METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING WEB BROWSER LAUNCH PAGES

摘要

A method for generating a web browser launch page is performed at a computer. The computer receives a user input to start a web browser application. In response to the user input, the computer identifies a set of favorite website addresses defined by the user and a set of website addresses visited by the user during a predefined time period and determines, among them, a set of favorite website addresses visited by the user during the predefined time period. For each favorite website address, the computer determines a timestamp of a most recent visit by the user, a number of visits by the user during the predefined time period, and a current score of the favorite website address and generates a new score for the favorite website address. Finally, the computer displays the set of favorite website addresses in a first window in an order consistent with their scores.
