In one aspect, a method for comparing suppliers includes sending survey questions for receipt by supplier computer systems. Programming instructions are also sent for receipt and execution by the supplier computer systems. The programming instructions are for causing the supplier computer systems to return supplier survey answers to a server. The answers are included in responding documents and are defined in a certain format as data elements included in the responding documents. The data elements are then parsed from the responding documents responsive to predetermined programming instructions and evaluated the data elements responsive to a predetermined set of rules.

Systems, methods and media for monitoring user specific information on websites by searching websites and displaying the results based at least partially on geographical region are disclosed. Embodiments may include receiving a search request including one or more keywords and searching a database based on the received search request to generate search results, where the search results include an indication of one or more websites each with an associated geographical region. Embodiments may also include generating a geographical user interface page based on the search results, where the page includes an indication of the one or more opinion websites superimposed on a map based on their associated geographical region. Embodiments may further include transmitting the generated geographical user interface page. Further embodiments may include generating geography-based directed advertising based on the search results or receiving and storing a rating for a website from a user.

Methods, systems, and media are disclosed for interaction between a client device having a common interface and a server device having an interface. One example embodiment includes the client device receiving user interface descriptions, in the form of xml files, from the server device, wherein the user interface descriptions comprise commands and options for possible actions on the interface of the server device. Further, the example embodiment includes mapping of the commands and options to pre-configured inputs on the common interface, thereby producing mapped inputs. Further still, the example embodiment includes transmitting a selected one of the mapped inputs from the client device to the server device for the server device to execute the selected one of the mapped inputs, that is, the underlying command or option associated with the mapped input.

A searching method in the Internet that correlates publicly available product reviews for products by initially predetermining a set of review terms indicative of a favorable review and also predetermining a set of review terms indicative of an unfavorable review. From a requesting station, databases in the Internet are searched for the product reviews as follows. Product reviews are distinguished from other documents mentioning the product that may also be in the searched databases. Each distinguished product review is then analyzed using the predetermined review terms indicative of favorable reviews and predetermined review terms indicative of unfavorable reviews. An overall determination is made as to whether each individual product review was favorable, unfavorable or balanced.

A system that will enable the sender of the E-mail to control the redistribution of the message tasks that are to be redistributed by the receiver of the E-mail. More particularly, the present invention comprises enabling the sender of E-mail to specify conditions for the redistribution of an E-mail message sent to a receiving display terminal in combination with an implementation enabling this sender to track the redistribution of the sent E-mail message and apparatus enabling the sender to change the redistribution of the E-mail message. According to the invention, initially, there is an implementation enabling a user at the terminal receiving the sent E-mail message to redistribute the sent E-mail message subject to the conditions specified by the sender. The sent E-mail message specifies tasks divided out of the sent E-mail message to be assigned, respectively, to subsequent receivers of the redistribution messages by such messages.

Systems, methods and media for updating a knowledge management system are disclosed. More particularly, hardware and/or software for determining or updating a reference count of an object are disclosed. Embodiments include receiving an indication of a request to modify an object, determining if the request includes a change to a hyperlink included in the object, and updating the reference count for the linked object in response to any change in the hyperlink. Further embodiments include receiving an indication of a request to delete an object having a reference count, determining whether other objects link to the object based on the reference count, and deleting the object in the event that no other objects link to the object. Objects may include HTML pages, files, documents, etc.

Instead of alphanumeric passwords, the entry of answers to questions that have obscure answers known only to the user is solicited. However, it is recognized that even items of obscure information could be found out by identity thieves. Therefore, many of such questions are set up, and then one or more of such questions are randomly selected to prompt the user seeking entry. This should thwart the hacker who might have come upon any one of such items of obscure information. The stored user database of questions and answers for protecting access to a secured entity may be carried on a card, such as a smart card. This portable card would include means for storing data representative of a plurality of questions requiring obscure answers known only to the user of the card. The data processor controlled display terminal protecting entry to the secured database or facility would include apparatus enabling the selective operative coupling of said portable card with said display terminal in combination with apparatus responsive to said coupling of said card to said display terminal for prompting said user on the display terminal to answer at least one of said stored questions selected at random.

An electronic entertainment center housing that organizes the mass of wiring, adapters and convertors into a user friendly arrangement that permits the insertion and removal of the electronic components supported therein, as well as the tracking of errors in the entertainment center. The housing is adapted to removably support a plurality of different consumer electronic products. There are a plurality of external I/O connection outlets of different types in the housing and there is a connections spine in the housing that includes a plurality of I/O connection outlets of different types, a plurality of electrical connector paths for connecting pairs of the outlets in the spine with each other and a plurality of electrical connector paths for connecting outlets in said spine with the external outlets in said housing. At least one converter in at least one of the electrical connector paths converts an electrical signal input to one of said outlets of the connector path into a different electrical signal output from the other outlet of the connect or path.

A cache system for a computer. In a preferred embodiment, a DFI-cache (Dynamic Frequent Instruction cache) is queried simultaneously with a main cache, and if a requested address is in either cache, a hit results. The DFI-cache retains frequently used instructions longer than the main cache, so that the main cache can invalidate lines while still enjoying the benefits of a cache hit when next accessing that line.
