  • Dynamic context-based content generation
    Patent number: 9575943
    Abstract: A system and method for providing context-appropriate information in a computer-user interaction. A method includes receiving, by a data processing system, a request object from a user in a user session, the request object associated with data requested by the user. The method includes initializing dynamic context data according to the request object and dynamically creating customized content based on the user, the user session, and a page flow of the user in the user session. The method includes sending the customized content to be displayed to the user.
    Type: Grant

  • Unified management of contextual information for a user interaction in an HTML interface
    Patent number: 8650478
    Abstract: A system and method for context management which addresses the above problems while isolating the context management functions from the other functional code found on the server system. The context management system includes a context manager component which stores and retrieves name-value pairs describing the context in which the current request is being processed. In doing so, three types of context data are distinguished: static, dynamic, and transient. The context manager stores context data regarding each of a user's sessions and page flows, and returns context data in response to requests from the server system. Using this context data, the server system can then interact with the user in a manner appropriate to the user's context.
