| 20080294997 | Contextually Aware Client Application - Techniques and processes for subsidizing network access via content and advertising revenue are described. In one implementation, a user installs a context bar tool on the user's computing device. To access a network (e.g., a wireless network), the user activates the context bar tool and requests access to a network, such as the Internet. A network services provider detects the context bar tool and provides network access to the user. A content and ads service gathers content and advertising and populates a context bar graphic interface that is displayed on the user's device with the content and advertising. Providers of the content and advertising pay for this exposure and thus generate revenue that can be used to offset the cost of providing the network access and other network services. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20090089681 | Method and system for controlling access to database information - A method and system for controlling access to database information. One embodiment of the method includes a controlled interface through which database queries can be issued by an authorized user. Additionally, each authorized user may be granted access to specific scripts or tools that operate in conjunction with information stored by a database. Upon logging into the system, a user can be provided via the controlled interface a selection of scripts that he or she is authorized to use in conjunction with the database information. To enable operation of these scripts, specific information within the database is linked to particular scripts. Therefore, a user's access to database information is restricted by the scripts he or she can use with the database. When new information is added to the database and linked to specific scripts, it is automatically available to users granted access to one or more of those scripts. | 04-02-2009 |
