Abstract

A system, method, and article of manufacture are provided for allowing a user to login from anywhere in the world utilizing a network. First, a request to login is received from a user. Next, in response to the request, the selection of a language to be used during the login is allowed. Further, a virtual input device is depicted on a display for allowing the user to login utilizing the selected language.

Claims

1. A method for allowing a user to login from anywhere in the world utilizing a network, comprising the steps of:

(a) receiving a request to login from a user;

(b) allowing the selection of a language to be used during the login, in response to the request; and

(c) displaying a virtual input device on a display for allowing the user to login utilizing the selected language.

2. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the virtual input device includes a virtual keyboard.

3. The method as recited in claim 2, wherein the virtual keyboard includes alphanumeric characters in the selected language.

4. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the request to login is received from the user utilizing a network, and the virtual input device is transmitted utilizing the network.

5. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the login includes entering a user name and a password.

6. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the login is conducted for the purpose of accessing a system associated with an apparel industry.

7. A computer program product for allowing a user to login from anywhere in the world utilizing a network, comprising:

(a) computer code for receiving a request to login from a user;

(b) computer code for allowing the selection of a language to be used during the login, in response to the request; and
