Abstract: A rental self-service (“RSS”) computer system for enabling a policyholder of an automobile insurance policy to initiate an insurance replacement rental reservation after submission of an initial loss claim is provided. The RSS computer system includes a processor in communication with a memory. The processor is programmed to: (i) retrieve policyholder insurance data from an insurance provider database using a claim identifier associated with the initial loss claim submission, and a policyholder identifier associated with the policyholder; (ii) verify that the policyholder is eligible to receive an insurance replacement rental; (iii) cause to be displayed on a user device associated with the policyholder a searchable interface configured to enable the policyholder to search for at least one vendor location; (iv) receive a selected vehicle class inputted by the policyholder; (v) calculate a policyholder cost; (vi) display a cost summary; and (vii) receive confirmation of a rental reservation request.

Abstract: Techniques for blacklisting of fault generating software code are provided. An example method includes receiving crash reports of a plurality of browsers, a crash report including an identification of one or more executables related to a software crash of a browser, wherein software code of the executables is included in a memory space of the browser during the software crash, analyzing the crash reports of the browsers to determine a browser component affected by software code of an executable included in respective memory spaces of the browsers to cause one or more software crashes of the browsers, computing, for the executable, a fault level based on a number of crashes of the browser component that is associated with the executable and a number of crashes of the browser component independent of the executable, and including an identifier representing the executable in a list based on the determined fault level.

Abstract: Deep linking to a URL of a download is obviated by the generation of a dynamic symbolic system link. When a user is at a download page, the HTML source for the displayed download button does not contain the URL of the download site. Selection of the button sends as form values the product ID and a session ID to the server which generates a dynamic link. This link is returned to the browser to redirect it to the download site. The link is further set to expire after the session so that, even if the link is captured, after expiration it will be unable to reach the download site.
