Abstract

The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates rendering of a portion of viewable data. A web page, a user interface or other displayable information can be personalized such that disparate portions of the displayable information are rendered at varying scales, resolutions, sizes, etc. A personalizer can generate personalization data related to a user. The personalization data can include a display property associated with a portion of viewable data. In addition, a display engine is provided that displays the portion of viewable data based upon the personalization data and display property.

Claims

1. A system that facilitates personalizing information, comprising:

a personalization component that generates personalization data for at least one user, the personalization data includes at least one display property associated with a portion of viewable data; and

a display engine that renders the portion of viewable data based at least in part on the personalization data.

2. The system of claim 1, the personalization component includes an obtainment component that collects information related to past patterns of the at least one user.

3. The system of claim 2, the obtainment component monitors at least one of frequency of interaction with a portion of viewable data or duration of interaction with a portion of viewable data.

4. The system of claim 3, the personalization component includes an analysis component that evaluates the collected information to determine at least one user preference of the at least one user.

5. The system of claim 4, further comprising a generation component that produces personalization data based at least in part on the at least one user preference,

6. The system of claim 5, the generation component associates at least one display property with a portion of viewable data in accordance with the user preference.

7. The system of claim 1, the at least one display property includes a definition to at least one of display or not display the portion of viewable data.

8. The system of claim 1, the at least one display property includes a definition related to a size/scale factor for the portion of viewable data.

9. The system of claim 1, the at least one display property is a resolution definition that indicates a display resolution for a portion of viewable data based upon the personalization data.

10. The system of claim 1, the at least one display property is a priority definition that dictates a hierarchical organization for the portion of viewable data.

11. The system of claim 1, the at least one display property is a reflow definition that automatically defines a setting related to adjusting the portion of viewable data to display within a viewing pane.

12. The system of claim 7, further comprising a reflow component that reflows the portion of viewable data utilizing the reflow definition, the reflow is a re-structured display layout for the portion of viewable data based upon at least one of a resizing or changing of display area.

13. The system of claim 1, the display engine enables at least one of a seamless pan or a zoom interaction with the portion of the viewable data, wherein such content includes one or more planes of view.

14. The system of claim 1, the viewable data includes a portion of image data that represents a computer displayable multi-scale image with at least two substantially parallel planes of view in which a first plane and a second plane are alternatively displayable based upon a level of zoom and which are related by a pyramidal volume, the multi-scale image includes the tag with at least one display property.

15. The system of claim 14, the second plane of view displays a portion of the first plane of view at one of a different scale or a different resolution based upon the personalization data that includes at least one display property.

16. The system of claim 14, the second plane of view displays a portion of the image data that is graphically or visually unrelated to the first plane of view based upon the personalization data that includes at least one display property.

17. The system of claim 14, the second plane of view displays a portion of the image data that is disparate than the portion of the image data associated with the first plan of view based upon the personalization data that includes at least one display property.

18. A computer-implemented method that facilitates providing personalized scaling of information, comprising:

obtaining personalization data related to a user, the personalization data includes at least one display property;

evaluating a portion of viewable data with respect to the personalization data; and

rendering the portion of viewable data based upon the at least one display property included in the personalization data.

19. The method of claim 18, the view-level display property is at least one of the following:

a definition related to a size/scale factor for the portion of viewable based;

a resolution definition that indicates a display resolution for a portion of viewable data;

or

a priority definition that dictates a hierarchical organization for the portion of viewable data.

20. A computer-implemented system that facilitates rendering of a portion of viewable data, comprising:

means for monitoring past behavior of a at least one user;

means for determining at least one user preference based at least in part on past behavior;

means for producing personalization data in accordance with the user preference, the personalization data includes at least one display property corresponding to a portion of viewable data;

means for employing the personalization data to ascertain a view level of a portion of viewable data based at least in part on the display property; and

means for graphically rendering the portion of viewable data at the ascertained view-level.
