A standalone notification system, including a notification server which generates electronic messages for alerting customers of potentially fraudulent activity on one or more of their financial accounts. Alternatively, or in addition thereto, the notification system may be used to forward transaction code(s) to customers for verification of a request for high risk transaction(s) with respect to a customer's financial account. The transaction code is generated in response to a high risk transaction request and sent to through an identified customer notification means, e.g., e-mail, short message service (“SMS”), facsimile, mobile phone, telephone, etc. The customer must enter the transaction code within a predetermined amount of time in order to verify the high-risk transaction request.

Method and system for notifying customers of transaction opportunities

A dashboard manager can be used to create, manage and deploy dashboards. Each dashboard can include one or more user interface elements (“widgets”). The dashboard manager can be invoked for providing a variety of management functions. In another aspect, dashboards, widgets and other content can be bundled together and distributed to users over a distribution channel. Users can created custom bundles using a tool that is provided for such purpose.

Management and generation of dashboards

Techniques are described for effecting data aggregation in a network. Event notifications are received from a plurality of content sites on the network (Fig. 1, 105). Each event notification indicates occurrence of an event associated with a corresponding one of the content sites (Fig. 1, 102). Each event corresponds to a change to content associated with the corresponding content site. In response to each event notification, event metadata are generated. The event metadata include a time stamp for the event and change data corresponding to the change to the content. The event metadata are indexed in a plurality of databases with reference to a plurality of index metrics including the time stamp. The indexing of the event metadata for each event occurs within days, hours, or even minutes of receipt of the corresponding event notification thereby enabling retrieving of the changes to the content from the plurality of databases using any of the index metrics in near real time.

Ecosystem method of aggregation and search and related techniques

Methods and systems consistent with the present invention (FIG. 2, 200, 202, 204, 206, 208) provide an improved software development tool that generates code corresponding to a distributed computing component that contains methods of a plurality of types and that displays a graphical representation of the code with a separately delineated display area for each type (FIG. 13, 1300, 1302, 1304). The improved software development tool also compiles, deploys, and debugs the distributed computing component with a client software component using methods and systems consistent with the present invention (FIG. 19, 1900).

Methods and systems for supporting and deploying distributed computing components

Apparatus and methods relating to mobile widgets. In particular, apparatus and methods for integrating network services and/or network resources with widget capabilities, managing mobile widgets, providing portability to mobile widgets, and generating content with respect to a mobile widget. In one aspect, a method for integration of network services and/or resources with widget capabilities is provided. The method may include providing for an interface between a widget management component and at least one of a network resource or a network service. The method may also include accessing, at the widget management component via the interface, at least one of a network resource or network service. Further, the method may include integrating the network resource or the network service with a widget functionality.

Apparatus and methods for managing widgets in a wireless communication environment

The present invention provides a system and method for integrating the disparate platforms and software applications, and dynamic generation of web content in a user effort efficient manner. The system of the present invention uses an Web Content Server (800) to interact with disparate systems and to improve the productivity of building web content. The Web Content Server provides a page engine or platform that separates data production, interaction elements, and display information and maintains these aspects of page production in different files.
