Content selection widget for visitors of web pages
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- on a computer with at least one processor,providing one or more user input mechanisms, wherein the user input mechanisms identify one or more content portions and a manner in which the one or more content portions will be displayed in a first web page,automatically generating a code snippet for a user interface object to be embedded in the first webpage, wherein the code snippet is generated based on the one or more user inputs, and wherein the code snippet is embedded in the first web page,wherein the code snippet is configured to cause querying a service to select content portions for the one or more content portions extracted from other web content,wherein the service to select content portions is coupled to a computer readable storage medium, andwherein the one or more content portions being identified responsive to the query are one or more content portions stored previously by one or more users of the service to select content portions, anddisplaying the identified one or more content portions, or a representation of the one or more content portions, within the user interface object embedded on the first web page.

Abstract
A method and system for enabling the display of user selected content-portions of internet documents that have been selected by users of a content-portion selection service are disclosed. Accordingly, a content-portion selection service includes a web portal with a web page providing users with a snippet of code, which, when inserted into an internet document, causes the internet document to display selected content-portions from the content-portion selection service. The snippet of code can be configured to query the content-portion selection service for selected content-portions that were made by certain users, or, selection content-portions made on documents from certain domains, and so forth. The code associated with the user interface object displaying the selected content-portions can be configured to periodically query the content-portion selection service to retrieve up-to-date content-portion selections, thereby dynamically changing the content-portions appearing on a web page or internet document.

-
on a computer with at least one processor, providing one or more user input mechanisms, wherein the user input mechanisms identify one or more content portions and a manner in which the one or more content portions will be displayed in a first web page, automatically generating a code snippet for a user interface object to be embedded in the first webpage, wherein the code snippet is generated based on the one or more user inputs, and wherein the code snippet is embedded in the first web page, wherein the code snippet is configured to cause querying a service to select content portions for the one or more content portions extracted from other web content, wherein the service to select content portions is coupled to a computer readable storage medium, and wherein the one or more content portions being identified responsive to the query are one or more content portions stored previously by one or more users of the service to select content portions, and displaying the identified one or more content portions, or a representation of the one or more content portions, within the user interface object embedded on the first web page. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A computer-implemented method for displaying content portions of web pages, comprising executing on a processor the steps of:
-
presenting a first web page of a first website for configuring, through one or more user input mechanisms, a user interface object to be displayed on a second webpage of a second website, receiving the one or more user inputs, wherein the user inputs identify one or more content portions and a manner in which the one or more content portions will be displayed, and configuring the user interface object accordingly, automatically providing a code snippet for the user interface object to be embedded in the second webpage, wherein the code snippet is generated based on the one or more user inputs, and wherein the code snippet is embedded in the second web page, wherein the code snippet is configured to cause querying a service to select content portions for the one or more content portions extracted from other web content, wherein the service to select content portions is coupled to a computer readable storage medium, and wherein the one or more content portions being identified responsive to the query are one or more content portions stored previously by one or more users of the service to select content portions, and displaying the identified one or more content portions, or a representation of the one or more content portions, within the user interface object embedded on the second web page. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system to display content portions, the system comprising a computer with at least one processor and coupled to a memory storing instructions, executing via the processor the steps of:
-
providing one or more user input mechanisms, wherein the user input mechanisms identify one or more content portions and a manner in which the content portions will be displayed in a first web page, automatically generating a code snippet for a user interface object to be embedded in the first webpage, wherein the code snippet is generated based on the one or more user inputs, and wherein the code snippet is embedded in the first web page, wherein the code snippet is configured to cause querying a service to select content portions for the one or more content portions extracted from other web content, wherein the service to select content portions is coupled to a computer readable storage medium, and wherein the one or more content portions being identified responsive to the query are one or more content portions stored previously by one or more users of the service to select content portions, and displaying the identified one or more content portions, or a representation of the one or more content portions, within the user interface object embedded on the first web page. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
