Abstract

An apparatus for structuring web content including a structuring web server. The structuring web server includes a data collection server, a data analyzer, and a structured content server. The data collection server is configured to collect usage data associated with at least one user. The data analyzer is configured to generate improvement data based on the usage data. The structured content server is configured to send the improvement data to a browser associated with the at least one user. The browser uses the improvement data to alter a webpage displayed to the at least one user.

Claims

1. An apparatus for structuring web content, comprising:

a structuring web server including;

a data collection server configured to collect usage data associated with at least one user;

a data analyzer configured to generate improvement data based on the usage data; and

a structured content server configured to send the improvement data to a browser associated with the at least one user,

wherein the browser uses the improvement data to alter a webpage displayed to the at least one user.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the data analyzer is further configured to generate the improvement data based on an explicit profile of the at least one user.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the browser is associated with a link highlighter configured to use the improvement data to modify links in the webpage.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the browser is associated with a content highlighter configured to use the improvement data to modify content in the webpage.

5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the browser is associated with a scroll suggestion generator configured use the improvement data to jump to at least one position in the webpage.

6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the browser is associated with a bar generator configured to use the improvement data to display at least one relevant link in a defined portion of the webpage.

7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the browser is associated with a fast forward generator configured to use the improvement data to create a link that jumps to at least one other webpage of a website, the at least one other webpage being at least two links away from the website.

8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the browser is associated with a personalized page generator configured to use the improvement data to create a new webpage, wherein the new webpage includes at least one link to a relevant webpage.

9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the browser is associated with a minified page generator configured to use the improvement data to insert at least a portion of a relevant webpage into the webpage.

10. A system for structuring web content, comprising:

a web server configured to serve webpages;

a structuring web server configured to collect usage data associated with the webpages, and generate improvement data based on the usage data; and

a client configured to display webpages altered based on the improvement data and an explicit profile of a user.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the client is configured to build the explicit profile by querying the user based on the improvement data.

12. The system of claim 10, wherein the structuring web server comprises an identification server, and wherein the client comprises an identification module, wherein the identification module enables the identification server to associate usage data with the explicit profile of the user.

13. The system of claim 10, wherein the structuring web server comprises a data analyzer configured to determine at least one of relevant links or content based on a probability of a webpage visit derived from the usage data.

14. The system of claim 10, wherein the usage data comprise at least one of website visits, time spent viewing a website, portion of website viewed, frequently visited sites, keywords, form data entered, and personal information.

15. A method for structuring web content, comprising:

collecting, at a computing device, data from at least one client;

building an explicit profile of a user;

analyzing the data from the at least one client;

generating improvement data based on the analysis; and

generating information for modifying a webpage based on the improvement data and the explicit profile.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the computing device comprises a client.

17. The method of claim 15, wherein said modifying the webpage comprises running a restructurer associated with a browser.

18. The method of claim 15, wherein said building an explicit profile comprises querying the user.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the query is based on the improvement data.

20. The method of claim 15, wherein the improvement data is based on the probability that a plurality of users associated with a particular profile will visit a particular webpage.

21. The method of claim 15, wherein said modifying the webpage comprises at least one of deleting, adding, and replacing at least a portion of a hypertext markup language file.
