Patent number: 9143514Abstract: A hierarchical security model for networked computer users is described. Files and resources are controlled or created by users within the network. Each user within the network has an account that is managed by a network administrator. The account specifies the user identifier and password. Users are grouped into organizations depending upon function or other organizational parameter. The groups within the network are organized hierarchically in terms of access and control privileges. Users within a higher level group may exercise access and control privileges over files or resources owned by users in a lower level group. The account for each user further specifies the group that the owner belongs to and an identifier for any higher level groups that have access privileges over the user's group. All users within a group inherit the rights and restrictions of the group.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2014Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: Ellie Mae, Inc.Inventors: Limin Hu, Ting-Hu Wu, Ching-Chih Jason Han

Patent number: 7472089Abstract: A loan origination system interface module for processing loan applications from a user through a lender web site is described. The loan originator accesses a lender web site to perform loan processing procedures. The module is included on the lender's web page through a standard object reference in HTML specification. The module contains information unique to that lender, and the lender's identification number as well as desired data format. Once the loan originator decides to transfer a loan application or supplemental data to the lender, the module examines the loan origination software pipeline and presents a selection of loan products to the user. Once the user makes a selection, the module extracts loan information stored in the loan origination software by conducting a search for each required data field, relates that data to the specific field in the vendor application format, and packages the data in a format acceptable to the lender.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2002Date of Patent: December 30, 2008Assignee: Ellie Mae, Inc.Inventors: Limin Hu, Babak Khanpour

Patent number: 7444302Abstract: A processing and submission client/server system transmits relevant loan information from a borrower to one or more lender computer systems through pre-defined file templates, which are utilized during loan origination. An automatic data flow process from the origination screen populates the relevant fields in any other related loan forms and word processing documents. Different forms are supported for different types of loans. The loan originator computer system includes a loan origination software program integrated with a web-browser based interface system. The interface system couples the loan origination software program to one or more partner computers. The partners comprise loan underwriters, lenders, and settlement service vendors. The interface system provides dynamic formatting and data transmission for different connections depending on the transaction type and target partner.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2002Date of Patent: October 28, 2008Assignee: Ellie Mae, Inc.Inventors: Limin Hu, Babak Khanpour, Ting-Hu Wu
