  • Patent number: 11005912
    Abstract: Managing the timing of publication of new webpages and in particular new versions of existing webpages. New webpages are uploaded into a data repository for storing them before they are made available for access externally. A dependency processor is provided to process these new webpages to assess their readiness for publication by checking for dependencies on other webpages, the dependencies including a mutual dependency; locating any of the other webpages; and ascertaining whether each such dependency is satisfied. If dependencies are satisfied, then the new webpage is deemed ready for publication and is published. The satisfied dependencies include the content being accessible. In the case that the new webpage is a new version of an existing webpage, it replaces the old version. If dependencies are not satisfied, then the new webpage is held back until such time as they are met.

  • Patent number: 10693939
    Abstract: A first search request is received. Keywords of the first search request is identified. A request in a protocol for the first search request is transmitted to a web service.

Responsive to determining that the first search request is similar to the previously submitted search request, the protocol response is modified to include contact information of a user that previously submitted the similar search request. The modified protocol response is transmitted to the client computer system from which the first search request originated.

  • Patent number: 9924013
    Abstract: A method, and associated system, for determining an automatic action to be performed in response to an unsuccessful communication request. A first set of data, obtained from a first electronic communication device, is transmitted by the first electronic communication device to the computing system in response to a determination by the first electronic communication device that a called user of the first electronic communication device is unable or unwilling to accept a communication request from a calling user of a second electronic communication device. The first set of data is associated with the called user, the first electronic communication device, the second electronic communication device, or combinations thereof. A second set of data is obtained from the second electronic communication device and associated with the calling user, the second electronic communication device, or both. The action to be performed is determined based on the first and second sets of data.
