Description

Method for loading browser plug-in icon and browser

technical field

The invention relates to a browser plug-in display technology, in particular to a method for loading a browser plug-in icon based on a browser display interface and a browser.

Background technique

A browser plug-in is a program written in compliance with a certain standard application programming interface (API, Application Programming Interface) and used to supplement the functions of the browser, and can be automatically executed when the IE browser (referred to as the browser) is started. For example, after a related plug-in is installed in the browser, the browser can directly call the installed plug-in to process files of a specific type. Among them, common browser plug-ins include: Flash plug-ins, RealPlayer plug-ins, MMS plug-ins, ad blocking plug-ins, ActiveX plug-ins, and the like.

Browsers are the most frequently used client programs for communication devices. They generally support Netscape Plug-in Application Programming Interface (NPAPI, Netscape Plug-in Application Programming Interface) and Pepper Plug-in Application Programming Interface (PPAPI, Pepper Plug-in Application Programming Interface). It is an extended browser plug-in in various formats, and the browser plug-in can assist in enhancing the function of the browser. Among them, the NPAPI plug-in is a third-party browser extension program composed of .js/.dll files, etc., so that the Java Script code can call the local binary code. The code running in the NPAPI plug-in has all the permissions of the current user and cannot take advantage of Google Chrome's sandbox technology and other security protection technologies. PPAPI is developed on the basis of NPAPI. By making some modifications to NPAPI, it is more secure and has better portability and performance.

Before using the browser plug-in, you need to install it. After installation, you need to restart the browser to make the installed plug-in take effect, and load the browser plug-in icon on the browser display interface, so that the user can click the displayed browser. Plug-in icon to activate, deactivate or upgrade browser plug-ins. The loaded browser plug-in icon (ICON) occupies a separate row in the toolbar of the browser display interface, and multiple browser plug-in icons are sequentially arranged in the row.

As can be seen from the above, there is an existing method for loading a browser plug-in icon on a browser display interface. The browser plug-in icon displayed in the browser display interface needs to have an exclusive row of toolbars, so that the displayable height of the content in the browser page is reduced. , thereby affecting the display effect of the content in the browser page and reducing the user's business experience; further, the positions of the browser plug-in icons loaded in the browser display interface are fixed, and the user can only set whether to display or hide it through configuration. The browser plug-in icon, and after choosing to hide the browser plug-in icon, the corresponding position in the browser display interface is an empty area and reserved for the subsequent display area of the browser plug-in icon, which cannot realize the dynamic behavior of the browser plug-in icon. Adjustment; moreover, the static method of setting browser plug-in icons cannot reflect the update information of some browser plug-ins in real time. The ad blocking plug-in cannot yet provide relevant ad blocking information, cannot meet the user's personalized needs, and reduces the user's business experience.

Detailed ways

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure will be more thoroughly understood, and will fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

The existing browser plug-in icon loaded in the browser display interface occupies a row in the toolbar of the browser display interface alone, so that the displayable height of the content in the browser page is reduced, thereby affecting the display effect of the content in the browser page. ; Further, the number of browser plug-ins installed by the user generally does not exceed five, and a row of toolbars is occupied. Under the circumstance that the number of installed browser plug-ins is limited, the space of the toolbar in this row is not effectively utilized, which reduces the number of browser plug-ins. The space utilization of the page.

Currently, in a browser display interface, all default interface components of the operating system are usually loaded, including browser plug-ins and non-browser plug-ins. The interface components corresponding to non-browser plug-ins include: browser address bar, browser search bar, Tab page, start page, status bar, toolbar, etc., and the interface components corresponding to browser plug-ins include browser plug-in bars. in,

The browser address bar is used to input website information, for example, Uniform Resource Locator (URL, Uniform Resource Locator) information to access the website, occupies a fixed length in the browser display interface, and the length of the browser address bar is longer, generally 200 character length.

In the embodiment of the present invention, considering that the length of the address bar of the browser is relatively long, after inputting the website information, for example, the uniform resource locator information, there is still a relatively long available space that is not effectively used. Therefore, the available space can be used. Set browser plug-in icons. In this way, it is not necessary to separately set the browser plug-in icon to occupy a row in the toolbar, and the displayable height of the content in the browser page can be increased, thereby improving the display effect of the content in the browser page.

FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a method for loading a browser plug-in icon according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 1, the process includes:

Step 101, pre-setting a plug-in container for displaying the browser plug-in icon in the available space in the browser address bar corresponding to each web page, and constructing a mapping relationship set between the web page and the length of the plug-in container;

In this step, based on the same browser, in different web pages, since the length of the URL information corresponding to different web pages is different, and the length of the browser address bar is the same in each web page, therefore, different web pages correspond to The available space in the address bar of your browser may or may not be the same. The mapping relationship set includes the mapping relationship between each web page and the length of the corresponding plug-in container. In this way, as an optional embodiment, constructing a set of mapping relationships between web pages and the length of a plug-in container (BrowserActionsContainer) includes:

A11, obtain the character length occupied by the URL information corresponding to the webpage;

In this step, each web page corresponds to a website information. For example, for the 360 navigation page, the corresponding URL information is: http://hao.360.cn/? 1004. For the most complete recruitment information page, the corresponding website information is: http://www.liepin.com/event/landingpage/sojob2.shtml? mscid=t_dx_013&utm_source=360cainixihuan&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=information-job&utm_content=general term&utm_term=the most complete recruitment information.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the length of the website information is identified by the length of characters. For each determined web page, the character length of the corresponding URL information can also be determined.

A12: Calculate the character length of the plug-in container corresponding to the web page according to the character length of the browser address bar and the character length occupied by the web address information corresponding to the web page.

In this step, due to the different lengths of the website information, the available space in the address bar of the browser where each website information is located is also different. That is to say, the character lengths of the plug-in containers corresponding to (mapped) different web pages will also be different.

In the embodiment of the present invention, since the length of the URL information corresponding to the web page can be determined, the character length of the corresponding plug-in container can be calculated for each web page, that is, the mapping relationship between the web page and the length of the plug-in container can be constructed. Among them, the length of the plug-in container can be calculated by the following formula:

L _i =LL _urli

In the formula,

Li is the length of the plug-in container corresponding to the _i -th web page, where i is a natural number;

L is the length of the browser address bar;

L _urli is the length of the URL information corresponding to the i-th web page.

In practical applications, in the browser upgrade process, the upgrade is often implemented by means of built-in functions, and the built-in functions are programs built into the browser. The built-in program of the browser is also displayed in the address bar of the browser. Therefore, as another optional embodiment, the method may further include:

A browser built-in function container for displaying the browser built-in function program icon is set in the available space in the browser address bar.

In this step, since the browser built-in function program icons have a certain number, the length occupied by the browser built-in function program icons may be a constant value.

As an optional embodiment, the browser built-in function container is set at the end of the browser address bar and extends forward by a predetermined length, wherein the beginning end of the browser address bar is used to input website information, that is, the browser address On the left side of the column, the preset length is the total length of one or more browser built-in function program icons in the browser built-in function container.

In this way, the plug-in container length can be calculated by the following formula:

L _i =LL _urli -L _n

In the formula,

L _n is the length of the browser built-in function container. In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to further improve the display effect of the content in the browser page, other related icons in the browser display interface can also be aggregated, that is, the icons in the browser display interface can be managed modularly. The method further includes:

Set the toolbar buttons and search bar in the available space along with the browser's address bar.

In this step, since the length of the address bar of the browser is generally 200, the screen width of the display interface of the browser is not covered, that is, there is a certain available space on the left and right sides of the address bar of the browser, so that the available space can be used within the available space. Set the corresponding toolbar button and search bar to aggregate each icon. By aggregating other related icons in the browser display interface into the toolbar or search bar. In this way, the available space of the browser display interface can be effectively increased, so that the display space of the content in the browser page is larger and the display effect is better. It is a well-known technology to aggregate other related icons in the browser display interface into a toolbar or a search bar, and details are omitted here.

As an optional embodiment, the set toolbar is located on the left side of the browser address bar as the left side of the beginning, and the search bar is located on the right side of the browser address bar as the right side of the end. That is, the right side of the toolbar is adjacent to the left side of the browser address bar, and the left side of the search bar is adjacent to the right side of the browser address bar.

In this embodiment of the present invention, browser plug-ins include but are not limited to: chat software client plug-ins, virtual machine desktop plug-ins, email reminder plug-ins, other plug-ins with message reminder functions, Flash plug-ins, RealPlayer plug-ins, MMS plug-ins, ad blocking plug-ins, and ActiveX plugins, etc.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a first structure of a browser display interface according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2 , the browser display interface is provided with three independent parts, namely: toolbar buttons, (browser) address bar and search bar. Among them, in the address bar, after reserving the available space for the website information, a plug-in container and a built-in function of the browser are also provided.

The location of the plug-in container can be set on the left side of the built-in function of the browser. If the user cancels the display (hide) of the built-in function of the browser, the plug-in container can be arranged directly from the end (right side) of the browser address bar. Built-in functions, the plug-in container is arranged from the left side of the browser's built-in functions.

Logically, the plug-in container (BrowserActionsContainer) is a child element of the browser address bar, so the layout of the plug-in container is controlled by the location and size of the browser address bar. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the maximum available space length of the plug-in container is: the total length of the address bar of the browser minus the length of the built-in function of the browser, and then minus the length of the website information (URL). Among them, the total length of the browser address bar is generally 200. If the available space of the plug-in container is not enough to accommodate the display of all plug-ins, the length of the URL information can be compressed, as long as the URL display can be prioritized, and some parts of the plug-in container are hidden. Display of browser plug-in icons.

Toolbar buttons include: home button, forward button, back button, refresh button, resume close button, favorite button and full-featured button. As an optional embodiment, the toolbar button is arranged on the left side of the browser toolbar, and the words "toolbar button" are displayed.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the browser may be a Firefox browser (Firefox), a Google Chrome (Google Chrome), a 360 security browser, etc. Of course, it can be understood that the embodiments of the present invention do not limit the browser's specific type.

It should be noted that step 101 only needs to be executed once, and does not need to be executed every time the browser plug-in icon is loaded.

Step 102, after monitoring that the browser loads the web page, query a pre-stored set of mapping relationships between the web page and the length of the plug-in container, obtain the length of the plug-in container mapped by the loaded web page, and store the length of the plug-in container in the plug-in container according to the acquired length of the plug-in container. Loading browser plug-in icon in .

In this step, as an optional embodiment, a management page for unified management of browser plug-in icons may be set in the browser, and the management page is set with the browser plug-in icon information that the user needs to display, that is, the browser to be loaded. The plug-in icon set, in the to-be-loaded browser plug-in icon set, stores the browser plug-in icons set by the user that need to be displayed and those that do not need to be displayed. In this way, each time the browser is started, the icon sets of the browser plug-ins to be loaded are the same for different web pages. The number of browser plug-ins also varies.

As an optional embodiment, loading a browser plug-in icon in the plug-in container according to the obtained plug-in container length includes:

Calculate the total length of all browser plug-in icons in the browser plug-in icon set to be loaded;

Determine whether the calculated total length is greater than the obtained length of the plug-in container, and if so, select the browser plug-in icon that conforms to the preset loading strategy from the set of browser plug-in icons to be loaded, and load it into the plug-in container ; otherwise, load all browser plug-in icons in the to-be-loaded browser plug-in icon set into the plug-in container.

In this step, as an optional embodiment, selecting a browser plug-in icon that conforms to a preset loading policy includes:

According to the priority of browser plug-in icons, sort the browser plug-in icons set to be displayed in the browser plug-in icon set to be loaded;

In this step, the user may set a priority for the browser plug-in icon in the set of browser plug-in icons to be loaded. In this way, when the space in the plug-in container is limited, the browser plug-in icon with a high priority is loaded first. Of course, the browser plug-in icon priority may also be set by the browser according to information such as the function of the plug-in, the number of times the plug-in is downloaded, and the like.

Calculate the aggregate length of the top N browser plug-in icons in the sorting, so that the calculated aggregate length is not greater than the obtained plug-in container length, and use the top N browser plug-in icons in the sorting as the load conforming to the preset The browser plug-in icon for the policy, where N is a natural number.

Of course, in practical applications, as another optional embodiment, selecting a browser plug-in icon that conforms to a preset loading policy includes:

Sort the browser plug-in icons in the browser plug-in icon set to be loaded according to the loading count value of the browser plug-in icon;

In this step, after each startup of the browser, the loaded browser plug-in icons are counted, and the browser icons set to be displayed are sorted according to the count value, which can reflect the user's demand for browser plug-ins.

Calculate the aggregate length of the top N browser plug-in icons in the sorting, so that the calculated aggregate length is not greater than the obtained plug-in container length, and use the top N browser plug-in icons in the sorting as the load conforming to the preset Policy browser plugin icon.

Preferably, among the displayed browser plug-in icons, the user can perform hiding processing on the displayed browser plug-in icons according to actual needs. Thus, as an optional embodiment, the method further includes:

Step 103: Receive the hiding instruction output by the browser plug-in icon in the plug-in container, hide the browser plug-in icon outputting the hidden instruction, and adjust the position of the browser plug-in icon in the plug-in container.

In this step, if the user needs to hide one or more browser plug-in icons in the browser address bar, after selecting the browser plug-in icon to be hidden, a pop-up drop-down menu can be triggered, or a drop-down menu can be popped up by right-clicking, And select Hide from the pop-up drop-down menu, you can hide the browser plug-in icon from the current location.

Specifically, the user right-clicks on the extension submenu under the menu bar of the displayed plugin container, and can choose to hide the control (button), thereby triggering the dynamically added sub-element, that is, the browser plugin icon to be hidden BrowserActionView class The property is changed from visible to false, and then the parent View of the plug-in class, that is, the browser address bar, is notified to re-layout the browser plug-in icon. That is to say, receiving the hidden instruction output by the browser plug-in icon in the plug-in container, the hidden browser plug-in icon outputting the hidden instruction includes:

It is detected that the user clicks the hide button, and the browser sends the extensionSettingsEnable message to the HANDLER from JS to pass the List parameter;

In this step, the List parameter is ListValue*args, which is a list of strings, including two items, the first item is the ID of the browser plug-in icon, the second item is the state corresponding to the ID, and the state is represented by a string. Represents, among them, the string is "true", which means that the browser plug-in is enabled, that is, it is decided to enable (EnableExtension), and the string is "false", which means that the browser plug-in is disabled or hidden, that is, it is decided to disable or hide (DisableExtension).

In this embodiment of the present invention, the string in the List parameter is "false".

The ExtensionSerivce class in the browser receives the List parameter and sends a notification to the plug-in container (BrowserActionsContainer), and the notification contains the received List parameter;

The BrowserActionRemoved function or BrowserActionAdded function of the plug-in container hides the corresponding browser plug-in icon according to the "false" string in the received List parameter.

In this step, the BrowserActionRemoved function or the BrowserActionAdded function is used to dynamically add or hide (enable or disable) the selected browser plug-in. Finally call the address bar's re-layout to rearrange the relative position of the address bar and its child elements (plug-in containers, browser built-in functions).

As an optional embodiment, adjusting the position of the browser plug-in icon in the plug-in container includes:

Move the browser plug-in icons located to the left of the hidden browser plug-in icons to the right in sequence. In this way, after the position of the corresponding browser plug-in icon in the browser display interface is an empty area, the dynamic adjustment of the browser plug-in icon can be realized. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the layout of the plug-in container traverses the child elements, and the layout is not arranged for the disabled or hidden extension. For example, when a plugin is hidden from the currently displayed plugins, the layout of the remaining plugins is as follows:

The maximum free space of the plug-in container = the total length of the address bar - the length of the browser's built-in function - std::max (the URL length of the address bar, 200). The X value of the starting point of the plug-in container is the X value of the first built-in function of the browser - the total length of the plug-in container.

As another optional embodiment, after hiding the browser plug-in icon and moving the browser plug-in icon on the left side of the hidden browser plug-in icon to the right in sequence, the method may further include:

The browser plug-in icons that are centrally sorted after the hidden browser plug-in icons are read, and loaded into the leftmost position in the plug-in container.

In this embodiment of the present invention, as an optional embodiment, in order to facilitate the user to uniformly manage and set browser plug-in icons, each browser plug-in icon has the same size. Of course, in practical applications, different browser plug-in icons may also be set to have different sizes.

Further, in the case where the browser plug-in contains update information, in this embodiment of the present invention, the update information of the browser plug-in may also be displayed in the browser address bar to meet the user's personalized business needs and experience. For example, for an ad blocking plug-in, since the ads blocked by the ad blocking plug-in increase with time after it is activated, the number of advertisements blocked by the ad blocking plug-in may be dynamically displayed on the displayed icon of the ad blocking plug-in. The method further includes:

The browser acquires the dynamic update information of the browser plug-in corresponding to the displayed browser plug-in icon, and loads the acquired dynamic update information on the corresponding browser plug-in icon.

In this step, taking the ad blocking plug-in as an example, the dynamic update information can be the number of advertisements blocked by the ad blocking plug-in, or the version upgrade information of the ad blocking plug-in.

As another optional embodiment, the method may further include:

Read the update information corresponding to the browser plug-in icon displayed in the plug-in container of the browser address bar;

The browser plug-in icon corresponding to the browser plug-in icon set to be loaded on the management page is updated according to the read update information.

In this step, the management page uniformly manages the browser plug-in icons corresponding to all web pages through the browser plug-in icon set to be loaded. For example, in the browser plug-in icon set to be loaded, the browser plug-in container displayed in the browser address bar The browser plug-in icons are set to be displayed, and other browser plug-in icons are set to be hidden, and the numbers in the browser plug-in icons are updated in real time. In this way, through the management page, the user can select the icon of the browser plug-in that needs to be displayed to meet the user's personalized business needs. In practical applications, the information of the extension plug-in may also be obtained from the configuration file saved on the browser side, and the information of the corresponding extension plug-in may be updated in real time or regularly.

As an optional embodiment, the browser plug-in icon further includes a browser plug-in name.

As an optional embodiment, the browser generates a (WEB) management page by creating a Chrome built-in domain name (chrome://myextensions/).

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a second structure of a browser display interface according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 3, the browser display interface is a Youku ( www.youku.com) web page, wherein, in the (browser) address bar corresponding to the Youku web page, there are displayed a star icon, a lightning icon, a two-dimensional code icon, Built-in advertisement filtering digital icons and plug-in application (App) digital icons, among which,

The star icon, thunderbolt icon, QR code icon, and built-in advertisement filtering digital icon are the icons in the built-in function of the browser, and the plug-in application icon is the icon in the plug-in container. That is to say, the browser address bar window is used as the parent window, and the window corresponding to the star icon, thunderbolt icon, QR code icon, built-in advertisement filtering digital icon, and plug-in application digital icon is used as the child window, and is drawn on the parent window. browser address bar. The star icon is the favorite icon, the thunderbolt icon is the mode switch button icon, the QR code icon is the mobile device QR code address recognition icon, the built-in advertisement filter number icon is the browser's built-in advertisement filter, and the number 2 represents the browser's built-in program filter The number of advertisements is 2, the plug-in application icon can be set as a red background APP to distinguish it from the built-in function of the browser, and the number 10 means that the number of filtered advertisements is 10. Among them, the numbers in the built-in advertisement filtering digital icon and the plug-in application icon can be updated in real time according to the number of filtered advertisements.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of an operation function menu that pops up after selecting a plug-in application icon and clicking the right button according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4 , the right-click operation function menu of the ad filtering plug-in setting corresponding to the plug-in application icon includes: Adblock Plus control, option control, deactivation control, delete control, hide button control, management control and review pop-up content control. For example, if the user clicks the disable control, the operation of the ad filtering plug-in can be stopped to save memory resources. For another example, if the user clicks the hide button control, the currently displayed ad filtering plug-in can be hidden and trigger the dynamic adjustment of the plug-in container. The browser plug-in icon currently displayed in .

In the embodiment of the present invention, since the lengths of the plug-in containers mapped to different webpage pages are different, when switching between webpage pages, the browser plug-in icon displayed in the browser address bar of the browser display interface can be dynamically adjusted. The method further include:

Step 104 , monitoring the page switching, and loading a browser plug-in icon in the plug-in container corresponding to the switched webpage according to the length of the plug-in container mapped by the switched webpage.

In this embodiment of the present invention, each web page needs to independently display the data status of the browser plug-in, for example, a special ICON of the browser plug-in (such as weather forecast), related text or data (such as the number of ad blocks).

As an optional embodiment, this step specifically includes:

Create a corresponding data structure for each web page in the icon set of the browser plug-in to be loaded, and store the browser plug-in update information in the created data structure;

In this step, a corresponding data structure is created on the corresponding web page, that is, WebContents. As an optional embodiment, when the web page is opened, a data structure corresponding to the web page is created at the same time. Creating a data structure can be achieved by creating a data structure statement corresponding to the class of the web page, for example, a C++ class code written to implement the function and inheriting the content::WebContentsUserData template class. Finally, add the created data structure statement (such as AdfilterTabHelper::CreateForWebContents(web_contents);) to the BrowserTabContents::AttachTabHelpers browser page initialization static process. In this way, each time a browser page is created, a plug-in management class (such as AdfilterTabHelper) is automatically created.

As an optional embodiment, in the class related to Tab, the data state of the browser plug-in itself, that is, the update information, is saved.

The browser detects that the system TabStripModel::ActivateTabAt function is called, and sends a message notification of ActiveTabChanged to the browser address bar;

In this step, when the browser tab (web page) is switched, the system TabStripModel::ActivateTabAt function will be called, and then a message notification of ActiveTabChanged will be sent out.

The browser address bar receives the ActiveTabChanged message notification, calls the Update function of the plug-in container, and traverses the data structure corresponding to each web page in the icon set of the browser plug-in to be loaded;

In this step, since the plug-in container is a child element of the browser address bar view, after the browser address bar receives the ActiveTabChanged message notification, it calls the Update function of the plug-in container, traverses each sub-element to update, and completes the follow-up tag Toggle to update the browser plug-in icon.

The data structure corresponding to the switched web page is acquired, the stored browser plug-in update information is read, and a browser plug-in icon is generated and loaded into the plug-in container according to the read browser plug-in update information.

In this step, data related to the icon of the personalized browser plug-in is obtained. That is, after obtaining the notification that needs to be updated (the call of the Update function), the corresponding data structure (such as the AdfilterTabHelper class) can be extracted through the current page (switched web page). The relevant code is:
