Patent number: 10628502Abstract: An online social network is managed using one server for database management tasks and another server, preferably in a distributed configuration, for CPU-intensive computational tasks, such as finding a shortest path between two members or a degree of separation between two members. The additional server has a memory device containing relationship information between members of the online social network and carries out the CPU-intensive computational tasks using this memory device. With this configuration, the number of database lookups is decreased and processing speed is thereby increased.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2011Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Nicholas Galbreath, Mirko Predosin

Patent number: 8280779Abstract: Internet-based commercial network connects multiple qualified participant buyers and sellers. Items are made available for defined periods of time, referred to as an event (139). Event terms and conditions include item types, price, quantity, volume or units, discount, shipping terms (138). Reiterative offer and counteroffers permit negotiation of terms for an event. Participants may view anonymous competitive quotes for comparison and analysis. Pooled purchases and auctions are envisioned. Participants may create web presences and are subject to restrictions on access (141) and purchase (142) authority. Central system maintains participant data.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2009Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: Intesource, Inc.Inventors: Oren L. Davis, Diane L. Slonaker, Richard A.
