Abstract: A portal summary controller stores detected usage of at least one instance of at least one portlet application within at least one portal page at each of a plurality of different times. Responsive to a trigger to generate a summary portal page, the portal summary controller dynamically creates a summary portal page displaying a separate instance of the at least one portlet application for at least one of each of the plurality of different times specified according to the separate usage stored at each of the plurality of different times, such that the summary portal page provides a summary of at least a selection of previous usage of the at least one portal page. The trigger to generate a summary portal page includes a user selecting which previous stored portal usage, including usage of individual portlet applications, to summarize in the summary portal page, such that the summary portal page renders a summary of only that content selected by the user.

The portal summary controller dynamically creates a summary portal page displaying a separate instance of the at least one portlet application for at least one of each of the plurality of different times specified according to the detected usage separately stored at each of the plurality of different times, wherein the summary portal page provides a summary of at least a selection of a previous usage of the at least one portal page comprising each separate instance of the at least one portlet application that functions as if placed on the at least one portal page.

Abstract: A portal summary controller monitors usage metadata indicating current usage of at least one portlet within at least one portal page for one of multiple events specified to trigger storage of the usage metadata. Responsive to detecting one of the multiple events within the usage metadata which triggers storage, the portal summary controller stores the detected usage metadata at a current time of at least one instance of at least one portlet application within the at least one portal page.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for providing control over personalization of portal content. The mechanisms provide new tag types and management of these tags to be used in association with a portal application. Applications of the new tag types comprise filtering of new content in the form of recommendations or search results and filtering of accessed content in the form of session summaries. Users may specify user context or state via one or more profile tags or enhanced profile attributes. Users may generate new rules for displayed portlets or portlet recommendation lists. User defined rules may be based on existing available rule-building capabilities and user-defined context tags or enhanced profile attributes and private or public portlet or portal page tags. The portal summary service may configure generation of portal session summary data according to user-defined context, portlet or portal tags, and rules.
