Dear Sirs, We would like to offer you the following patented solutions that might interest you.
1) METHOD FOR RENTING SOFTWARE PRODUCTS AND OTHER ELECTRONIC DATA (AUDIO, VIDEO, ETC.) Priority date - 16.03.2001. This method allows a user to use software products and electronic data in exchange for processing advertising information. A fee for the use of software products (audio/video files) will be paid to their owners on the expense of advertisers who pay for viewing advertising by a user. This method does not involve a permanent connection to a remote resource and extends a range of rental software products. The novelty of the invention consists in the method of providing a user with advertising information and the way of settling accounts between an advertiser and an owner of a software product (or audio/video files). A distribution center for software and electronic data can be created on the basis of this method, which will attract a great number of software developers and users. This fact will increase the volume of advertising information and provide its targeted delivery. This fact will also interest big advertisers. 2) METHOD FOR WORKING WITH LISTS OF LINKS. Priority date - 15.02.2001. This method makes it possible to work with heterogeneous links (for example, web links, links to files stored on a local computer, links to records in a corporate database, etc). Logical operations can be applied to lists of links. This method also allows a user to specify new formats of links and add new operations that will be performed on lists. These and other capabilities of this invention allow economizing time for processing information and they can be applied both while working on the Internet and with office applications and local data. Any search operation results in creating a list of links to information sources. As a rule, a user conducts several search operations and it is ineffective sometimes to perform these operations separately. The possibility to carry out logical operations on lists (merging, coincidence and difference checking) allows optimizing information processing. The practical application this and other features of the present invention is effective in the following fields: - Online services intended to store and process lists of heterogeneous links. The advantages over existing analogs will attract a new category of users. - The possibility allowing a user to process results (lists of links) will increase the length of work session with your resources. - Integration into application systems will extend their functionality. - Integration into databases will reduce response time of a system and speed up data processing. 3) METHOD OF METASEARCH. Priority date - 15.02.2001. Existing meta-search systems have a number of disadvantages (in particular, a little set of search capabilities), which makes users access directly search resources and as a result restricts an audience of users. Our method makes it possible to use all search parameters of each search engines used in meta-search and extend their capabilities due to search query preprocessing. Besides, our invention allows uses to add new search engines for conducting meta-search. This new method can use simultaneously both local and remote resources. These and other advantages of the present invention will allow users to avoid disadvantages of existing meta- search systems and make the search process on the Internet easier, which will result in increasing the number of users. 4) METHOD FOR A DEFERRED RETRIEVAL AND DISPLAYING INFORMATION FROM REMOTE RESOURCES. Priority date - 15.02.2001. This method erases the distinction between information processing in online and offline modes. The user will not have to interrupt the main work for viewing information found while surfing the Web. Besides, this method also optimizes the process of retrieving information from remote resources. The invention makes it possible to increase the amount of advertising information viewed by the user and its efficiency. The use of this method extends the range of software products promoted on adware basis (not only Internet-oriented ones), because they can be used without a permanent connection to remote resources. The creation of a specialized software product using this method will allow Internet advertising agencies (paying users for processing online advertising, banners, etc) to increase the efficiency of advertising campaign. 5) METHOD OF SEARCHING FOR DOCUMENTS OR THEIR FRAGMENTS SIMILAR BY TEXT AND SEMANTIC CONTENTS. Priority date - 06.04.2001. This method solves the problem connected with searching for both identical and similar documents and their fragments among large arrays of unstructured information. This allows a user not to view the same information and thus, economize time. This method classifies automatically all incoming information. The practical deployment of the present invention will change the direction of development of information retrieval systems. The method will produce a greater effect, if it is integrated into: - Internet search engines, - information retrieval and archival systems, - document management systems, - application systems of a personal use (download manager, email applications, etc). The Eurasian patent organization took a decision to issue patents to us that will be protected on the territory of nine states of the Commonwealth of Independent States, including the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan. The patents published in the fifth bulletin of the Eurasian Patent Organization by the end of October 2001. We are going to file applications in WIPO under PCT procedure รจ then in national patent department of economically developed states. As you know, an interim legal protection of our inventions begins since the priority data and we are going to keep track of any cases of use of our inventions. If our proposal interests you and you are ready to license our patents, we can already today consider ways of licensing. If necessary, we can provide you with any materials related to our patents. We will be grateful for any device and suggestion. If you have any counteroffer, we are ready to examine and discuss it. If our proposal does not interest you, please inform us about it in order not to bother you again. Look forward to your reply Sincerely Yours, Vlad Klenov mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
