Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120110608DIGITAL CONTENT AND RESPONSE PROCESSING SYSTEM AND METHOD - Systems and methods are provided for allowing responses to offers displayed with digital content. The responses may be provided on a receiver system via a conventional feedback through the same distribution channel through which the content and offer were provided, or through an alternative channel, with data being transmitted from an alternative channel device to a transacting entity. For time-shifted playback, content is identified and time-adapted offers may be provided, taking into account factors such as the content, the time of play back, the date of play back, and so forth. The alternate response channel may be more suitable for time-adapted offer responses then for contemporaneously transmitted offers.05-03-2012
20120110627TIME-ADAPTED CONTENT DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system for coordinated playback of time-shifted content with time-adapted complimentary content is provided. The time-shifted content may be played back from storage media, both local and remote. Time-shifting may occur by independent playback such as from optical discs and other memory devices, as well as from user manipulation of features in a playback system based upon real-time or near real-time content distribution. The content is identified, along with timing information identifying where in the content the playback is occurring. Time-adapted complimentary content may then be selected and transmitted to the playback system. Such time-adapted content may include advertisement, product and service offerings, complimentary information, audio and/or video content, and so forth.05-03-2012

20090150773DYNAMIC PRODUCT CONFIGURATION USER INTERFACE - Configuration user interfaces are dynamically generated in different installation scenarios independently of the application logic being configured. Page definition files specify control properties. Description fragments, extracted from the page definition files, are merged at run time with page templates selected to match the interface type of the target computer. A user interface page is generated on the target computer user interface using one of a plurality of display engines appropriate for the target computer user interface type. User interface generation may be part of a wizard which passes user input to application logic for validation.06-11-2009

20080255694Evaluating supplier capacity - Methods and systems evaluate a capacity of a supplier to meet a capacity requirement for a part for a time period. In one implementation, a method is provided. According to the method, a forecast is transmitted to a supplier that indicates the capacity requirement. The method receives an actual capacity of the supplier to produce the part for the time period and determines whether the actual capacity of the supplier meets the capacity requirement. When the actual capacity of the supplier does not meet the capacity requirement, the method receives, from the supplier, a plan specifying how the supplier plans to meet the capacity requirement.10-16-2008
