An Independent Navigation Model for Consistent and Personalized Web Navigation

There are various designs to improve website navigation. However, a fundamental issue is still not addressed in all these designs: the consistency of navigation models across different websites. In addition, almost all of the current designs are static and passive; users have to adapt their navigation behaviors to each model and follow it all the time on a particular website. The problem is not easily solved by current usability guidelines. This research proposes a new Independent Web Navigation model to address these problems. The proposed solution separates and models navigational information independently, provides a consistent and personalizable client interface for the complex and unpredictable web, and offers rich functionalities and flexibility for users to easily manage and adapt web navigation to their needs.
