Emphasizing a portion of the visible content elements of a markup language document
First Claim
1. A method of increasing a display size of a portion of a markup language document, the method comprising:
- displaying the markup language document at a first display size, the markup language document having a plurality of visible content elements;
identifying a first user-selected visible content element of the plurality of visible content elements, the first user-selected visible content element being displayed at the first display size;
identifying a second machine-selected visible content element of the plurality of visible content elements, the second machine-selected visible content element being displayed at the first display size, wherein the second machine-selected visible content element is related to the first user-selected visible content element, wherein the second machine-selected visible content element is selected based on a criterion selected from the group consisting of;
size of the second machine-selected visible content element, visual separation between the second machine-selected visible content element and other visible content elements, layout within the second machine-selected visible content element, headers and images within the second machine-selected visible content element, a type of the second machine-selected visible content element as indicated by an HTML tag, whether the second machine-selected visible content element is a cell of a repeating layout, and whether the second machine-selected visible content element includes a menu or a list; and
displaying the first user-selected visible content element and the second machine-selected visible content element at a second display size greater than the first display size, while displaying other visible content elements of the markup language document at the first display size, wherein content of the first user-selected visible content element and the second machine-selected visual content elements remains unchanged.

Abstract
Some described embodiments relate to techniques for editing markup elements of a markup language document to emphasize a portion of the visible content elements of the markup language document. The techniques may be implemented in any suitable manner, including via scripting language code (e.g., JavaScript) that is incorporated into the markup language document but is not preconfigured with information regarding the markup language document or any other markup language document. The scripting language code may perform the editing automatically, and based on an automatic analysis of markup elements of the markup language document. Some embodiments may include determining the portion of the markup language document to be emphasized by identifying content of interest to a user, including by determining a set of related content through analyzing a structure of markup elements of the markup language document and/or layout of visible content elements of the markup language document.

15. An apparatus comprising:
-
a processor; and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having encoded thereon a markup language document having incorporated therein instructions that, when executed by a viewing application executing on the processor, cause the processor to carry out a method of increasing a display size of a portion of the markup language document, the method comprising; displaying the markup language document at a first display size, the markup language document having a plurality of visible content elements; identifying a first user-selected visible content element of the plurality of visible content elements, the first user-selected visible content element being displayed at the first display size; identifying a second machine-selected visible content element of the plurality of visible content elements, the second machine-selected visible content element being displayed at the first display size, wherein the second machine-selected visible content element is related to the first user-selected visible content element, wherein the second machine-selected visible content element is selected based on a criterion selected from the group consisting of;
size of the second machine-selected visible content element, visual separation between the second machine-selected visible content element and other visible content elements, layout within the second machine-selected visible content element, headers and images within the second machine-selected visible content element, a type of the second machine-selected visible content element as indicated by an HTML tag, whether the second machine-selected visible content element is a cell of a repeating layout, and whether the second machine-selected visible content element includes a menu or a list; anddisplaying the first user-selected visible content element and the second machine-selected visible content element at a second display size greater than the first display size, while displaying other visible content elements of the markup language document at the first display size, wherein content of the first user-selected visible content element and the second machine-selected visual content elements remains unchanged.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having encoded thereon a markup language document having incorporated therein executable instructions, wherein the executable instructions, when executed by processor, cause the processor to carry out a method, the method comprising:
identifying, based on a first user input, a first user-selected visible content element of the markup language document; and in response to a second user input, determining a first set of markup elements of the markup language document defining the first user-selected visible content element; automatically identifying a second machine-selected visible content element of the markup language document, wherein the second machine-selected visible content element is related to the first user-selected visible content element and is to be magnified together with the first user-selected visible content element, wherein the second machine-selected visible content element is selected based on a criterion selected from the group consisting of;
size of the second machine-selected visible content element, visual separation between the second machine-selected visible content element and other visible content elements, layout within the second machine-selected visible content element, headers and images within the second machine-selected visible content element, a type of the second machine-selected visible content element as indicated by an HTML tag, whether the second machine-selected visible content element is a cell of a repeating layout, and whether the second machine-selected visible content element includes a menu or a list;inserting duplicated markup elements into the markup language document, wherein the duplicated markup elements correspond to the first user-selected and second machine-selected visible content elements; and displaying the duplicated markup elements superimposed onto the first user-selected and second machine-selected visible content elements and with an increased size relative to a first unmagnified display size of the first user-selected and second machine-selected visible content elements while displaying other visible content elements of the markup language document at the first unmagnified display size, wherein content of the duplicated visible content elements is identical to content of the first user-selected visible content element and the second machine-selected visible content element. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
