20120303418 | DYNAMIC PRICING OF ACCESS TO CONTENT WHERE PRICING VARIES WITH USER BEHAVIOR OVER TIME TO OPTIMIZE TOTAL REVENUE AND USERS ARE MATCHED TO SPECIFIC CONTENT OF INTEREST - Computer-implemented systems and methods that provide dynamic, essentially real time pricing of users' access to content represented by articles where the pricing varies over time with user behavior to reflect the actual values that users place at any point in time on access to the articles. | 11-29-2012 |
20150193798 | CONTENT CREATION AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM WITH AUTOMATED ESTIMATING, PRIOR TO PUBLICATION, OF VALUES AND/OR READERSHIPS OF ANSWERS TO REMOTELY POSTED QUESTIONS AND MAKING RESULTS AVAILABLE TO REMOTELY LOCATED POTENTIAL PUBLISHERS OF ANSWERS - A computer system and method in which users remotely access a system to proffer content that users can access from remote locations. The system automatically stores content together with parameters that pertain to the content and facilitate users' access, and automatically and dynamically prices access to the articles in a manner relating prices to user behavior. In one improvement, the system and method enrich the system by adding automated selection of potential providers of answers to questions that users post and an automatic selection of suitable recipients of answers to those questions, and also by adding dynamic pricing for access to the answers that may differ for different classes of access and for different times of access. | 07-09-2015 |
20150206112 | COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM FOR DELIVERING REASONABLY PRICED ACCESS TO CONTENT FROM MANY PUBLISHERS AND FOR ANALYZING SEARCH RESULTS TO AUTOMATICALLY PROVIDE ACCESS TO MATERIAL REFERENCED THEREIN - A computer system and method that expand a user's access to content matching the user's interests, in an environment of providing dynamic, essentially real time pricing of users' access to content, which pricing varies over time with user behavior to reflect actual values that users place on access to the answers. | 07-23-2015 |
20150206160 | AUTOMATES SYSTEM FOR DELIVERING PRICED ACCESS TO CONTENT WHERE PRICES VARY WITH USER BEHAVIOR, INCLUDING FACILITIES TO DERIVE ACCUMULATED RATING OF ARTICLES, AUTHORS, AND/OR PUBLISHERS AS AIDS FOR LOCATING CONTENT MATCHING USERS' INTERESTS - A computer system and method in which users remotely access a system to proffer content that users can access from remote locations. The system automatically stores content together with parameters that pertain to the content and facilitate users' access, and automatically and dynamically prices access to the articles in a manner relating prices to user behavior. In one improvement, the system and method enrich the system by calculating, and updating over time with change of pertinent events, accumulated ratings for articles, authors, and/or publishers, and displaying the ratings to users to aid in the selection of articles matching the user's interests. | 07-23-2015 |
20150206161 | COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM FOR DELIVERING REASONABLY PRICED ACCESS TO CONTENT TO REMOTELY LOCATED USERS AT PRICES VARYING IN TIME PER USER BEHAVIOR AND WITH AUTOMATED ACCESS TO OUTSIDE WEBSITES MATCHING A USER'S INQUIRY OR INTEREST - A computer system and method that expand a user's access to content matching the user's interests, in an environment of providing dynamic, essentially real time pricing of users' access to content, which pricing varies over time with user behavior to reflect actual values that users place on access to the answers. To expand a user's access to content, the system automatically searches and analyzes content on websites that are outside the system for additional content that matches the user's search queries or other expression of interest, and offers the user access to the additional content that may be free or at prices determined by the outside websites and/or the system. | 07-23-2015 |
20150221002 | COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM FOR DELIVERING REASONABLY PRICED ACCESS TO CONTENT FROM MANY PUBLISHERS, INCLUDING PROVIDING OPTIMIZED PRICING OF REMOTE-ACCESS SUBSCRIPTIONS TO MEDIA CONTENT INCORPORATING VALUE OF INDIVIDUAL ITEMS OF CONTENT - A computer system and method in which users remotely access a system to proffer content that authorized users can access from remote locations. The system automatically stores content together with parameters that pertain to the content and facilitate users' access, and automatically and dynamically prices access to the articles in a manner relating prices to user behavior. In one improvement, the system and method enrich the system by calculating subscription prices for access to specified portions of the content, where the prices differ from each other based at least on the scope of content that a user selects. | 08-06-2015 |
20150227953 | HOLDING ACCESS PRICE CONSTANT FOR SELECTED TIME WHEN ACCESS PRICES CHANGE DYNAMICALLY IN AN AUTOMATES SYSTEM FOR DELIVERING REASONABLY PRICED ACCESS TO CONTENT - A computer-implemented system and method that provide dynamic, essentially real time pricing of users' access to content represented by articles, which pricing varies over time with user behavior to reflect actual values that users place on access to the articles. The system includes an improvement that freezes the access price of an article for some period of time after a user selects the article to enable the user to make a purchasing decision based on the access price at a time related to the time the user selected the article, while the access price for the same article may change for other users. | 08-13-2015 |
20150294337 | CONTENT CREATION AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM THAT DYNAMICALLY PRICES ACCESS BASED ON USER BEHAVIOR - A computer system and method in which users remotely access a system to proffer content users can access from remote locations. The system automatically stores content together with parameters that pertain to the content and facilitate users' access, and automatically and dynamically prices access to the articles in a manner relating prices to user behavior. In one improvement, the system and method enrich the system by adding automated selection of potential providers of answers to questions that users post and an automatic selection of suitable recipients of answers to those questions, and also by adding dynamic pricing for access to the answers that may differ for different classes of access and for different times of access. | 10-15-2015 |
