System and method for managing content on a network interface
DCFirst Claim
1. A network interface management system, comprising:
- an interface subsystem, including a portal configured to capture a plurality of input characteristics from users of the system, the input characteristics including at least one of text, graphics, sounds, documents and multi-media content; and
a content subsystem including a network interface, a plurality of configurable applications including at least a biography application configured to provide biographical information about the users of the system and groups of the users of the system, and a second application configured to distribute content to the users of the system, and at least one configurable link;
wherein said system provides for generating said configurable application from said plurality of input characteristics;
wherein said system provides for automatically embedding said at least one configurable link on said network interface based at least in part on a profile attributed to a current user of said system and at least one business rule that utilizes profiles to determine what content can be viewed; and
wherein said at least one configurable link points to at least one of said configurable applications.

Abstract
The disclosed invention is a system and method (collectively the “system”) for the automated management of content on a network interface. The network interface can be a web site on the World Wide Web, an Internet location, an intranet location, an extranet location, or some other form of network interface (collectively “web site”). The system can automatically create applications and links to those applications without human intervention. Examples of automated applications include newsroom applications, calendar of events, employment opportunities, project portfolio, biographies, frequently asked questions, document library, category management, product catalogs, e-mail broadcasts, surveys, and newsletters. Fully normalized hierarchies of business rules and user profiles can be supported by the system to facilitate automation and configurability. Multiple content providers can manage a single web site in a simultaneous or substantially simultaneous manner. In ASP embodiments, multiple organizations can use the system to manage multiple web sites in a substantially simultaneous manner.
