Abstract: In embodiments, a shared-transportation social interaction system (“STSI”) may facilitate a first user in sharing transportation to one or more locations based on the activities and/or statements of a second user. The STSI may follow one or more blogs of the second user, as well as location information, such as made available by the second user's GPS or social-networking check-ins. The STSI may also allow the first user to follow the second user and to be notified when the second user is at a location of interest. Upon determining the second user to be at a location of interest, the STSI may determine if the first user is available and may then send a notification to the first user. The STSI may then facilitate the first user in sharing transportation to the location. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: In embodiments, a map-based shared transportation location identification module (“MTSS”) may facilitate display of locations on a map for which shared transportation has been indicated as being offered or willing to be accepted. In embodiments, the MTSS may identify locations for which shared transportation has been indicated and display those on top of a map; the map may be displayed by the same logical entity as the MTSS or by a different entity. The MTSS may allow a user to select one or more of the locations, view information view information related to the location and elect to accept the offer (or to provide their own offer). The MTSS may then facilitate a matching of the user with the other relevant user for the purpose of sharing transportation. Other embodiments may be described.

Abstract: In embodiments, a shared-transportation user interface element (“STE”) may facilitate sharing of transportation for a location described in a web page. Code for the STE may be generated based on location or other information for the location and may be included in, or otherwise referred to by, the web page. A user may later request the web page during which the web page and the STE may be rendered. In embodiment, the STE may take the form of a button. The user may then activate the STE, which may in turn cause the code for the STE to trigger a matching of shared transportation using a shared-transportation matching module. Other embodiments, may be described and claimed.

Abstract: A system includes a server equipped to generate a split encryption key having at least a first key portion and a second key portion, that is used by the server to encrypt at least a portion of a message. Additionally, the first key portion of the split encryption key is retained by the server, while the second key portion of the split encryption key is delivered to a sending client and is discarded from the server. The sending client in turn provides the second key portion to one or more recipients of the message to facilitate recipient access to the message.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for computer-facilitated construction of contracts, such as health care contracts. Embodiments include the employment of meta data, and handling of inter-dependent and/or mutual exclusivity of contract terms, contract clauses, rates, rate spans, rate sheets and digital documents (templates). Embodiments include facilitation of search, selection, and/or assembly of contract terms, clauses etc with or without modifications, and/or with or without review and/or approval. Embodiments include versioning control, post formation amendment, expiration and/or renewal management.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for methods and apparatuses for generating digital signatures of digital contracts, such as digital health care contracts. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for generating and using cascading digital signatures to identify a digital contract, enabling the digital contract's integrity to be assured, and rendering the digital contract non-repudiative.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and apparatuses for messaging with heterogeneous inter-related attachments. Embodiments provide messaging systems, devices and methods for electronic messaging with attachments containing, for example, documents created from a translating print driver and/or documents containing identifiers associating the documents to a subject.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and apparatuses for automatic patient record creation for messaging. Embodiments provide messaging systems, devices and methods for electronic clinical messaging with transmission of a record or data from a sender to a recipient and automatic creation of patient records upon receipt by a recipient.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatuses for contextualization of electronic messages, for example, by determining at least one cost metric for an electronic mail message based at least in part upon an identified context, automatically generating metadata representing the at least one cost metric, and associating the metadata with the electronic mail message.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for establishing a collect call originated through a packet based network is provided. In accordance with various embodiments of the invention, a system is described that facilitates voice communication between a calling party and a party to be called while the costs of the communication session are charged to the called party. In one embodiment, the called party is queried as to whether they wish to accept the costs associated with the pending voice communication session, prior to the two parties being placed in voice communication with each other.
