10. A navigation method for portal sessions, comprising, at a server:
-
receiving a resource request from a client representing user interactivity with a navigation element of a rendered page of information within a portal session, determining a use context of the portal session, based on the selected navigation element and the use context, generating at least one new portal page having at least one target application based on the selected navigation element and the use context, and transmitting the at least one page to the client. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
