摘要:
A system for harvesting information from network-based sources for a user has a network-connected server with software stored on and operable from a data repository accessible to the server, a user profile stored in the repository, comprising identification of network information sites storing information personal to the user, user ID for enabling the server to log in to the sites on behalf of the user, and one or more report algorithms associated with pre-defined user requests. The server, executing the software, upon receiving one of the pre-defined requests from the user, visits and gathers information from one or more sites indicated in the user profile, and presents a report to the user comprising the information gathered, formatted according to the report algorithm associated with the user's request.

A system for transacting in a network includes a service broker connected to the network, having access to necessary credentials, a service provider connected to the network, requiring credentials for transacting in regard to a client, and a client station connected to the network. A client using the client station sends a preliminary request for a transaction to the service broker, which initiates, at the appropriate time, the transaction for the client by a request to the service provider, accompanied by the appropriate credentials, and the service broker monitors the service provider after the write request for an acknowledgement of the request.

A networked-based system for providing online verification of users applying for third-party services available through the network is provided. The system employs a first server node connected to the network for offering application to third-party services through the network, a user node connected the network for accessing the first server node and applying for third-party services, a second server node connected to the network and accessible from the first server node, the second server node for processing verification requests communicated from the first server node, a third server node connected the network and accessible from the second server node, the third server node for navigating on the network by proxy according to navigation requests communicated from the second server node and a data repository accessible at least to the second server node for storing data about users being verified. A user operating the user node accesses the first server node and applies for a service or services offered through the first server node and submits data for verification, the first server node sending the data in the form of a verification request to the second server node, the second server node creating a navigation request containing a portion of the submitted data and sending the navigation request to third server, the third server performing the navigation according to the request and reporting navigation results back to the second server, the second server reporting the results back to the first server for verification purposes.
摘要:
A system for establishing a direct network connection between a first and a second node over a data-packet-network includes a third network node having connection to the data-packet-network for providing an electronic interface accessible to the first node; a navigation agent directed by the third network node for navigating over the network to the second node to gather information; and at least one machine-readable instruction containing the instruction for directing and implementing the direct network connection. The electronic interface may be a Web page providing bill consolidation and payment services to a client operating the first node and wherein the connection established via the instruction enables transparent login payment of a bill at the second node, which may be a direct billing party interface of the client registered and listed on the Web page.

A system for updating parameters of financial transactions associated with financial services initiated and completed on behalf of or directly by a user through access to a data-packet-network into more than one electronic interface accessible to the user is provided. The system comprises, a main electronic interface supported by back-end software, the main interface for registering all user accounts into at least one portfolio group, the accounts accessible in detail through the main interface, at least one cobranded electronic interface supported by back-end software, the cobranded interface mirroring the accounts registered in the main electronic interface and a plurality of institution-specific electronic interfaces for providing direct account registration, reporting, and maintenance specific to accounts provided by the associated institutions. Through direct linking between the main, cobranded, and institution-specific interfaces, any parameters associated with any action initiated to a specific account through any of the interfaces is immediately propagated to the other interfaces.

An advertisement selection and delivery system for selecting advertisements based on profile information and rendering the advertisements as accessible to a user operating a network-capable appliance connected to a data-packet-network is provided. The system comprises, a first server node connected to the network, the first server node functioning as a user access point on the network, a mass storage repository accessible to the first server node, the repository for storing and serving user profile data, a second server node connected to the network, the second server node for generating user preference data, at least one advertisement server connected to the network, the advertisement server for serving advertisement data, a software application for generating user preference lists and performing advertisement selection and at least one network-capable appliance connected to the network the network-capable appliance for receiving the advertisement data. A user operating the network-capable appliance accesses the first server node and receives the advertisement data, the advertisement data selected for service by matching the user preference data to stored advertisements and rendered accessible to the user during the time of user access to the system from the network-capable appliance.
摘要:
A software application for enabling creation and execution of an automated browser navigation sequence is provided. The software application comprises a session recording module for recording parameters associated with a manual navigation sequence, a file creation module for converting data of a manual session into data comprising an executable sequence of instructions for conducting an automated navigation sequence, and an application-program-interface module for integrating a functional capability with the automated navigation sequence. The automated navigation sequence is characterized in that a completely automated browser-navigation sequence performed by the browser application is enabled through execution of the executable instruction sequence created from the recorded parameters of the manual navigation sequence.
