20120072500 | AUTOMATIC TRACKING OF CONTACT INTERACTIONS - In the context of recruitment and sales, it is difficult to ensure that there is a consistent level of activity tracking that occurs in a Customer Relationship Management or Applicant Tracking System (CRM/ATS, tracking application, or tracking system) from one user (e.g., recruiter or sales representative) to another within a single firm. This is due in large part to the manual and time consuming mechanics of logging the activity. Example embodiments of the present invention include a mail server component that automatically logs such activity. The system determines who the email is being sent to and from, as well as whether the email contains calendar event (e.g., appointment) information. The system then searches a database to determine if the recipients of the email message are contacts in the tracking application. If a match is found, the message is automatically added to the contacts activity record as either an inbound email, outbound email, or appointment. Activity tracking is, thus, consistently maintained among all users, ensuring a higher quality of activity-based metrics. | 03-22-2012 |

20090199120 | Customizable, reconfigurable graphical user interface - A graphical user interface (“GUI”) for a software-controlled media/data organizer and playback system including a display screen with a plurality of user-activatible search and selection buttons for use in accessing the media/data selections from one or more storage devices. The GUI, when started on a suitable system, automatically senses the system's display screen size and automatically configures the GUI buttons, windows and other characteristics of the display to conform thereto. The GUI also enables the user to configure and customize the GUI buttons, windows and other display characteristics to suit his/her particular needs and preferences. Additionally, the GUI includes an improved asynchronous media/data selection search facility that displays in a GUI search window, substantially immediately, the initial results of a search request while additional searching proceeds asynchronously “behind the scenes” until the follow-on results are ready for display. The search facility is also adopted to account for misspellings, date transposition and other errors and other errors made by the user during entry of search requests. Other improved features of the GUI include its ability to merge or synchronize the search and selection buttons and media/data selections among different systems and the ability to monitor and report details of a user's activity on a given system. | 08-06-2009 |
