Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing network resources based on available user information. The methods, systems, and apparatus include actions of obtaining a set of user information, receiving a request to access a network resource, and in response to receiving the request to access the network resource, determining user information requested by the network resource. Additional actions include determining whether the set of user information satisfies the user information requested by the network resource and in response to determining that the set of user information satisfies the user information requested by the network resource, selecting a particular network resource to provide in response to the request. Further actions include in response to selecting the particular network resource, providing the particular network resource in response to the request.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method executed by one or more processors, the method comprising:

obtaining a set of user information;

receiving a request to access a network resource;

in response to receiving the request to access the network resource, determining user information requested by the network resource;

determining whether the set of user information satisfies the user information requested by the network resource;

in response to determining that the set of user information satisfies the user information requested by the network resource, selecting a particular network resource to provide in response to the request; and

in response to selecting the particular network resource, providing the particular network resource in response to the request.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein determining user information requested by the network resource comprises:

identifying one or more fields in a form in the network resource; and

determining user information requested for the one or more fields as the user information requested by the network resource.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein determining user information requested for the one or more fields as the user information requested by the network resource comprises:

identifying metadata in the network resource, where the metadata describes user information requested for the one or more fields in the form in the network resource.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein determining user information requested by the network resource comprises:

determining a first type of user information requested by the network resource; and

determining a different, second type of user information requested by the network resource.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein determining whether the set of user information satisfies the user information requested by the network resource comprises:

determining one or more types of user information requested by the network resource; and

determining whether the set of user information includes user information that correspond to the one or more types of user information requested by the network resource.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein determining whether the set of user information satisfies the user information requested by the network resource comprises:

generating a form with one or more fields based at least on code in the network resource;

populating the one or more fields of the form with at least a portion of the set of user information;

submitting the form with the populated one or more fields; and

determining whether the set of user information satisfies the user information requested by the network resource based on whether the form is successfully submitted.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein selecting a particular network resource to provide in response to the request comprises:

selecting to provide a particular network resource that is different from the network resource for which access is requested.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the request to access a network resource indicates a particular universal resource locator associated with the network resource.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein providing the particular network resource includes generating a web page associated with the particular network resource, wherein the generated web page is populated with at least a portion of the user information requested by the network resource.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein obtaining the set of user information includes obtaining at least a portion of the set of user information after determining whether the set of user information satisfies the user information requested by the network resource.

11. A system comprising:

one or more computers; and

one or more storage devices storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising;

obtaining a set of user information;

receiving a request to access a network resource;

in response to receiving the request to access the network resource, determining user information requested by the network resource;

determining whether the set of user information satisfies the user information requested by the network resource;

in response to determining that the set of user information satisfies the user information requested by the network resource, selecting a particular network resource to provide in response to the request; and

in response to selecting the particular network resource, providing the particular network resource in response to the request.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein determining user information requested by the network resource comprises:

identifying one or more fields in a form in the network resource; and

determining user information requested for the one or more fields as the user information requested by the network resource.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein determining user information requested for the one or more fields as the user information requested by the network resource comprises:

identifying metadata in the network resource, where the metadata describes user information requested for the one or more fields in the form in the network resource.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein determining user information requested by the network resource comprises:

determining a first type of user information requested by the network resource; and

determining a different, second type of user information requested by the network resource.

15. The system of claim 11, wherein determining whether the set of user information satisfies the user information requested by the network resource comprises:

determining one or more types of user information requested by the network resource; and

determining whether the set of user information includes user information that correspond to the one or more types of user information requested by the network resource.

16. The system of claim 11, wherein selecting a particular network resource to provide in response to the request comprises:

selecting to provide a particular network resource that is different from the network resource for which access is requested.

17. The system of claim 11, wherein the request to access a network resource indicates a particular universal resource locator associated with the network resource.

18. The system of claim 11, wherein providing the particular network resource includes generating a web page associated with the particular network resource, wherein the generated web page is populated with at least a portion of the user information requested by the network resource.

19. The system of claim 11, wherein obtaining the set of user information includes obtaining at least a portion of the set of user information after determining whether the set of user information satisfies the user information requested by the network resource.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing software comprising instructions executable by one or more computers which, upon such execution, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

obtaining a set of user information;

receiving a request to access a network resource;

in response to receiving the request to access the network resource, determining user information requested by the network resource;

determining whether the set of user information satisfies the user information requested by the network resource;

in response to determining that the set of user information satisfies the user information requested by the network resource, selecting a particular network resource to provide in response to the request; and

in response to selecting the particular network resource, providing the particular network resource in response to the request.
