Determination and display of relevant websites

摘要

Various embodiments utilize certain events that occur within a Web browser to recognize an imminent intent, on the part of the user, to navigate to a website. Given such events, in combination with a user's past browsing patterns and history, an automated and personalized navigation solution can be provided to expedite navigation.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
tracking site visits associated with a user's visits to multiple websites, individual tracked websites having an associated relevant visit count (RVC); applying a decay algorithm to one or more relevant visit counts based at least in part on how much time has passed since a last time the relevant visit count was decayed, the decay algorithm comprising:Decay=((R-(LV-LD))R)RVCnew=Decay*RVCold where:
RVC is a calculated Relevant Visit Count;RVCold is a previously calculated Relevant Visit Count;RVCnew is a newly calculated Relevant Visit Count;R is a number of relevant days being considered, where R is a value other than 0;LV is a number of days between a current time and a last time an associated URL was visited; andLD is a number of days between a current time and a last time the decay algorithm was applied; and presenting a layout having visual indicia associated with relevant websites, as represented by the websites' associated relevant visit count.
