Abstract

In one example, a user device may implement a browser that identifies and presents dominant content in a bookmarked website or a frequently visited website. The user device may store a page history profile describing interactions with a featured hub of content. The user device may execute a browser to identify a historical focus describing a historical hub element of the featured hub. The user device may determine a current hub element acting as a current focus specific for a user based on the historical focus. The user device may present an element representation of the current hub element.

Claims (48)

1. A user device, comprising:

memory configured to store a page history profile describing interactions with a featured hub of content, the featured hub of content providing access to content from a plurality of webpages and one or more spoke path relations between the plurality of webpages and a plurality of links;

a processing core having at least one processor configured to:

identify the featured hub of content in a browser;

identify with the browser a historical focus describing a historical hub element of the featured hub;

determine a current hub element acting as a current focus specific for a user based on the historical focus; and

a display screen configured to;

present a featured link to the featured hub in a new tab page; and

present an element representation of the current hub element.

2. The user device of claim 1 , wherein the memory is further configured to track a device-page history profile describing interactions between multiple users on the user device and the featured hub.

3. The user device of claim 1 , wherein the memory is further configured to maintain a user-page history profile describing interactions between the user and the featured hub.

4. The user device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a communication interface configured to receive a user-page history profile describing interactions between the user and the featured hub from a network account.

5. The user device of claim 1 , wherein the display screen is further configured to present the featured link for the featured hub in a bookmark listing.

6. The user device of claim 1 , wherein the processing core is further configured to identify at least one of a bookmarked website and a frequently visited website as the featured hub.

7. The user device of claim 1 , wherein the memory is further configured to maintain a spoke path relation between the featured hub and a webpage connected to the featured hub.

8. The user device of claim 1 , wherein the processing core is further configured to identify a link as the historical focus based on a spoke path relation between the featured hub and the link.

9. The user device of claim 1 , wherein the processing core is further configured to identify a category type for the historical focus.

10. The user device of claim 1 , wherein the memory is further configured to associate a category type tag with the featured hub describing a category type for the historical focus.

11. The user device of claim 1 , wherein the processing core is further configured to select the current focus for the featured hub based on a category type for the historical focus.

12. The user device of claim 1 , wherein the processing core is further configured to generate a content preview of the current hub element.

13. The user device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a user input device configured to receive a user indication that the current hub element is the current focus.

14. The user device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a user input device configured to register a highlight of a text element as indicating the historical focus.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer code executable by a processor, comprising:

code for identifying a featured hub of content in a browser, the featured hub of content providing access to content from a plurality of webpages and one or more spoke path relations between the plurality of webpages and a plurality of links;

code for examining at the browser a page history profile describing interactions with the featured hub;

code for identifying with the browser a historical focus describing a historical hub element of the featured hub;

code for determining a current hub element acting as a current focus specific for a user of the computing device based on the historical focus;

code for presenting a featured link to the featured hub in a new tab page; and

code for presenting an element representation of the current hub element.

16. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , further comprising:

code for receiving a user-page history profile describing interactions between the user and the featured hub from a network account.

17. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , further comprising:

code for maintaining a spoke path relation between the featured hub and a webpage connected to the featured hub.

18. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , further comprising:

code for identifying a link as the historical focus based on a spoke path relation between the featured hub and the link.

19. A machine-implemented method, comprising:

identifying a bookmarked website in a browser implemented by a user device, the bookmarked website corresponding to a featured hub of content providing access to content from a plurality of webpages and one or more spoke path relations between the plurality of webpages and a plurality of links;

examining at the browser a page history profile describing interactions with the bookmarked website;

identifying with the browser a historical focus describing a historical site element of the bookmarked website;

determining a current site element acting as a current focus specific for a user of the user device based on the historical focus;

presenting a featured link for the bookmarked web site in a bookmark listing; and

presenting an element representation of the current site element.

20. The method of claim 19 , further comprising:

maintaining a spoke path relation between the bookmarked website and a webpage connected to the bookmarked website; and

identifying a link as the historical focus based on the spoke path relation between the bookmarked website and the link.
