Abstract

Provided are a system and method for automatic selective optimization and rendering of content based on characteristics of a client device. In one exemplary embodiment, a system for automatic selective optimization and rendering of content based on characteristics of a client device includes a communication module to receive the content from a enterprise system, with the enterprise system being pre-configured based on specific business rules, an analyzing module to determine properties associated with the content; an optimization module to selectively optimize the content, based on the properties associated with the content and the characteristics of the client device, thereby producing optimized content, and a rendering module to facilitate selective rendering of the optimized content on the client device, thereby providing for the selective optimization and rendering of the content without having to reconfigure the enterprise system.

Claims

1. A system for automatic selective optimization and rendering of content based on characteristics of a client device, the system comprising:

a communication module to receive the content from a enterprise system, the enterprise system being pre-configured based on specific business rules;

an analyzing module to determine properties associated with the content;

an optimization module to selectively optimize the content, based on the properties associated with the content and the characteristics of the client device, thereby producing optimized content; and

a rendering module to facilitate selective rendering of the optimized content on the client device, thereby providing for the selective optimization and rendering of the content without having to reconfigure the enterprise system.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising providing a content add-on functionality, the content add-on functionality facilitating additional customization of the optimized content without affecting previously performed customizations.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the page add-on functionality includes one or more of the following:

hiding content, reordering content, changing User Interface (UI) controls, and changing UI attributes.

4. The system of claim 1, further comprising providing a multi-language functionality, the multi-language functionality comprising:

detecting one or more available languages available on the enterprise system;

based on the detection, automatically presenting a user associated with the client device with one or more language choices;

receving, from the user, a language choice selected from the one or more language choices; and

rendering the content in a languge corresponding to the language choice.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the characteristics of the client device include one or more of the following:

a location, a viewing width, and an orientation.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the client device includes one or more of a desktop, a laptop, a notebook, an ultrabook, a smartphone, and a tablet computer.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the system is located on a web server of the enterprise system.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the optimization module is a plug-in to the web server.

9. The system of claim 1, further comprising a security module to provide access rules, wherein the security is based on one or more of a location, a network, rules-based authentication, multiple-factor authentication, time-based authentication, a proxy associated with routing of the content, application data, screens associated with the content, and functionality associated with the content.

10. The system of claim 1, further comprising a logging module to log information related to one or more of the following:

an identity of a user and actions performed under the user in the enterprise system, an identity of the data accessed, and a source of a location associated with the client device.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the properties associated with the content include definition and structure of the enterprise system.

12. The system of claim 11, further comprising an extracting module to read and cache configuration of the client device on the web server.

13. A method for automatic selective optimization and rendering of content based on characteristics of a client device, the method comprising:

receiving the content from a enterprise system, the enterprise system being pre-configured based on specific business rules;

analyzing the content to determine properties associated with the content;

selectively optimizing the content, based on the properties associated with the content and the characteristics of the client device, thereby producing optimized content; and

facilitating selective rendering of the optimized content on the client device, thereby providing for the selective optimization and rendering of the content without having to reconfigure the enterprise system.

14. The method of claim 13, further comprising optimizing performance on one or more devices and telecommunication networks.

15. The method of claim 13, wherein the client device includes one or more of a desktop, a laptop, a notebook, an ultrabook, a smartphone, and a tablet computer.

16. The method of claim 13, wherein the content and the optimized content are served by a web server.

17. The method of claim 13, further comprising providing location-based security for interactions with the enterprise system.

18. The method of claim 13, further comprising logging information related to an identity of a user and actions performed under the user in the enterprise system.

19. The method of claim 13, wherein the properties associated with the content include definition and structure of the enterprise system.

20. The method of claim 13, further comprising extracting data related to configuration of the client device to be cached on the web server.

21. A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, performs the following operations:

receives the content from a enterprise system, the enterprise system being pre-configured based on specific business rules;

analyzes the content to determine properties associated with the content;

selectively optimizes the content, based on the properties associated with the content and the characteristics of the client device, thereby producing optimized content; and

facilitates selective rendering of the optimized content on the client device, thereby providing for the selective optimization and rendering of the content without having to reconfigure the enterprise system.

22. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 21, further comprising instructions that, when executed, provide location-based security for interactions with the enterprise system.

23. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 21, further comprising instructions that, when executed, log information related to an identity of a user and actions performed under the user in the enterprise system.

24. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 21, further comprising instructions that, when executed, extract data related to configuration of the client device to be cached on a web server which serves one or more of the content and the optimized content.
