  • Patent number: 11586688
    Abstract: A computerized anonymous permission-based communications system is provided, including a computing device configured to display in a primary GUI network-addressable content served by a server and to receive, via an alignment GUI, a user input indicating a catalog intention for the content. The catalog intention is transmitted to a micro-catalog server to create a user micro-catalog entry. The user micro-catalog entry is indexed by an index value of the content, and includes a programmatically selected subset of content associated with the content. The computing device is further configured to receive, via the alignment GUI, user inputted permissions associated with the user micro-catalog entry. The permissions define permissible third-party communications associated with the user micro-catalog entry. The computing device is further configured to display, in the alignment GUI, the user micro-catalog entry, and present, via the alignment GUI, a third-party communication authorized by the permissions.

  • Patent number: 8682683
    Abstract: An independent pre-screening system is provided. The independent pre-screening system may include a pre-screening workflow manager executed on one or more servers configured to receive a pre-screened candidate portfolio for an associated job posting. Each pre-screened candidate portfolio will receive a GPA based on predetermined set of fulfillment criteria. The system is configured to facilitate the execution of an automated pre-screening interview, and upon completion send the corresponding candidate portfolio to a candidate queue. The independent pre-screening system may further include a pre-screening candidate manager executed on the one or more servers configured to send a portion of the pre-screened candidate portfolio and a pre-screening rubric from the candidate queue to an online dashboard or remotely executed program, receive a portfolio evaluation from the pre-screening program, and rank the portfolio evaluation by GPA in a candidate status chart for the job posting.

  • Patent number: 8645865
    Abstract: An embodiment of a graphical user interface for specifying an item order includes a graphical order generator arranged in a geometric pattern. The graphical order generator may include an order input tool including a category section for displaying a plurality of inter-dependent dynamically filtered category indicators arranged in a sequential and user-modifiable hierarchy, and an option section for displaying a plurality of selectable option indicators associated with a category indicator. The category indicator may include a graphical representation of an active state or incomplete state before selection of an option indicator, and a graphical representation of a complete state after selection of the option indicator.

  • Patent number: 8386288
    Abstract: A workflow management system for managing workflow within one or more entities is provided. The workflow management system may include a first drop-box application program executed on a first computing system including a first input object directory configured to receive an input object electronically outputted from an application program. The first drop-box application program may further include a first workflow engine configured to generate and send a workflow package to a second drop-box application program executed on a second computing system, the workflow package including the input object, a plurality of workflow tasks, and a set of predetermined workflow rules defined by a user via the first drop-box application program. In some examples at least one workflow task may be implemented via the second drop-box application program based on the set workflow rules.

  • Patent number: 7013290
    Abstract: A system and method of interactive cataloging of products and services by end users across multiple sales and marketing channels provide each end user with access to domain-independent catalog data from a plurality of vendor organizations through a catalog server system. Anonymous end user cataloging actions of products and/or services across multiple manufacturing, distribution, and retailing channels create personalized profile instances that are based on stored vendor catalog profile templates in the catalog server system, and stored in the end user's personalized electronic catalog as pre-sale digital receipts. An end user's personalized electronic catalog(s) can be shared with peers using mutual agreement permissions as managed by the catalog server system.

  • Publication number: 20030028451
    Abstract: An interactive and enhanced digital Instant Catalog of products, services, and information that is personalized or personally profiled, to each unique user of the catalog. The catalog instantly and intelligently captures, stores, manages, and processes self-selected, reusable and “re-distributable” catalog groupings anonymously, for personalizing, enhancing, monitoring, tracking, and peer sharing through multiple mediums and platforms by intelligent agents for a variety of user and vendor specified purposes. The personally profiled cataloged information can be viewed instantaneously and simultaneously by each effected component or member of a supply chain, at the time the product or service has been cataloged, without identifying the cataloger. The user, who preferably employs a Web browser over the Internet, personalizes the interactively produced intelligent catalog content.
