Description

搜索和浏览URL和URL历史的方法
背景 
网络浏览器界面当前允许用户查看网页的位置。某些界面例如在图形用户界面中显示用户的收藏夹网页的统一资源定位符(URL)。而某些界面显示用户已访问的网页的URL。这些界面还可显示在搜索用户的收藏夹或历史时找到的网页的URL。但是这些界面可能没有对用户的显示区域进行良好的利用、使用户感到混淆、或使用户难以导航。例如，某些界面以层叠的下拉菜单来呈现网页历史，这对某些用户而言可能很难导航，尤其是不能很好地使用鼠标的那些用户。 
概述 
描述了呈现网络浏览器应用程序的隐式和显式用户关联网页的标志的***和/或方法(“工具”)。该工具可响应于用户对单个统一访问点的选择，或响应于对浏览器的用户关联网页的搜索而在单个图形用户界面中显示这些标志。

详细描述 
综述 
下文描述了呈现网络浏览器应用程序的隐式和显式用户关联网页的标志的工具。在一个实施例中，该工具在随浏览器的用户界面浮动或停放的单个图形用户界面中呈现这些标志。在其它实施例中，这些标志响应于用户对单个统一访问点的选择、打开浏览器、或对浏览器的用户关联网页的选择来呈现。 
示例性操作环境 
在详细描述该工具之前，提供了以下示例性操作环境的讨论以帮助读者理解在何处以及如何利用该工具。以下提供的描述仅构成一个示例，而并不旨在将该工具的应用限于任何一个具体的操作环境。 
图1在100处概括地示出了一个这样的操作环境，包括计算机102、通信网络104和网络计算机106。该计算机被示为包括一个或多个处理器108以及计算机可读介质110。处理器能够执行计算机可读介质上的指令。计算机可读介质包括实现具有用户界面模块114、搜索模块116、用户关联网页标志118以及标记/打开模块120的网络浏览器112的指令。这些模块被示为与网络浏览器集成，然而它们也可与该浏览器分离。如果分离，则每一模块能够诸如通过一个或多个应用程序编程接口(API)与网络浏览器通信。标志118具有用户与其自身显式或隐式地关联的网页的标志，诸如收藏夹网页标志122、历史网页标志124以及馈源网页标志126。馈源网页与用户关联的馈源或标签，如丰富站点摘要(RSS)馈源相关。用户界面模块能够呈现这些标志。搜索模块能够搜索标志和相关信息，诸如与每一标志相关联的网页的元数据和内容。标记/打开模块允许用户将一组网页标记为一个收藏夹和/或用单个用户动作来打开多个网页。 
通信网络允许计算机和网络计算机之间的通信，并可包括诸如公司的内部网络等内联网、因特网等中的一个或多个。 
示例性用户界面 
以下讨论描述了用于呈现用户关联网页的标志的示例性用户界面和相关过程。该过程在图2的200处示出，并描述了该工具与网络浏览器的用户接口的示例性方式。该过程被示为由环境100的元素，诸如用户界面模块114执行的各个操作或动作的一系列框。此处所描述的这一和其它过程针对这些元素以帮助读者理解该工具的具体实施例，而并不旨在将该工具的应用限于该环境。这些过程可用任何适当的硬件、软件、固件或其组合来实现。在软件和固件的情况下，这些过程表示被实现为计算机可执行指令的各组操作。 
框202呈现允许用户获得对显式和隐式用户关联网页的标志的访问的单个统一访问点。该访问点可包括图标、图形或可选择文本。用户可用单个用户动作来选择该访问点。 
图3阐明了用于具有单个统一访问点302的网络浏览器112的示例性图形用户界面300，该访问点具有星形图标。该可选择图标定位在该界面的左侧，并在可具有其它可选择控件(未示出)的命令栏304内。 
框204接收对呈现允许访问显式和隐式用户关联网页的标志的用户界面的用户选择。框204可通过用户点击图3所示的访问点302或以其它方式来接收该选择。 
框206呈现允许访问显式和隐式用户关联网页的标志的用户界面。该用户界面可包括单个可导航图形用户界面，通过其可查看和/或选择这些标志。它可以是例如停放在网络浏览器的界面内的窗口，或者可以是浮动的实体。标志可通过将网页与用户相关联的方式来选择，诸如通过用户将网页标记为收藏夹而与显式地与用户相关联、通过用户将网页标记为馈源而显式地与用户相关联、以及通过用户查看网页由此启用已查看网页的历史而隐式地与用户相关联的那些方式。 
图4阐明了允许访问用户的收藏夹网页、馈源网页和历史网页的标志的示例性可导航窗口400。该界面被停放在网络浏览器112的用户界面402内。对用户的收藏夹122、历史124和馈源126的访问可通过以下可选择控件来允许：用于收藏夹的404；用于历史的406；以及用于馈源的408。这些控件中的每一个都可用单个用户动作来选择。还示出了搜索输入域410，它将作为过程600的一部分来更详细描述。 
框208接收查看一个或多个显式和/或隐式用户关联网页的标志的选择。此处，框208接收用户对图4所示的收藏夹控件404的选择。 
框210确定将显示标志的顺序或层次。框210可按字母表顺序、时间先后顺序或遵循用户选择的顺序来对显式用户关联网页的标志排序。框210可遵循各种算 法为隐式用户关联网页的标志设置顺序或层次。这些算法之一用网页何时被查看以及它们以什么频率被查看的加权组合来对标志排序，诸如对在最近三周内最经常访问的页面的标志排序。 
框212在一图形用户界面中呈现显式和/或隐式用户关联网页的标志。该图形用户界面可包括一个或多个窗口或区域。标志可自动地(例如，当打开网络浏览器时)、响应于用户对单个统一访问点的选择、或响应于查看一种或多种类型的用户关联网页的标志的选择来呈现。由此，框212可独立于或响应于框204和208来进行动作。 
图5阐明了图4的示例性可导航窗口400以及收藏夹的标志500。这些标志在标志区域502中示出。标志区域可一次一个地或组合地呈现诸如收藏夹、历史和馈源等不同类型的用户关联网页的标志。先前查看的(历史)网页的标志在历史标志区域504中呈现。此处，用户界面模块114响应于用户选择图4中的收藏夹控件404来呈现收藏夹的标志500。用户界面模块在没有用户动作的情况下呈现历史标志504。为清楚起见，历史标志在图5中示出，但是也可在图4中响应于对302处所示的星图标的选择而呈现。 
收藏夹标志500以可导航的层次来呈现，该层次由用户定义(然而它也可由用户界面模块114来定义)。此处，用两个标志，即506处的图形和508处的文本来指示一个收藏夹网页(题为“MSN.com”)。图形或文本可以是用户定义的、网页定义的、或由用户界面模块114来定义。作为对“MSN.com”的辅助还定位了两个其它标志。这些其它标志是与父“MSN.com”相关且比其更具体的网页。用于这些网页的标志具有文本，此处是在510和512处示出了描述性标题。类似地，还呈现了其它收藏夹网页的标志，此处是514和516处的“CNET.com”、518和520处的“Geek.com”、522和524处的“eBay.com”、526和528处的“Ofoto.com”、530处的“Ofoto Family Pics”、以及532处的“Ofoto Trip Pics”。用户可选择这些标志中的一个或多个，之后网络浏览器112将相关联的网页加载到网页查看区域534中。 
历史标志504基于在框210处确定的其顺序来呈现。此处，用户界面模块114基于在最近三周内哪些网页最经常被用户查看来呈现前七个网页的标志。该标志可包括文本或图形或图标(例如，文本536和图标538)。此处，标志是包括由特定网页提供的图标或由用户界面模块114创建的文本标志的正方形小块。 
用户界面模块可使用与网页相关联的元数据来创建标志。例如，用户界面模 块可截断网页的URL并显示它。通常，URL的第一部分并未特别地描述该页面；截断它可允许一描述性标志而无需大范围的空间来呈现它。例如，对以下URL： 
HTTP::\\www.msn.com\uq2k3j42\239u8421d\mediaplayer 
用户界面模块将该URL截断为“mediaplayer”。该标志在536处示出。 
搜索用户关联网页 
图6所示的过程600描述了用于搜索用户关联网页的示例性方法。该过程被示为表示由环境100的元素，诸如搜索模块116和用户界面模块114执行的各个操作或动作的一系列框。 
框602允许用户输入搜索。继续上述所示的实施例，用户界面模块114提供搜索输入域410作为图4的可导航窗口400的一部分。 
框604接收诸如文字等搜索字符。图7阐明了具有在702处的域410中示出的搜索项“Canon”的图4的窗口400。 
框606基于搜索字符来搜索用户关联网页。框606可搜索一种类型的用户关联网页，诸如刚才的历史、馈源或收藏夹。框606还可搜索多种或所有类型，而不管页面如何与用户相关联。这允许用户用单个搜索来看到例如用户已查看的(最近或曾经)、被标记为收藏夹的、以及被标记为与期望馈源相关联的具有搜索项或字符的网页。默认地，搜索模块116搜索所有用户关联网页。 
搜索模块116可在输入搜索字符时一次性地用所有搜索字符或每次一个地进行搜索。此处，搜索模块逐个字符地搜索，其中每一新字符引起对该字符和前导字符的另一搜索。因此，搜索模块对“C”搜索用户关联网页及其标志或其它元数据，然后对“Ca”进行搜索，然后对“Can”进行搜索，依此类推。这可允许用户通过实时搜索来迅速找到用户关联网页。用户可仅用“Can”来找到其查找的网页，由此节省了用户的时间。 
框606可在网页本身内以及网页的元数据内搜索字符匹配。此处，搜索模块在网页本身内以及元数据内搜索文本。元数据可包括网页的标题或URL、元标签关键词、元标签描述以及用户定义的关键词。 
框608诸如通过用户驱动的加权搜索来确定结果的顺序或层次。此处，搜索模块116至少部分地基于网页的用户驱动因素，诸如用户定义的关键词、用户定义的标题等来对结果加权。搜索模块以对用户定义的关键词匹配(如果网页具有用户定义的关键词)给出的最高权重、之后是标题和URL、全文本和元标签的降序加 权因子来对“Canon”搜索的结果排序。 
框608还可将结果排列成具有相似性的组。分组可基于具有相同的域名和/或相同的用户关联类型(例如，历史、馈源和收藏夹)的那些网页。此处，对历史、馈源和收藏夹网页的“Canon”搜索的结果包括11个网页。此处定义的组是来自收藏夹的网页(两个网页)、来自馈源的网页(两个网页)、共享“eBay”域名的网页(三个网页)以及共享“CNET”域名的网页(四个网页)。 
框610响应于搜索呈现用户关联网页的标志。框610可用平面列表或分层结构(例如，树)来呈现标志。此处，用户界面模块在图7所示的标志区域502中呈现在树中按组706、708、710和712定位的标志704。组706针对来自用户的收藏夹的具有714处所示的“收藏夹”组标题的网页，组708针对来自用户的馈源的具有716处所示的“馈源”组标题的网页，组710针对来自eBayTM的具有718处所示的“eBay.com”组标题的网页，而组712针对来自CNETTM的具有720处所示的“CNET.com”组标题的网页。 
用户界面模块可实时呈现标志，此处搜索模块呈现仅有“C”的网页，然后呈现具有“Ca”的网页，依此类推(结果未示出-仅示出了“Canon”的结果)。 
标志可包括网页的图标或图形(未示出)。它还可包括从搜索所得的文本。从搜索所得的文本可包括搜索字符和围绕的、前导的或后跟的字符。这向用户提供了对网页内容的小型快照。图7中的标志是来自搜索的示出了搜索字符(“Canon”)的所有文本，以及后跟的来自网页的到句子结束的文本或适合的文本(取决于哪个更短)。 
标记和打开多个网页 
该工具还允许用户用单个用户动作来标记多个网页。用户可将一组网页标记为收藏夹或对整个组的收藏夹。该工具还可用单个用户动作来打开多个网页。 
图8所示的过程800描述了用于标记和打开多个网页的示例性方法。该过程被示为表示由环境100的元素，诸如标记/打开模块120执行的各个操作或动作的一系列框。 
框802允许选择多个网页的一个或多个标志。框802可呈现从搜索、用户的选择、用户关联网页的列表或其它所得的网页(用户关联网页或其它网页)的标志。 
继续上述所示的实施例，再次考虑图7。此处，示出了两组标志。一组包括按组示出的用户关联网页的搜索结果，为704处所示的标志。另一组包括504处所示 的历史标志。用户可诸如通过用高亮来选择多个历史标志，来选择这些标志中的一个以上标志。用户也可诸如通过点击组标题(例如，714、716、718或720)来选择多个网页的单个标志。 
框804接收用户对多个网页的选择。此处，用户用单个用户动作，即点击题为“CNET.com”的组标题720来选择四个网页的标志。 
框806响应于用户的选择打开多个网页。此处，标记/打开模块120打开与四个标志相关联的作为组712的一部分来呈现的网页。网页可以在单独的窗口中呈现，或者可呈现一个网页并且准备好其它网页用于呈现。 
图9阐明了具有用选项卡指示符902、904、906和908来标记的打开的网页的图7的界面402。示出了网页之一(选项卡为902)，其它网页可通过选择适当的选项卡而引到前景。选项卡可包括网页的标志，诸如图标、标题、截断的URL或搜索标志。打开了四个CNET网页，显示了组中的第一个网页(具有作为“CanonCamera Reviews”的缩写的标志“Canon C”)。 
框808接收标记多个网页的用户选择。用户可选择用于多个网页的一个标志、当前打开的所有网页、用于多个网页的多个标志等等。用户可用单个或多个动作来进行这一选择。在图9中，用户可选择标志来标记所有搜索结果、特定组的网页、或各个打开的网页。用户还可选择标记所有打开的网页。此处，假定用户选择标题720来将该组的网页标记为单个收藏夹。窗口400可呈现允许用户打开或标记组的选项，诸如响应于悬停在标志上打开组中的所有网页或将其作为一个或多个收藏夹来保存。 
框810标记多个网页。此处，标记/打开模块120响应于用户的单个动作将标题720下的所有网页标记为收藏夹。该模块可将每一网页标记为单独的收藏夹或具有多个网页的单个收藏夹。此处，该模块标记了具有这四个网页的单个收藏夹。 
在将网页标记为单个收藏夹之后，用户可用单个用户动作选择打开收藏夹中的所有网页。该工具可在框702之后或以其它方式进行这一步。 
结论 
上述工具呈现了网络浏览器应用程序的隐式和显式用户关联网页的标志。它们可允许用户在单个图形界面中查看不同类型的用户关联网页并与其交互。这可使得用户与其收藏夹、馈源和历史网页的交互更容易或更直观。尽管此处以对结构特征和/或方法动作专用的语言描述了该工具，但是可以理解，所附权利要求书中定 义的主题不必限于所描述的具体特征或动作。相反，这些具体特征和动作是作为实现所要求保护的***、方法和/或计算机可读介质的示例性形式来公开的。
