Abstract: An electronic communication system is controlled by a content service provider to return relevant information from a content specific database in response to a user query. The content service provider compiles a plurality of content specific databases, each dedicated to a category of information of interest to the user. The user registers a user profile with the content service provider. A query, including the selected content specific database, is transmitted from the user to the content service provider. The selected content specific database is searched for the first level query within context of the user profile. A menu of matches is generated from the content specific database for the first level query. The menu is organized by relevance scores assigned to the matches based on correspondence to the first level query. The menu is transmitted from the content service provider through the electronic communication network to the user.

Abstract: A list of permissions is requested to monitor a status of a computer system in a commerce system. An advertisement compatible with the list of permissions is delivered to the computer system. The status of the computer system is monitored to detect a triggering event. A notification of the advertisement is layered over the graphical interface of the computer system in response to the triggering event. The advertisement is stored in a database. The advertisement includes required permissions. The list of permissions is compared with the required permissions of the advertisement to determine whether the advertisement is compatible with the list of permissions. The advertisement further includes a triggering event list. The advertisement is embedded in a software application. The advertisement further includes optional permissions. Choices for selecting individual permissions to monitor a component of the computer system are presented.
