Content synchronization across devices

A client computing device, comprising:

• one or more processing units;
• a memory coupled to the one or more processing units;
• and
• one or more network interfaces;
• the client computing device configured to perform operations for synchronization of scrolling location across devices in a service provider environment, the operations comprising:
• in response to a request for displaying a web page at the client computing device, receiving a document object model (DOM) for the requested web page, the DOM comprising a plurality of DOM elements;
• storing in a user profile associated with a user of the client computing device, browsing information for the web page, the browsing information comprising at least a uniform resource locator (URL) of the web page, state information for at least one element of the web page, and a current scrolling location for the web page, wherein the state information comprises an indication of at least one of the DOM elements or a text fragment located at a top of a viewport of the client computing device;
• and
• providing the browsing information, comprising the URL, the state information, and the current scrolling location, for the web page to a second client device associated with the user profile, so that the web page with the current scrolling location is displayed at the second client device by locating the at least one DOM element or the text fragment in a page layout displayed at the second client device and adjusting the current scrolling location of the web page displayed on the second client device so that web content associated with at least one DOM element or text fragment is displayed at a top of a viewport of the second client device.

A computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions for synchronization of scrolling location across devices, the operations comprising:

• receiving at a first client device, web page resources for a requested web page;
• displaying during a browsing session, the web page at a viewport of the first client device using the received web page resources;
• tracking state information for the displayed web page, wherein the state information comprises at least a page scrolling location and at least one DOM element associated with web page content displayed within the viewport;
• storing the tracked state information, comprising the page scrolling location and the at least one DOM element associated with web page content displayed within the viewport, in a user profile associated with a user of the first client device, wherein the state information is accessible by the user from at least a second client device, for displaying the web page at the second client device;
• in response to a synchronization request displayed at the first client device, updating the state information in the user profile based on one or more changes in the web page obtained from display of the web page at the second client device, wherein the web page displayed at the first client device is the same as the web page displayed at the second client device, and wherein the one or more changes comprise a page scrolling location of the web page displayed at the second client device;
• and
• modifying the web page displayed at the first client device based on the updated state information to perform synchronization of the page scrolling location by locating at least one DOM element from the updated state information, or a text fragment associated with the at least one DOM element, in the web page displayed at the first client device and adjusting the page scrolling location so that web content associated with at least one DOM element or text fragment is displayed at a top of the viewport of the first client device.
