A system, method and article of manufacture are provided for collaborative installation management in a network-based supply chain environment. According to an embodiment of the invention, telephone calls, data and other multimedia information are routed through a network system which includes transfer of information across the internet utilizing telephony routing information and internet protocol address information. The system includes integrated Internet Protocol (IP) telephony services allowing a user of a web application to communicate in an audio fashion in-band without having to pick up another telephone. Users can click a button and go to a call center through the network using IP telephony. The system invokes an IP telephony session simultaneously with the data session, and uses an active directory lookup whenever a user uses the system. Users include service providers and manufacturers utilizing the network-based supply chain environment.

Providing collaborative installation management in a network-based supply chain environment

An electronic device has a display and has a touch sensitive bezel surrounding the display. Areas on the bezel are designated for controls used to operate the electronic device. Visual guides corresponding to the controls are displayed on the display adjacent the areas of the bezel designated for the controls. Touch data is generated by the bezel when a user touches an area of the bezel. The device determines which of the controls has been selected based on which designated area is associated with the touch data from the bezel. The device then initiates the determined control. The device can have a sensor for determining the orientation of the device. Based on the orientation, the device can alter the areas designated on the bezel for the controls and can alter the location of the visual guides for the display so that they match the altered areas on the bezel.

Access to the Internet is provided using dynamic bookmarks. A first bookmark is stored in a browser in a computer system, the first bookmark referencing a web page at a Uniform Resource Locator (URL). A dynamic attribute for the first bookmark to keep it updated. When a change is detected in the web page data incorporated in the first bookmark, it is automatically updated by virtue of its dynamic attribute to reflect the change in web page data. The change in web page data can be detected during a request for the web page referenced by the first bookmark. If redirection of the request to a new URL is detected, the first bookmark is updated to the new URL. A new request for the web page is issued using the new URL. The change in web page data could alternatively be a change in the name of the web page. Setting the dynamic attribute is accomplished by the browser or at the server for a downloaded bookmark. In the preferred embodiment, the bookmark is a member of a bookmark set. The bookmark set can all have dynamic attributes, but may have member with static attributes which remain constant despite changes in web page data. A special case of a dynamic attribute is a temporary dynamic attribute which provides that the bookmark set remain resident only for the duration of a web site browsing session. The dynamic attribute of the bookmark can be overridden by a static browser preference selectable by the user so that all bookmarks remain static in the browser.
