A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11928322B2) discloses a novel website building system (WBS) that includes a WBS editor running on at least one processor. The editor is designed to receive edits from users on websites built with the system, featuring regular components, overlapped components, and visually obscured components in a webpage view. The system further includes an editor overlap handler to adjust the view of overlapped or visually obscured components (OOVOC) based on activation conditions, such as semantic and geometric relationships between components and predefined rules on user interactions. The webpage editing view can be in 2D, 3D, or side view, enhancing the user experience and customization options.

Moreover, the system incorporates a component manipulation handler to modify visual attributes of OOVOC, including transparency, z-order, shape modifications, zooming, resizing, moving, and more. The system also includes an input device like a mouse, trackball, or digitizer input device for user interaction. The editor overlap handler gathers information on components, analyzes relationships, and determines webpage editing views and activation conditions. The method for the WBS involves receiving user edits, adjusting OOVOC views based on semantic and geometric relationships, and predefined rules, offering a comprehensive approach to website customization and design. The method also includes storing activation rules, properties of components, and OOVOC, ensuring efficient and effective website building processes.
