Benefits of technology

[0017] The present invention thus provides enhanced methods for the identification, recall and organization of search paths and results.
[0051] According to the present invention, this presented history need not encompass a literal record of the path taken by the user, but may, in fact, include information derived from a variety of sources. First, the information list may be enhanced to include advertisements or marketing information. This information is preferably derived either from a user profile, and predicted to be relevant to the user based thereon, or from the search context, and thus related to the information included within the history. Therefore, it is apparent that a presented history bar, including history objects and supplemental commercial objects, may be a source of commercial subsidy. By linking the commercial subsidy with a useful feature, consumer acceptance thereof may be enhanced.

Problems solved by technology

A particular problem confronting a user is an organization of information in a usage session or group of sessions.

example 1

[0065] A first embodiment of the invention provides a system which operates in conjunction with a modern Web-enabled computer system with a standard browser installed. For example, a so-called WinTel (Intel Pentium III Processor, executing Microsoft Windows 9X or NT / 2000 software) standard personal computer and either Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer, both of which are JavaScript and Java enabled, and frames-capable. Alternately, an Internet appliance platform (e.g., designed specifically for Internet usage rather than general purpose home or office tasks) may be employed. The system communicates with a remote server which is provided as discussed herein.

[0066] A particular aspect of this embodiment of the invention is that enhanced features are provided for a standard browser system by means that do not require use of non-standard browsers, a special installation procedure or a computer reboot. Thus, the system provides broad compatibility, platform independence, ...

example 2

[0075] The present invention provides a set of Mini Agent™ functions that may be associated with objects, for example representing web pages or web sites. These are described with respect to FIG. 2.

[0076] A first Mini Agent™ function, providing a summarize page function, is accessed by selecting a hyperlink icon 11 associated with a history object representing a Web page. The icon 11, for example, shows a script lower case serif “i”, representing “information”. The hyperlink, in turn, includes an identification, e.g., URL, of the Web page, which is passed to a summarizer server. The summarizer server receives the URL, and accesses a database, to determine whether an existing summary exists for the URL. If so, this is returned to the user. If not, the summarizer accesses the URL, and performs a semantic (or other content-dependent) analysis of the corresponding Web page, and optionally objects incorporated into the Web page. As a result of the semantic or other content-dependent ana...

Abstract

A system and method for tracking a user history, for presentation thereof within a browser display. An executable software construct operates at a client machine to trap object references, which are then transmitted to a server. The server analyzes the object references and organizes them into a display structure. The display structure is then displayed within the browser, including hyperlinks to allow the user to select a prior system state to which he seeks to return. Preferably, the software construct also manages objects associated with the object reference, for example cookies associated with URLs, in order to assure full definition of the desired state. The display structure may also be provided to browsers distinct from the originating browser.
