Abstract
A method of navigating an electronic network includes steps of reading a list of at least one resource in an electronic network, displaying at least a portion of the list, receiving a user-initiated selection of a resource from the list, linking to the resource upon receiving the user-initiated selection, removing the resource from the list. An article of manufacture directs a system for navigating an electronic network to perform the above-listed steps.
Claims26
An electronic network navigation method comprising the steps of:
- reading a list of at least one resource in an electronic network;
- displaying at least a portion of the list;
- receiving a user-initiated selection of a resource from the list;
- linking to the resource in response to receiving the user-initiated selection;
- and
- removing the resource from the list in response to receiving the user-initiated selection.
3 more elements
An electronic network navigation apparatus comprising:
- a storage device which stores a list of at least one resource in an electronic network;
- a display device associated with the storage device to display at least a portion of the list;
- at least one input device to receive a user-initiated selection of a resource from the list;
- and
- a modem responsive to the at least one input device to link to the resource in response to receiving the user-initiated selection;
- wherein the storage device removes the resource from the list in response to receiving the user-initiated selection.
3 more elements
An article of manufacture comprising:
- a computer-readable storage medium;
- and computer-readable data stored by the computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable data directing a network access apparatus to read a list of at least one resource in an electronic network, to display at least a portion of the list, to receive a user-initiated selection of a resource from the list, to link to the resource in response to receiving the user-initiated selection, and to remove the resource from the list in response to receiving the user-initiated selection.
An electronic network navigation method comprising the steps of:
- displaying a menu bar for accessing a first menu and a second menu, the first menu providing at least one of a favorites menu and a bookmark menu;
- receiving a first user-initiated selection of the second menu;
- displaying the second menu in response to the first user-initiated selection, the second menu including first human-readable information associated with a first resource of an electronic network and second human-readable information associated with a second resource of the electronic network;
- receiving a user-initiated selection of the first resource from the second menu;
- linking to the first resource and displaying content received from the first resource in response to the user-initiated selection of the first resource from the second menu;
- receiving a second user-initiated selection of the second menu after
- receiving the first user-initiated selection of the second menu and without any intervening user-initiated selection of the second menu;
- and
- displaying the second menu in response to the second user-initiated selection, the second menu including the second human-readable information but absent of the first human-readable information.
6 more elements
An article of manufacture comprising:
- a computer-readable storage medium;
- and
- computer-readable data stored by the computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable data to direct a network access apparatus to:
- display a menu bar for accessing a first menu and a second menu, the first menu providing at least one of a favorites menu and a bookmark menu;
- receive a first user-initiated selection of the second menu;
- display the second menu in response to the first user-initiated selection, the second menu including first human-readable information associated with a first resource of an electronic network and second human-readable information associated with a second resource of the electronic network;
- receive a user-initiated selection of the first resource from the second menu;
- link to the first resource and displaying content received from the first resource in response to the user-initiated selection of the first resource from the second menu;
- receive a second user-initiated selection of the second menu after receiving the first user-initiated selection of the second menu and without any intervening user-initiated selection of the second menu;
- and
- display the second menu in response to the second user-initiated selection, the second menu including the second human-readable information but absent of the first human-readable information.
8 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a network access apparatus;
- and
- a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable data to direct the network access apparatus to:
- display a menu bar for accessing a first menu and a second menu, the first menu providing at least one of a favorites menu and a bookmark menu;
- receive a first user-initiated selection of the second menu;
- display the second menu in response to the first user-initiated selection, the second menu including first human-readable information associated with a first resource of an electronic network and second human-readable information associated with a second resource of the electronic network;
- receive a user-initiated selection of the first resource from the second menu;
- link to the first resource and display content received from the first resource in response to the user-initiated selection of the first resource from the second menu;
- receive a second user-initiated selection of the second menu after receiving the first user-initiated selection of the second menu and without any intervening user-initiated selection of the second menu;
- and
- display the second menu in response to the second user-initiated selection, the second menu including the second human-readable information but absent of the first human-readable information.
