The system includes: a processor module; a memory module including computer program code; the memory module and the computer program code configured to, with the processor module, cause the system at least to: receive (i) merchant-related data comprising a merchant identifier, and (ii) customer-related data comprising a customer identifier; determine a merchant score that is based on past transaction data associated with the merchant identifier and the customer identifier; receive an account-related score that is based on at least one attribute of an account associated with the customer identifier; and determine the customer privilege level based on the merchant score and the account-related score.

Abstract: Techniques for search with autosuggest and refinements are disclosed. In some embodiments, search with autosuggest includes determining a plurality of potential query suggestions for a partially entered query string; and automatically suggesting a plurality of queries based on a query count for each of the queries. For example, the query count can correspond to a popularity of the query. In some implementations, the query count can be determined based on a number of times that the query was received, and the plurality of queries can be listed based on the popularity of each of the plurality of queries (e.g., to facilitate display of more popular queries higher in the list of suggested queries).

Abstract: Techniques for performing query-dependent and content-class (e.g., with product class as a subset, in which content class can be based on a product class in an example implementation) based ranking are disclosed in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, a process for performing query-dependent and content-class based ranking includes receiving a query for a search for content on a web site; performing a query-dependent and content-class based ranking of content available on the web site (e.g., using a processor); and returning a ranked list of content based at least in part on the query-dependent and content-class based ranking of content available on the web site in response to the query.

Abstract: A client device is authenticated in a wireless local area network using a pairwise master key when the client device associates to a first access point. A set of neighbor devices to the client device is generated. The set includes less than a total number of access points in the wireless local area network. The pairwise master key is distributed to the neighbor devices such that the pairwise master key is not distributed to access points outside of the set of neighbor devices. Data representing the set of neighbor devices for the client device is maintained.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for determining distributing web applications. One of the methods includes associating at least one user account and at least one developer account with an application execution system, the at least one user account including user data. A web application is transferred from the developer account into a shared area accessible by the at least one user account. A request is received to associate the web application with the user account from the shared area. The web application is associated with the user account, wherein the web application is configured to access the user data of the user account, and wherein access to the user data of the user account is based on authentication associated with the user account. The installed web application is executed using the user data to create user results based on the user data.

Abstract: Techniques for search with more like this refinements are disclosed. In some embodiments, search with more like this refinements includes receiving a product and a context (e.g., the context can include related category information, user context, and/or other context related information); generating a search query based on the product and the context; and determining a plurality of products that match the search query to generate more like this search results.

Abstract: A method of streamlined web site navigation includes providing a command line interface supplemental to a graphic user interface. The command line interface accepts entry of verbs and parameters from a web site-specific vocabulary. The web site-specific vocabulary allows a user to access functions of a graphic user interface page of the web site by entering at least one verb and without navigating page links to reach the graphic user interface page. The method receives data entered at the command line interface, including the at least one verb. The method continues with identifying a particular web page responsive to the verb, and sending the particular web page towards a client system. The method may further include receiving with the data entered at the command line interface at least one parameter that modifies the verb, and identifying the particular web page responsive to the verb combined with the parameter.

Abstract: The invention includes a method for encrypting and transmitting a message M from a first location to a second location. Random numbers P and Q are initially selected, each of them being either a prime or a non-prime number. P and Q are both furnished to a sender and a recipient at the first and second locations, respectively. A client at the first location generates an encrypted message E, which is the remainder left when a modulus operator divides a first quantity, equal to M multiplied by P to the i power, where i is a selected number, by a second quantity equal to (PQ?1). A tuple comprising E and i is transmitted from the first location to the second location, and a second data processing system at the second location to determines the message M from E, i and Q.
