  • Patent number: 10062103
    Abstract: Native e-commerce transactables for social and other familiar and/or suitable user environments are enabled. A user of a network site may interact with a transactable to conduct a transaction with a 3rd party without leaving a user environment of the network site. The transactable may be configured to adopt the “look and feel” of the network site into which it is incorporated. While conducting the transaction with the transactable, the user may perceive that they remain at the network site, even though transaction information may be exchanged with a 3rd party network site. The transaction mediation service may obtain social activity data from a plurality of social network sites, as well as merchant activity data (e.g., transaction activity) from a plurality of merchant network sites. The data of each suitable network site may be translated, transformed and/or normalized into a unified and uniform format maintained by the transaction mediation service.

  • Patent number: 9438728
    Abstract: An existing telephone service provider network may be adapted to associate a single telephone number with multiple telephone service user devices. The multiple provisioned telephone numbers may be grouped such that service activity originating from a device associated with one of the grouped telephone numbers appears to originate from a selected (and possibly different) one of the grouped telephone numbers, and such that service activity destined for a device associated with one of the grouped telephone numbers may be forwarded to one or more and/or each of the devices associated with the grouped telephone numbers. Any suitable set of provisioned telephone numbers may be grouped including, but not limited to, a set of two provisioned telephone numbers.
