Publication number: 20130014241Abstract: A restricted web site has features that are selectively exposed to clients. A screening web site interacts with clients and collects data about the clients using passive and/or active techniques. The screening site generates a token for the client, and includes data in the token identifying the token and describing the client. The token is encoded in a cookie and saved in the client's web browser. The client subsequently provides the token to the restricted site. The restricted site validates the token to ensure that it is legitimate, has not expired, and has not been used before. The restricted site selects one or more features to provide to the client based on the data about the client in the token and/or on other information. If the client does not present a token or the token is invalid, the restricted site does not expose any features to the client.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2012Publication date: January 10, 2013Applicant: GOOGLE INC.Inventors: Arturo E.

Publication number: 20110184834Abstract: An electronic commerce system includes a broker that enables third parties to create their own independent shopping carts including items from one or more merchants and/or items for group shopping. An agent, customer, or merchant can create and store a shopping cart containing one or more items. One or more customers can view the shopping cart to determine whether to purchase the item(s). To make the purchase, the customer(s) are transferred to a broker for the checkout. Where there is more than one customer, the customers can pledge to pay a portion of the total price for the cart. The customer(s) can purchase the items in the shopping cart in a single purchase transaction with the broker, rather than having to deal with each of the merchants. The broker interacts with the merchants to complete the transaction and can charge the customer(s) the appropriate amount or portion pledged.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2011Publication date: July 28, 2011Applicant: GOOGLE INC.Inventors: Louis Vincent Perrochon, Arturo E.
