Removing secondary content from electronic page screenshots
The granted patent US12045441B1 describes an electronic device equipped with a display, input devices, and memory that stores an application for presenting electronic pages. The application allows users to capture screenshots of content that spans multiple screens. Upon receiving a screenshot request, the device identifies primary visual content and secondary visual content on the electronic page. It then renders a reduced content version of the page, excluding the secondary content, and determines the number of screens required to display this reduced content. If the number of screens is within a specified threshold, the device generates a static screenshot that fits entirely on the display. If the number exceeds the threshold, a dynamic screenshot is created that allows for automatic panning or scrolling through the content.
Additionally, the patent outlines various functionalities of the device, including the identification of graphical images and textual content within the primary visual area, ensuring legibility by adjusting zoom sizes and font sizes as necessary. The secondary content may include advertisements, reviewer comments, or related page referrals. The device is designed to enhance user experience by providing clear and accessible content, whether through static or dynamic screenshots, while maintaining the integrity of the primary visual information. This innovation aims to streamline the process of capturing and viewing content that is otherwise cumbersome to navigate on a single screen.
