  • Web content navigation using tab switching
    Patent number: 9747004
    Abstract: A Web application maintains a record of Web content that has been displayed by the Web application. The user can navigate to different previously displayed Web content by providing various user inputs, such as a swipe across a touchscreen. The Web application detects when a user input has a threshold likelihood of being a navigation input, such as when the user swipes at least a threshold amount across a touchscreen. When a user input has a threshold likelihood of being a navigation input, the Web application begins rendering in an empty tab the Web content that would be navigated to if the user input were a navigation input, the empty tab becoming a prerender tab. If the user continues and the user input results in a navigation input navigating to the Web content rendered in the prerender tab, then the Web application switches to displaying the prerender tab.
