Abstract: A method for data presentation includes assembling a set of documents in response to a search query by a user having a social network. A respective person is identified with each of a group of documents in the set. For at least one document in the group, a chain of one or more links is found in the social network between the respective person and the user. A search results page is displayed, including an identification of the at least one document together with a sequence of breadcrumbs corresponding to the one or more links in the chain.

Abstract: A system and related method for completing online transactions via mobile device includes a client-side e-commerce platform executing on the mobile device that identifies candidate items for purchase based on images related to an item desired by the user. The client-side platform determines attributes of the item based on an image captured by an onboard camera or otherwise stored on, or downloaded to, the mobile device. Purchase information for items offered by participating vendors, or third-party vendors, is retrieved by the platform via APIs of the vendor network or automated middleware respectively. The user may select items for purchase and complete the transaction via single click, and the middleware forwards payment details to the third-party vendors and retrieves purchase information and transaction records from the third-party vendors. The client-side platform generates a single transaction and invoice whether the selected items are purchased from in-network or third-party vendors.

Purchase information for items offered by third-party vendors outside the network is retrieved by a middleware platform called by the client-side platform. The user may select items for purchase and complete the transaction via single click, whereby the middleware forwards payment details to the third-party vendors and retrieves pricing, inventory, and purchase information (as well as authorization codes and records of the completed transaction) from the third-party vendors.
