Abstract

A system is provided for presenting users with relevant personalized and/or customized information whenever a visitor visits a website or performs an internet search. The described system described herein advantageously provides for the saving (clipping) of website information as an integrated part of a visitor's browsing experience. The content of the website information that is clipped may be advantageously controlled by a website owner/publisher. Using website clips, identified as “notes,” previously stored by a visitor, currently displayed website content may be accordingly modified in connection with identified relevant notes and/or a notification may be displayed on the current website for a particular visitor identifying stored relevant notes of the visitor.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for using a processor to control information stored in response to a content clipping process on a website, the method comprising:
configuring an embedded button on the website that activates the content clipping process when the button is actuated by a visitor to the website, wherein the embedded button is presented on the website independently of the user interacting with the website;
configuring at least one parameter associated with the embedded button, wherein the at least one parameter includes a content parameter for identifying content on the website in response to activation of the content clipping process, the content being stored in a presentable form in a database that is provided as a plurality of personal notes previously stored and maintained by the visitor; and
executable code provided at the website causing at least some content on the website, different from the URL of the website, to be stored in a presentable form in response to actuating the embedded button, the content that is stored including content on the website that is independent of the embedded button.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the presentable form of the content on the website that is identified in response to activation of the content clipping process is controlled by a site owner of the website by controlling the at least one parameter.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the database is maintained by a service to which a visitor to the website subscribes.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the visitor activates the embedded button on the website to activate the content clipping process and store the presentable form of the content in the database.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the presentable form of the stored content in the database is subsequently accessible by the visitor.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one parameter further includes a parameter for organizing the content in the presentable form that is stored in the database.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein configuring the button includes configuring visual characteristics of the button.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the presentable form of the content is the same as a printable view of the content.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one parameter includes the content parameter and at least one other parameter for organizing the content.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the at least one other parameter is controllable by a visitor to the website, and wherein the content parameter is exclusively controlled by a site owner of the website.

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing software for controlling information stored in response to a content clipping process on a website, the software comprising:
executable code that configures an embedded button on the website that activates the content clipping process when the button is actuated by a visitor to the website, wherein the embedded button is presented on the website independently of the user interacting with the website;
executable code that configures at least one parameter associated with the button, wherein the at least one parameter includes a content parameter for identifying content on the website in response to activation of the content clipping process, the content being stored in a presentable form in a database that is provided as a plurality of personal notes previously stored and maintained by the visitor; and
executable code provided at the website that causes at least some content on the website, different from the URL of the website, to be stored in a presentable form in response to actuating the embedded button, wherein the content that is stored includes content on the website that is independent of the embedded button.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the presentable form of the content on the website that is identified in response to activation of the content clipping process is controlled by a site owner of the website by controlling the at least one parameter.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the database is maintained by a service to which a visitor to the website subscribes.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the visitor activates the embedded button on the website to activate the content clipping process and store the presentable form of the content in the database.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the presentable form of the stored content in the database is subsequently accessible by the visitor.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the at least one parameter further includes a parameter for organizing the content in the presentable form that is stored in the database.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein configuring the button includes configuring visual characteristics of the button.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the presentable form of the content is the same as a printable view of the content.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the at least one parameter includes the content parameter and at least one other parameter for organizing the content.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the at least one other parameter is controllable by a visitor to the website, and wherein the content parameter is exclusively controlled by a site owner of the website.

21. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing an indication of material previously clipped from the website.

22. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , further comprising:
executable code that provides an indication of material previously clipped from the website.

23. The method of claim 1 , wherein the executable code provided at the website includes Java code.

24. The method of claim 11 , wherein the executable code provided at the website includes Java code.
