Abstract

Techniques for managing content on a mobile communication device include generating a first navigation structure of web content including a plurality of linked web content portions; identifying a web content navigation history of a user including one or more web content portions accessed by the user in the plurality of linked web content portions; and generating a second navigation structure of the web content, the second navigation structure including links associated with only the one or more web content portions accessed by the user, the second navigation structure displayable on a mobile communication device.

Claims

1. A method performed with a computing system for managing content on a mobile communication device, the method comprising:

generating a first navigation structure of web content comprising a plurality of linked web content portions presented in an enterprise portal;

identifying a web content navigation history of a user comprising one or more web content portions accessed by the user in the plurality of linked web content portions;

identifying, in the one or more web content portions accessed by the user, a first web content portion, a second web content portion directly linked to the first web content portion, and a third web content portion directly linked to the second web content portion and indirectly linked to the first web content portion through the second web content portion;

generating a second navigation structure of the web content by removing the second web content portion from the second navigation structure, the second navigation structure comprising a direct link between the first web content portion and the third web content portion; and

preparing the second navigation structure for display on a mobile communication device.

2. The method of claim 1,

wherein the second navigation structure comprises links associated with the first and third web content portions but not the second web content portion.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein each of the first and third web content portions comprise one of a web page, an application interface, or a hosted document, and

the second web content portion comprises one of a folder or a container.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

storing the web content navigation history of a user in computer-readable memory.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining an access frequency of each of the one or more web content portions accessed by the user;

comparing the determined access frequency of each of the one or more web content portions accessed by the user to a threshold access frequency; and

determining, based on the comparison, a set of relevant web content portions, the set of relevant content portions comprising each of the one or more web content portions accessed by the user that has a determined access frequency greater than the threshold access frequency.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the second navigation structure comprises links associated with only the set of relevant web content portions.

7. The method of claim 5, further comprising:

creating direct links between each web content portion in the set of relevant content portions.

8. The method of claim 5, wherein each access frequency comprises at least one of a time value and a visitation value, the time value comprising a value associated with an amount of time the user accessed the particular web content portion, and the visitation value comprises a value associated with a number of visits to the particular web content portion by the user.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

determining a weighted value for each of the time value and the visitation value; and

determining the access frequency based on the weighted values.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

sending the second navigation structure to the mobile communication device.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein identifying a web content navigation history of a user comprising one or more web content portions accessed by the user in the plurality of linked web content portions comprises identifying, substantially simultaneously with the user accessing the web content from the mobile communication device, a web content navigation history of a user comprising one or more web content portions accessed by the user in the plurality of linked web content portions.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more web content portions accessed by user comprises web content portions accessed by the user through the mobile communication device and web content portions accessed by the user through an enterprise computing device.

13. An apparatus comprising instructions embodied on a tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media, the instructions operable when executed to cause a computing system to perform operations comprising:

generating a first navigation structure of web content comprising a plurality of linked web content portions presented in an enterprise portal;

identifying a web content navigation history of a user comprising one or more web content portions accessed by the user in the plurality of linked web content portions;

identifying, in the one or more web content portions accessed by the user, a first web content portion, a second web content portion directly linked to the first web content portion, and a third web content portion directly linked to the second web content portion and indirectly linked to the first web content portion through the second web content portion;

generating a second navigation structure of the web content by removing the second web content portion from the second navigation structure, the second navigation structure comprising a direct link between the first web content portion and the third web content portion; and

preparing the second navigation structure for display on a mobile communication device.

14. The apparatus of claim 13

wherein the second navigation structure comprises links associated with the first and third web content portions but not the second web content portion.

15. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein each of the first and third web content portions comprise one of a web page, an application interface, or a hosted document, and

the second web content portion comprises one of a folder or a container.

16. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the operations further comprise:

determining an access frequency of each of the one or more web content portions accessed by the user;

comparing the determined access frequency of each of the one or more web content portions accessed by the user to a threshold access frequency; and

determining, based on the comparison, a set of relevant web content portions, the set of relevant content portions comprising each of the one or more web content portions accessed by the user that has a determined access frequency greater than the threshold access frequency.

17. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the second navigation structure comprises links associated with only the set of relevant web content portions.

18. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the operations further comprise:

creating direct links between each web content portion in the set of relevant content portions.

19. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein each access frequency comprises at least one of a time value and a visitation value, the time value comprising a value associated with an amount of time the user accessed the particular web content portion, and the visitation value comprises a value associated with a number of visits to the particular web content portion by the user.

20. The apparatus of claim 19, wherein the operations further comprise:

determining a weighted value for each of the time value and the visitation value; and

determining the access frequency based on the weighted values.

21. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein identifying a web content navigation history of a user comprising one or more web content portions accessed by the user in the plurality of linked web content portions comprises identifying, substantially simultaneously with the user accessing the web content from the mobile communication device, a web content navigation history of a user comprising one or more web content portions accessed by the user in the plurality of linked web content portions.

22. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the one or more web content portions accessed by user comprises web content portions accessed by the user through the mobile communication device and web content portions accessed by the user through an enterprise computing device.
