Abstract

According to some embodiments, a method and apparatus are provided to receive a request to view a web page from a mobile device, determine characteristics associated with the user, select a web page layout based on the determined characteristics, and provide the web page based on the selected web page layout to the mobile device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
receiving a request from a mobile device to view a web page that comprises a plurality of iViews;
determining, via a processor, a characteristic associated with the mobile device and a screen resolution of the mobile device;
creating, based on a cascading style sheet, a web page layout variant comprising the plurality of iViews, by (i) repositioning iViews of most importance to a user of the mobile device, based on the screen resolution of the mobile device and an importance of each of the plurality of iViews to the user, to an area of the web page most easily viewed on the mobile device wherein the iViews of most importance are associated with the characteristic and (ii) repositioning iViews of least importance, based on the screen resolution of the mobile device and the importance of each of the plurality of iViews to the user, to an area of the web page that requires the user of the mobile device to scroll to view the iViews of least importance; and
providing the web page based on the web page layout variant to the mobile device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the characteristic comprises:
a type of mobile device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the characteristic comprises:
a component of the mobile device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the characteristic comprises:
a country where the mobile device is currently located.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the characteristic comprises a geographical area in which the mobile device is located and one or more of the plurality of iViews associated with the geographical area comprise the iViews of most importance.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the web page layout variant is further based on a role of the user of the mobile device.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method, the method comprising:
receiving a request from a mobile device to view a web page that comprises a plurality of iViews;
determining, via a processor, a characteristic associated with the mobile device and a screen resolution of the mobile device;
creating, based on a cascading style sheet, a web page layout variant comprising the plurality of iViews, by (i) repositioning iViews of most importance to a user of the mobile device, based on the screen resolution of the mobile device and an importance of each of the plurality of iViews to the user, to an area of the web page most easily viewed on the mobile device wherein the iViews of most importance are associated with the characteristic and (ii) repositioning iViews of least importance, based on the screen resolution of the mobile device and the importance of each of the plurality of iViews to the user, to an area of the web page that requires the user of the mobile device to scroll to view the iViews of least importance; and
providing the web page based on the web page layout variant to the mobile device.

8. The medium of claim 7 , wherein the characteristic comprises:
a type of mobile device.

9. The medium of claim 7 , wherein the characteristic comprises:
a component of the mobile device.

10. The medium of claim 7 , wherein the characteristic comprises:
a country where the mobile device is currently located.

11. An apparatus comprising:
a processor;
a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by the processor perform a method, the method comprising:
receiving a request from a mobile device to view a web page that comprises a plurality of iViews;
determining, via the processor, a characteristic associated with the mobile device and a screen resolution of the mobile device;
creating, based on a cascading style sheet, a web page layout variant comprising the plurality of iViews, by (i) repositioning iViews of most importance to a user of the mobile device, based on the screen resolution of the mobile device and an importance of each of the plurality of iViews to the user, to an area of the web page most easily viewed on the mobile device wherein the iViews of most importance are associated with the characteristic and (ii) repositioning iViews of least importance, based on the screen resolution of the mobile device and the importance of each of the plurality of iViews to the user, to an area of the web page that requires the user of the mobile device to scroll to view the iViews of least importance; and
providing the web page based on the web page layout variant to the mobile device.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the characteristic comprises:
a type of mobile device.

13. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the characteristic comprises:
a component of the mobile device.

14. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the characteristic comprises:
a country where the mobile device is currently located.
