Appeal No. 2001-1604
Application No. 08/785,912
The invention is directed to surfing the Internet. In
particular, in a client web browser, an html is read to identify
an entry for a link which is marked for pre-loading. In response
to the identification of that link marked for pre-loading,
another html, along with any graphical material associated with
the another html, is automatically loaded into a local memory
device. The automatic loading occurs without the another link
being selected by a user but, when the user subsequently does
select this another link that was pre-loaded, the html and
associated graphics are available at the user’s local system
without the delay normally required to download the html and
associated graphics.
Representative independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows:
1. A client web browser comprising:
means for reading an html to identify an entry for a link
which is marked for pre-loading; and
means, responsive to identification of said link marked
for pre-loading, for automatically loading another html and
associated graphics, if any graphics corresponding to said link
into a memory device local to said client web browser, said
automatic loading occurring without said link being selected by a
user of said client web browser.
