Abstract
A browser system and corresponding method of operation has a personalized browser display mode configured for inter-operation with a cloud-based service. The display mode is automatically selected based on user information (e.g., user login) and a user access point. The system and method enables a browser application operating in conjunction with a cloud-based service to recognize a particular user logged in under a single user login, and automatically select one display mode and or user profile of a plurality of browser display modes or user profiles for that same user and user login based on which access point the user is accessing the browser from, without requiring the user to log in with different user login to effect the same change in browser display.
Claims20
A computing device implemented browser system, comprising:
- a browser application operating on the computing device and configured to receive user identifying information for a specified user and corresponding to a single user login;
- an access point determiner operating on the computing device and configured to identify access point information;
- a communication mechanism operating on the computing device enabling communication between the browser application and a cloud-based service;
- two or more personalized browser display modes for the same user and user login capable of display by the browser application on the computing device;
- wherein the cloud-based service, based at least on the user identifying information and the access point information, instructs the browser application to display a selected one of the two or more personalized browser display modes for the same user and user login.
A method of implementing a browser system using a computing device, comprising:
- a cloud-based service receiving automatically determined access point information from a browser application on the computing device;
- and
- the cloud-based service instructing the browser application to display a selected one of two or more personalized browser display modes for a same user specific login based on the access point information.
A computing device implemented browser system, comprising:
- a browser application operating on the computing device configured to receive user identifying information;
- an access point determiner operating on the computing device configured to identify access point information;
- a communication mechanism operating on the device enabling communication between the browser application and a cloud-based service;
- at least two different personalized user profiles associated with a single user and user login;
- wherein the cloud-based service, based at least on the user identifying information and the access point information, determines and instructs the browser application to implement a selected one of the at least two different personalized user profiles associated with the same user and user login.
