METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING PAGE VISIBILITY INFORMATION

摘要

A method and system for providing page visibility information are provided herein. Aspects of this disclosure provide an interface by which a browser may make the visibility state of a particular page available to the page itself. The browser may track the visibility state of the page as it changes and store the state in a variable associated with the page. Code executing within the page may query this variable to determine the visibility state and take appropriate action. The browser may provide an application programming interface (API) to allow the page to request the visibility state.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for determining the visibility status of web content, the method comprising:
accessing the web content using a processor, the web content comprising executable instructions for performing at least one function; loading the web content in a browser; monitoring one or more interface features of the browser to determine changes as presented on a display device in a visibility state of the web content currently present within a window of the browser, the visibility state comprising one or more values that indicate whether the web content is visible to a user, wherein determining the changes as presented on the display device comprises determining when the window is partially obscured by a second window; and providing the visibility state of the web content to the web content such that the executable instructions take into account the visibility state during execution.
