Abstract: Personalized transaction identification information is provided by a user to supplement the generic transaction banking information received from the user's electronic banking service. The personalized transaction identification information is maintained by the user or the user's Internet Service Provider (ISP) or host. At the time of the transaction or later, details about the transaction are entered by the user into a personal digital assistant (PDA) or online. Subsequently, when the user downloads his banking information, the downloaded banking material is matched with the stored personalized transaction identification information. As a result, the information provided to the user about a transaction is more comprehensive since information beyond check number and amount are provided.

Abstract: Assessing a user's interest level with respect to an electronic search result through passive monitoring of user interaction with a browser application includes determining that a user has requested an electronic search and enabling the user to perceive one or more identifiers. Each identifier corresponds to an electronic search result produced in response to the electronic search request. The user selects one of the identifiers and perceives the electronic search result corresponding to the selected identifier through a browser application. An interest level with respect to the electronic search result corresponding to the selected identifier is determined by passively monitoring the user's interactions with the browser application while the user perceives the electronic search result corresponding to the selected identifier.
