Abstract

Methods and systems may provide for identifying a usage pattern for web content having a plurality of components and receiving a web response from a server, wherein the web response includes the web content. Additionally, a client-side override of the load order of the plurality of components may be conducted based on the usage pattern. In one example, a cookie is generated based on the usage pattern, wherein the cookie is used to conduct the client-side override.

First claim

We claim:

1. A computer program product comprising:
a non-transitory computer readable storage medium; and
computer usable code stored on the non-transitory computer readable storage medium, where, if executed by a processor, the computer usable code causes a computer to:
identify a usage pattern for web content having a plurality of components, wherein the usage pattern is to include one or more of a user-specific visitation history, a statistical visitation history, user role data, time data, location data, attention area data, device type data and browser type data;
generate a cookie based on the usage pattern;
store the usage pattern to a learning repository;
receive a web response from a server, wherein the web response is to include the web content;
use the cookie to conduct a client-side override of a load order of the plurality of components, wherein the client-side override of the load order comprises at least one of adjusting the order in which the plurality of components are requested from the server or instructing the server to load the plurality of components in a particular order; and
update the usage pattern in the learning repository based on one or more subsequent accesses of the web content.

2. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, causes a computer to:
determine relative weights for the plurality of components based on the usage pattern; and
store the relative weights to the cookie.

3. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, causes a computer to:
receive configuration input via a user interface; and
determine whether to conduct the client-side override based on the configuration input.

4. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, causes a computer to override a relative display position of the plurality of components based on one or more of the device type data and the browser type data.

5. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the client-side override is to be conducted with respect to the load order of one or more of a widget, a portlet and a gadget.

6. A computer implemented method comprising:
identifying a usage pattern for web content having a plurality of components, wherein the usage pattern includes one or more of a user-specific visitation history, a statistical visitation history, user role data, time data, location data, attention area data, device type data and browser type data;
generating a cookie based on the usage pattern;
storing the usage pattern to a learning repository;
receiving a web response from a server, wherein the web response includes the web content;
using the cookie to conduct a client-side override of a load order of the plurality of components, wherein the client-side override of the load order comprises at least one of adjusting the order in which the plurality of components are requested from the server or instructing the server to load the plurality of components in a particular order; and
updating the usage pattern in the learning repository based on one or more subsequent accesses of the web content.

7. The method of claim 6 , further including:
determining relative weights for the plurality of components based on the usage pattern; and
storing the relative weights to the cookie.

8. The method of claim 6 , further including:
receiving configuration input via a user interface; and
determining whether to conduct the client-side override based on the configuration input.

9. The method of claim 6 , further including overriding a relative display position of the plurality of components based on one or more of the device type data and the browser type data.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the client-side override is conducted with respect to one or more of a widget, a portlet and gadget.

11. A computer program product comprising:
a non-transitory computer readable storage medium; and
computer usable code stored on the non-transitory computer readable storage medium, where, if executed by a processor, the computer usable code causes a computer to:
identify a usage pattern for web content having a plurality of components;
receive a web response from a server, wherein the web response is to include the web content; and
conduct a client-side override of a load order of the plurality of components based on the usage pattern, wherein the client-side override of the load order comprises at least one of adjusting the order in which the plurality of components are requested from the server or instructing the server to load the plurality of components in a particular order.

12. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, causes a computer to generate a cookie based on the usage pattern, and wherein the cookie is to be used to conduct the client-side override.

13. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, causes a computer to store the usage pattern to a learning repository.

14. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, causes a computer to update the usage pattern in the learning repository based on one or more subsequent accesses of the web content.

15. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, causes a computer to determine relative weights for the plurality of components based on the usage pattern, and wherein the relative weights are used to conduct the client-side override.

16. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, causes a computer to:
receive configuration input via a user interface; and
determine whether to conduct the client-side override based on the configuration input.

17. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the usage pattern is to include one or more of a user-specific visitation history and a statistical visitation history.

18. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the usage pattern is to include one or more of user role data, time data, location data, attention area data, device type data and browser type data.

19. The computer program product of claim 18 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, causes a computer to override a relative display position of the plurality of components based on one or more of the device type data and the browser type data.

20. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the client-side override is to be conducted with respect to one or more of a widget, a portlet and a gadget.
