Abstract: This disclosure is directed to systems and methods for network communication disintermediation, including providing a search platform where the query terms employed by one party become a searchable medium which is usable by a second party, therefore disintermediating traditional search engines. Further, the system and methods provide for activatable communication channels which may be used to open lines of communication between different users when their interests, e.g. search query terms, etc., align. The system's servers generate searchable compilations of users' query terms, which other users may access. In some cases, the users may establish communication channels with other users based on the content of their query terms. The disclosed systems and methods provide for a number of additional functionalities, including the generation of alerts and search results.

Abstract: A translation system and related methods are described. The translation system comprises a translation server computer and a user computer, such as a mobile device. The translation server computer is programmed to allow the user computer to dynamically update translations for electronic resources displayed by a computer program, such as a mobile app, without having to download new versions of the computer program. The user computer is configured to accept suggested translations for specific electronic resources, submit them to the translation server computer for approval, and subsequently display approved translations for the specific electronic resources.

Abstract: A method and system for a translation manager system are described. The translation manager system allows a web translation application to insert the proper translations into web pages generated by the translation manager system. The translation manager system properly identifies how a page is reached by the user, as well as where in the page the user has selected to make their suggestion. The translation manager system uses key-locations to identify different areas where the user may make a suggestion and the web page may include multiple key-locations.

Abstract: A method and system for interrupting interconnected processes are described. An interconnected process is a process that cannot progress unless another process is complete. A Supplier Information Management (SIM) computer is logically positioned between an accounts receivable computer and an accounts payable computer. The accounts receivable computer can use the SIM computer to perform business tasks that are processes interconnected with a profile management process. The profile management process ensures that the SIM computer has complete and up to date information about an entity using the accounts receivable computer. If the SIM computer does not have complete and up to date information, the processes corresponding to business processes are interrupted until such information is provided by the accounts receivable computer.

Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method for processing an electronic document. The method comprises accessing a comparison set of reference document codifications, each reference document codification in the comparison set comprising a plurality of canonical feature codifications. Each canonical feature codification in each reference document codification in the comparison set is processed by determining whether the electronic document has one or more text rectangles in a potential position of the canonical feature and, in response determining that the electronic document has one or more text rectangles in a potential position of the canonical feature, recording a preliminary association between the or each text rectangle and the canonical feature. For each text rectangle preliminarily associated with one or more canonical features, a final canonical feature assignment is determined for the text rectangle based on the one or more preliminarily associated canonical features.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for form processing is provided, requiring little to no data entry. Upon receiving an electronic notification containing a form, a validation server extracts an electronic contact address from the electronic notification. The validation server then applies a template associated with the sender's electronic contact address to a document to extract information necessary to generate an electronic form comprising machine parsable data. The sender is then granted access and prompted to validate the electronic form. The sender entity validates the electronic form by making any necessary changes or revisions and by submitting the editable web form. The form's parsable content is then stored directly as data in a database. In some embodiments, the validation server may accept the electronic validation with additional revision information. In these embodiments, the revision information may be applied to future forms received from the sender.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are herein disclosed for allowing suppliers to generate an invoice from a purchase order without requiring them to log in or pre-register with a networked application. Implementation is provided by having a first user provide a first document to a networked application. An electronic notification is dispatched to a receiver for the first document with a unique link to a data entry page within the networked application. The data entry page is sandboxed with limited functionality within the networked application, but accepts data from the receiver to be sent directly into the first user's system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for form processing is provided, requiring little to no data entry. Upon receiving an electronic notification containing a form, a validation server extracts an electronic contact address from the electronic notification. The validation server then applies a template associated with the sender's electronic contact address to an OCRed document to extract information necessary to generate an electronic form comprising machine parsable data. The sender is then granted access and prompted to validate the electronic form. The sender entity validates the electronic form by making any necessary changes or revisions and by submitting the editable web form. The form's parsable content is then stored directly as data in a database. In some embodiments, the validation server may accept the electronic validation with additional revision information. In these embodiments, the revision information may be applied to future forms received from the sender.

Abstract: A method of and device for enabling the requisitioning of items over a network. The network is coupled to a server, thereby allowing communication between the server and a generating-user, a requisitioning-user and an initiating-user. The server generates a requisition template in response to input received from the generating-user. The server sends an initial e-mail message to the requisitioning-user's e-mail address in response to direction received from the initiating-user. The initial e-mail message includes the requisition template. The initial e-mail message is configured to result in the creation of a reply e-mail message in response to the requisitioning-user selecting to reply to the initial e-mail message from the e-mail application that is accessing the initial e-mail message, the reply e-mail message including the requisition template.
