Claims21
A processor-implemented method for creating user-generated preview displays for comparison, comprising:
- providing a preview generation browser to a user,
- wherein the preview generation browser is a modified web browser;
- providing navigation controls to the user, said navigation controls allowing the user to specify an initial content source,
- wherein the specified initial content source is a web page;
- rendering the initial content source within the preview generation browser;
- providing content manipulation tools to the user, said manipulation tools allowing the user to manipulate the appearance and characteristics of the rendered initial content source,
- wherein the content manipulation controls include frame controls, said frame controls allowing the user to frame the desired display area of the rendered initial content source;
- providing a save preview control to the user, said save preview control allowing the user to save the manipulated rendered initial content source as a preview display,
- wherein the manipulated rendered initial content is saved as a bitmap,
- wherein the bitmap is a bitmap of the framed desired display area,
- wherein the bitmap is associated with a link to the specified initial content source;
- and
- storing the preview display in a preview display database.
