  • Patent number: 11316838
    Abstract: A method for transmitting router security information, applied in a router, includes: transmitting, to a terminal requesting to acquire router security information, a generated link of a local area network for transmitting the router security information; receiving an access request initiated by the terminal through a network address to which the link of the local area network is pointed; and, returning, through the local area network, a response to the access request to the terminal, the response containing encrypted router security information. The encrypted router security information can therefore be transmitted by a local network established for transmitting security information by a router. In this security information transmission mode, the possibility of remotely acquiring router security information is eliminated. Moreover, the situation where the router security information is transmitted on the cloud is also avoided, and the security of privacy information of terminal devices is improved.

  • Publication number: 20140215314
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for rearranging web pages. A mobile phone browser receives a web address and determines if a web page corresponding to the web address matches selection rules. If no, the mobile phone browser loads the web page and displays the content. If yes, the mobile phone browser retrieves HTML source code of the web page. Based on a content extraction rule, the mobile phone browser extracts elements containing actual content from the HTML source code of the web page, and extracts actual content from these elements. Next, the mobile phone browser inserts the actual content into a predefined web page template to generate a new web page. The mobile phone browser loads the new web page and displays the content of the new web page. The method adapts to screen resolutions of mobile devices, preserves information and interaction of original web pages to the greatest extent, improves the speed for loading web page, and saves network bandwidth.

  • Publication number: 20140006918
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for web page rearrangement, suitable for mobile phone Internet. A mobile phone browser client obtains a web page address and queries a cache server to determine whether a previously rearranged version of the page has been stored under the web address. If no previously rearranged version of the page has been stored, the mobile phone browser client obtains the non-rearranged version of the web page and uses a preset web page rearrangement strategy to produce a rearranged version of the non-rearranged version of the web page corresponding to the web page address. Said rearranged page corresponding to the web page address is uploaded and saved to the cache server.

  • Publication number: 20090019115
    Abstract: Architecture comprising an application programming interface (API) for representing and accessing various configuration data related to an enterprise messaging communications system. The API includes three classes for accessing stored configuration data related to enterprise recipients that can receive messages (e.g., e-mail), one or more servers that facilitate messaging communications of the enterprise, and a messaging connector for proper flow of message internal and external to the enterprise. By encapsulating these sets of configuration data into distinct classes, business logic that interprets these classes can be centralized thereby avoiding duplicate and incompatible logic.
