US 11,308,935 B2 · Method for reading webpage information by speech, browser client, and server

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method, a browser client, and a server for reading web page information by speech. The browser client is installed with a text to speech (TTS) engine. The method includes: sending, by a browser client, a page access request to a server, where the page access request includes a page address and TTS identity information; receiving, by the browser client, response data returned by the server, where the response data includes a TTS standard version number determined by the server according to the TTS identity information, and TTS page data corresponding to the page address; and reading, by the browser client, the TTS page data by speech according to the TTS standard version number by using a TTS engine. In the present disclosure, page information is read by speech by using the TTS engine installed on the browser client. When it is inconvenient for a user to browse a page with eyes, and for users whose eyes have physical problems, the read page information can be listened by using a sense of hearing. Therefore, a convenient hearing-based manner is provided to users to browse a page.

Dependent claims

A method for reading web page information by speech, wherein the method comprises:

loading, by a server, a page corresponding to a page address in a page access request sent from a browser client, wherein the page access request comprises a text to speech (TTS) engine type of the browser client, and a TTS standard version number supported by the browser client;
determining, by the server, a TTS tag set based on the TTS standard version number and a TTS tag policy based on the TTS engine type;
adding, by the server, global reading information to header information of the loaded page according to the determined TTS version set and the determined TTS tag policy;
identifying, by the server from the loaded page, a data block labelled by one of a plurality of text html tags;
tagging the data block with a TTS tag, wherein the TTS tag comprises a starting tag and an ending tag;
adding, by the server, local reading information to the starting tag of the TTS tag, wherein a value of an attribute in the local reading information overwrites a value of the attribute in the global reading information;
and
returning, by the server, the loaded page to the browser client.

5 more elements

A system comprising one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable memories coupled to the one or more processors, the one or more non-transitory computer-readable memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:

loading, by a server, a page corresponding to a page address in a page access request sent from a browser client, wherein the page access request comprises a text to speech (TTS) engine type of the browser client, and a TTS standard version number supported by the browser client;
determining, by the server, a TTS tag set based on the TTS standard version number and a TTS tag policy based on the TTS engine type;
adding, by the server, global reading information to header information of the loaded page according to the determined TTS version set and the determined TTS tag policy;
identifying, by the server from the loaded page, a data block labelled by one of a plurality of text html tags;
tagging the data block with a TTS tag, wherein the TTS tag comprises a starting tag and an ending tag;
adding, by the server, local reading information to the starting tag of the TTS tag, wherein a value of an attribute in the local reading information overwrites a value of the attribute in the global reading information;
and
returning, by the server, the loaded page to the browser client.

5 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

loading, by a server, a page corresponding to a page address in a page access request sent from a browser client, wherein the page access request comprises a text to speech (TTS) engine type of the browser client, and a TTS standard version number supported by the browser client;
determining, by the server, a TTS tag set based on the TTS standard version number and a TTS tag policy based on the TTS engine type;
adding, by the server, global reading information to header information of the loaded page according to the determined TTS version set and the determined TTS tag policy;
identifying, by the server from the loaded page, a data block labelled by one of a plurality of text html tags;
tagging the data block with a TTS tag, wherein the TTS tag comprises a starting tag and an ending tag;
adding, by the server, local reading information to the starting tag of the TTS tag, wherein a value of an attribute in the local reading information overwrites a value of the attribute in the global reading information;
and
returning, by the server, the loaded page to the browser client.
