A system and method is provided for optimizing a SyncML slow sync between a proprietary client and server. When a slow sync is detected, the client and server can depart from the normal SyncML protocol and process summary data without having to compare all items on a field-by-field basis.

A system and method for tracking information in a business environment. The system uses a tree-view hierarchy whereby alerts and time triggers are set by the user and upon the triggering of an event, the visual attributes of the tree-view folders change to reflect the triggering event.

An authentication system and method of use thereof are provided to authenticate a user involved in a transaction. The system comprises a communications interface configured to receive a one-time code generated by an electronic device, wherein the one-time code is generated by an electronic device responsive to successful verification of biometric information at the point of use of the electronic device, and one or more processors configured to retrieve account information associated with a user of the electronic device, wherein the account information is retrieved in response to receiving the one-time code, and to use the retrieved account information to access account identifying information or identifying information associated with the user of the electronic device.

Information is generated indicative of frequency of search terms presented to at least one online search service. As event indications, indicative of user interaction generally with front end servers, are being provided for persistent storage, ones of the event indications that are indicative of search events are detected. The detected ones of the search event indications are processed and it is determined, based at least in part thereon, by location, frequency data indicative of a frequency of each of a plurality of search terms presented to the at least one online search service. An indication of at least some of the frequency data is caused to be associated with indications of locations to which the frequency data corresponds. For example, the frequency data may be displayed superimposed on a map.

A system and method for communicating information relating to a network resource. A server computer and a client computer for displaying related information about another document or information requested. Guiding individuals to places of interest on a network where information is stored, and/or displaying or otherwise presenting useful information to the user.

An authentication system and method of use are provided to enable a transaction involving a first party and a user, the system comprising an electronic device comprising a communications interface and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to receive biometric information of the user and generate a one-time code in response to authenticating the user, wherein at least a portion of the one-time code is used to access account identifying information or user identifying information, wherein the communications interface is configured to communicate a signal comprising the one-time code to the first party in order to enable a transaction on behalf of the user, and wherein the received biometric information is verified at a point of use.

A computer program for managing and manipulating archive zip files of a computer. The program includes a system and method for opening, creating, and modifying, and extracting zip archive files. The program is fully integrated into Microsoft Windows Explorer and is accessed via Explorer menus, toolbars, and/or drag and drop operations. An important feature of the program is the archive manager which may be used to open a zip file, create a new zip file, extract zip files, modify zip files, etc. The program is integrated into Microsoft Windows Explorer using the shell name space extension application program interface developed by Microsoft.

A method for authenticating file operations on files and folders stored in a database file system where the database file system can authenticate a client-user request based upon the client-user's database credentials. The database file system has the capability of storing file permissions based on database credentials. Once a client requests a certain file operation, the client's operating system first determines whether the client has sufficient privileges to perform the requested file operation. If the client has privileges, the client operating system forwards the file operation request to the database file system. The database file system then authenticates the client, based on his database credentials, to determine whether or not to perform the requested file operation.

A communications platform having an XML based message-processing platform that enables users to receive electronic messages. The processing platform may include at least one server that receives an electronic message addressed to the platform, wherein the electronic message includes a routing indicator including at least one user identity and one or more message attributes. The one or more message attributes may include folios which include information folios that at least one of intelligently store, display and synthesize incoming electronic messages. The platform further includes at least one database that stores a user-defined endpoint table, the endpoint table correlating endpoints with sender defined message attributes. In this embodiment, the platform may include a sender stylesheet and an electronic message stylesheet that describes an activity and an event.
