Computer implemented methods and apparatus for dynamic windowing in user interfaces
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method of rendering information, the method comprising:
- providing link data identifying a plurality of link including a first link linked with a first identifiable portion of content of a page and a second link linked with a second identifiable portion of the content of the page;
causing the page of content and a link presentation including the link data to be displayed in a user interface on a display of a computing device, each link in the link presentation being selectable to cause a respective identifiable portion of the content on the page to be displayed in the user interface, the user interface having a first state in which a first view of the page of content is displayed and the link presentation is displayed in a region of the user interface, the link presentation remaining displayed in the region of the user interface when the user interface has a second state in which a second view of the page of content is displayed, the second view being different from the first view; and
causing, responsive to a selection of the first link , the user interface to be updated to display the first view of the page of content, the first view including the first identifiable portion of the content.

Abstract
Disclosed are implementations of methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable storage media for rendering information. In some implementations, user interface data including content capable of being displayed on a page is received. A dynamic window including one or more link linked with respective identifiable portions of the content on the page can be generated. The page of content and the dynamic window can be displayed in a user interface on a display of a computing device. The user interface can have a first state in which a first view of the page of content is displayed and a second state in which a second view of the page is displayed, where the second view is different from the first view. The dynamic window is capable of remaining displayed independent of a change of the user interface from the first state to the second state.
