eXcart technology for rearranging web information across web sites

摘要

Personalization technology, which provides the information required by individual users in a well-ordered manner, has become increasingly important due to the enormous volume of contents of the World Wide Web. Toshiba has developed eXcart as a client-side Web personalization system that enables users to collect sub-resources of different Web pages defined as Web parts from different Web sites with a drag-and-drop operation, and then merge them into an original page. Users can therefore collect their favorite articles across Web sites, or compare goods offered on different sites, in a unified page view with eXcart.
