Abstract

Provided herein is a recursive web browser system including a recursive web browser, a network connection, a processor, and a computer memory storing one or more netvariables and executable instructions to manipulate the netvariables or content therein. Also provided is a method for retrieving web content using netvariables in the recursive web browser system. Further provided is a computer program product, including a memory, on which is stored a plurality of netvariables and the methods for retrieving and using web content.

Claims

1. A recursive web browser system, comprising:

a computer having a processor and a recursive web browser configured to recursively display in a browser window thereof one or more recursive webpages therein;

a network connection to one or more other computers comprising a network;

a computer memory coupled to the processor storing at least one netvariable associated with a complete Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address, including storing instructions adapted to be executed by the processor to manipulate the netvariable(s) or content therein; and

means for retrieving or storing the netvariables onto the computer or the other computer(s) over the network.

2. The recursive web browser system of claim 1, said computer memory further including executable instructions to create one or more netvariables.

3. The recursive web browser system of claim 1, further comprising means for launching one or more user-requested actions executable on the netvariable(s).

4. The recursive web browser system of claim 3, wherein the means for launching one or more user-requested actions is an action bar within a recursive browser window or an address bar located in a browser platform associated with the recursive web browser which triggers the action bar.

5. The recursive web browser system of claim 3, wherein the action is to create a net variable, to get a netvariable, to set a netvariable, to cache a netvariable, or to change a value of a netvariable.

6. The recursive web browser system of claim 5, wherein a change of a value comprises a value increment, a value decrement or an automatic update of a value from another source.

7. The recursive web browser system of claim 1, wherein the netvariable comprises an assigned name and a value pair.

8. The recursive web browser system of claim 7, wherein the netvariable further comprises a user passcode.

9. The recursive web browser system of claim 1, wherein the netvariable contains content comprising text, URL links, images, or a combination thereof or one or more ZCubes comprising the same.

10. The recursive web browser system of claim 1, wherein the netvariable is implemented as a collaborative page or window shared by two or more computers over the network.

11. The recursive web browser system of claim 10, wherein the collaborative page is assigned a unique identifier to restrict user(s) access thereto.

12. The recursive web browser system of claim 10, wherein a drag/drop action or creation of content within the page or window creates another netvariable therewithin containing the dropped or created content.

13. The recursive web browser system of claim 12, wherein a change to the content within a collaborative page or window is synchronized with other computers having access thereto.

14. The recursive web browser system of claim 10, wherein the collaboration within the page is chatting, messaging, a group discussion or other sharing of content contained within the collaborative web page.

15. The recursive web browser system of claim 14, wherein the content is stored only in cache memory.

16. The recursive web browser system of claim 10, wherein the collaboration within the window is a clipboard.

17. The recursive web browser system of claim 1, wherein the netvariables or one or more changes thereto are stored in a memory cache or on a hard disk.

18. A recursive web browser, comprising:

a recursive browser window configured to recursively display one or more recursive webpages;

means for accessing a computer memory coupled to a processor and storing at least one netvariable of claim 1 and instructions adapted to be executed by the processor to manipulate the netvariable(s) or content therein; and

means for launching one or more user-requested actions executable on the netvariable(s).

19. The recursive web browser of claim 18, further comprising:

a network connection to one or more computers comprising a network; and

means for retrieving the netvariables from or storing the netvariables onto the one or more computers.

20. The recursive web browser system of claim 18, said computer memory further storing executable instructions to create one or more netvariables.

21. The recursive web browser system of claim 18, wherein the means for launching one or more user-requested actions is an action bar within a recursive browser window or an address bar located in a browser platform associated with the recursive web browser which triggers the action bar.

22. The recursive web browser system of claim 21, wherein the action is effective to create a net variable, to get a netvariable, to set a netvariable, to cache a netvariable, or to change a value of a netvariable.

23. The recursive web browser of claim 22, wherein a change of a value comprises a value increment, a value decrement or an automatic update of a value from another source

24. A method for retrieving webpage content, comprising:

providing the recursive web browser system of claim 1;

selecting one or more netvariables each corresponding to a complete Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address from a computer memory storing the same;

mapping the selected netvariable(s) to the corresponding complete URLs; and

retrieving webpage content associated with the URL(s) and displaying the retrieved content in a recursive browser page or window.

25. The method of claim 24, further comprising:

creating one or more netvariables.

26. The method of claim 25, further comprising storing the created netvariable(s) in the computer memory.

27. The method of claim 24, further comprising:

implementing the netvariable as a collaborative page or window shared by two or more computers over the network.

28. The method of claim 27, further comprising:

assigning a unique identifier to the collaborative page to restrict user(s) access thereto.

29. The method of claim 27, further comprising:

changing content within the collaborative page or window thereby creating another netvariable containing the same therewithin.

30. The method of claim 29, further comprising:

synchronizing the change to the content with other computers having access thereto.

31. The method of claim 24, further comprising:

applying an action parameter to the netvariable.

32. The method of claim 31, wherein the action parameter is effective to create a net variable, to get a netvariable, to set a netvariable, to cache a netvariable, or to change a value of a netvariable.

33. The method of claim 32, wherein a change in value comprises incrementing a value, decrementing a value, or updating automatically a value from another source.

34. The method of claim 24, wherein the computer memory comprises one or more computers networked within the recursive browser system.

35. A computer program product having a memory, a plurality of netvariables being stored in the memory, the memory further storing a method of retrieving webpage content comprising the steps of:

mapping a selected netvariable to a corresponding complete URL; and

retrieving web page content associated with the URL(s) and displaying the retrieved content in a recursive browser page or window.
