  • Patent number: 8396856
    Abstract: A data acquisition and perusal system and method including a database selection module, a database index generator module and a search module. The database selection module enables selection of a plurality of files for inclusion into at least one selectable database. The database index generator module enables generation of a searchable index of the data contained in the selectable database. The search module enables a search to be performed of the searchable index according to search criteria. The system allows for the capture of HTML data which is automatically indexed without human intervention and has the ability to automatically and accurately locate or “pinpoint,” and highlight specific text or groups of text designated by the user within the resulting database.

  • Patent number: 7836043
    Abstract: A data acquisition and perusal system and method which enable: selection of a plurality of files for inclusion into at least one selectable database; generation of a searchable index of the data contained in the selectable database; and searches of the searchable index according to search criteria. This invention allows users to view, acquire, and generate single- or multiple-data sources locally or remotely, and to compile, index, modify, and append the data sources according to default or user defined criteria. This invention can: selectively acquire and display data contained within remote databases; capture automatically indexed HTML data; and automatically “pinpoint,” and highlight specific text or groups of text designated by the user within the resulting database. This invention contains a link module enabling custom links to be defined between selected terms of selected files of the selectable database including the custom links so that the searchable index includes only valid links.

  • Patent number: 7729990
    Abstract: Systems and methods of processing financial transaction information are provided. In one embodiment, a financial institution runs an index generating software program to generate a downloadable index of images of cleared checks. The account customer uses complementary software to remotely download, search, and display the index of cleared check images, together with the images themselves. In another embodiment, the financial institution periodically runs a software program to generate digital archives of the cleared check images for the account customer. The account customer is provided with secure online access to the digital archives. The account customer may use standard financial bookkeeping software to download and display the cleared check images and associate the cleared check images with transactions in the associated account registers.

  • Publication number: 20040243536
    Abstract: An information capturing system and method is provided with a file authentication feature. The system generates and insert authentication codes into files selected for inclusion into a database. The system also compares the authentication code of a file selected from the database with one or more attributes about the selected file to detect whether the individually selected file was compromised. In one embodiment, the authentication code is derived from the content of the file itself. In another embodiment, the authentication code is derived from the date and time the system expects to save the file to the database. Yet another embodiment of the authentication code combines these two approaches.

  • Publication number: 20040243627
    Abstract: An information capturing system and method is provided that enables chat stream data to be automatically and periodically extracted from a chat room to one or more files. In particular, contiguous time-delimited segments of chat stream data are automatically and serially extracted from a chat room hosted on a computer network and the segments are stored to a plurality of files, where each file stores only a single time-delimited segment of chat stream data. The information capturing system and method also generates a searchable index of the chat stream files so that a search criterion can be used to locate words and phrases in the saved chat stream files. The system also records the date and time when the chat stream data stored in the one or more files was extracted.

  • Publication number: 20040243494
    Abstract: An information capturing system and method is provided for retrieving financial transaction information and related images from a financial institution web site. First, an account transaction history web page is accessed having a first set of links to processed financial transaction document images and a second set of links to an assortment of other objects. The first set of links is distinguished from the second set of links in order to automatically download the processed financial transaction document images without downloading the assortment of other objects. The method further comprises specifying a folder in which to download the processed financial transaction document images; saving the processed financial transaction document images into the specified folder; and generating or updating a searchable index of the contents of the specified folder.
