Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for Web page view customization. In an embodiment of the invention, a Web page view customization method includes receiving a request to load a Web page of a multiplicity of components by an end user and retrieving for the end user, a previously stored set of the components of the Web page. The method additionally includes rendering the Web page in a browser window of a Web browser of the end user so as to include based upon the previously stored set, only those of the multiplicity of components selected for inclusion while omitting from display in the Web page those of the multiplicity of components selected for exclusion.

Web page view customization

A method of identifying targeted content includes deploying a plurality of internet bots configured to interact with content sources using predetermined patterns and profiles, wherein each individual internet bot of the plurality of internet bots includes at least one characteristic that is unique relative to the rest of the plurality of internet bots, collecting cause and effect data related to cause and effect of user interactions with content sources, receiving the cause and effect data collected by the plurality of internet bots, correlating user interactions with content sources using the cause and effect data collected by the plurality of internet bots, and identifying, how content is targeted to users by content sources from the correlating.

Targeted content identification and tracing

Approaches presented herein enable improving electronic (e.g., GPS) navigation for a user operating a vehicle based on feedback from the user. More specifically, a verbal comment is obtained from the user and is analyzed for a navigation instruction delivery preference. A profile associated with navigation of the vehicle, which can include a user profile, a location profile, or an ambient environment profile, is modified based on the navigation instruction delivery preference. Based on the profile associated with navigation of the vehicle, a navigation instruction is synthesized and provided to the user. A dialogue can be solicited with the user to obtain additional comments from the user, based upon which the profile associated with navigation of the vehicle can be further modified.

Route navigation based on user feedback

Auxiliary navigational assistance is provided by determining, by one or more processors, that a user traveling along a specified travel route with the assistance of a navigation system can use additional navigational assistance at a particular region of the specified travel route. Based on the determining, the one or more processors assign an unmanned vehicle to assist the user in traveling through the particular region along the specified travel route. Further, the one or more processors provide one or more auxiliary instructions to the user's navigation system directing the user to reference the unmanned vehicle within the particular region to assist the user in traveling through the particular region along the specified travel route. In operation, the particular region overlaps only a portion of the specified travel route.

Auxiliary navigational assistance

Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for generating an electronic communication response for a mobile electronic device in an offline state. A communication server detects various offline conditions, such as explicitly powered off, low/dead battery, dead zone location, and/or other reasons. A sending electronic device, attempting to establish communication with a receiving electronic device that is offline receives an automated reply message from the communication server, indicating that the intended receiving electronic device is offline. In embodiments, an estimated online restoration time for the receiving electronic device is derived and included in the automated reply message. Additionally, a reason for the offline condition such as explicitly powered off, low/dead battery, dead zone location, and/or other reason may also be included in the automated reply message.

Preemptive responses based on service availability

Disclosed embodiments provide a system and method for performing a web conferencing presentation pre-staging. In a web conference with multiple participants and various presenters, each presenter is able to view a live presentation that is currently being presented to the participants, as well as view her own presentation in a pre-staged presentation mode. The test presentation mode allows a presenter to see how the presentation will appear to others, and provides an opportunity to test features such as audio, animation, time delay, lighting, and other important factors. When the current live presentation ends, the presentation that is in test presentation mode is switched to live presentation mode for viewing by the participants of the web conference.
