a Wi-Fi component and establish a connection with the terminal through the Wi-Fi hotspot; and
transmit the webpage identifier to the network address and the port of the event monitoring process for the web browser through the Wi-Fi component.

3. A method for sharing a webpage, comparing:
acquiring, by a transmitting terminal having memory and one or more processors, a webpage sharing instruction;
in response to the acquired webpage sharing instruction:
acquiring, by the transmitting terminal, an user identification (ID) according to the webpage sharing instruction;
generating, by the transmitting terminal, a query request according to the user ID;
transmitting, by the transmitting terminal, the query request to a remote server having memory and one or more processors;
extracting, by the remote server, the user ID according to the query request which has been received;
acquiring, by the remote server, a session object corresponding to the user ID;
reading, by the remote server, a terminal identification (ID) for a receiving terminal which has been cached in the session object corresponding to the user ID, and returning the terminal ID to the transmitting terminal; and
receiving, by the transmitting terminal, the terminal ID of the receiving terminal;

acquiring, by the transmitting terminal, a webpage identifier that identifies at least a portion of the webpage in a browser;
transmitting, by the transmitting terminal, the webpage identifier to the receiving terminal corresponding to the terminal ID;
receiving, by the receiving terminal corresponding to the terminal ID, the webpage identifier; and
loading, by the receiving terminal corresponding to the terminal ID, a webpage corresponding to the webpage identifier.

4. The method for sharing webpage according to claim 3 , after receiving, by the receiving terminal, the webpage identifier, further comprising:
determining, by the receiving terminal, whether the browser has started; and
upon determining that the browser has not started:
displaying, by the receiving terminal, a prompt message in a notification bar;
acquiring, by the receiving terminal, a prompt message view instruction which has been input; and
starting, by the receiving terminal, the browser according to the prompt message view instruction and loading the webpage corresponding to the webpage identifier.

5. The method for sharing webpage according to claim 3 , before loading, by the receiving terminal, the webpage, further comprising:
displaying, by the receiving terminal, a risk prompt window; and
acquiring, by the receiving terminal, a loading confirmation instruction which has been input.

6. The method for sharing webpage according to claim 3 , further comprising:
acquiring, by at least one of the transmitting terminal and the receiving terminal, the terminal ID and the user ID which has been input;
generating a device registration request according to the terminal ID and the user ID, and transmitting the device registration request to the remote server;
receiving, by the remote server, the device registration request;
extracting the user ID and terminal ID;
acquiring the session object corresponding to the user ID; and
caching the terminal ID into the session object.

7. The method for sharing webpage according to claim 6 ,
wherein generating the device registration request according to the terminal ID and user ID comprises:
acquiring, by the transmitting terminal, local position information through a position sensor; and
adding the local position information into the device registration request;
wherein caching the terminal ID into the session object comprises:
adding, by the remote server, the local position information corresponding to the terminal ID into the session object.

8. The method for sharing webpage according to claim 7 , wherein the acquiring, by the transmitting terminal, the receiving terminal comprises:
generating, by the transmitting terminal, the query request according to the local position information, and transmitting the query request to the remote server;
extracting, by the remote server, the local position information according to the query request which has been received,
finding the terminal ID at a geographic distance which is less than a threshold value from the local position information through traversing the session object; and
returning the terminal ID to the transmitting terminal.

9. A system for sharing a webpage, comprising:
a transmitting terminal having a first memory storing therein first instructions, and a first one or more processors in communication with the first memory;
a receiving terminal having a second memory storing therein second instructions , and a second one or more processors in communication with the second memory; and
a remote server having a third memory storing therein third instructions, and third one or more processors in communication with the third memory;
wherein the transmitting terminal is configured to:
acquire a webpage sharing instruction;
acquires an user identification (ID) according to the webpage sharing instruction;
generates a query request according to the user ID; and
transmits the query request to the remote server;

wherein the remote server is configured to:
extract the user ID according to the query request which has been received;
acquire a session object corresponding to the user ID;
read a terminal identification (ID) for the receiving terminal which has been cached in the session object corresponding to the user ID; and
return the terminal ID to the transmitting terminal; and

wherein the transmitting terminal is further configured to:
receive the terminal ID of the of the receiving terminal;
acquire a webpage identifier that identifies at least a portion of the webpage in a browser, and
