Browser Bookmark Content Extraction for Offline Reading
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
When visiting webpages stored as bookmarks, users face reduced reading efficiency due to excessive network traffic and unwanted content like advertisements and links, which wastes bandwidth and slows down the browsing experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that allow clients to initiate offline webpage content downloading for bookmarks, where a cloud server receives bookmark URL information, determines if offline downloading is requested, and sends only the key webpage content to the client, excluding advertisements and links, enabling offline reading without reconnecting to the internet.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the client visits the webpage corresponding to the bookmark URL by reconnecting to the network, then the complete webpage content including advertisements and links is obtained, but network traffic is wasted dramatically and reading efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the key webpage content from the complete webpage, separating it from advertisements and links. The server identifies and extracts main text content, headings, and essential information, then sends only this extracted content to the client, eliminating unnecessary data transfer and improving reading efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the webpage content into key information and non-key information (advertisements, links). By dividing the webpage structure and selectively transmitting only the essential segments, the system reduces network traffic while maintaining reading value
2Loss of information
If the server sends the complete webpage content to the client, then all content including advertisements and links is transmitted, but network traffic increases and reading efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The server performs content extraction by identifying and removing advertisements, links, and other non-essential elements from the webpage. Only the core informational content is retained and transmitted to the client, directly reducing the quantity of data sent while preserving reading efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by sending only the necessary portion of the webpage content rather than the complete page. The server determines the optimal amount of content to extract and transmit, avoiding the excess of sending full webpage data including promotional material
3Loss of energy
If the client downloads webpage content offline, then network traffic is saved and reading efficiency is improved, but the client must store and process content locally without server assistance
Solution Approach 1:
The server acts as an intermediary that performs the content extraction and preparation work before transmission. Instead of requiring the client to have complex offline processing capabilities, the server pre-processes the webpage content, extracts key information, and delivers it in a ready-to-read format, simplifying the client's role

AI summary
Exemplary embodiments relate to a field of network information technology. Described are a method and a system for sending webpage content of browser bookmark uniform resource locator (URL). The method includes the following steps: receiving browser bookmark URL information sent from a client, the browser bookmark URL information comprising a browser bookmark URL and a message indicating whether the client starts a function of webpage content offline downloading; determining whether a function of webpage content offline downloading of the client is started according to the prompting message; when the function of webpage content offline downloading of the client is client is started, extracting key webpage content of the webpage corresponding to the browser book mark URL; and sending the key webpage content to the client. The exemplary embodiments of present disclosure can save network traffic and improve a reading efficiency of the webpage corresponding to the bookmark URL.
