Abstract: A conferencing system receives a live stream of conference data generated during a video conference. Data associated with the live stream of conference data may be stored in a storage medium in response to a conferee request. Storage of the data associated with the live stream of conference data may automatically begin at the beginning of the meeting. The system may retrieve the data associated with the live stream of conference data from the storage medium in response to a retrieval request. Retrieval of the data may occur subsequent to that portion of the video conference associated with the live stream. A local copy of the data associated with the live stream of conference data may be provided to a requesting user's computer.

Abstract: A machine-implemented method includes determining when a particular promotional offer which is associated with a payment account of a particular consumer should be released to the particular consumer, and then transmitting a first message indicating the particular promotional offer to a device of the particular consumer. The first message indicates the merchant and the terms of the offer, which may include a specific time period during which the offer is valid. The method further includes detecting that the particular consumer has accepted the offer and, in response, automatically transmitting a second message to trigger a transfer of funds to an account of the consumer. The method can further include, in response to detecting that the consumer has accepted the offer, automatically and immediately transmitting a message to the consumer to confirm the transfer of funds to the account of the consumer, so as to provide feedback to the consumer.

Abstract: One conferencing system allows conference participants to share all or a portion of the display seen on their computer screens. The conferees may be at sites removed from each other, or may view a recorded presentation or archived conference at different times. Conference participants are either “presenters” who can modify the display or “attendees” who cannot modify the display. An image may be captured of a selected region of a display image on a presenter computer, and data associated with the captured image may be transmitted to one or more attendee computers. The display of the transmitted data at the one or more attendee computers may be sequenced with respect to the presenter computer. These and other features apply to other data streams shared in the conference or in meetings where there is no shared-image data stream.

Abstract: One conferencing system allows conference participants to share all or a portion of the display seen on their computer screens. The conferees may be at sites removed from each other, or may view a recorded presentation or archived conference at different times. Conference participants are either “presenters” who can modify the display or “attendees” who cannot modify the display. A pointer icon, which can be labeled to identify the conferee, is displayed on the shared image area. Each conferee can modify the position of his or her own pointer, even when not presenting, so that every participant can see what each conferee is pointing to, should a conferee choose to point to an element of the display. These and other features apply to other data streams shared in the conference or in meetings where there is no shared-image data stream.

Abstract: Techniques for credential free, alert based personal finance management are disclosed herein. An embodiment of a credential free, alert based method comprises receiving from a financial institution a transaction message indicating a transaction that occurs a short time period ago; recognizing the transaction message and translating the transaction message into an alert in a predetermined uniform format; transmitting the alert to a user's device and prompting a user to tag the transaction with at least one category; and receiving from the user's device a response indicating the category that the user tagged.

Abstract: An improved networked computer communications system handles arbitrary streams of data, and transports at varying speeds those steams where intermediate updates can be dropped if they are obsoleted by later arriving data updates, optimizing the utilization of network and node resources. Complex buffering by system server software allows distributed, parallel, or redundant processing, transmission, and storage for performance, reliability, and robustness. Various parameters of the system can be monitored, and the system can be reconfigured automatically based on the observations. Varied techniques reduce the perceived end-to-end latency and take advantage of software and hardware capabilities that assets connected to the system may possess.
