Itinerary list for interfaces
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for directing a computer system to create an itinerary list, the computer system having at least a display for displaying links thereon, each link of a particular site having an original function of opening and displaying a corresponding new site when selected, comprising the steps of:
- (a) placing the computer system in an itinerary mode, wherein the links displayed on the display do not have the original function of opening the new corresponding site when selected;
(b) in response to placing the computer system in the itinerary mode, displaying an itinerary list on a first portion of the display; and
(c) in response to a selection from a second portion of the display of at least one link, copying the selected link in the itinerary list, whereby the link copied in the itinerary list regains the original function, while the links in the second portion do not have the original function as long as the computer system is in the itinerary mode.

Abstract
A uniquely programmed computer system, computer-implemented method, and computer readable memory embodying computer-readable detail logic direct a computer system to create a temporary list of links. The present invention creates the list of links without having to first open/visit the corresponding site to each link in the list or having to manually enter the name and address of the sites. The method includes placing the computer system in an itinerary mode, wherein the links lose their original function of opening/visiting the corresponding site when selected. The method includes displaying the list on a first portion of the display. The method includes selecting from a second portion of the display at least one link to be placed in the list. The method includes opening/visiting and displaying the site corresponding to the selected link on the second portion of the display in response to a selection of at least one link placed in the list.
