Abstract: Techniques and solutions are described for content synchronization across devices. A web page currently being viewed at a first device associated with a user profile of a user can be identified. Browsing information for the page (such as URL, scrolling location, and a DOM element) may be stored in the profile. The DOM element may be associated with page content displayed during a browsing session in a viewport while the web page is at the current scrolling location. The browsing information may be updated dynamically, upon detecting a change in the current scrolling location of the page at the first device. A request for displaying the web page at a second device associated with the user profile may be received. The browsing information for the web page may be provided to the second device, so that the web page with the current scrolling location is displayed at the second device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described that relate to processing content, such as web pages, to be rendered and displayed on client computing devices. In one embodiment, a content parsing system may retrieve a content item on behalf of a client computing device, and parse markup language within the content item to generate a binary representation of objects within the content item. The content parsing system may then serialize the binary representation, and transmit the binary representation to the client computing device. The client computing device can then utilize the binary representation to output the content item, without parsing at least a portion of the content item.

Abstract: A system and process are disclosed for providing users with page previews during page loading events, such that the delay experienced before the display of page content is reduced. The previews may include screenshots of the pages or of portions thereof, and may be generated periodically and cached by the system for delivery to user devices. The process of generating and delivering the previews via the Internet or some other network may be implemented partly or wholly within an intermediary system that sits logically between the user devices and content servers. The process may be used with existing browsers without the need for any browser modifications, or may be used with a “preview-aware” browser that includes special program code for providing page previews.

Abstract: Features are disclosed for synchronizing information across various devices, and using the synchronized information during subsequent content interactions. Devices may receive and/or store information, such as cookies or other account-level information, in connection with content interactions, such as content page retrieval, application execution, and the like. Information that is not device-specific can be synchronized across multiple devices, thus providing access to the information on any of the devices regardless of which device originally received or stored the information.

Abstract: Features are disclosed for enabling users to select portions of content pages, including predefined portions and arbitrarily defined portions, for which to receive update notifications or which to share with other users. Notifications regarding updates to the selected portions may be displayed to the user in a notification overlay. The notification overlay may be at least partially transparent so as to allow users to see content on a content page displayed beneath the overlay. The notification overlay may be displayed persistently as the user navigates or otherwise transitions from page to page. Users may also access shared, predefined, and context-sensitive notification overlays created by other users, entities, or automated processes.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of defining a set of annotation elements to map a concept to electronic data as input data; generating a mapping rule, according to the set of annotation elements defined and a sample of the input data; mapping the concept to the input data by applying the mapping rule to the input data; and generating a semantic instance of the input data based upon the mapping of the concept to the input data. The set of annotation elements to map the concept to the input data are a selected ontology corresponding to the input data, a selected ontology concept from the selected ontology, a mapping of a word or word phrase in the sample input data to the selected ontology concept from the selected ontology, and a pattern of the mapped word or word phrase relative to a structure of the sample input data.
