SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATIC USER PROFILE SWITCHING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18509651 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATIC USER PROFILE SWITCHING
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for profile switching by a computing device.
- The computing device includes a memory storing instructions and a processor to execute the instructions.
- The processor receives a request to initiate a new instance of a website.
- The processor determines the domain name of the website and a corresponding user profile based on profile information.
- The processor launches the new instance of the website in a browser according to the user profile.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in web browsers, online platforms, and personalized user experiences.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the issue of manually switching profiles when accessing different websites or online services.
Benefits

Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects of the present disclosure include systems and methods for profile switching by the computing device. In an example, a computing device may include a memory storing instructions and a processor communicatively coupled with the memory and configured to execute the instructions. The processor may receive a request to initiate a new instance of a website. The processor may also determine a domain name of the website in response to the request. The processor may also determine a first user profile from a plurality of user profiles that corresponds to the domain name based on profile information corresponding to one or more of profile history data, profile favorites data, or administrative settings data. The processor may also launch the new instance of the website in a browser according to the first user profile.
