ABSTRACT:
A technique is provided for passively browsing the Internet or an intranet by displaying images from web pages on a user's display screen. The user can select an image by clicking on it using a pointer manipulated by a mouse or trackball. A mapping list is maintained that maps the image universal resource locator (URL) for each image to the URL of the web page containing the image. Using the mapping list, the user's web browser can be driven to the web page associated with the image selected by the user. A group of web pages may be defined based on the results of a search, by entering URLs for sites or web pages of interest, using a bookmarks file, based on the currently displayed web page in a web browser, or by determining which web pages are associated with the images stored in an image cache.
