CONTENT-BASED USER INTERFACE, APPARATUS AND METHOD
First Claim
1. In a unified network management platform, a process for modifying a user interface in real time without changing locally-installed applications comprising:
- receiving a plurality of content streams at a Console;
said Console determining which of said content streams have relevance to current conditions of use;
said Console creating a distinct interface tailored to each relevant content stream from a corresponding specification; and
said Console dynamically merging the distinct interfaces into a common interface in such a way that the relevant content streams are presented to a user in a unified manner.

Abstract
A Policy- and Relevance-based User Interface (UI) for an enterprise suite Console provides a Console Operator access to information about systems on a network under management. By means of such UI, a user experience is dynamically constructed within product domains particular to the system under management using content elements that flow from content sites into the user environment, populating user interface and driving the Operator experience. Specifications distributed with the content determine how the local Console UI organizes and presents information. The UI is further determined by each Console operator'"'"'s content access rights. The UI allows for re-flowing the Console UI without reinstalling or updating the Console application, seamlessly integrating new content in to the UI and targeting language to specific working areas.

18. In a unified network management platform, an apparatus for modifying a user interface in real time without changing locally-installed applications comprising:
-
a processor programmed for receiving a plurality of content streams at a Console; a processor programmed for determining which of said content streams have relevance to current conditions of use; a processor programmed for creating a distinct interface tailored to each relevant content stream from a corresponding specification; and a processor programmed for dynamically merging the distinct interfaces into a common interface in such a way that the relevant content streams are presented to a user in a unified manner. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
