Abstract: In one embodiment, a software system automatically generates a fully functional user interface (UI) based upon any underlying schema within a relational database management system (RDBMS). The UI derives from an automated interrogation of the schema, and comprises all mode displays (e.g., browse, search, edit, add) for all tables, along with integrated mechanisms for representing, navigating and managing relationships across tables. It utilizes a hierarchical “context stack” for suspending the working state of a particular table while “drilling down” to work with related-table information and (potentially) return relevant changes to the base table. The UI presentation resolves cross-table relationships so as to supplant internal key fields from the primary table with corresponding descriptive fields derived from the related tables.
Abstract: A related information presentation device is designed to communicate client terminals so as to search and present users with useful content information unanticipated by users with reference to a plurality of indirectly related content information which is not directly related to each other but which is assumed to be indirectly related to each other through the same relevant content information. Upon receiving a search expression input by each user of a client terminal, the related information presentation device searches specific content information so as to automatically extract indirectly related content information, correlated to the specific content information, from among a plurality of indirectly related content information.

Abstract: An improved method of facilitating contact between mutually interested people takes advantage of existing contact lists such as those on social networking sites, instant messaging programs, or cell phones. A program is integrated into one or more of those technologies, allowing the user to characterize each contact on the basis of the user's level of interest in that contact as a date. The program keeps these rankings secret until two users indicate an interest in each other that surpasses a certain threshold. The users are then notified of the mutual interest. Ads and dating advice are sent along with the notification.
