Abstract

A method is provided for a first network resource to facilitate access of a client to content, comprising the steps of receiving from a user a request for a document stored at a second network resource; obtaining the requested document from the second network resource; determining whether the requested document contains instructions for redirecting to a document at a network resource other than the first network resource; replacing the instructions with an instruction to redirect to the first network resource, and providing the document to said user with the replaced instructions. The method may also include, in response to a request from a user, providing linked term content including terms selected from the document, and links associated with each of the terms.

Claims

1. A method for providing for a first network resource to facilitate access of a client to content, comprising the steps of:

receiving from a user a request for a document stored at a second network resource;

obtaining the requested document from the second network resource;

determining whether the requested document contains instructions for redirecting to a document at a network resource other than said second network resource;

replacing said instructions with an instruction to redirect to said network resource, and providing said document to said user with said replaced instructions.

2. The method of claim 1, comprising the step of providing to the user with said document a screen portion having a link to linked term content on said network resource.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising the steps of receiving from the user a request for said linked term content, and providing to the user linked term content comprising terms selected from said document, and custom links associated with each of said terms.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein said custom links comprise at least one link for performing a search for documents related to the associated term and providing a document including results of said search to the user.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein said custom links comprise at least one link for providing information relating to availability of products and services associated with said term.

6. The method of claim 3, wherein said step of providing comprises use of wireless access protocol.

7. A system for providing for a first network resource to facilitate access of a client to content, comprising:

means for requesting, in response to a request from a client, a document from a second network resource;

means for identifying and rewriting instructions in said document to request a second document from a location other than on said first network resource; and

means for providing said document to said client with said rewritten instructions.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein said system further comprises means for providing to the user with said document a screen portion having a link to linked term content available on said first network resource.

9. The system of claim 8, further comprising means for providing to the user, in response to a request for said linked term content, linked term content comprising terms selected from said document, and custom links associated with each of said terms.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein said custom links comprise at least one link for performing a search for documents related to the associated term and providing a document including results of said search to the user.

11. The system of claim 9, wherein said custom links comprise at least one link for providing information relating to availability of products and services associated with said term.

12. The system of claim 7, wherein said means for providing comprises means for using of wireless access protocol.

14. The storage medium of claim 13, wherein said instructions cause the processor to perform the further step of providing to the user with said document a screen portion having a link to linked term content on said network resource.

15. The storage medium of claim 14, wherein said instructions cause the processor to perform the further steps of receiving from the user a request for said linked term content, and providing to the user linked term content comprising terms selected from said document, and custom links associated with each of said terms.

16. The storage medium of claim 15, wherein said custom links comprise at least one link for performing a search for documents related to the associated term and providing a document including results of said search to the user.

17. The storage medium of claim 15, wherein said custom links comprise at least one link for providing information relating to availability of products and services associated with said term.

18. The storage medium of claim 13, wherein instructions cause said processor, in said step of providing, to se wireless access protocol.

13. A storage medium having stored therein a plurality of instructions, wherein the plurality of instructions, when executed by a processor at a first network resource, cause the processor to perform the steps of:

receiving from a user a request for a document stored at a second network resource;

obtaining the requested document from the second network resource;

determining whether the requested document contains instructions for redirecting to a document at a network resource other than said second network resource;

replacing said instructions with an instruction to redirect to said network resource, and providing said document to said user with said replaced instructions.
