International Classification:

G06F015/16
G06F017/30
G06F007/00

709/206000, 707/010000

Abstract:

Systems and methods effect audit resource planning and data collection and storage by selectively capturing and storing for future reference all relevant electronic correspondence, including emails and attachments, transmitted between a company and a company's vendors or business partners. Systems and methods utilize operator-defined selection criteria to determine whether electronic correspondence is pertinent. Selection criteria is applied in either real-time to incoming and outgoing emails, or to past emails. Emails, and scanned paper documents, identified by the selection criteria as pertinent are stored in a searchable and retrievable format to enable an auditor or post-audit provider to access the necessary documentation.

US Classification:

705001000, 705030000

Abstract:

The systems, methods and computer program products of the present invention provide an expedited process for reviewing, validating and approving claims in a recovery audit. The claims are electronically packaged with supporting documents and securely distributed to clients. In an illustrative embodiment, a client receives an e-mail notice that one or more claims are ready for review, and via an Internet browser can review, approve and comments on one or more claims prepared by an auditor. Because the support documentation is immediately available, all parties have the same material as the basis of the claim before them to understand the source of the recovery. Once approved by the client (also referred to as the claimant), the same claim and supporting documentation can be provided to the vendor for review, and if appropriate, approval. Through this process, the present invention records communications among the parties to ensure a complete record.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709229

Abstract:

A method performed by a validator computer system for facilitating electronic communications from a sender to an electronic message program associated with a recipient. The method includes registering the sender in the validator system, registering the recipient in the validator system, and receiving approval from the recipient to designate the sender as an authorized sender for the recipient in the validator system. The method further includes designating the approved sender as an authorized sender for the recipient in the validator system in response to the approval from the recipient and communicating with a message filter associated with the message program associated with the recipient to add the sender to an authorized sender list of the filter.

International Classification:

A47G 500

US Classification:

160135

Abstract:

An array of panels foldably connected such that the array may be collapsed into a single stack of panels, and a method of manufacturing such an array. The array has at least three rows of panels, where the first and second rows have at least two panels and the third row has at least one panel. The panels in each row are foldably connected so that each row of panels may be collapsed into a single stack of panels. Each row of panels is connected to the row of panels below it so that the individual stacked rows may be further collapsed onto each other to form a single stack of panels. With this folding scheme, the array may have more than two panels in each row and may have more than three rows of panels. The panels define connecting pin channels that, when the panels are unfolded, are co-axially aligned with connecting pin channels of adjacent panels. Connecting pins are inserted into the co-axially aligned connecting pin channels to hold panels in a specific orientation with respect to each other.
