The system constantly monitors a multitude of sources and updates information in the network, allowing users to receive the latest and most relevant information.

Lot 8 focuses on website content management and addresses the need for a simpler, more effective method for dynamic website setup. The Lot discloses a method of conducting semi-dynamic updates by generating “search engine optimized” static HTML pages on a PC or server and batch uploading new and revised files to a web server to keep the locations in sync.

Lot 10 relates to a method of graphically indexing search results allowing users to see the content contained on each of the web pages found in a search. By employing this technology, which produces user-friendly search engine interfaces, users will no longer be limited to textual results and will instead have the ability to compare pictures with the information for which they are searching.

Potential acquirers for the aforementioned patent assets may include employment agencies and online job listing companies; electronic document publishers; online database management companies; social networking companies; ISPs; Internet and mobile browser companies; mobile phone and software companies; wireless companies; telecommunications companies; and Internet search engine companies.
