Abstract

According to some embodiments, a method and apparatus are provided to receive an environmental factor associated with a mobile device. A web page to be viewed on the mobile device is modified based on the determined environmental factor.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving, as part of a network packet sent from a mobile device to retrieve a web page associated with a sports league, an environmental factor associated with the mobile device, the environmental factor comprising a geographic location determined by the mobile device via a built in GPS, a location indication received via a cell tower, a wireless internet address or an html tag;

determining a color pallet associated a sport team'"'"'s uniform colors based on the geographic location determined by the mobile device, wherein the sports team is associated with the sports league and the determined geographic location; and

modifying, via a processor, a first portion of a web page to be viewed on the mobile device by changing the web page to reflect the determined color pallet associated the sport team'"'"'s uniform colors wherein the first portion is associated with a title area of the web page and a second portion of the web page to be viewed on the mobile device is associated with a content area of the web page.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the environmental factor further comprises:

an amount of visible light detected by the mobile device.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein modifying the web page to be viewed based on the amount of visible light detected by the mobile device comprises:

changing a color palette of the web page based on the amount of detected visible light.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

leaving a second portion of the web page unchanged in response to determining the geographic location.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the first portion is associated with a title area of the web page and the second portion is associated with a content area of the web page.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the location specific element further comprises an image associated with the determined location.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the image corresponds to the sports team.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein determining a color pallet associated a sport team'"'"'s uniform colors based on the geographic location determined by the mobile device comprises:

determining that the mobile device is within a defined range from a city associated with the sports team.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method, the method comprising:

receiving, as part of a network packet sent from a mobile device to retrieve a web page associated with a sports league, an environmental factor associated with the mobile device, the environmental factor comprising a geographic location determined by the mobile device via a built in GPS, a location indication received via a cell tower, a wireless internet address or an html tag;

determining a color pallet associated a sport team'"'"'s uniform colors based on the geographic location determined by the mobile device, wherein the sports team is associated with the sports league and the determined geographic location; and

modifying, via a processor, a first portion of a web page to be viewed on the mobile device by changing the web page to reflect the determined color pallet associated the sport team'"'"'s uniform colors wherein the first portion is associated with a title area of the web page and a second portion of the web page to be viewed on the mobile device is associated with a content area of the web page.

10. The medium of claim 9, wherein the environmental factor further comprises:

an amount of visible light detected by the mobile device.

11. The medium of claim 10, wherein modifying the web page to be viewed based on the amount of visible light detected by the mobile device comprises:

changing a color palette of the web page based on the amount of detected visible light.

12. An apparatus comprising:

a processor;

a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by the processor perform a method, the method comprising;

receiving, as part of a network packet sent from a mobile device to retrieve a web page associated with a sports league, an environmental factor associated with the mobile device, the environmental factor comprising a geographic location determined by the mobile device via a built in GPS, a location indication received via a cell tower, a wireless internet address or an html tag;

determining a color pallet associated a sport team'"'"'s uniform colors based on the geographic location determined by the mobile device, wherein the sports team is associated with the sports league and the determined geographic location; and

modifying, via a processor, a first portion of a web page to be viewed on the mobile device by changing the web page to reflect the determined color pallet associated the sport team'"'"'s uniform colors wherein the first portion is associated with a title area of the web page and a second portion of the web page to be viewed on the mobile device is associated with a content area of the web page.

13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the environmental factor further comprises:

an amount of visible light detected by the mobile device.

14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein modifying the web page to be viewed based on the amount of visible light detected by the mobile device comprises:

changing a color palette of the web page based on the amount of detected visible light.
