International Classification:

G06F 1700

US Classification:

707100, 707 1, 709328

Abstract:

An edit command delegation (ECD) utility that provides a user with the ability to edit an electronic file in a creator application program while the electronic file is open in a separate viewing application program operable only for viewing the electronic file. In response to a user input to edit the electronic file, the ECD utility opens the electronic file and reads an application identification tag contained within the content of the electronic file. The application identification tag identifies a creator application program, which was used to create the electronic file and is operable for editing the content data of the electronic file. Once the ECD utility reads the application identification tag, the ECD launches the creator application program. The ECD utility then causes the creator application program to open the electronic file. Once the electronic file is open, the content data is displayed in a window controlled by the creator application program to allow the user to edit the content data.

Abstract:

Server-based collaboration is initiated by an email. When the user creates the email message with attachments, a collaboration website is provisioned. The collaboration website allows collaborations on the attached documents by the recipients of the message. The ease of collaboration with email and the advantages of the collaboration server are thus both available to the user.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/02
G06Q 10/10
G06Q 50/00

Abstract:

A network system for managing network services over a given geographic area includes a recommendation engine for generating recommendations and/or promotions based on context information. Context information can include information relating to a user maintained or stored by the network system. Context information can further include information relating to a service requested by the user. In addition, context information can include information received from third-party sources such as an establishment visited by the user, a calendar service, or a financial transaction service. Based on the context information, the recommendation engine can select appropriate promotions and generate suitable recommendations for the user. In doing so, the recommendation engine can deliver particularly suitable promotions and/or recommendations at times the user is able to take action on the promotions and/or recommendations. In addition, the recommendation engine can determine whether the user fulfilled requirements of a selected promotion.
