INTELLIGENT BACKWARD RESOURCE NAVIGATION
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- detecting navigation to a resource, followed by detecting navigation from the resource directly to a second resource, followed by detecting navigation from the second resource directly back to the resource, followed by detecting navigation from the resource directly to a third resource that is different than the second resource;
automatically navigating directly back to the resource from a current resource while skipping intervening resources; and
wherein the method is performed by a computing device.

Abstract
A system for navigating among resources includes a target detection module detecting whether a first resource has been branched from to two other different resources and a backward navigation module operable to detect selection of a backward navigation button and cause navigation to the first resource. A method includes designating a target resource accessible via a backward navigation button in a first browser session, detecting selection of the backward navigation button in a second browser session, and navigating to the target resource in the second browser session. The method can involve detecting hovering of a pointer icon over the backward navigation button and responsively presenting a thumbnail of a resource associated with the backward navigation button.

8. A system comprising:
-
a processor; a memory including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the system for; detect navigation to a resource, and then detect navigation from the resource directly to a second resource, and then detect navigation from the second resource directly back to the resource, and then detect navigation from the resource directly to a third resource that is different than the second resource; and automatically navigate directly back to the resource from a current resource while skipping intervening resources. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. At least one computer-readable storage medium including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method comprising:
-
detecting navigation to a resource, followed by detecting navigation from the resource directly to a second resource, followed by detecting navigation from the second resource directly back to the resource, followed by detecting navigation from the resource directly to a third resource that is different than the second resource; automatically navigating directly back to the resource from a current resource while skipping intervening resources. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
