  • Patent number: 10891423
    Abstract: A portal page may be displayed in the active area of a portable computing device display. The portable computing device may receive display data that includes original page display instructions specifying how to display a plurality of portlets within a common page. The personal computing device may identify an initial portlet of the plurality of portlets and remove portlets, other than the initial portlet, from the original page display instructions to produce modified page display instructions having at least one transition instruction. The personal computing device may scale, based upon the modified page display instructions, the initial portlet to render within the active display area; and render, based upon the scaled initial portlet, a web page within the active display area.

  • Publication number: 20200089718
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for inferred user identity in content distribution. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for inferred user identity in content distribution includes retrieving a set of data of a particular classification from a data store of a computing device of an unidentified user requesting access to content in a content distribution system. The method further includes comparing the set of data of the particular classification to known patterns of data of the particular classification corresponding to different known users. The method yet further includes inferring an identity of the unidentified user based upon at least a partial matching of the compared set of data of the particular classification and known patterns of data of the particular classification. Finally, the method includes managing user interactions of the unidentified user based upon the inferred identity.
