20090164886 | NON-LINEAR SLIDER SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Systems and methods disclosed herein accept a user-selected adjustment position associated with a value-selection display screen widget. A non-linear calculation is performed on the user-selected adjustment position, a length of the screen widget, a smallest represented value associated with a range of values, a largest represented value associated with a range of values, and/or an adjustment granularity associated with the display screen widget. The non-linear calculation determines a selected value corresponding to the user-selected adjustment position. The selected value is then sent to a physical output device. Additional embodiments are disclosed and claimed. | 06-25-2009 |
20100223244 | TARGETED MULTI-DIMENSION DATA EXTRACTION FOR REAL-TIME ANALYSIS - Methods and systems for extracting targeted data for real-time reporting are discussed. In an example, a system can include a data store, a server, and a denormalized database. The data store can maintain data created by an application. The server can be communicatively coupled to the data store. The server can include a data extraction module and a data compression module. The data extraction module can extract a subset of the data stored in the data store according to an extraction scheme. The data compression module can compress the extracted subset of the data into a set of aggregated key value pairs. The denormalized database can store the aggregated key value pairs. | 09-02-2010 |

20110238615 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREND AWARE SELF-CORRECTING ENTITY RELATIONSHIP EXTRACTION - Methods and systems for trend aware self-correcting entity relationship extraction are disclosed. For example, a method can include receiving a selected entity, determining a plurality of entities related to the selected entity, determining a plurality of most probable entities, calculating relevance scores, and displaying a subset of the plurality of most probable entities. The selected entity can be received on a network-based transaction system. The plurality of entities related to the selected entity can be determined based on a relationship score. The relationship score can represent navigation transitions, aggregated over time, between the selected entity and each of the plurality of entities. The plurality of most probable entities can be determined based on probabilities. Relevance scores can be calculated for each of the plurality of most probable entities. Finally, the subset of the plurality of most probable entities to be displayed can be determined according to the relevance scores. | 09-29-2011 |
20120173553 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ATTRIBUTE-BASED SEARCH FILTERING - A method and a system filter search results according to attributes of current results. A plurality of content elements is tagged so each content element is associated with a plurality of tags. Each tag describes an attribute of at least one of the plurality of content elements. A first listing of results is provided to a user. Each of the results in the first listing includes a content element and the plurality of tags associated with the content element. A first selection of a first tag in a first result of the first listing received from a user. A second selection of a second tag is received from the user. The second tag may be in the first result or in a second result of the first listing of results. A second listing of results is provided to the user where each of the results of the second listing includes at least the first tag and the second tag. | 07-05-2012 |
20120215664 | EPURCHASE MODEL - In various example embodiments, a system and associated method to enhance a user experience in an online environment is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a request over a network from a user where the request includes keywords to be used in a search for one or more items; the results from the search being displayed in a webpage. A determination is made whether to track metrics related to user activities associated with the results from the search. Based on a determination that the user activities are to be tracked, determining factors based on the tracked metrics related to the user activities, calculating a predictive model using one or more processors based on the determined factors, and displaying an enhanced webpage where components in the enhanced webpage are based on the predictive model. | 08-23-2012 |
