  • Patent number: 5862322
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for facilitating end user support communications in a computing environment, wherein a product request may be initiated, and forwarded to a product administrator for review and resolution. The product request may be either initiated by the end user, or may automatically be initiated by the end user's computer in response to a serious error. In the latter case, diagnostic information is automatically captured and included in the product request, so that the product administrator may know the state of the end user's machine when determining the cause of the problem. In one embodiment, if the product administrator is unable to resolve the problem, he may access a database maintained by the vendor of the software and/or forward the product request to the vendor for resolution.

  • Patent number: 5848271
    Abstract: A new computerized information flow technology is provided where information in an organization may be logically and automatically routed through a predefined sequence of activities to users who need the information. A user selects an activity from a list of available activities revealed by the computer system of the present invention. Upon the user completing the activity, the computer system selects an event associated with the activity. The event then performs a decision making process to determine which next steps are to be logically selected based upon predefined conditions set in the computer system and the information input by the user. The next steps determine the subsequent user or users responsible for performing a next activity (task) in the predefined sequence of activities. The computer system of the present invention then adds a message, representative of the next activity, to a subsequent user's or users' To Do List.
