  • Patent number: 11593751
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for pre-coordinating delivery and service for item searching and filtering are described herein. Large or specialized products, such as household appliances, may require setup and installation services at the time of delivery, leading to additional complexity and coordination from multiple service providers. The present techniques and system configurations address these complexities by providing functionality in search and information user interfaces, which enable a user to search, filter, and identify the delivery and installation availability for a listing of products. The present techniques and system configurations may calculate and cache the availability dates for service fulfillment of respective products. The present techniques and system configurations enable a user to request and receive a listing of the earliest available products for delivery and installation based on the cached availability dates for service fulfillment of respective products.

  • Publication number: 20040219492
    Abstract: Under the present invention, a design repository having modules that each include a framework for developing educational content is provided. Also provided is a content repository that has modules that correspond to the modules of the design repository. An educational program is designed by selecting one or more modules of the design repository based on an assessment of a set of requirements. Using the framework in the selected modules educational content for the educational program can be developed. Moreover, by accessing the modules of the content repository that correspond to the selected modules of the design repository, previously created educational content can be retrieved. Once provided (e.g., developed or retrieved), the educational content will be delivered to one or more intended recipients according to the designed educational program.
