Abstract

Suggesting navigation to a user between multiple spots in a document by creating a hotspot graph based on a list of hotspots in the document which are frequently traveled to or edited by the user, monitoring user actions within the document and storing each action as a history element in a repository; and if the user is detected as navigating away from a hotspot in the document or from a spot which is not contained in a hotspot to a hotspot, displaying a list of hotspots in which the user would travel to within the document, ordered based on the probability associated with arcs between the nodes of the hotspot graph.
