  • Patent number: 8928932
    Abstract: An on-line portal enables users in multiple locations to concurrently create varied marketing campaign materials by way of singular proxy templates. The user selects a promotion from predetermined approved location/client list. If the promotional document type contains a proxy template, the user may edit the proxy template, and link the proxy template to multiple documents such that edits to the proxy template are referenced by the linked documents and thus are concurrently built based on pre-approved rules governing the formats for the linked documents. The user is allowed to preview the documents for completeness and/or accuracy, and if acceptable may be placed into a shopping cart for checkout or order placement.

  • Patent number: 7814560
    Abstract: An online publishing portal enables geographically-spaced common-brand users to publish locale-specific, content-controlled messages. The online publishing portal provides selective access to pre-constructed, digital, plate-ready macrotemplates. A dynamic document server stores the macrotemplates and authorizes selective access thereto based upon user-supplied credentials. The user, having authenticated credentials, may access a select macrotemplate, which necessarily comprises a plurality of digital, plate-ready microtemplates, including at least one restricted access template and at least one open access template. Authorized users may edit a select microtemplate as dictated by the user's level of authorization. The user may thus send the content-controlled digital, plate-ready file to a publisher for publishing information or messages compiled upon the macrotemplate. The portal thereby enables geographically-spaced common-brand users to publish locale-specific, content-controlled messages.
