`ABSTRACT
`
`A network portal system includes a web-top manager and a
`universal content broker system. The web-top manager is
`configured to receive a content request from a user device,
`where the content request includes a content provider iden(cid:173)
`tifier. The nniversal content broker system is coupled to the
`web-top manager. The nniversal content broker system
`includes a plurality of content providers. Each content
`provider in the plurality of content providers is associated
`with a different content provider identifier. Also, each con(cid:173)
`tent provider accesses content having a different raw data
`format. A universal content broker is coupled to the web-top
`manager and to the plurality of content providers. Upon the
`receipt of the content request from the web-top manager, the
`universal content broker passes the request to a content
`provider in the plurality of content providers that is associ(cid:173)
`ated with the content provider identifier.

`NETWORK PORTAL SYSTEM AND
`METHODS
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`1. Field of the Invention
`This invention relates generally to network systems and in
`particular to network portal systems
`2. Description of Related Art
`Laptop and notebook computers abound, virtually every
`enterprise in every business sector uses e-mail for internal
`and external communications, mobile phones are common(cid:173)
`place, and many people carry personal digital assistants
`(PDAs) with wireless communication capability. Internet
`cafes can be found in almost every city, airports routinely
`have Internet kiosks, and most hotel rooms come equipped
`with data communication facilities.
`With these developments come limitations and frustra(cid:173)
`tions. Laptops and notebooks frequently require that special
`applications be installed. If work needs to be done when that
`particular machine is not available, the work must be post(cid:173)
`poned. In addition, there are employees without laptops who
`nonetheless need to access information and applications
`when they are away from the office.
`Data on laptops must be synchronized with data on the
`enterprise's central computers. Before employees can work
`on their laptops, they must be certai
