  • Patent number: 11556611
    Abstract: A web browser plugin or other software can be used to integrate visualization of analytical and/or debugging information related to a web page that is being viewed. Particular elements on the web page that are instrumented for tracking can be visually augmented, allowing a developer to see where and how certain aspects of web page functionality are being tracked and/or implemented. Certain information relating to the web page may be surfaced via a graphical area that is displayed concurrently with the web page, e.g., within the web browser that is being used to view the web page. The graphical area can also include selectable elements that can be used to launch additional queries into back-end services related to the web page. The present techniques allow for not only better and more convenient visualization of web page related data, but can speed up development time, reducing both computing and developer resources.

  • Patent number: 9268873
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method are disclosed to provide an enhanced search index for searchable content by limited capability devices, such as mobile phones. A URL analyzer determines clusters of mobile web page URLs and corresponding tokens. A landing page identifier evaluates cluster URLs and the tokens to identify landing page URLs for mobile web pages likely to be relevant to an associated search term. A mapper associates the landing page URLs with related domain hosts that include conventional web pages generally not accessible to limited capability devices. A category tagger associates the landing page URLs with categories of conventional web pages that share a content topic. The landing page URLs, and corresponding tokens, domain host information, and categories are added to the search index. A submitted search term is evaluated relative to the tokens, domain host information, and categories to determine relevant mobile web landing pages as search results.
