Publication number: 20260187708Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system for dynamically reconfiguring an e-commerce storefront based on referral source, comprising a connection agreement established between a referring partner and an e-commerce store, wherein both parties contribute configuration elements. The system comprises a JSON-based contextual configuration document that specifies reconfiguration instructions including visual modifications to the storefront appearance, catalog filtering and product presentation rules, pricing and promotional adjustments, and content injection and messaging. The system comprises a plugin component on the e-commerce platform that intercepts incoming referred traffic, extracts and validates the configuration document, applies reconfigurations before page rendering, and maintains the reconfigured state during the shopping session. The e-commerce storefront presents a different experience to each customer based on their referral source while using the same underlying platform and inventory.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2025Publication date: July 2, 2026Inventors: John COFANO, David BOLIEK, Phillip DELLINGER

Publication number: 20240275788Abstract: A secure network navigation system includes a secure network portal and a site-to-site authenticator. The secure network portal includes a network authenticator to authenticate a user's browser connection to access content at a first site on the secure network. The site-to-site authenticator creates an object that authenticates the user's browser connection, creates a transfer URL by which the user is to access content on a second site of the plural network sites on the secure network. The transfer URL includes values exported from the created object and a unique transfer token. The site-to-site authenticator then transfers the user's browser connection to an address corresponding to the transfer URL. The secure navigation from the first site to the other site on the secure network is transparent to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2024Publication date: August 15, 2024Inventors: David BOLIEK, John COFANO, Phillip DELLINGER

Patent number: 8146000Abstract: The integration of transactional workflows that are distributed across multiple contact centers is described herein. Respective agent interfaces can execute concurrently with applications running at two or more contact centers. These interfaces enable agents at the contact centers to conduct respective interactions with a customer. As the interactions progresses, the agents can enter data related to the interactions via the agent interfaces. The agent interfaces need not be integrated with the applications or the contact center infrastructure, thereby eliminating the expense of performing such integration. Instead, the agents can use both the application and the agent interfaces concurrently while interacting with the customer. Data entered by one agent via the interface can be made available to the other agent, thereby enabling the agents to cooperate with one another, and integrating the respective interactions into a cohesive transactional workflow.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2005Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Assignee: Goodwell Technologies, Inc.Inventors: David Boliek, Bart Dellinger, Romain Machacek, John Cofano
