Appeal No. 2002-1707 Page 2
Application No. 09/211,527
As the users move among the clients, however, differences in hardware or
connections may create inefficiencies. For example, a user may employ a workstation
having a high speed connection and a color monitor to execute a networked application
in an early "session"1 and employ a mobile computer having a low speed connection
and a monochrome monitor to execute the same application in later session. Content
that may have been appropriate for the earlier session (e.g., colored , high resolution
data) may be inappropriate or inefficient for the later session. (Id. at 3.)
Accordingly, the appellants' invention modifies content provided to a user of a
client. More specifically, session dependent data are provided to a server storing
policies. Based on the policies and the session dependent data, the server modifies the
content provided to the client. (Appeal Br. at 2.)
A further understanding of the invention can be achieved by reading the following
claim.
9. A method of controlling content provided to a device of a user of a
network, the method comprising:
providing session dependent information associated with the device
to a network device having stored policies which are based on the session
dependent information; and
1According to the appellants, a session is "a period of time where the operating
environment of a remote processor connected to a network is not expected to change."
(Spec. at 10.)
