Abstract

A computer system configured to integrate a plurality of websites is provided. The computer system includes a memory, a display, and at least one processor coupled to the memory and the display. In one example, the system comprises a monitoring component executed by the at least one processor and configured to analyze web content generated by a website provider and detect one or more identified elements within the web content. The system may also comprise a converting component executed by the at least one processor and configured to, responsive to detection of the one or more identified elements by the monitoring component, convert at least one portion of the web content into converted content, wherein the at least one processor is configured to display, in the display, the converted content and at least one other portion of the web content.

Claims

1. A computer system, comprising:

a first network connection to establish a first communication with a website provider server;

a second network connection to establish a second communication with a consumer computer;

a monitoring component to monitor a geocoded indicator associated with web content generated by the website provider server for the consumer computer;

a converting component to convert, based on the geocoded indicator, at least one portion of the web content into converted content;

a transmitter to transmit, via the second network connection, the converted content to the consumer computer.

2. The computer system of claim 1, wherein:

the at least one portion of the web content includes a representation of a first currency and the converted content includes a representation of a second currency different from the first currency.

3. The computer system of claim 1, wherein:

the web content includes a representation of a first parcel delivery service and the converted content includes a representation of a second parcel delivery service different from the first parcel delivery service.

4. The computer system of claim 1, wherein:

the monitoring component is further configured to detect the geocoded indicator of a geolocation of the consumer computer.

5. The computer system of claim 4, wherein:

the converting component is further configured to convert the at least one portion of the web content into content configured for the geolocation.

6. The computer system of claim 5, wherein:

the content configured for the geolocation includes an identifier of a parcel delivery service that services the geolocation.

7. The computer system of claim 5, wherein:

the content configured for the geolocation includes a representation of currency tenderable at the geolocation.

8. The computer system of claim 5, wherein:

the content configured for the geolocation includes a representation of a welcome mat.

9. The computer system of claim 8, wherein:

the representation of the welcome mat includes at least one of an identifier of a language, an identifier of a currency, and an indicator of shipping preferences.

10. The computer system of claim 9, wherein:

the indicator of shipping preferences includes an indicator of a preferred destination.

11. The computer system of claim 10, wherein:

the indicator of the preferred destination includes an indicator of at least one of an occupiable structure, a kiosk, and a locker.

12. The computer system of claim 1, wherein:

the geocoded indicator includes text formatted as a first currency.

13. The computer system of claim 1, wherein:

the geocoded indicator includes text formatted as a second currency different from the first currency.

14. The system of claim 1, wherein the converting component is further configured to convert the at least one portion of the web content to match a format and style of the web content of the website provider.

15. The computer system of claim 1, wherein:

the monitoring component is further configured to detect executable content in the web content and the converting component is further configured to reconfigure the at least one portion of the web content to execute at least one process in place of the executable content.

16. The computer system of claim 15, wherein:

the executable content is configured to execute a transaction in a first currency and the computer system is configured to execute the transaction in a second currency different from the first currency.

17. The computer system of claim 1, wherein:

the converting component is further configured to remove part of the at least one portion of the web content and replace the part with the converted content.

18. The computer system of claim 17, wherein:

the part includes an identifier of a first parcel delivery service and the converted content includes an identifier of a second parcel delivery service different from the first parcel delivery service.

19. The computer system of claim 4, wherein:

the monitoring component is further configured to detect at least one action to change the geolocation and the converting component is configured to convert the at least one portion of the web content into the converted content responsive to detection of the at least one action.

20. A method of augmenting website provider content, comprising:

establishing, via a first network connection, a first communication with a website provider server;

establishing, via a second network connection, a second communication with a consumer computer;

monitoring, via a monitoring component, a geocoded indicator associated with web content generated by a website provider server;

converting, based on the geocoded indicator, at least one portion of the web content into converted content; and

transmitting, via the second network connection, the converted content to the consumer computer.

21. The method of augmenting website provider content according to claim 20, wherein:

the at least one portion of the web content includes a representation of a first currency and converting the at least one portion of web content includes converting the representation of the first currency into a representation of a second currency different from the first currency.

22. The method of augmenting website provider content according to claim 20, wherein:

the web content includes a representation of a first parcel delivery service and converting the at least one portion of web content includes generating a representation of a second parcel delivery service different from the first parcel delivery service.

23. The method of claim 20, further comprising converting the at least one portion of the web content to match a format and style of the web content of the website provider.

24. The method of augmenting website provider content according to claim 20, further comprising:

detecting the geocoded indicator of a geolocation of the consumer computer.

25. The method of augmenting website provider content according to claim 24, further comprising:

converting the at least one portion of the web content into content configured for the geolocation.

26. The method of augmenting website provider content according to claim 25, wherein:

converting the at least one portion of web content includes identifying an identifier of a parcel delivery service that services to the geolocation.

27. The method of augmenting website provider content according to claim 26, wherein:

converting the at least one portion of web content includes generating a representation of currency tenderable at the geolocation.

28. The method of augmenting website provider content according to claim 20, wherein:

detecting the one or more identified elements includes detecting text formatted as a first currency.

29. The method of augmenting website provider content according to claim 28, wherein:

converting at least one portion of the web content includes converting the text formatted as a first currency into text formatted as a second currency different from the first currency.

30. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for augmenting website provider content, the instructions being executable by at least one processor of a computer system, the instructions instructing the computer system to:

establish, via a first network connection, a first communication with a website provider server;

establish, via a second network connection, a second communication with a consumer computer;

monitor, via a monitoring component, web content generated by a website provider server;

convert, based on the geocoded indicator, at least a portion of the web content into converted content; and

transmit, via the second network connection, the converted content to the consumer computer.
