Abstract: Methods and apparatuses that automatically detect availability of a reader mode for article content in a web page addressed by a URL are described. Availability detection may be progressively performed such that cheap operations are performed first to reduce the need to perform more expensive ones. A retrieval status of the web page may be detected to determine when enough content has been retrieved to initiate a detection of the reader mode for the web page. A reader indicator may be presented in a user interface of a browser if the availability of the reader mode is detected. A user of the browser may be noted with an alternative presentation of the article content from the web page in addition to a presentation of the whole web page by the browser. If the reader mode of the web page is not available, no reader indicator may be present in the browser.

Abstract: Editing of blocks of web page content from within an integrated application capable of displaying a web page. An algorithm based on both the element and the element format is applied to identify a qualifying block to which a user's input is directed. The heuristic applied to identify such a block is designed to select enough content that a minimal number of user inputs are required without selecting so much content that the user is unable to retain desirable portions of the web page. Then, to facilitate an easy way of editing the web page content, a visual option is displayed for selection by the user to perform an operation (deleting, copying, etc.) on the block. The visual option can be a button, an image, or a menu option.

Abstract: A computer has a device driver and an operating system that call a consolidated buffer service routine to coordinate the transfer of data between a main memory and an external device. The consolidated buffer service routine includes a memory preparation service routine and a memory checking service routine. The memory preparation service routine coordinates data transfers between the external device and the memory with the operating system and a data cache, and with other data transfers. The memory preparation service routine ensures that the buffer remains assigned to the memory ranges until the memory checking service routine relinquishes the buffer. Before calling the memory preparation service routine, and I/O preparation table is set which defines the addresses and the type of addresses of the buffer, the size of the data to be transferred, the page size of the buffer, and flags defining data flow and type.
