Webpage pre-reading method, apparatus and smart terminal device

A webpage pre-reading method, comprising:

• acquiring information of each user accessing multiple webpages within one period of time;
• determining click paths through each of which another page is clicked and entered from each page in the multiple webpages and the number of clicks thereof, and analyzing and determining a path click-through rate of each click path and entropy of path click-through rates of multiple click paths through which multiple different pages are clicked and entered from each page;
• determining a confidence value of each click path according to the number of clicks of the click path and the entropy of path click-through rates;
• generating a pre-reading list of the multiple click paths based on the confidence values;
• and
• querying for a click path of a currently browsed webpage from the pre-reading list to pre-read data of a corresponding target webpage to be browsed.

A webpage pre-reading apparatus, comprising:

• a first acquisition module configured to acquire information of one or more users accessing multiple webpages within a first period of time;
• a first processing module configured to determine click paths through each of which a second webpage is clicked and entered from a first webpage in the multiple webpages and the number of clicks thereof;
• a first determination module configured to determine a first confidence value for each click path;
• a first generation module configured to generate a pre-reading list of the click paths based on the first confidence values;
• and
• a first pre-reading module configured to query for a click path of a currently browsed webpage from the pre-reading list to pre-read data of a corresponding target webpage to be browsed.
