Abstract

A method and software application with a framework for customizable graphical user interfaces is disclosed. The framework is configured to simplify the task of generating application-specific, user-specific, and location-specific graphical user interfaces. The framework may be configured for execution on a specialized Internet appliance, or on a generic personal computer, or a network browser. Upon power-up or user login, the software application is configured to access a set of configuration information. The configuration information may be locked or protected to prevent user access, and may be stored locally or on a server. The application is configured to use the configuration information to generate a user interface that may have one or more of the following features: customizable icons and links, plug-ins, and persistent portals. The configuration file may include position information, size information, and linking information for one or more graphics files that are usable to generate the icons and other user interface features. The configuration file may be automatically updated from a remote server based on a predetermined update schedule and based on when the appliance is in an idle state. The updates may be generated based on historical execution data conveyed by the application to the remote server.
