  • Patent number: 9672493
    Abstract: Described are systems and methods for detecting and processing recurring electronic communications. A graphical user interface (GUI) event is detected that includes a selection and a drag-and-drop of a first electronic communication object onto a second electronic communication object. A similarity is determined between the first and second electronic communication objects. At least one search criteria rule is automatically generated from the at least one similarity in response to detecting the GUI event.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9094138
    Abstract: An approach is provided in which a data collection system loads a user interface form on a display screen. The user interface form includes an entry field and an extraction formula with a corresponding element type that adheres to an industry-specific schema. The data collection system receives a data packet from a broadcast device, which includes an element value and an element type identifier adhering to the same industry-specific schema. In turn, the data collection system determines whether the element type identifier matches the element type and, if so, the data collection system populates the entry field on the display screen with the element value.

  • Patent number: 8914437
    Abstract: Systems and methods of managing URLs including capturing and recording URLs are presented. A digital processor detects a URL in a communication communicated between a sending-user and a receiving-user. The detected URL is automatically stored in a cache memory specific to the sending-user or receiving-user. The cache memory allows bookmarking of URLs to be avoided and centrally stores the URLs in browser history of the respective user improving his searching efficiency. The cache memory serves as a pre-bookmark incubator or filter.
