  • Publication number: 20160094536
    Abstract: A system and method is described for managing permissions for a system that organizes shared electronic media using a card/deck/project schema. A permissions manager allows a user to share a card, deck or project with another user and further provides the option of requiring the receiving user to log in to access the shared media using the receiving user's system password. Advantageously, the receiving user does not need to remember another password, but merely enters his/her system user ID and system password to access the shared media. The sharing user can turn off all permissions to a single user with a single action.

  • Publication number: 20140281915
    Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method for generating expandable backgrounds for widget elements on a website, blog or ecommerce application, where the backgrounds are generated by taking the nine subimages generated from the subdivision of a given background image with two sets of orthogonal lines. The sub-images are automatically combined into cascading style sheet (CSS) elements, creating HTML backgrounds that seamlessly resize both vertically and horizontally as the content of the element grows.

  • Publication number: 20140188651
    Abstract: A method and system for providing domain name registration and resale at the registry level and a corresponding apparatus. The apparatus is a Database Management Platform held and operated at the registry level but incorporated into each registrar-level transaction. The Database Management Platform includes the database, the logic for querying the database, and a system built around the database; it stores information in a structured format to be accessible for queries. The registrar receives a request from an end-user for a domain name; the registrar accesses the registry, which queries the Database Management Platform to determine whether the domain name is available and, if not, if it is for sale. The registrar provides this information to the end-user. If the end-user chooses to, the apparatus operates the sale/purchase transaction between current owner and the end-user. If sufficient funds exist, the end-user's account is debited and the current owner's account is credited.

  • Publication number: 20140067552
    Abstract: Described is a system for online advertising buying.

By giving marketers quantitative feedback on the individual components of an advertising campaign—not just on the overall ads running—this new “scoring” system win allow them to make much more educated choices on individual component types.
