Abstract
A request may be obtained to electronically access a first network site. A selection indicator associated with selection of a dialog display for bibliography collection may be displayed, and an indication of a device user selection of the selection indicator may be received. A recordation of accessible entities that a user device accesses may be initiated, the accessible entities including one or more second network sites, in response to receiving the indication of the selection of the selection indicator. Representations of the recorded accessible entities may be displayed, and data representing at least a portion of the recorded accessible entity accesses may be transmitted to a device that is associated with the first network site.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a device that includes at least one processor, the device including a bibliography collection engine comprising instructions tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium for execution by the at least one processor, the bibliography collection engine including:
- a site access request component configured to obtain an indication of a request to electronically access a first network site;
- a collection start indicator component configured to initiate a display of a selection indicator associated with selection of a dialog display for bibliography collection;
- a start indicator receiving component configured to receive an indication of a device user selection of the selection indicator;
- a recordation initiation component configured to initiate a recordation of accessible entities that a user device accesses, the accessible entities including one or more second network sites, in response to receiving the indication of the selection of the selection indicator;
- a recorded entity display component configured to initiate a display of representations of the recorded accessible entities;
- and
- a recorded entity transmission component configured to initiate a transmission of data representing at least a portion of the recorded accessible entity accesses to a device that is associated with the first network site.
The system 1, further comprising:
- a range adjustment request acquisition component configured to receive an indication from the device user of a request to adjust a range of the recorded accessible entity accesses;
- and
- a range adjustment action component configured to initiate an adjustment of the range of the recorded accessible entity accesses, in response to the request to adjust the range of the recorded accessible entity accesses, wherein:
- the transmission of data representing at least a portion of the recorded accessible entity accesses includes a transmission of the data, excluding at least recorded accessible entity accesses that are external to the adjusted range.
A method comprising:
- obtaining an indication of a request to electronically access a first network site;
- initiating, via a device processor, a display of a selection indicator associated with selection of a dialog display for bibliography collection;
- receiving an indication of a device user selection of the selection indicator;
- initiating a recordation of accessible entities that a user device accesses, the accessible entities including one or more second network sites, in response to receiving the indication of the selection of the selection indicator;
- initiating a display of representations of the recorded accessible entities;
- and
- initiating a transmission of data representing at least a portion of the recorded accessible entity accesses to a device that is associated with the first network site.
A computer program product tangibly embodied on a computer-readable storage medium and comprising executable code that causes at least one data processing apparatus to:
- receive a plurality of transmissions of data representing at least a portion of recorded accessible entity accesses of respective associated user devices, the recorded accessible entity accesses at least associated with automated recording of browser accesses that are associated with one or more device user visits to a first network site, and represented as public bibliographies posted by respective users of the first network site;
- and
- aggregate the transmitted data representing the at least a portion of recorded accessible entity accesses;
- and
- associate a link between a plurality of user posts on the first network site and respective sets of the recorded accessible entity accesses that are associated with the respective user posts on the first network site.
