20100179998STATEFUL SERVER BASED SOCIAL NETWORKING USING MOBILE DEVICES - The present invention provides methods and systems for using a stateful server for social networking using mobile devices. In one embodiment, a user uses a mobile device to register for a networking service offered by the stateful server. The stateful server transmits several tiers of service options to the user, and generates responses based on the user's selection to the service options. The stateful server establishes a unique state for each session initiated by the user, and stores all information related to the session in association with the unique state. The stateful server removes hyperlinks from text messages transmitted to the user's mobile device. The stateful server stores correlation information of the removed hyperlinks in association with the unique state. The stateful server enables the user to establish a friend network and to transmit information associated with the unique state to contacts within the friend network.07-15-2010

20110125846BROADCAST NOTIFICATIONS USING SOCIAL NETWORKING SYSTEMS - A notifier sends out notifications to potential viewers or listeners of a broadcast stream via social networking systems or other communication channels. The notifier stores information about a user's preferences and identity on the social networking systems. After the notifier receives a notification request from a broadcaster, the notifier commands broadcaster agents deployed in the social networking systems or in the notifier to send notification messages to users of the social networking systems registered to receive notification. The broadcaster agents function as a proxy that establishes relationships with users of the social networking systems and then sends out the notification messages to the users with established relationships.05-26-2011

20090222129Mothod and system for order fulfullment in a distribution center - Order allocation techniques that reduce the number of stops that a container makes in the process of fulfilling a customer order is disclosed. In one embodiment, this is accomplished by first identifying a pod that stocks the largest number of different items in a customer order. Then, a second pod is identified that stocks the largest number of remaining items in the customer order. Ultimately, all items in the customer order are assigned a pod. The collection of pods defines a container path through the distribution center.09-03-2009
20100241269Inventory replication based upon order fulfillment rates - A load balancing technology segregates various inventory types (e.g., potatoes vs. milk, vs. pretzels, vs. tissue paper, etc.) based upon how frequently they are ordered in a distribution center. Inventory types that are ordered at the slowest rate are not “replicated” over multiple pods in the distribution center. Rather, they are constrained to reside at a single pod within the distribution center. Items that are ordered somewhat more frequently than those in the slowest group are replicated in multiple pods across the distribution center. In other words, these items are separately stocked at locations on more than one pod in the distribution center. This means that a container passing through the distribution center can obtain each of the items in the second group of item types at multiple pods in the distribution center. Thus, these items do not create a bottleneck in the order fulfillment process. Inventory types in a third group, the fastest movers, are segregated from items in the first two groups. They are stored in a separate type of pod that fulfills orders even faster than the other type of pods.09-23-2010
