Automatic categorization of bookmarks in a web browser

摘要

A web browser that automatically categorizes bookmarks. When a page to be bookmarked is identified, the web browser compares a property of the identified page with properties of pages already saved as bookmarks. If the web browser finds another page which is a bookmark that is “similar” to the identified page, it adds the URL of the identified page as a bookmark. On the other hand, if the URLs for the two pages are exactly the same, the URL of the identified page is not added as a bookmark. Similarity may be defined as commonality in some portion of the URLs for the pages or commonality in textual information associated with the pages.
