主权项 1. A method, comprising: presenting a first page of visual information at a display; identifying a portion of the presented visual information for conversion to a persistent overlay; converting the identified portion to the persistent overlay, wherein the persistent overlay corresponds to information that remains accessible on the first page and, at least in part, at a plurality of subsequently presented pages of visual information; adding the visual information corresponding to the persistent overlay with the visual information of the first page by overlaying a corresponding portion of the first page with the persistent overlay, wherein at least some visual information displayed as the first page and overlaid by the persistent overlay remains viewable; in response to updating the display to present a second page of the plurality of subsequently presented pages, automatically overlaying a portion of the second page with the persistent overlay such that at least some visual information displayed as part of the second page, and overlaid by the persistent overlay, remains viewable, wherein: the persistent overlay is rendered in accordance with a relative importance of the persistent overlay to the second page;the second page and the persistent overlay are presented as a unified visual field; andthe information presented as the unified visual field includes an area of the second page presenting an application icon arranged to initiate execution of a corresponding application, the application processing data associated with the persistent overlay corresponding to the second page.
