20080222506 | Minimizing Accesses to a Repository During Document Reconstitution in a Content Management System - A content management system (CMS) provides a way to minimize accesses to a repository when reconstituting a document. When a document is first reconstituted, the CMS reads links in the document, reads the corresponding objects from the repository, then stores the values of those objects in fallback elements in the document. In addition, a list is generated that provides both original links to the objects in the repository and voidable links to those object, and the document is then modified, if needed, to reference the voidable links. When the document needs to be subsequently reconstituted, the repository is queried to determine which of the objects corresponding to the original links have not changed since the last reconstitution. If the object has not changed, the voidable link in the list is invalidated for the object, causing the fallback element to be used without accessing the repository. | 09-11-2008 |
20080270882 | PROVIDING NAVIGATION OBJECTS FOR COMMUNICATIONS OVER A NETWORK - Communications between participants over a communications link are proxied by an intermediary, such as an Integrated Order Mechanism (IOM). Participants interact with each other through the IOM. The IOM may be transparent to the participants such that they are not aware that the IOM is involved in processing communications. For example, in the context of a transaction by a customer making a purchase from a merchant over the Internet, the IOM facilitates the processing of transactions by processing requests from both the customer and the merchant. Neither the customer nor the merchant may be aware that the transactions are being handled by the IOM. Navigation objects may be provided for the communications over a network. For example, a navigation bar may be included on a merchant web page to provide the customer with a link back to a shopping application provided by the IOM. | 10-30-2008 |
20080288856 | DIGITAL SYSTEM FOR ORGANIZING DIVERSE INFORMATION - A system for creating links among diverse elements in order to convey a variety of logical relationships. The system uses a unique approach to browser development in order to allow for the delayed transformation of data which has undergone either a change to its actual value, or a change in its relationship to other data. Linked data is left unevaluated until a user desires to view the data through a user interface. This delayed evaluation conserves bandwidth and system resources, and further enables the system to more efficiently create, organize, and maintain relationships between large volumes of diverse elements. | 11-20-2008 |

20110209041 | Discrete voice command navigator - Disclosed is a discrete voice-activated navigation software enabling users to navigate through web-pages displayed in an internet browser by simply uttering a discrete character assigned to a hyperlink by an algorithm. This algorithm scans a webpage locating text hyperlinks and identifying any unique letter(s) within the hyperlink, i.e. all characters are matched against a database of already used tags in order to find a unique character. If available, it is assigned. If no single character is available, then a continuous set of double and if needed triple lettered tags are assigned. Illustrative hyperlinks can be activated by the selection of tags on sideline grids providing a non-intrusive alternative to clicking. Logically, differences in emphasis, pronunciation, tone, amplitude and pitch are far too great to invoke the correct response if a whole word is said. Thus discrete characters would provide least audible differences resulting in minimal errors or processing difficulty. | 08-25-2011 |
