  • Patent number: 7991845
    Abstract: A method and a system for delivering certified messages to message servers are provided. In example embodiments, a message request including message information may be received from an application. The message information may identify a message template in a message template database using an identifier comprising multiple fields. The message information may be sent in a certified message to a queuing system for storage in a data store. A confirmation that the message information has been stored in the data store may be sent to the application.

  • Publication number: 20110106641
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving item data at a network-based computer system, the item data related to an item categorized in at least a first category of a plurality of categories supported by the network-based computer system and including an item price-based value associated with the item. A category-specific threshold price-based value, for the first category of the plurality of categories supported by the network-based computer system, is automatically determined. The item data is automatically determined to the irregular, based on the item price-based value associated with the item and the category-specific threshold price-based value for the first category of the plurality of categories supported by the network-based computer system. Responsive to the determination that the item data is irregular, an entity associated with the item is restricted from using the network-based computer system.

  • Patent number: 7493281
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving item data at a network-based transaction facility, the item data related to an item categorized in at least a first category of a plurality of categories of the network-based transaction facility and including an item price-based value associated with the item. A category-specific threshold price-based value, for the first category of the plurality of categories of the network-based transaction facility, is automatically determined. The item data is automatically determined to the irregular, based on the item price-based value associated with the item and the category-specific threshold price-based value for the first category of the plurality of categories of the network-based transaction facility. Responsive to the determination that the item data is irregular, an electronic message is automatically communicated to an entity associated with the item.

  • Patent number: 7334019
    Abstract: A message database server receives a message request from an application program and returns a confirmation or error status to the application program after attempting to store the message information contained in the request to a data store. The data store may be maintained by the message database server or by a queuing system. A message server obtains the message information from the data store for transmission through either a pull or push methodology. In one aspect the message data store contains a set of personalization tags and an identifier for a message template that contains the text of the message to be sent. The message server creates the message by retrieving the message template specified by the identifier and filling in variables in the text in the template with the appropriate personalization tags.

  • Patent number: 6944599
    Abstract: A method of filtering out item data in a report in network-based auction facilities. Data concerning multiple items is received in a database of a network-based auction facility. A price-based value is associated with at least one item. Irregular data concerning an irregular item having a price-based value greater than a predetermined price-based value is removed from a representation of the data.
