SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DISPLAYING PREVIEW DATA
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for displaying preview data on an electronic device, the method comprising:
- providing for display source content on the electronic device, the source content comprising an access point configured to link to target content, the target content being provided by a host that is remote from the electronic device;
receiving input from a user for accessing the target content via the access point;
obtaining preview data of the target content in response to the user input, wherein the preview data corresponds to an icon for identifying the host of the target content or to a screenshot corresponding to the target content, and wherein the preview data is obtained from a source separate from the host of the target content; and
providing for display a stack of items on the electronic device, wherein at least one item of the stack of items is overlaid on top of another item of the stack of items, and wherein at least one item of the stack of items comprises the preview data of the target content.

Abstract
Systems and methods for displaying preview data on an electronic device are provided. In some aspects, a method includes providing for display source content on the electronic device. The source content includes an access point configured to link to target content. The target content is provided by a host that is remote from the electronic device. The method also includes receiving input from a user for accessing the target content via the access point, and obtaining preview data of the target content in response to the user input. The preview data is obtained prior to a connection being established between the electronic device and the host of the target content. The method also includes providing for display a stack of items on the electronic device. At least one of the stack of items comprises the preview data of the target content.

27. A non-transitory machine-readable medium encoded with executable instructions for displaying preview data on an electronic device, the instructions comprising code for:
-
providing for display source content on the electronic device, the source content comprising an access point configured to link to target content, the target content being provided by a host that is remote from the electronic device; receiving input from a user for accessing the target content via the access point; obtaining preview data of the target content in response to the user input, wherein the preview data corresponds to an icon for identifying the host of the target content or to a screenshot corresponding to the target content, and wherein the preview data is obtained from a source separate from the host of the target content, wherein the connection is established to transfer the target content from the host to the electronic device; providing for display a stack of items on the electronic device, wherein at least one item of the stack of items is overlaid on top of another item of the stack of items, and wherein at least one item of the stack of items comprises the preview data; allowing the user to select the at least one item of the stack of items comprising the preview data of the target content; obtaining the target content in response to the selection of the at least one item of the stack of items comprising the preview data; and providing for display the target content on the electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29)
