Abstract
The on-line network access system of the present invention operates as an extension of a computer's operating system to provide a graphical interface which displays the offerings available in the on-line network. The organization of the offerings are displayed in a manner which is visually similar to the way the operating system displays the organization of the computer's local file system. Using multiple navigators, the system displays different user interfaces which correspond to different offerings on the on-line network. The system further provides a content map which illustrates the location of a user in the on-line network. In addition, the system creates 'shortcuts' which allow users of the on-line network to reference particular locations in the on-line network. A unique shortcut data structure allows the storage of the shortcuts in the user's computer or the transfer of the shortcuts to others.
