Patent ID: 8595613

Claim:
A method for modifying graphical user interface behavior according to element pre-classification, the method comprising: fetching and analyzing content page code for a content page to determine which page elements within the content page code link to an associated media object; generating a set of pre-classified element identifiers for the page elements by pre-classifying the page elements that link to the associated media object; requesting, via a web interface of the user system, the content page from a content server over a network; receiving the content page code for the content page at the web interface in response to the requesting step; determining that the content page is associated with the set of pre-classified element identifiers; requesting the set of pre-classified element identifiers in response to determining that the content page is associated with the set of pre-classified element identifiers; receiving the set of pre-classified element identifiers in response to the request for the set of pre-classified element identifiers; and executing a script at the web interface, so that detecting a user interaction with a page element of the content page via a graphical user interface causes the web interface to: determine whether an identifier of the interacted page element is one of the set of pre-classified element identifiers of the content page indicating that the interacted page element links to an associated media object at a network location separate from the content page; and modify the graphical user interface by displaying, in response to detecting the user interaction when the identifier of the interacted page element is one of the set of pre-classified element identifiers of the webpage, a graphical element in graphical association with the interacted page element, the graphical element including information relating to the media object linked to by the interacted page element.
