Abstract

A customizable browser framework configured to simplify the task of generating application-specific, user-specific, and location-specific browser user interfaces is disclosed. The browser may be configured for execution on a specialized browser, or on a generic personal computer. Upon power-up or user login, the browser is configured to access a configuration file. The configuration file may be locked to prevent user access, and may stored locally or on a server. The browser is configured to use the information stored in the configuration file 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.
