Abstract: The present invention shares revenue in an Internet printing system comprising a search engine provider, a host computer capable of browsing the Internet, and an advertisement sponsor. A user of the host computer registers with the search engine provider as a participant in an Internet advertisement revenue sharing system managed by the search engine provider. The user of the host computer conducts a search utilizing a web page of the search engine provider and the search results in a search result page being displayed on a browser of the host computer. The user of the host computer selects an option to print the displayed search result page on a printer connected to the host computer. The host computer generates print data to print out the search result page together with advertisement data and submits the generated print data to the printer for printing.

Abstract: Sharing in the revenues for the sale of prescription drugs in a system comprising an interactive advertising/printing device of a printer manufacturer, a pharmacy and a prescription drug manufacturer. An advertisement of a prescription drug is displayed on the interactive advertising/printing device, and a patient utilizing the interactive advertising/printing device print out a partial prescription for a prescription drug based on the advertisement. The printed partial prescription for the prescription drug is provided to an individual authorized to issue prescriptions for medical drugs, whereby the individual authorized to issue prescriptions completes the partial prescription, which is then provided to the pharmacy for fulfillment. The pharmacy inputs information of the completed prescription into a database, fulfils the prescription for the patient, and completes a sales transaction with the patient for the fulfilled prescription.

Abstract: The invention provides a display interface in a social networking system that enables the presentation of information related to a user in a timeline or map view. The system accesses information about a user of a social networking system, including both data about the user and social network activities related to the user. The system then selects one or more of these pieces of data and/or activities from a certain time period and gathers them into timeline units based on their relatedness and their relevance to users. These timeline units are ranked by relevance to the user, and are used to generate a timeline or map view for the user containing visual representations of the timeline units organized by location or time. The timeline or map view is then provided to other users of the social networking system that wish to view information about the user.
