First Claim
1. A previously-browsed information adaptive filter unit integrated into a web browser that improves functioning of a computerized electronic device by maximizing display screen real estate utilization and user review speed of the web browser operated by the computerized electronic device, the previously-browsed information adaptive filter unit comprising:
- an adaptive filter control and timer logic block comprising a filter timer unit and a filter enable and disable control unit, wherein the adaptive filter control and timer logic block activates or deactivates a maximum display screen real estate utilization and user review speed mode for the web browser incorporated into the computerized electronic device;
an adaptive filtering and content substitution logic block that improves the functioning of the computerized device by maximizing display screen real estate utilization and user review speed of the web browser operated by the computerized electronic device, wherein the adaptive filtering and content substitution logic block comprises an already-viewed links and contents deletion unit, a replacement hyperlink and content generation unit, and a webpage synthesis unit, and wherein the adaptive filtering and content substitution logic block is operatively connected to a website'"'"'s computer server that provides electronic contents to the web browser of the computerized electronic device via a data network; and
an adaptive filter'"'"'s updatable database comprising a list of user-visited websites, a list of hyperlinks clicked, pressed, or invoked by a user accessing the website, and a list of time elapsed since clicking, pressing, or invoking of each hyperlink by the user accessing the website through the computerized electronic device connected to the website'"'"'s computer server, wherein the adaptive filter'"'"'s updatable database is also operatively connected to the website'"'"'s computer server to dynamically track and update the list of user-visited websites and the list of hyperlinks clicked, pressed, or invoked by the user accessing the website.

Abstract
A previously-browsed information adaptive filter unit and a method of operating the adaptive filter unit are disclosed. In one embodiment, the previously-browsed information adaptive filter unit can be integrated into a web browser as a factory-spec filter, as an aftermarket application software, or as a semiconductor chip. The previously-browsed information adaptive filter unit is capable of identifying, queuing, replacing, and/or substituting a user'"'"'s previously-browsed information from a website with a fresh content, which the user has not yet interacted with from the website. The previously-browsed information adaptive filter unit may be integrated into a desktop or laptop web browser, or into a handheld mobile web browser. The previously-browsed information adaptive filter unit significantly improves the functioning of a computerized electronic device by minimizing redundant information transmission between the computerized electronic device and a web host server, and by prioritizing fresher information in a limited display screen size for efficient communication.

11. A method for operating a previously-browsed information adaptive filter integrated into a web browser that improves functioning of a computerized electronic device by maximizing display screen real estate utilization and user review speed of the web browser in the computerized electronic device, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a batch of electronic information to be displayed on the web browser of a computerized electronic device from a website'"'"'s computer server; identifying previously-accessed or previously-reviewed information by a user from the batch of electronic information; checking whether the previously-browsed information adaptive filter is currently in an enable mode to maximize the display screen real estate utilization and the user review speed of the web browser incorporated in the computerized electronic device; if the previously-browsed information adaptive filter is in the enable mode; initiating a filter timer, which is controlled and managed by a settings menu integrated into the web browser; requesting different electronic information from the website'"'"'s computer server; replacing the previously-accessed or previously-reviewed information with the different electronic information to remove content redundancy and supply fresh information instead to maximize the display screen real estate utilization and the user review speed of the web browser incorporated in the computerized electronic device; synthesizing a uniquely-infused webpage that includes the different electronic information and a non-accessed and non-reviewed portion of the batch of electronic information to remove content redundancy and supply fresh information instead to maximize the display screen real estate utilization and the user review speed of the web browser incorporated in the computerized electronic device; and displaying the uniquely-infused webpage from the web browser; else if the previously-browsed information adaptive filter is in a disable mode; transferring all of the batch of electronic information to the web browser for unfiltered display; and displaying an unfiltered webpage from the web browser. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
