- displaying, using one or more processors associated with the one or more devices, a plurality of interactive links on a display device;
detecting, using the one or more processors, a particular user input;
assigning, using the one or more processors and based on detecting the particular user input, one or more characters to one or more of the plurality of interactive links displayed on the display device,a different character, of the one or more characters, being assigned to each respective interactive link of the one or more of the plurality of interactive links, without user input identifying the different character or the respective interactive link;
displaying, using the one or more processors and after assigning the one or more characters based on detecting the particular user input, the one or more characters, with the one or more of the plurality of interactive links, on the display device,the one or more characters being removed from the display device when the particular user input is detected after displaying the one or more characters;
detecting, using the one or more processors, input associated with a particular character of the one or more characters; and
retrieving, using the one or more processors and based on detecting the input associated with the particular character, a web page associated with an interactive link, of the one or more of the plurality of interactive links, to which the particular character is assigned.

8. A system comprising:
-
a memory to store instructions; and a processor to execute the instructions in the memory to; display a plurality of interactive links on a display device, detect a particular user input, assign a plurality of characters to the plurality of interactive links based on detecting the particular user input, a different character, of the plurality of characters, being assigned to each respective interactive link, of the plurality of interactive links, without user input identifying the different character or the respective interactive link, display, on the display device and after assigning the plurality of characters to the plurality of interactive links, the plurality of characters with the plurality of interactive links, the plurality of characters being removed from the display device when the particular user input is detected after displaying the plurality of characters, and retrieve a web page associated with a particular interactive link, of the plurality of interactive links, to which a particular character, of the plurality of characters, is assigned, the web page being retrieved when another user input, associated with the particular character, is detected. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
-
one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to display a plurality of interactive elements on a display device; one or more instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to detect a particular user input; one or more instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to assign characters to the plurality of interactive elements, a different character, of the characters, being assigned to each respective interactive element, of the plurality of interactive elements, without user input identifying the different character or the respective interactive element; one or more instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to display, on the display device and based on detecting the particular user input, the characters with the plurality of interactive elements; one or more instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to remove the characters from the display device when the particular user input is detected after displaying the characters; and one or more instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to retrieve a web page associated with an interactive element, of the plurality of interactive elements, to which a particular character, of the characters, is assigned, the web page being retrieved when a user input, associated with the particular character, is detected. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
