System and method for using dynamic web components to automatically customize web pages
First Claim
1. A system for automatically generating at least one web page comprising:
- running at least one web page generation script on a remote server computer;
wherein each web page generation script includes at least one encapsulated web-based function for defining at least one characteristic of each automatically generated web page, and wherein each web-based function further includes at least one variable function parameter;
wherein each web page generation script includes a plurality of unique entry points addressable by each local client computer;
automatically generating the at least one unique web page by setting at least one of the variable function parameters of at least one of the web page generation scripts depending upon which entry point is addressed by a communication from at least one local client computer to the remote server; and
automatically transmitting each automatically generated web page from the remote server to the local client.

Abstract
The present invention involves a new system and process for automatically customizing an Internet web page displayed via an Internet browser or other application for displaying Internet web pages. Specifically, the present invention uses a dynamic “Web Component” to automatically customize web pages. Further, a Web Component according to the present invention uses the same script and HTML for all implementations or instantiations of the Web Component regardless of which, or how many, unique local clients make use of the Web Component. This code reuse is accomplished by using entry web pages, or “entry points,” as described in further detail below, to set the value of function properties or parameters of the Web Component for dynamically and automatically generating a web page. The script and/or HTML source code of the Web Component pages does not change based on each new implementation or instantiation. Consequently, little setup work is required for each implementation, and only a basic verification test pass is needed for each unique automatically customized Internet web page.

10. At least one web page automatically generated in accordance with the following acts:
-
providing a remote server computer in communication with the Internet, the remote server hosting a dynamic web page generation script having two or more pre-defined entry points addressable by at least one local client computer; receiving an input at the remote server from one of the local client computers via the Internet; automatically passing the input to one of the web page generation script entry points; automatically generating at least one web page in response to the input passed to one of the web page generation script entry points; and wherein the at least one web page automatically generated in response to the input passed to one of the web page generation script entry points is unique from web pages automatically generated in response an input passed to any other of the web page generation script entry points. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer-readable medium having computer executable instructions for dynamically generating at least one web page, said computer executable instructions comprising:
-
a dynamic web page generation script capable of accepting parameters passed from an intermediate page used to call the dynamic web page generation script; wherein the dynamic web page generation script further comprises at least one encapsulated web-based function which is automatically configured in response to the parameters passed from the intermediate page, and wherein the dynamic web page generation script also includes a plurality of addressable entry points; dynamically generating at least one customized web page in response to the automatic configuration of each encapsulated web-based function, wherein the appearance and content of each dynamically generated customized web page is dependant upon which entry point is addressed by the intermediate page; and transmitting each customized web page from a remote host computer to at least one local client computer via a network. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
