Client 102 and provider 104 can each include a communication interface. The communication interface may be an interface that can allow the client to be directly connected to provider 104 or allows the client 102 to be connected to the provider over network 108. Network 108 can include, for example, a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), or the Internet. In an embodiment, the client 102 can be connected to the provider 104 via a wireless interface. Client 102 can be configured to aggregate a plurality of preview information from a plurality of providers 104. The aggregated information can be displayed in an user interface (UI) on monitor 106. Monitor 106 can be an external component, or alternatively, monitor 106 can be integrated within client 102.
In an embodiment, provider 104 can be a search engine for indexing a multitude of information found on the Internet. In another embodiment, provider 104 can be a third party provider that is connected to an external search engine. In such an embodiment, client 102 can aggregate preview information from provider 104 that the provider 104 originally receives from a search engine.
Fig. 2 illustrates an embodiment of a method for displaying preview information within a UI. A client can obtain the functionality to display preview information by installing software that includes client-based code. For example, a client can gain the ability to present preview information by installing a web browser, a toolbar, or by installing any other plug-in that can integrate with a browser. Alternatively, a website can provide the functionality for displaying preview information within a UI by utilizing Java script. For example, the owner of a search results page may be able to put Java script on the search results page that can enable the preview information to be loaded into a section within a UI of the client. In step 204, a web link can be displayed to a user on the UI. Displaying a web link can include displaying any accessible web link that may be encountered by a user on the UI which can include, but should not be limited to, web links encountered in web browsing, search results pages, and emails. However, if a user is interested in receiving preview information regarding a website the user is currently browsing, then it may not be necessary to display a web link.
In step 206, the installed software can detect a trigger event that can cause the software to retrieve and display the preview information. A trigger event can be any event, action, or occurrence that can initiate a request for the preview information. The invention can be configured to display preview information regarding a website that corresponds to a web link encountered by a user, and the invention can be configured to display preview information regarding a website a user is currently browsing. When a user encounters a web link and wishes to retrieve preview information for the corresponding website, the trigger event can comprise the user accessing the web link. Such a trigger event can be detected by, for example, an internet browser generating a software event such as OnNavigate,. Accessing the web link can include, for example, hovering a mouse cursor over the web link, hovering a mouse cursor over an icon or selecting an icon with a mouse cursor, any other form of selecting the web link with a mouse cursor, or any type of key combination inputted into a keyboard. Modifying the behavior of a browser on mouse hover can be accomplished by altering the ONMOUSEO VER property of a hyperlink. Accessing the web link can additionally include any other input command into an external device that can be connected to the client that can reference the web link. This input command can be implemented, for example, with a UI button. When a user wishes to retrieve preview information regarding a website the user is currently browsing, a trigger event can include a user selecting an option that informs the software to retrieve the preview information. The selection of an option that informs the software to retrieve the preview information can comprise the user making a selection at designated area within the UI. The selection of an option that informs the software to retrieve the preview information can additionally comprise a key combination inputted into a keyboard or any other input command into an external device that can be connected to the client.
Once a trigger event has been detected by the software, the software can connect to a provider at step 208 to retrieve the preview information for a website corresponding to the encountered web link or for the website the user is currently browsing. This connection can be accomplished, for example, via an HTTP protocol. When connecting to the provider, the software can transmit a URL of the web link along with contextual information that can range from a user task (such as a considering visiting a website, browsing search results, currently visiting a website, Instant Message conversation, etc.), language types, types of information wanted based on user preferences, etc. The provider can use the information given by the software to search for and return relevant preview information to the client.
The provider can be, for example, a search engine that can index a plurality of information regarding a plurality of websites. The indexed information can come from a plurality of sources available to the search engine. The plurality of sources can include a website corresponding to the web link, the website the user is currently browsing, and any other third-party application or website that can provide information regarding another website. Alternatively, the provider can be a third party who can connect to a search engine to provide the information that has been indexed by the search engine. The indexed information can include a plurality of data items that can describe characteristics of a multitude of websites. A subset of data items, that can be relevant to the information sent to the provider from the client, can be used as the preview information to be transmitted back to a client and displayed to a user. Being that the information can come from a plurality of sources, the web link that the user encounters or the website that a user is currently browsing can correspond to a first source, a website for example, and the preview information can come from at least one second source other than the first source.
The plurality of data items that comprise the preview information can include any information that can be available or that can be indexed by a search engine. The data items can include but is not limited to: the last modified date for the content on the website, information regarding what people are saying about the website, the trustworthiness of the website such as a risk rating or information detailing whether the website is a known malware distributor, a popularity rating of the website, popular search queries that have brought users to the website, new or updated pages on the website, pop-up ads or malware present on the website, a thumbnail preview of page contents of the website, a full-page thumbnail of the website with search keywords highlighted, extended page excerpts and contextual descriptions of the website, a thumbnail preview of a blocked pop-up on the website, other websites with content related to the website, other websites that link to or from the website, a search results set if the web page was found via an Internet search, etc.
Once the provider has searched for relevant preview information corresponding to the information transmitted by the software, the provider can send the preview information to the client and the software can aggregate the preview information that contains the plurality of data items for the client at step 210. The client can then display the plurality of data items in a UI for the user at step 212.
Fig. 3 illustrates an embodiment of a UI for displaying preview information for a website a user is currently browsing. The UI can include a main viewing section 302 and a preview information section 304. The main viewing section 302 can include a web browsing section, an email section, a word processing section, a document creation section, or any other viewable section other than the preview information section 304. The preview information section 304 can include a listing of preview information for the website the user is currently browsing. The preview information can comprise a plurality of data items, as mentioned above, that can describe characteristics of the website the user is currently browsing. The preview information section can additionally include a selection mechanism 306 which can allow a user to interchange between a first mode for displaying preview information for the website the user is currently browsing and a second mode for displaying preview information for a website that a user may consider visiting. As shown in Fig. 3, a "Site Snapshot" mode can be an example of a mode for displaying preview information for a website the user is currently browsing. When the user selects such a mode, the preview information can be retrieved and displayed in the preview information section 304 for any website the user is currently browsing. In an embodiment, the preview information section 304 can be displayed in a pane that can be separate from the main viewing section 302. As shown in Fig. 3, the preview information section can be displayed in a left-docked pane that is to the left of the main viewing section 302, or the preview information section can be displayed in a right-docked pane that is to the right of the main viewing section 302.
