Patent number: 7983957Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention provide a system that enters items into a gift registry. During operation, the system photographically captures images of items at stores containing the items. Moreover, the images include a set of barcodes identifying the items. Next, the system obtains a set of product codes for the one or more items from the barcodes in the images. Finally, the system enters the one or more items in the gift registry using the product codes.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2008Date of Patent: July 19, 2011Assignee: Intuit Inc.Inventors: Michael R. Gabriel, George Mount

Patent number: 7437594Abstract: The invention relates to the backup of a user session on a network. When the user at a client, such as an ISP, makes a request on the network, this request is routed by a load balancer to a primary host server on the network. The selection of the server is done by the load balancer in such a manner as to distribute the load on the system evenly and prevent overloading of one particular server. Once the user request has been routed, user specific information such as a session identification code or a password is provided to the primary host server and the session is set up. A single session must comprise of at least one application process on the selected primary host server. On commencement of the session, the load balancer designates at least one other server on the network to act as primary backup server for the user session set up on the primary host server.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2000Date of Patent: October 14, 2008Assignee: America Online, Inc.Inventors: George Mount, Ramachandra Srivatsa
