Abstract: A system for analyzing vendor interactions by inspecting message logs is disclosed. The system is configured to identify a plurality of messages logs associated with an attachment comprising an indication of an accepted invitation to a calendar event. The system further identifies a sender and a recipient associated with each of the message logs, and determines that one of the sender and the recipient is identified as an employee and the other one is identified as a vendor. Next, the system extracts personal information about the identified employee and public information about the identified vendor, and stores the extracted information in an interaction data entry. Additionally, the system creates an index associated with the interaction data entry to facilitate query of the data stored in the interaction data entry.

Abstract: A system for categorizing vendor interactions by inspecting messages is disclosed. The system is configured to scan a plurality of messages and identify keywords from the body of the messages. Based on the identified keywords, the system determines a topic for each of the messages. The system further performs a sentiment analysis to determine an overall contextual polarity for each of the messages and categorizes the messages based on the determined overall contextual polarity. Additionally, the system stores the determined overall contextual polarity and the category of the messages in interaction data entries.

Abstract: An electroluminescent (EL) display kit is designed to removably attach to a host device, such as the outside top cover of a conventional laptop computer or the back of a cell phone, texting device, or handheld electronic pad. The EL display draws its electrical power from the host device through an adapter cable. In the laptop kit, the EL display is powered and controlled by a USB cable which secretes into one of the USB ports of the laptop computer. The EL display conveys a variety of both static and dynamic visual information to a viewer. In a second embodiment the EL display is integrated into the laptop computer during the OEM manufacturing process. In a third embodiment a consumer may design, manufacture, and assemble his own artwork in the EL display which is then attached to a laptop computer or another host electronic device.
