Title: Method and system for reliable protocol tunneling over HTTP
Inventor: RAO DEEPAK
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2011-04-04
Abstract: The embodiments described herein generally relate to methods and systems for tunneling arbitrary binary data between an HTTP endpoint and an arbitrary destination. Such tunneling of data is valuable in an environment, for example, in which a browser-based client communicates in the HTTP protocol and desires to exchange data with a remote endpoint understanding non-HTTP communications. A relay server is used as a "middle man" to connect the client to the destination, and components supporting the necessary protocols for data exchange are plugged into the relay server. To achieve reliable and ordered transmission of data, the relay server groups sessions through the assignment of session identifiers and tracks the exchange of messages through the assignment of sequence and acknowledgment numbers. Further, the relay server provides for authenticating the HTTP endpoint with the destination and for handling other operations not available in the constrained environment of the Web-based client.

Title: System for managing retirement income and a method thereof
Inventor: GORE ADRIAN
IPC: G06Q40/08
Filed: 2011-06-30
Abstract: A method and system for managing a retirement income fund includes recording a starting value of a retirement investment for an investor and calculating based on the starting value a guaranteed periodic income amount that the investor will receive for the rest of their life. A selection is received from the investor of at least one investment fund and of a periodic withdrawal amount. Based on the performance of the at least one investment fund, upper and lower parameters for the periodic withdrawal amount are calculated. The guaranteed periodic income amount is recalculated whereby if the selected periodic withdrawal amount is lower than the lower parameter then the guaranteed periodic income amount is increased, if the periodic withdrawal amount is higher than the upper parameter then the guaranteed periodic income amount is decreased and if the periodic withdrawal amount is between the upper and lower parameters then the guaranteed periodic income amount is left the same. The selected periodic withdrawal amount is periodically paid to the investor and the value of the retirement investment is recalculated based on the performance of the at least one investment fund and reducing the value of the retirement investment by the periodic withdrawal amount. If the value of the retirement investment has reached zero then ceasing to pay to the investor the periodic withdrawal amount but thereafter periodically paying the guaranteed periodic income amount. Finally, on the death of the investor, determining the value of the retirement investment and if this is greater than zero then paying to at least one beneficiary of the investor the value and ceasing to pay any further periodic amounts.

Title: Method for providing multi-level membership management service
Inventor: RHO KYOO SOO
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2011-02-24
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for providing a multi-level membership management service for feeding back profit by setting up a multi-level membership relationship for members subscribed online. The management server sets up a multi-level membership relationship where a user who applied for a membership subscription is registered as a member, and is also included as an inferior of a predetermined location within a pre-established tree structure. When a specific product or service launched by a specific member from the members registered in the management server is sold, the management server reorganizes the tree structure so that the specific member is put as the most superior in the tree structure, and the profit from the specific product is fed back to each of the members according to the reorganized tree structure. While the conventional multi-level membership management structure does not enable a newly subscribed person to attract inferiors, the present invention distributes the profit according to the reorganization where a specific product or service newly launched by the newly subscribed person is put at the most superior, thereby enabling lower psychological resistance towards new membership subscription, which allows multi-level member management to become more active.
