  • Publication number: 20240004872
    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to providing a subsidiary application GUI via a client interface. The GUI can be rendered when a user is accessing a first party system via an application that is provided by the first party or a separate entity. The subsidiary application GUI can be rendered in response to the user providing a search query to the first party server-such as a search query that is in furtherance of initializing receiving certain search results. The server can identify, based on the search query, one or more entities that offer primary and/or subsidiary applications, and request subsidiary data for visibly rendering corresponding subsidiary applications for each entity. The subsidiary applications can optionally provide access to application functions that would not otherwise be available at the client without a corresponding application being installed.

  • Publication number: 20030169863
    Abstract: The invention relates to a usage tracking and billing system that includes a hierarchy system made up of hierarchies containing entities representing the accountables, services, and service locations associated with usage data. In an example embodiment, the hierarchies are: (1) Organizational Hierarchy representing service users, service providers, and billed and billing parties, (2) Service Hierarchy representing services, and (3) Location Hierarchy representing the locations where services are used or provided. The hierarchies allow for correlation of service usage among the user(s), the service being used, and the location of where the services were consumed as well as provided. The end user may set the desired organizational structure, specify the locations (grouped by continent, etc. within a multinational organization), and provide an application view of what service usage is to be billed for and at what rate for the various groups and locations within the organization.
