  • Patent number: 9305285
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a heads-up display for improving efficiency for displaying information using a web browser. Content-of-interest may be determined in web documents based in part on content profiles corresponding to the web documents. The determined content-of-interest may be compared with other information stored separately from the web browser. Business Information associated with the determined content-of-interest may be determined based on the comparison of the other information and the content-of-interest. Plugin information for a plugin document may be generated based on the a portion of the business information and the at least a portion of content-of-interest. The generated plugin document may be displayed in the web browser. The web documents may be modified based on the business information that may correspond to the determined content-of-interest. And, the modified web documents may displayed in the web browser.

  • Publication number: 20150269606
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing content over a network. A plurality of events that may be associated with event sources may be determined. Action information may be generated based on classification of events to action events, such that the events may correspond to a campaign for a merchant. Classifying the events may also include, determining an action type that may correspond to each event based in part on an event source that corresponds to the events. Performance information may be generated based on the action information. Comparison information may be generated based on at least other performance information that may correspond to other campaigns that may be associated with other merchants. Recommendation information may be generated based on the performance information and the comparison information. Report information may be generated for display to a user based on the performance information and the recommendation information.

  • Publication number: 20150264144
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing content over a network. Managed content may be provided to a client application. A widget controller may be arranged to determine locations that may be associated with a consumer based on information included in a consumer profile. The widget controller may enable the consumer to identify a hyper local region corresponding to the determined location that may be associated with the consumer. The widget controller may generate a request for content to a content delivery server based on the consumer's profile. Content corresponding to the request may be provided to the client application from the content delivery server. The widget controller may then deploy to the content to at least one widget. The widget controller may monitor the widgets to detect and track consumer actions with the widgets. The consumer actions may be communicated a content management server for further analysis.

  • Publication number: 20140344035
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards recommending coupon templates to a customer, from which the customer can select and have published to consumers. A ranked order may be determined for the coupon templates for each of a plurality of categories. A subset of the coupon templates may be recommended and provided to a customer. The subset of coupon templates may be determined based on a category of the customer, the ranked order of the plurality of coupon templates for the category, external variables, or the like, or any combination thereof. One or more of the subset of coupon templates may be selected by the customer and published to the consumers. The ranked order of the plurality of coupon templates may be determined and/or modified based on monitored actions associated with previously published coupons, such as by employing a success of similar attributes associated with previously published coupons.

  • Patent number: 7340604
    Abstract: The invention automatically controls whether displayed web pages and associated frames displayed within a web browser are secure or non-secure. A dynamic “Web Component” remotely controls web page security states. The Web Component uses the same script and HTML for all implementations or instantiations of the Web Component, regardless of how many unique clients make use of the Web Component. This code reuse is accomplished using entry web pages, or “entry points,” to set the value of function properties or parameters of the Web Component for dynamically and controlling the security state of a web page having at least two frames. The script and/or HTML source code of the Web Component pages does not change based on each new implementation or instantiation. Consequently, little setup work is required for each implementation, and only a basic verification test pass is needed for each unique automatically customized Internet web page.

  • Patent number: 7111048
    Abstract: Internet web pages displayed via an Internet web browser or other applications are automatically customized. Dynamic “Web Components” are used to automatically customize web pages. Further, these Web Components use the same script and HTML for all implementations or instantiations of the Web Component regardless of which, or how many, unique local clients make use of the Web Component. This code reuse is accomplished by using entry web pages, or “entry points,” as described in further detail below, to set the value of function properties or parameters of the Web Component for dynamically and automatically generating a web page. The script and/or HTML source code of the Web Component pages does not change based on each new implementation or instantiation. Consequently, little setup work is required for each implementation, and only a basic verification test pass is needed for each unique automatically customized Internet web page.

  • Patent number: 7000107
    Abstract: The present invention involves a new system and process for automatically controlling whether a displayed web page and associated frames displayed within a window of a web browser are secure or non-secure. For example, whether the displayed web page and associated frames are provided via a secure socket layer (SSL), i.e. a web page from an HTTPS address (secure), or simply via an HTTP address (non-secure), respectively. Specifically, the present invention uses a dynamic “Web Component” to remotely control web page security states. Further, the Web Component according to the present invention uses the same script and HTML for all implementations or instantiations of the Web Component, regardless of which, or how many, unique local clients make use of the Web Component.
