Abstract

A computer-based system provides a user interface for displaying hyperlinked content (such as web content) and for enabling users to navigate the hyperlinks contained within such content. One benefit of various embodiments of the present invention is that they enable primary hyperlinked content to be rendered, and for associated content (i.e., content located at the destinations of hyperlinks within the primary content) to be rendered without replacing, overwriting, or otherwise obscuring the rendering of the primary content. As a result, the rendering of the primary content remains fully visible after the associated content is rendered and while the rendering of the associated content is visible. For example, the associated content may be rendered in an existing display area that does not overlap with the display area containing the rendering of the primary content.

Dependent claims

A method for use with primary content, wherein the primary content includes a first term, wherein the first term is associated with a first plurality of associated contents, wherein the first plurality of associated contents includes first associated content and second associated content, the method comprising:

(1) rendering at least part of the primary content to create a rendering of the at least part of the primary content, including rendering the first term to create a rendering of the first term;
(2) rendering the first associated content to create a rendering of the first associated content in a first existing display area wherein the rendering of the at least part of the primary content remains fully visible after the first associated content is rendered;
and
(3) rendering the second associated content to create a rendering of the second associated content in a second existing display area, wherein the rendering of the at least part of the primary content remains fully visible after the first associated content is rendered.

A computer-readable medium comprising computer-program instructions tangibly stored on the computer-readable medium, wherein the computer program instructions are executable by at least one computer processor to perform a method for use with primary content, wherein the primary content includes a first term, wherein the first term is associated with a first plurality of associated contents, wherein the first plurality of associated contents includes first associated content and second associated content, the method comprising:

(1) rendering at least part of the primary content to create a rendering of the at least part of the primary content, including rendering the first term to create a rendering of the first term;
(2) rendering the first associated content to create a rendering of the first associated content in a first existing display area wherein the rendering of the at least part of the primary content remains fully visible after the first associated content is rendered;
and
(3) rendering the second associated content to create a rendering of the second associated content in a second existing display area, wherein the rendering of the at least part of the primary content remains fully visible after the first associated content is rendered.
