Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for obtaining and transmitting augmented telephonic entity data to a device or data storage. An example method includes providing a telephonic switching and computing framework, providing access to a data storage, receiving a telephone call from a switched telephone network (STN), receiving caller ID information from the STN, then in response to a trigger, searching for and retrieving within the data storage an augmented data record, and further in response to the trigger event, transmitting the augmented data element to a device. An example system generally comprises a data storage, a telephonic apparatus configured to receive a call with caller ID information from a switched telephone network (STN), a network-connected computing apparatus configured to, in response to a trigger, search for and retrieve an augmented data element associated with the caller ID information, and transmit the augmented data element to a device over a network.

Abstract: Methods for managing entity profiles and application launching in software applications, including providing a network connected application server, providing an application configured to be loaded on a client computer, receiving credentials associated with a user from the client computer with the application server, identifying subscribed entities associated with the user, displaying a visual representation of the subscribed entities associated with the user on the client computer, and transferring entity profile data to the application in response to the user selecting the visual representation of one of the subscribed entities. In some examples, the methods include loading a launching utility on a client computer, where the launching utility is configured to display a user interface displaying a user subset of software applications.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for communicating supplemental telephonic entity data to a callee via data association with a Software-as-a-Service application. An example method comprises providing a networked application server, the application server to access a data storage, providing a SaaS application, subscribing a subscriber organization to the SaaS application, receiving at the user interface of the SaaS application data corresponding to an entity, storing within the data storage a data record for the entity, providing a telephonic switching framework, receiving an incoming call with caller ID information, identifying the entity by caller ID information from the data storage, identifying supplemental data in the data storage associated with the entity, placing an outbound call, and communicating to a callee who is a member of the subscriber organization the supplemental data.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems to utilize entities from global collections in software applications. An example method comprises providing an application to receive a search request for entities within a global collection, displaying retrieved records, receiving user input including a selected entity, and copying data from a selected entity into a non-global collection of data. Another method comprises displaying a pictorial graphic depicting a business card, and synchronizing the graphical elements with a global entity record. Examples of systems generally comprise a data storage, a server, a first application configured to receive first user input and insert user input into a global collection of entities, a second application configured to display data associated with at least one entity record from a global collection of entity records, receive second user input, and copy data associated with a selected global entity record to a non-global collection of entities.

Abstract: Methods and systems relating to hosted applications, some examples of systems including storage units including computer executable code associated with a plurality of applications, data memories, wherein one or more of the applications include computer executable code configured to store previous location data associated with a saved location within the application, retrieve the previous location data, and direct the client computer to the saved location.

Abstract: Graphical logistics management methods including providing a data storage and displaying a pictorial quantity graphic depicting an allocated quantity of an ordered item allocated to one or more shipping containers associated with an order. The data storage store an order item record associated with the order and the order item record includes an order quantity field. The order quantity field includes quantity data denoting an ordered quantity of an ordered item. Displaying the pictorial quantity graphic occurs on a display unit of a computer configured to access the order item record. In some examples, the method includes displaying a container display pictorially depicting a shipping container and dynamically updating the container display. In some examples, the method includes adjusting container parameters based on calculations associated with an order.
