The system and method include receiving from at least one potential renter, at least one lead directed to a property listing associated with a lister. The system and method include consolidating two or more leads received from the same potential renter into a lead group. The system and method further include billing the lister according to the number of distinct leads received from potential renters counting each lead group as a distinct lead.

Abstract:

In some example embodiments, a system and method are illustrated to consolidate leads received from multiple user devices used by a single user. The system and method may include identifying a first plurality of leads received from one or more user devices as being submitted by a same user via the one or more user devices. The first plurality of leads may be directed to a listing provided by a lister. The first plurality of leads may be added to a lead group. Then, a second plurality of leads received from one or more users including the same user may be forwarded to the lister. The forwarding may include notifying the lister of a first count of the second plurality of leads. The first count may include the lead group counted as one lead.

Abstract:

In some example embodiments, a system and method are illustrated to bill a lister for lead received from potential renters within a lead threshold. The system and method include setting a lead threshold for a lister. The lead threshold may specify a maximum number of leads relating to a property listing that will be communicated to the lister. The system and method include receiving a lead from potential renters. The lead may be related to the property listing associated with the lister. The system and method include automatically determining whether the lead threshold has been exceeded. The system and method include communicating the lead to the lister based on a determination that the lead threshold has not been exceeded.

International Classification:

H01H 904

US Classification:

2003021

Abstract:

The front panel of a control panel is provided with a recess for receiving a keypad. The recess is larger than the keypad to define a channel between the edges of the keypad and the sides of the recess. A sealant fills the channel to provide a smooth transition between the front panel and the keypad that protects the edges of the keypad and prevents the entry of moisture and debris into the channel. The control panel can be assembled by fixing the keypad within the recess, placing a temporary barrier over the top surface of the channel, and introducing the sealant into the channel. The sealant can be introduced through one or more ports in either the front panel or the temporary barrier. The temporary barrier is removed when the sealant hardens within the channel.
