Abstract
The invention is a method, a computer readable medium and a system for improving performance of a graphical user interface (GUI). In one respect, the invention is a method for improving performance of a GUI. The method comprises identifying a plurality of links, wherein the identifying is performed in response to an initiation command. The method further comprises automatically processing the plurality of links, with each link being processed individually. In another respect, the invention is a computer readable medium on which is embedded computer software comprising a set of instructions for executing the above method. In yet another respect, the invention is a system configured to perform the above method.
Claims20
A method for improving performance of a graphical user interface (GUI), the method comprising:
- identifying a plurality of links on a Web page, wherein the identifying is performed in response to an initiation command;
- graphically selecting a subset or group of the plurality of links on the Web page via the graphical user interface by an end user;
- editing the plurality of links and the selected subset or group of links on the Web page by the end user;
- and
- automatically processing the plurality of links and the selected subset or group of links on the Web page, with each link being processed individually.
A computer readable medium on which is embedded computer software comprising a set of instructions for executing a method of improving performance of a graphical user interface (GUI), the method comprising:
- identifying a plurality of links on a Web page, wherein the identifying is performed in response to an initiation command;
- graphically selecting a subset or group of the plurality of links on the Web page via the graphical user interface by an end user;
- editing the plurality of links and the selected subset or group of links on the Web page by the end user;
- and
- automatically processing the plurality of links and the selected subset or group of links, with each link being processed individually.
A system for improving performance of a graphical user interface (GUI), the system comprising:
- a parser, wherein the parser is configured to identify a plurality of links on a Web page in response to an initiation command;
- a graphical pointer configured to graphically select a subset or group of the plurality of links on the Web pane via the graphical user interface by an end user, wherein the parser is configured to edit the plurality of links on the Web page and the selected subset or group of links on the Web page based on the end user's selection;
- and
- a thread generator, wherein the thread generator is configured to individually process each of the plurality of links on the Web page.
