Rules for navigating to next content in a browser
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- analyzing browsing history information associated with multiple users;
using analyzed browsing history information to develop rules for exposing next content across multiple client devices, at least some of the rules defining recommended areas on a webpage, rather than recommended links, as next content, wherein the rules include;
general rules that are globally applicable across multiple domains; and
specific rules that are domain specific; and
providing developed rules to the multiple client devices, the developed rules being configured to be applied in an ordered manner in which;
website owner-specified rules, if any, are first applied;
the specific rules, if there are no website owner-specified rules, are next applied; and
the general rules, if there are no specific rules and no owner-specified rules, are next applied.

Abstract
In one or more embodiments, a flip ahead input, such as a gesture, provides touch users with an ability to easily navigate various websites. The flip ahead input can be utilized to advance to the next portion of relevant content. In at least some embodiments, the flip ahead input resides in the form of a forward swipe. In one or more embodiments, the flip ahead input is configured to be utilized in association with an aggregated browsing history from multiple users. The aggregated browsing history is analyzed to generate rules that are then downloaded to a client device and used by a suitably-configured web browser to ascertain the next portion of content when a flip ahead input is received.
