(13) 7) Cloud-based computer system or architecture includes multiple content data sources or service provider servers that are linked to a log-in server or master server via the internet/intranet.

(14) 8) A remote computing device is an electronic device that is capable of accessing the log-in server or master server over the internet/intranet and displaying or viewing a master web-page and content data therefrom.

(15) FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a cloud-based computer system and architecture 100 for managing web-based content data, in accordance with the embodiments of the invention. The cloud-based computer system and architecture 100 includes a log-in server or master server 105 that acts a single point of access for a plurality of content data sources or service provider servers 101, 103, and 105. The plurality of content data sources or service provider servers 101, 103, and 105 are in communication or linked to the log-in server or master server 105 via a communication network, such as the internet or intranet represented by the arrows 133, 135 and 137.

(16) The log-in server or master server 105 supports a program to run and execute a master content application software, hereafter master application, represented by the box 107. The master application 107 is coded for organizing content data and content applications from the multiple content sources or service provider servers 101, 103 and 105 on a master web-page 201, 201′ and 201″ (FIGS. 2A-C), such as described below.

(17) In operation, a user (not shown) logs into the log-in server or master server 105 over the internet/intranet, represented by the arrow 131 from a suitable remote computing devices 111. A suitable remote computing device 111 is for example, a desk top computer 125 with a monitor or display 127 and a keyboard 123 and mouse 121 for entering information and executing functions. Alternatively, a suitable computing device is a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a smart phone or any other electronic device that is capable of accessing the log-in server or master server 105 over the internet/intranet and displaying or viewing content data therefrom on a master web-page a 201, 201′ and 201″ (FIGS. 2A-C), such as described below.

(18) FIG. 2A shows a representation of a dynamic user web-page or master web-page 201 for simultaneously displaying content data and/or content application 101′, 103 and 105′ from the corresponding set of content sources or service provider servers 101, 103 and 105 through a log-in server or master server 105, in accordance with the embodiments of the invention.

(19) Referring now to FIG. 2B, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention a master web-page 201′ includes a slide tool or scrolling tool indicated by the arrow 226 operable from the computing device 111 (FIG. 1). In operation, when the remote computing device 111 logs into the log-in server or master server 105 over the internet/intranet, for at least the first time, the log-in server or master server 105 and the master application 107 initiates a down load of software on to the remote computing device 111 that enables the slide tool or scrolling tool 226 to operable from an user input interface, such as a keyboard 123, a mouse 121, a touch screen (not shown) or any other suitable user interface on the remote computing device 111.

(20) With the remote computing device 111 enabled with the slide tool or scrolling tool 126, a user can view his or her master web-page 201′ and scroll through or page through content data and content applications 101′, 103 and 105′ from corresponding set of content data sources or service provider servers 101, 103, and 105 in real time.

(21) In accordance with further embodiments of the invention, a master web-page 201″ includes a slide tool or scrolling tool indicated by the arrow 227 operable from any suitable user interface on the remote computing device 111, such as describe above. In addition, the master application 107 is equipped with a tool box that allows an authorized user or administrator to build the master web-page 201″ and include features for displaying and migrating through personal content data, such as those provided by a networking web-site or an e-mail web-site 233. In operation, portions of content data and/or portions of content applications 101′, 103 and 105′ from the corresponding set of content sources or service provider servers 101, 103 and 105 are capable of being selected and copied using the computing device 111 and saved to the user's master web-page 201″ or one or more of the user's personal accounts. Also, the master web-page 201″ preferably includes a search tool or function 231 that allows a user to search for selected content data and content applications 101′, 103 and 105′ from each content data sources or service provider servers 101, 103, and 105 individually or simultaneously.

(22) As described above, the The cloud-based computer system and architecture 100, the master application 107 and corresponding tool box provides for the capability to include lock-out controls, collect history analytics and have subsets of accessible content data or content applications.

(23) FIG. 3A shows a block-flow diagram 300 outlining steps, in accordance with the method of the present invention. In the step 301, a personal account is set up from on a cloud-based log-in or master server 105 (FIG. 1) from the remote computing device 111 (FIG. 1). The account set up procedure includes establishing a user name and password. In the step 303, an administrator or authorized user selects which security features are enabled, which content sources or service providers are accessible, which personal setting or features are accessible and constructs the general layout of a master web-page via the tool box on the master application 107 (FIG. 1).

(24) After the personal account is set up and the master web-page is constructed in the steps 301 and 303, in the step 305 the master application 107 initiates a down load of software on to the remote computing device 111 that enables a the slide tool or scrolling tool 226 and 227 (FIGS. 2B-C) to operable from a user input interface on the remote computing device 111.

(25) FIG. 3B shows a block-flow diagram 350 outlining steps, in accordance with a further method of the present invention. After a user personal account has been established, the content sources or service providers have been selected and the scrolling tool software has been down loaded, such as described above with reference to FIG. 3A, in the step 351 the user is capable of logging into the log-in or master server 105 (FIG. 1) using the remote computing device 111 (FIG. 1). After the user logs into the log-in or master server in the step 351, in the step 353 the user accesses his or her personal or shared master-web-page and views or manages content data and/or content applications 101′, 103′ and 105′ (FIGS. 2A-C) from the corresponding content sources or service providers 101, 103 and 105 (FIG. 1). While logged into the log-in server or master server 105, in the step 355 the user is capable of using the slide tool or scrolling tool 226 and 227 (FIGS. 2B-C) to page through and manage content data and/or content applications 101′, 103′ and 105′ from the multiple content sources or service providers 101, 103 and 105 and search for selected content data and content applications 101′, 103 and 105′ from each content data sources or service provider servers 101, 103, and 105 using the search tool 231.

(26) As described previously, the user is also capable of accessing personal content providers enabled during the set-up procedure described above. Also, the user is capable of selecting content data and/or content applications and coping the selected content data and/or content applications to the user's master web-page or the user's personal content data account.

(27) The present invention provides an expandable solution for managing content data in a cloud-based computing environment which is capable of being integrated into applications from multiple sources. The invention provides users with a highly interactive experience and the ability migrate through the content data and applications on the dynamic master web-page in real time. The dynamic master web-page preferably includes an icon-based interface and is capable delivering a broad spectrum of content data such as marketing data, sales data, operations data, manufacturing data, financial data, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, audio data, video data, database listings, custom or off the shelf business applications, games, or any other content data or application data.
