Abstract:
An improved method for selecting and retrieving frequently utilized data associated with network locations within a computer network, comprising the steps of:storing identifiers for frequently utilized network locations in a recirculating list, such that said recirculating list provides said identifiers with a sequential order;designating one of said identifiers as a next network location;displaying said identifier for said next network location in a user interface;thereafter, receiving a single user input that activates a mechanism for automatically accessing said next network location identified by said identifier displayed in said user interface; andin response to receiving said single user input:automatically retrieving data from said next network location; andautomatically circulating said recirculating list according to said sequential order to cause a successive one of said identifiers to be displayed as said next network location, such that a user may retrieve data from a succession of network locations according to said sequential order of said recirculating list by repeatedly providing said single user input.
