Content-based user interface, apparatus and method
First Claim
1. In a unified network management platform, a process for modifying a user interface in real time without changing locally-installed applications comprising;
- receiving, at a console, a plurality of content streams from a server for a plurality of content sites to which a user of the console subscribes, wherein each content site provides a domain specification strictured document containing presentation information for each domain in which the content site places content, the presentation information describing how content is to be presented within a domain in a user interface based on relevance information;
determining, by the console, which of the plurality of content sites have relcv to current conditions of use based on the relevance information;
creating, by the console, a distinct interface tailored to each relevant content site based on the current conditions and the domain specification structured documents received from the plurality of content sites; and
dynamically merging, by the console, the distinct interfaces into a common interface such that the pity, of content streams are presented to the user in a unified manner in at least one domain based on the domain specification structured documents, wherein the at least one domain is a container aggregates content from the plurality of content streams.

Abstract
A Policy- and Relevance-based User Interface (UI) for an enterprise suite Console provides a Console Operator access to information about systems on a network under management. By means of such UI, a user experience is dynamically constructed within product domains particular to the system under management using content elements that flow from content sites into the user environment, populating user interface and driving the Operator experience. Specifications distributed with the content determine how the local Console UI organizes and presents information. The UI is further determined by each Console operator'"'"'s content access rights. The UI allows for re-flowing the Console UI without reinstalling or updating the Console application, seamlessly integrating new content in to the UI and targeting language to specific working areas.
