  • Patent number: 11758353
    Abstract: A privacy enhanced system and method of using a handheld computerized device to store and retrieve geofence based notifications, without requiring that any of the specific geofenced regions or notifications be reported on a remote server. The system enables the user to both manually draw the desired geofences on the device's touchscreen, as well as directly load the geofence associated notifications (such as various images) into the device in advance. Other constraints and executable code can also be input and associated as desired. In use, the system automatically triggers when its location sensors detect that the device is within a geofenced region, and if the constraints are satisfied, can automatically retrieve the desired notifications. In some embodiments, the system can use previously stored executable code to automatically generate additional geofence regions and notifications.

  • Patent number: 11657372
    Abstract: An improved computerized e-commerce system, optimized for smaller merchants such as florists who often provide seasonal perishable gifts that require local delivery, and who often desire to form cooperative networks with local merchants offering related gift services, as well as other related merchants such as other florists in more distant locations. The web server based system allows merchants to easily set up non-static (time variable) websites that automatically provide schedule driven promotions. New products can be quickly uploaded from smartphones, and sophisticated time and location aware algorithms can compute accurate delivery costs and make such costs transparent to customers. The system may also include backend software configured to assist in product production, inventory control, product cost optimization, and product delivery optimization, management, and tracking.

  • Patent number: 9483634
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for generating a short term password that may be used to access a data warehouse. According to aspects of the disclosure, a user may request a password after inputting a data warehouse environment, an ID name, and a reason for the password reset. A server may receive the request and determine whether the difference in time of the present request and a previous request for the same ID name and data warehouse environment is greater than a time limit. Additionally, the server may determine whether a previous user has logged in using a password for the same ID name and data warehouse environment. Thereafter, the server may generate and output a short term password that expires after the time limit.

  • Patent number: 8958109
    Abstract: A web-browser/web server method of creating new documents and signing existing documents, in particular faxes and email attachments, useful for ecommerce and other applications. Documents or document components are sent to the web server. At the web server, the images of the documents are converted to an image layer, and are manipulated by combining the image layer with annotation layers constructed from instructions and data that are uploaded by the user from a web browser or app running on a remote computerized device. The system and method manipulates the documents using HTML5 based image manipulation features such as the <canvas> element. Using this method, users may view and otherwise manipulate documents from their web browsers as if the documents were residing on their local machine. Users may then instruct the remote server to transmit to the intended destination by analog or electronic fax, email attachment, download, or other means.
