Digital ID for selecting web browser and use preferences of a user during use of a web application

摘要

A browser configuration architecture where input of a unique user ID automatically configures those browser applications preselected for auto-configuration from entries of a user preferences sheet. The user preferences sheet ( 2500 ) is part of the browser control software ( 2502 ) used for storing user preferences associated with one or more browser applications ( 2506, 2508 , and 2510 ) loaded on a computer of the user. Upon completing the entry of preference information into the user preferences sheet ( 2500 ), the browser control software generates a unique user ID ( 2504 ) which is used to automatically configure the desired browser application according to the user preferences entered into the user preference sheet ( 2500 ). Each user of the browser control program ( 2502 ) of a computer is issued a unique user ID ( 2504 ) from which the respective user can auto-configure the desired browser application.
