  • Patent number: 6961752
    Abstract: A method and implementing computer system are provided in which a user is enabled to create a virtual history file by selecting a favorites routing sequence (FRS) or preferred sequence of favorite web sites to be visited during a browser session. During a browser session, the user is enabled to change from one site to the next sequential site on the list using only a single point-and-click operation or keystroke combination within the user's browser program. The user is further enabled to selectively modify the FRS to include new individual or groups of sites and/or delete existing individual or groups of sites from the listing, and also to change the particular order of sites to be visited on the FRS. Further, existing individual or groups of virtual history files may also be embedded into other virtual history files.

  • Publication number: 20030128235
    Abstract: Systems and methods for associating graphical images and events are implemented. These include, respectively, circuitry and steps for providing graphical image information including control information and rendering information in which the control information is for controlling a display of said rendering information. The control information includes an image identifier. An event identifier value is received in response to a client initiated action. The rendering information is displayed in response to said event identifier value matching a value of said image identifier in said control information. An alternative system and method include, respectively, circuitry and steps for receiving a value for an event parameter associated with a graphical image file. In response to receiving an event corresponding to said event parameter, rendering information for a graphical image in said graphical image file corresponding to the value of said event parameter is displayed.

  • Patent number: 5961591
    Abstract: A downloading facility for downloading data while rejection of its use may be overridden is provided. In a preferred embodiment, the downloading facility receives a request to retrieve and use an identified body of data. In response, the facility initiates the retrieval of the identified body of data. At a time during its retrieval, use of the identified body of data is automatically rejected. In response to this rejection, the facility provides a user interface for authorizing the use of the identified body of data. During the provision of this user interface, retrieval of the identified body of data proceeds. When the provided user interface is used to authorize the use of the identified body of data, the facility uses the retrieved identified body of data in accordance with the request.
