Abstract

It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a structure and method for a system for creating bookmarks of pages found within a network, including a graphic user interface adapted to receive a bookmark address within the network, and an automatic page creator that creates a page within the network listing the bookmark addresses. The graphic user interface includes a bookmark address input field and a comment field. The graphic user interface also includes a comment group selection menu which produces a plurality of comment classifications. The page creator creates the page to restrict access to the comment classifications. The page creator can be a web browser intermediary. The menu bar is adapted to launch the graphic user interface and the menu bar appears concurrently with a web browser.

Claims

1. A system for creating bookmarks of pages found within a network comprising:

a graphic user interface adapted to receive a bookmark address within said network; and

an automatic page creator adapted to create a page within said network listing said bookmark addresses.

2. The system in claim 1, wherein said graphic user interface includes:

a bookmark address input field; and

a comment field.

3. The system in claim 2, wherein said graphic user interface includes a comment group selection menu.

4. The system in claim 3, wherein said comment group selection menu produces a plurality of comment classifications and said page creator is adapted to create said page to restrict access to said comment classifications.

5. The system in claim 1, wherein said page creator comprises a web browser intermediary.

6. The system in claim 1, further comprising a menu bar adapted to launch said graphic user interface.

7. The system in claim 6, wherein set menu bar appears concurrently with a web browser.

8. A system for printing multiple pages found in a network comprising:

a graphic user interface having a menu bar including a print command button;

a page controller adapted to automatically open sub-pages linked to by a primary page; and

a print controller adapted to print said primary page and said sub-pages.

9. The system in claim 8, wherein said page controller and said print controller are activated by a single activation of said print command button.

10. The system in claim 8, wherein said menu bar appears concurrently with an Internet browser.

11. The system in claim 8, wherein said network comprises the Internet and said page controller opens Web pages.

12. The system in claim 8, further comprising a level selection menu adapted to specify a number of levels of sub-pages to be opened by said page controller.

13. A method for creating bookmarks of pages found within a network comprising:

opening a network page utilizing a browser;

activating a bookmark application;

identifying a network address as a bookmark; and

automatically creating a bookmark page on said network having said bookmark.

14. The method in claim 13, further comprising:

inputting comments regarding said bookmark; and

associating said comments with said bookmark on said bookmark page.

15. The method in claim 14, further comprising:

classifying said comments; and

restricting access to said comments.

16. The method in claim 13, further comprising creating multiple bookmarks on said bookmark page.

17. The method in claim 13, wherein a web browser intermediary is used to create said bookmark page.

18. The method in claim 13, wherein said step of identifyng a network address comprises identifying an address of said network page as a default address.

19. A method for automatically printing multiple pages found within a network comprising:

opening a network page utilizing a browser;

activating a print application;

automatically opening sub-pages linked to by said network page; and

printing said network page and said sub-pages.

20. The method in claim 19, wherein said opening and said printing are performed automatically upon said activating of said print application.

21. The method in claim 19, wherein said network comprises the Internet, and said network page comprises a web page and said sub-pages comprise Web pages linked to by said network page.

22. The method in claim 19, further comprising automatically opening additional sub-pages linked to by said sub-pages.

23. The method in claim 19, wherein said that opening and said printing are performed by a web browser intermediary.

24. A program storage device readable by machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform a method for creating bookmarks of pages found within a network, said method comprising:

opening a network page utilizing a browser;

activating a bookmark application;

identifying a network address as a bookmark; and

automatically creating a bookmark page on said network having said bookmark.

25. The program storage device as in claim 24, further comprising:

inputting comments regarding said bookmark; and

associating said comments with said bookmark on said bookmark page.

26. The program storage device as in claim 25, further comprising:

classifying said comments; and

restricting access to said comments.

27. The program storage device as in claim 24, further comprising creating multiple bookmarks on said bookmark page.

28. The program storage device as in claim 24, wherein a web browser intermediary is used to create said bookmark page.

29. The program storage device as in claim 24, wherein said step of identifying a network address comprises identifying an address of said network page as a default address.

30. A program storage device readable by machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform a method for automatically printing multiple pages found within a network, said method comprising:

opening a network page utilizing a browser;

activating a print application;

automatically opening sub-pages linked to by said network page; and

printing said network page and said sub-pages.

31. The program storage device as in claim 30, wherein said opening and said printing are performed automatically upon said activating of said print application.

32. The program storage device as in claim 30, wherein said network comprises the Internet, and said network page comprises a web page and said sub-pages comprise Web pages linked to by said network page.

33. The program storage device as in claim 30, further comprising automatically opening additional sub-pages linked to by said sub-pages.

34. The program storage device as in claim 30, wherein said that opening and said printing are performed by a web browser intermediary.
