Abstract
In one exemplary embodiment, a computer-implemented method can include the step of obtaining a first web page with a server. An element of the first web page that has been indicated by a first user is determined. A first profile element of the first user that is related to the element is obtained. A second profile element of a second user that is related to the element is also Obtained. A graphical representation of the first element and the second element is visually associated (e.g. with HTML code) with the element of the first web page in another element that overlays the element indicated by the first user.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining a first web page with a server;
- determining an element of the first web page that has been indicated by a first user;
- obtaining first profile element of the first user that is related to the element;
- obtaining a second profile element of a second user that is related to the element;
- and
- visually associating a graphical representation of the first element and the second element with the element of the first web page in another element that overlays the element indicated by the first user.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining a first web page with an annotating proxy server wherein the first web page is requested using the annotating proxy server by a user's end device;
- parsing the first web page into web page elements;
- configuring the web page such that a user can utilize an input device to indicate a web page element;
- obtaining a profile information about the user, wherein the profile information comprises at least one of a user's personal information, social networking information, web browsing history with the annotating proxy server information, an annotation of a past viewed web page generated by the annotating proxy server;
- determining a subportion of the profile information relevant to the web page element;
- generating an annotation web page element comprising the web page element and the subportion of the profile information;
- and
- integrating the annotated webpage element into a modified web page provided to the user's end device.
A proxy server system comprising:
- a web page acquisition module of the proxy server configured to obtain a first web page;
- a user information filter of the proxy server configured determine an element of the first web page that has been indicated by a first user, to obtain a first profile element of the first user that is related to the element, and to obtain a second profile element of a second user that is related to the element;
- a graphical representation module of the proxy server configured to create a graphical representation of the first element and the second element;
- and
- an annotated webpage generator of the proxy server configured to visually associate a graphical representation of the first element and the second element with the element of the first web page in another element that overlays the element indicated by the first user.
