Benefits of technology

The patent text describes online document storage and retrieval techniques. It describes a system that can automatically display certain information from a billing statement based on information provided by the billing statement's provider. The system can also display data from a non-billing statement based on the information provided by the non-billing statement's provider. Additionally, the system can display advertisements based on the data from the billing statement. The technical effect of this patent text is to provide an efficient and effective way for users to access and display relevant information from billing statements, without having to manually search through the entire document.

Problems solved by technology

However, even though online document storage permits users to access the document from various locations, online document storage was inefficient.
Consequently, online document storage is tedious and inconvenient, and as a result, users may limit online document storage to key documents.

example environment

[0022]FIG. 1 is an illustration of an environment 100 in an example implementation that is operable to employ online document storage techniques. The illustrated environment 100 includes a client 102, a storage resource 104, a document provider 106, and a billing statement provider 108 communicatively coupled by a network 110. For convenience of the discussion, each of the members of the environment 100 may represent multiple entities. For example, the billing statement provider 108 may represent multiple providers of billing statements. Example billing statement providers include AT&T Inc., Amazon.com, Inc., Sprint, and so forth.

[0023]The storage resource 104 is operable to store documents 112 and data 114 included in the documents 112 for access via the network 110. For convenience in the discussion, at times data 114 included in the document 112 may also be referred to as data 114. While the foregoing convention is used, at times data may refer to other data and so on. The applic...

example procedures

[0068]The following discussion describes online data storage techniques that may be implemented utilizing the previously described systems and devices. Aspects of each of the procedures may be implemented in hardware, firmware, or software, or a combination thereof. The procedures are shown as a set of blocks that specify operations performed by one or more devices and are not necessarily limited to the orders shown for performing the operations by the respective blocks. Further, some implementations may use a subset of the illustrated operations. In portions of the following discussion, reference will be made to the environment 100 of FIG. 1 and the systems 200, 300 of FIGS. 2 and 3, respectively.

[0069]FIG. 7 depicts a procedure 700 in an example implementation in which online document storage procedures are used to organize (e.g., collect, store, and so forth) display of data and documents accessed over a network. A document is received for online storage (block 702). For example,...

Abstract

Online document storage and / or retrieval techniques are described. In an implementation, one or more computer-readable media comprising instructions that are executable to provide a web service application programming interface (API). The web service API is configured to accept a document and information specified by the document's provider. The information specifying which of a plurality of tabs in a user interface at least a portion of data included in the document is to be is to be associated with for display in which at least one of the tabs pertains to billing data and another one of the tabs does not pertain to billing data.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This is a divisional application of, and claims priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12 / 356,331, filed Jan. 20, 2009, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein.BACKGROUND[0002]Online data storage has been developed to allow user to access to data, such as documents over a network. In a typical online storage scenario, a web browser may be used to access documents that are stored on a remote server.[0003]However, even though online document storage permits users to access the document from various locations, online document storage was inefficient. Often times, the documents and related data are associated with several accounts, stored on different servers, and so on. For example, a user may have a HOTMAIL (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, Wash.) account to store electronic mail / documents as attachments, a WEB MD (WebMD LLC, New York, N.Y.) account to store medical records, and a bill pay account to store bills and bank statements. Co...
