DEFERRED DECISIONS IN WEB BROWSER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17808885 titled 'DEFERRED DECISIONS IN WEB BROWSER

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for deferring interactions with web data by using a browser-based notes application. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method starts with a web browser displaying a web page.
  • When a user selects a quick note link within the web browser, the browser receives a payload containing note properties.
  • Based on this payload, a browser-based notes application is launched within the web browser.
  • The payload is transmitted to the notes application, which creates a new note.
  • The note is then displayed within the web browser alongside the web page.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Enhancing productivity by allowing users to quickly take notes while browsing the web.
  • Facilitating organization and information management by providing a seamless way to capture and store web-based information.
  • Supporting collaboration by enabling users to easily share and collaborate on web-based notes.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Users often need to take notes while browsing the web, but switching between different applications can be cumbersome and disrupt the workflow.
  • Existing note-taking applications may not integrate well with web browsers, making it difficult to capture and reference web-based information efficiently.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Streamlines the note-taking process by eliminating the need to switch between different applications.
  • Improves organization and accessibility of web-based information by keeping notes within the same browser environment.
  • Enhances collaboration by allowing users to share and collaborate on web-based notes in real-time.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods for deferring interactions with web data. An example computer-implemented method includes displaying, by a web browser, a web page; receiving, by a web browser, a selection of a quick note link displayed within the web browser; receiving a payload of the quick note link, the payload including note properties for generating a note; based on receiving the payload of the quick note link, launching a browser-based notes application within the web browser; transmitting the payload to the browser-based notes application to cause a new note to be created; and displaying the note within the web browser concurrently with the web page.
