Application 09/946,201
Appellants invented a method and system for controlling users’ access
to the content of a webpage. Upon receiving from a server a requested
webpage along with the user’s profile and access rights information (ARI)
tags inserted in a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) code for the
webpage, an access requestor processes all received information to
determine the user’s level of access. The access requestor subsequently
controls the user’s access to the webpage based upon the user’s determined
level of access (Specification 4.)
