Abstract:
A method of adapting a network-browser user interface to a user's location, comprising the steps of:storing, in a system connected to a user-accessible network, user-specific interface specification data defining at least first and second user interface data sets for use in implementing network-browser user interface in respective different geographic areas, the interface specification data specifying for each data set a respective set of subjects about which information is to be presented, with the user using a device running a network browser for browsing said network, determining which user-interface data set of the user's interface specification data is appropriate for the current location of that device, transferring the appropriate data set to the device and using it to implement the network-browser user interface; at least one data set specifying the inclusion of one or more elements relevant to the locale of the user device; fetching said one or more elements in dependence on the current location of the device if a said at least one data set is determined to be the appropriate data set.
