20140032215 | Asynchronous Video Interview System - Aspects of an asynchronous video interview system and related techniques include a server that receives a plurality of pre-recorded video prompts, generates an interview script, transmits a video prompt from the interview script to be displayed at a client computing device, and receives a streamed video response from the client computing device. The server can perform algorithmic analysis on content of the video response. In another aspect, a server obtains response preference data indicating a timing parameter for a response. In another aspect, a video prompt and an information supplement (e.g., a news item) that relates to the content of the video prompt are transmitted. In another aspect, a server automatically selects a video prompt (e.g., a follow-up question) to be displayed at the client computing device (e.g., based on a response or information about an interviewee). | 01-30-2014 |
20130311390 | Automatic data transmission in response to content of electronic forms satisfying criteria - Automatic transmission of information is generated when the content of a posted electronic form matches a predefined criteria. An interface allows the user to create a criterion template to specify the match criterion without requiring the user to have the skills of a professional programmer. The person to be notified and the form and content of the notification can also be defined by the user and can be dependent on the content of the posted form. In one application, individuals associated with an institution of higher learning are automatically notified when a student submits an electronic profile form showing that the student meets a pre-specified criteria. | 11-21-2013 |

20120317026 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INCREASING CHARITABLE DONATIONS BY PROVIDING INSTANTANEOUS DONOR RECOGNITION - Charitable donations are increased by automatically providing immediate on-line recognition of on-line donors. A list of donors is maintained on a Web page acknowledging the on-line contributions. Donor names on the list can be links to additional information about the donation or the donor. Information about donor and donation is entered by the donor, who can specify what information is to be published on the Web and what information is to remain unpublished. The donor list can be arranged in order of donation size, and donors can compete for position on the list. The donor information can indicate membership in a group, and donations can also be totaled by group to encourage donation competition between groups. | 12-13-2012 |

20090019351 | UNIVERSAL FORMS ENGINE - A forms engine allows data sharing between customizable on-line forms, such as college admissions applications. Before applying, an applicant opens an account with a third party application servicer. After the applicant completes an application for one institution, the data is saved in a data base and automatically populates fields in subsequent application forms. The form for each institution is created from a form description file. Each form is branded for its institution and forms for different institutions differ in appearance and content so that the presence of the third party servicer is transparent to the applicant. | 01-15-2009 |
