  • Patent number: 9639253
    Abstract: An apparatus presents a plurality of information items to a user. Each information item corresponds to at least on piece of information that is marked by at least one tag in a single source script. The apparatus enables a user to select presented information items. The apparatus further enables a use of a plurality of pieces of information from the source script marked by tags, which correspond to information items selected by a user, for presentation in a single graphical representation to the user. Another apparatus automatically obtains a plurality of pieces of information marked by a plurality of tags included in a single source script that is available at a further apparatus, and presents the plurality of pieces of information in a single graphical representation to a user. The information may represent a plurality of locations, times or an area. The graphical representation may comprise a map or a timeline. The source script may be that of a Web page.
