  • Patent number: 11586688
    Abstract: A computerized anonymous permission-based communications system is provided, including a computing device configured to display in a primary GUI network-addressable content served by a server and to receive, via an alignment GUI, a user input indicating a catalog intention for the content. The catalog intention is transmitted to a micro-catalog server to create a user micro-catalog entry. The user micro-catalog entry is indexed by an index value of the content, and includes a programmatically selected subset of content associated with the content. The computing device is further configured to receive, via the alignment GUI, user inputted permissions associated with the user micro-catalog entry. The permissions define permissible third-party communications associated with the user micro-catalog entry. The computing device is further configured to display, in the alignment GUI, the user micro-catalog entry, and present, via the alignment GUI, a third-party communication authorized by the permissions.

  • Patent number: 8645865
    Abstract: An embodiment of a graphical user interface for specifying an item order includes a graphical order generator arranged in a geometric pattern. The graphical order generator may include an order input tool including a category section for displaying a plurality of inter-dependent dynamically filtered category indicators arranged in a sequential and user-modifiable hierarchy, and an option section for displaying a plurality of selectable option indicators associated with a category indicator. The category indicator may include a graphical representation of an active state or incomplete state before selection of an option indicator, and a graphical representation of a complete state after selection of the option indicator.

  • Patent number: 8386288
    Abstract: A workflow management system for managing workflow within one or more entities is provided. The workflow management system may include a first drop-box application program executed on a first computing system including a first input object directory configured to receive an input object electronically outputted from an application program. The first drop-box application program may further include a first workflow engine configured to generate and send a workflow package to a second drop-box application program executed on a second computing system, the workflow package including the input object, a plurality of workflow tasks, and a set of predetermined workflow rules defined by a user via the first drop-box application program. In some examples at least one workflow task may be implemented via the second drop-box application program based on the set workflow rules.
