Patent ID: 8656295

Claim:
A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving input to adjust a user defined bounding box that encompasses a portion of a web page, the bounding box having user-drawn boundaries and including a portion of a first object rendered in the portion of the web page; automatically determining that a first edge of the bounding box should coincide with a boundary of a second object and not a boundary of the first object, based at least in part on the portion of the first object encompassed in the bounding box, including: determining a magnitude of the first portion of the first object; and determining that the magnitude does not satisfy a threshold; automatically adjusting the first edge of the bounding box to coincide with the boundary of the second object, not the boundary of the first object, the adjusting resulting in the bounding box encompassing a portion of the second object; and designating contents of the adjusted bounding box, including the portion of the second object, as a web clipping, where the method is performed by one or more processors.
