Abstract: Systems and methods to communicate information are described. The system receives a query and retrieves a set of data items from a database based on the query. The system generates a distribution based on a count of data items from the set of data items that were retrieved for each domain in a set of domains and a count of requests to view data items from another set of data items for each domain in the set of domains. The system identifies whether the distribution exhibits a type of a distribution by comparing the distribution with at least one of a peak distribution and a hills distribution. Finally, the system generates interface information based on the type of distribution.

Abstract: A computer apparatus is remotely initiated. Confirmation of a detected and authenticated presence of a user remote from the computer apparatus is detected and confirmed via a wireless network. Booting of the computer apparatus is initiated based on receiving confirmation of the detected and authenticated presence of the user remote from the computer apparatus. The computer apparatus is booted in a protected workstate that prevents access to the computer apparatus while the user is remote and until a local presence of the user is detected and authenticated. The computer apparatus is operable to be unprotected upon confirmation of the local presence of the user. The computer apparatus is also operable to be accessible to the user upon unprotecting the workstate of the computer apparatus.

Abstract: A computer apparatus is remotely initiated. Confirmation of a detected and authenticated presence of a user is detected and confirmed remote from the computer apparatus. A dedicated resource that will be implemented using the computer apparatus is logged in in a protected workstate that prevents access to the computer apparatus until a local presence of the user is detected and authenticated. The workstate of the computer apparatus is unprotected upon confirmation of the local presence of the user. Access to the user is allowed upon unprotecting the workstate of the computer apparatus.

Abstract: An access control system provides authentication and notification. A visitor to a facility, for example, authenticates to the access control system. Once an identity of the visitor is confirmed, the access control system sends a notification to a host, such as an employee. The notification informs the host of the arrival of the visitor.

Abstract: Methods and systems to facilitate a search of an information resource is disclosed. In various embodiments, a distribution of a plurality of data items across a plurality of attribute value ranges corresponding to an attribute is identified. The attribute may be shared by at least two of the plurality of data items. Based on a determining that the distribution of the plurality of data items across the plurality of attribute value ranges includes at least two peaks, the distribution of the plurality of data items across the plurality of attribute value ranges corresponding to the attribute is communicated.

Abstract: There are provided methods and systems to identify an item based on data associated with the item. Information is received that is descriptive of an item to be listed on an information storage and retrieval platform. The information is associated with an aspect-value pair, which is an aspect of the item and a value of the aspect. An expression of an interest of a user in the item is received. The expression is associated with the aspect-value pair. In response to the associating of the expression with the aspect-value pair, the item is identified.

Abstract: A method may comprise identifying a field of a digital document as containing information related to an order. The method may include deconstructing the field into a character string. The method may include comparing the character string with a set of regularized purchase-related expressions, thereby parsing the character string. The method may include extracting order information from the character string if the character string meets a condition of the one regularized purchase-related expression, and providing the extracted order information. Also disclosed are related systems.
