Patent number: 8812500Abstract: A system facilitates the display of thumbnail images containing images of websites related to a website currently being viewed by a user. The system may include several different components to provide the thumbnail images to the user, such as a graphical user interface, an input interface, and a processor. The graphical user interface may display a website for viewing by a user and the input interface may receive an input representative of a request for a related website. The processor may transmit the request for the related website to a search engine, and, in response, the processor may obtain a search result representative of the related website. Moreover, the search result may include several components, such as a related website image representative of the related website and a uniform resource locator (“URL”) representative of a location of the related website.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2010Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Paul Fontes, Othar Hansson, Peter Jin Hong, Benjamin N.
