Abstract
A system and a computer-implemented method of gathering data on at least one website is provided where by placing a tracking overlay on a website, the tracking overlay operates independently from any concurrently active program, appearing concurrently within a user interface, allowing for work with said concurrently active program. The work including capturing data within said tracking overlay, including a plurality of identifying markers of said data from the website; and storing the data, including said plurality of identifying markers within at least one database. The stored data includes classifying the data and images with tags and meta-data.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:
- gathering data on at least one website;
- placing a tracking overlay on the at least one website;
- the tracking overlay operating independently from any concurrently active program, appearing concurrently within a user interface, allowing the user to work with the concurrently active program;
- capturing the data within the tracking overlay, including a plurality of identifying markers of the data from the at least one website;
- and
- storing the data, including the plurality of identifying markers within at least one database.
A computer readable medium containing instructions and embodied on the computer readable medium for controlling a computer, which includes a memory and at least one processor, to perform a method of gathering data on at least one website, the method comprising:
- placing a tracking overlay on at least one website, the tracking overlay operating independently from any concurrently active program, appearing concurrently within a user interface, allowing the user to work with the concurrently active program;
- capturing the data within the tracking overlay, including a plurality of identifying markers of the data from the at least one website;
- and
- storing the data, including the plurality of identifying markers within at least one database.
The computer readable medium of claim 17, wherein the recognized underlying content comprises a plurality of items, the plurality of items further comprising a plurality of images.
A computer implemented system that provides gathering data on at least one website, the system comprising at least one server computer for communicating with at least one client computer, comprising:
- means for placing a tracking overlay on at least one website,
- the tracking overlay operating independently from any concurrently active program, appearing concurrently within a user interface, allowing the user to work with the concurrently active program;
- means for capturing the data within the tracking overlay, including a plurality of identifying markers of the data from the at least one website;
- and
- means for storing the data, including the plurality of identifying markers within at least one database.
