International ClassG06F 017/30AbstractThe invention includes an agency computer program that operates on a server of computer network that includes other servers, terminals, storage sites, and optionally any other suitable network device, such as network printers. The agency program can be understood as a program that is interdisposed between a user at a terminal and a server having information, such as an HTML page, that the user is interested in viewing. To this end, the agency captures accessing signals generated by the user at the terminal and representative of a request by the user to access a page signal, such as a HTML page, stored by the server. The agency captures the accessing signal and employs it to fetch from the server of the page signal that is of interest to the user. Optionally, the agency can request a page signal from another agency. The agency can then analyze and process the collected page signal so that some or all of the hypertext links within the page signal can be redirected to the agency. Moreover, the agency can identify whether the user has previously accessed this page signal and, if so, whether the user has made any modifications to the page signal. Instructions for making these user-generated modifications can be stored by the agency at an agency storage site. The agency can then combine the user-generated modifications with the data from the page signal to generate a new page signal that has been filtered to include the edits or modifications previously made by the user. In this way, the agency provides the user with a way to create personalized views of information stored on a network.Other References
