Abstract
User-initiated or intelligently automated acquisition, extraction and presentation of content such as photos, videos, and/or other content (e.g., news stories, product displays, advertisements, etc.), from a Web site in a full-screen slideshow via client-side software, which may be implemented as a stand-alone application, an extension (a.k.a. plug-in, or add-on), a Web browser feature (a.k.a. function), or as an embedded component associated with the content.
Claims18
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- responsive to a cursor being positioned proximate to a previously displayed reduced-size version of a content item obtained from an Internet source, displaying an icon on top of the previously displayed reduced-size version of the content item;
- responsive to a user input that positions the cursor over the icon and selects the icon while the cursor is still positioned over the icon, displaying a full-screen view of the content item retrieved from its Internet source, the full-screen view rendered in a viewer launched in response to the user input.
A computer-implemented method for displaying a full-screen view of a content item, comprising:
- displaying a reduced-size version of a content item;
- receiving a first user input that positions a cursor close to the reduced-size version of the content item or on top of the reduced-size version of the content item;
- in response to receiving the first user input, displaying an icon on top of the reduced-size version of the content item;
- receiving a second user input that positions the cursor over the icon;
- receiving a third user input while the cursor is still positioned over the icon;
- and
- in response to receiving the third user input, launching a viewer that displays a full-screen view of the content item.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for displaying a full-screen view of a content item, the method comprising:
- displaying a reduced-size version of a content item;
- receiving a first user input that positions a cursor close to the reduced-size version of the content item or on top of the reduced-size version of the content item;
- in response to receiving the first user input, displaying an icon on top of the reduced-size version of the content item;
- receiving a second user input that positions the cursor over the icon;
- receiving a third user input while the cursor is still positioned over the icon;
- and
- in response to receiving the third user input, launching a viewer that displays a full-screen view of the content item.
