  • Patent number: 10937080
    Abstract: A method for identifying a user of a website as a potential customer and presenting the potential customer with enhanced website content includes: identifying that a user has landed on the website; identifying a user traffic-source; determining if the identified traffic-source matches a traffic-source in a list of customer-based reference traffic-sources; identifying a specific user behavior pattern on the website; determining if the identified specific user behavior pattern matches a behavior pattern from a list of customer-based reference behavior patterns; identifying the user as a potential customer if the identified traffic-source matches a traffic-source in a list of reference traffic sources and the identified specific user behavior pattern matches a behavior pattern from a list of reference behavior patterns; and displaying enhanced content tailored to the potential customer based upon the specific user behavior pattern or excluding display of enhanced content to the user if not a potential customer.

  • Patent number: 8108226
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method, system, program, and data structure for maintaining electronic patient medical information. An electronic patient data structure is generated to include patient biographical information and one of medical history information, medication schedule information, and appointment schedule information. The patient data structure is electronically transmitted between a physician computer and a portable patient device. The patient data structure is capable of being modified.

  • Patent number: 7962437
    Abstract: Data for a first time period in a primary data sequence is compared with data for a second time period in each of a set of secondary data sequences. The durations of the first and second time periods are correlated, and the first time period is different from the second time period. A ranking is assigned to each secondary data sequence based on the corresponding data for the second time period. The ranking for each of the set of secondary data sequences is written to a computer useable medium. The primary data sequence and the set of secondary data sequences are adjusted based on a request to change the primary data sequence to one of the set of secondary data sequences. The comparing, assigning, and writing are repeated for the adjusted primary data sequence and set of secondary data sequences.

  • Patent number: 7565621
    Abstract: The present invention concerns methods and apparatus for implementing an interactive graphical user interface having the ability to graphically depict the relationships between or among multiple portlets. In one aspect, the present invention relates a child sub-portlet to a parent portlet with at least one graphical indicator when the child sub-portlet is surfaced from the parent portlet. Other aspects of the present invention concern in-line tools integrated in the graphical indicators for managing portlet operations. The graphical indicators and inline controls of the present invention allow a user to accurately and precisely control portlets.

  • Publication number: 20090132457
    Abstract: Data for a first time period in a primary data sequence is compared with data for a second time period in each of a set of secondary data sequences. The durations of the first and second time periods are correlated, and the first time period is different from the second time period. To this extent, the data in the primary data sequence during the first time period provides a template for assigning a ranking to each secondary data sequence based on the corresponding data for the second time period.

  • Publication number: 20080250083
    Abstract: Methods and a system are provided for generating a list of user selectable files for backup based upon program properties. The file space on a user's computer or a computer network is searched for application programs, data files and file extension types stored therein. Once these items are located, they are correlated together in a registry. The correlated items are then sorted and ranked in a list for backup based on a sealing factor. The sorted and ranked list is presented to the user in a graphical user interface. The user is then able to easily select the files, applications, or directories that have the highest usage for backup. The user-selected list of files for backup is supplied to backup application program. The user-selected files and other iteration information are stored in a memory for future reference.
