Abstract: When a browsing computer navigates to a network document, such as a web page, the corresponding server also downloads computer readable formatting information necessary for the operating system of the browsing computer to render correctly any characters within the network document even if the fonts associated with those characters do not exist on the browsing computer prior to encountering the network document. An exposure module is also downloaded to the browsing computer. The exposure module is loaded onto the browsing computer, which in turn either permanently installs or temporarily exposes the operating system of the browsing computer to the computer readable font formatting information associated with the network document. As a result, the operating system of the browsing computer is able to display or otherwise process the network document correctly and consistently regardless of the computer readable fonts installed on the browsing computer.

Abstract: Representative embodiments disclose mechanisms to increase readability and/or engagement of search results on a mobile device while minimizing the bandwidth consumed by transferring search results from the search system to the mobile device.

Abstract: A cognitive Web browser detects that a user is viewing a Web page. The system captures contextual data that identifies the user, the Web page, temporal information, and the user's computer, location, and browser. Using artificially intelligent cognitive analytics, the system correlates the contextual data with patterns inferred from the user's past browsing habits to predict which page the user may want to view next and the paths to each of those destination. The system ranks each page on each path by its probability of being selected and displays the ranked pages as a dynamic hyperlinked list. The user may directly navigate to any of displayed pages with a single selection from the list. The contextual information, the dynamic list, and the user's selection are forwarded to a machine-learning application that uses the forwarded information to train the system to more accurately predict the user's future navigational preferences.
