METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSFERABLE CUSTOMIZED CONTEXTUAL USER INTERFACES

摘要

Electronic devices have become ubiquitous providing users with dynamically adaptive applications and user interfaces. An electronic device may have multiple user customized user interfaces which is further amplified by multiple users for the same electronic device, each having multiple user customized UI dashboard configurations. Accordingly, replacement of the electronic device or addition of another electronic device requires that the users expend significant effort generating these user customized UI dashboard configurations again. It would therefore be beneficial for such user customized UI dashboard configurations to be archived and accessible to a user upon such events as replacement or acquisition. It would also be beneficial for enterprises to be able to provide a user with context sensitive dashboards as part of their customer engagement. Additionally, it would be beneficial for a user to be able to access their user customized UI dashboard from another electronic device other than their personal electronic device.
