DE102016012683A1 - Method and system for selecting and displaying website content - Google Patents

Abstract

It proposes a method and a system for selecting and modifying existing and assigned web page content (1, 2, 3, 4), a subsequent data preparation of the web page content (1, 3) as well as the generation and provision of applications with those previously obtained from web pages then data-edited web page content (1 ", 3").

Description

The invention relates to a method and a system for selecting web page content and its presentation.

State of the art

For example, a "configuration of data services" is known (US Pat. DE 10 2007 010 510 A1 ). A method is disclosed on a portable data carrier that is used to configure a data service offered by a data service provider. The portable data carrier has a configuration directory sent by a data service provider that includes configuration options relating to a data service. The portable data carrier selects a configuration option, sends it to the data service provider, and in turn receives the corresponding data service information from the data service provider. The information is presented with presentation elements of the data carrier on an output device.

A disadvantage of the known method is that with this method only data from a data service provider can be configured. These data are standardized data, such as tables or the like.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide a method which allows a selection of unstructured data sources, which are structured by means of a software.

On A) a): Browsers are special computer programs for displaying web pages on the World Wide Web or, generally, documents and data. In addition to HTML pages, web browsers can display various other types of documents, such as images and PDF documents. Web browsers are the interface for web applications.

An editor is a computer program for creating and editing digital data or files, ie a processing program.

A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is a naming standard for network resources and identifies and locates a resource, in particular a web page, about the access method to be used, for example, the network protocol HTTP used, and the location of the resource in the computer network.

To A) c): The application in the selection is made in particular by a mouse, a keyboard or operation of a touch screen.

To A) d): The selection elements are in particular data, information, texts, images, tables, graphics and the like. Like. The highlighting can be done for example by a color coding.

To A) f): The position and thus the assigned data contents are rearranged by editing, changed in shape and color or completely modified.

To B) h): The positions are stored via a DOM path or visual positioning. DOM (Document Object Model) is a specification of an interface for accessing HTML or XML documents.

The computer program "remembers the situation", that is, the selected positions to which data contents are assigned.

To B) i): The configuration is sent to a server or a computer center, cf. further step in C) j).

To C) j): The server or the data center retrieves the contents from the selected position and thus builds the content from the content and the configuration. The changes in this selected position are updated automatically. This is done in particular by mirroring.
