RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/235,829 filed August 23, 2021, U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/235,839 filed August 23, 2021, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/235,845 filed August 23, 2021.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present disclosure generally relates to a portal system and method, and more particularly to a portal and interface system and method.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] Conventional employee and employer search websites typically act as both search engines and databases for open jobs. Some conventional systems offer premium services for job seekers such as career coaching and cover letter writing services. Job sites can help candidates having varying education and experience levels find employment in various sectors. Those candidates actively searching for a job may benefit by using an employee and employer search website in order to find and apply for many relevant opportunities. Also, many recruiters actively use employee and employer search websites to find potential employee candidates for employers.

[0004] Many employee and employer search websites are free to browse. A job seeker may type in a desired job title and other search information to search for opportunities that fit the entered search criteria. Some employee and employer search websites involve upfront payments to unlock full browsing and application privileges. Some employee and employer search websites allow employers to reach out to qualified candidates, whether or not the candidates have applied for an open position with the employer.

[0005] The conventional employee and employer search websites discussed above have various deficiencies. Conventional designs do not provide for an ability to understand a wide breadth of a potential hire or an ability for a user to understand a work environment or interworking of a company before accepting a position. Accordingly, a need in the art exists for providing these abilities and attributes.

[0006] The exemplary disclosed system and method are directed to overcoming one or more of the shortcomings set forth above and/or other deficiencies in existing technology.

[0022] Fig. 1 illustrates an exemplary system 300 that may be a portal and interface system. The exemplary disclosed system and method may be a job search and resume web portal system and method. For example, the exemplary disclosed system and method may be an online-based portal and interface for job search and employer search services.

[0023] As illustrated in Fig. 1, system 300 may include one or more user devices 305, an update module such as a module 315, and a network 330. Data may be transferred between user devices 305 and module 315 via network 330.

[0024] As illustrated in Fig. 1, system 300 may include any desired number of user devices 305. User device 305 may be any suitable device for interfacing with other components of system 300 such as a computing device (e.g., user interface). For example, user device 305 may be any suitable user interface for receiving input and/or providing output (e.g., image data) to a user (e.g., user 320, 320a, or 320b). For example, each user device 305 may be associated with a given user 320 (e.g., one or more users 320, 320a, or 320b). User device 305 may be, for example, a touchscreen device (e.g., of a smartphone, a tablet, a computer, a smartboard, a virtual reality device, and/or any suitable computer device), a wearable device, a computer keyboard and monitor (e.g., desktop or laptop), an audio-based device for entering input and/or receiving output via sound, a tactilebased device for entering input and receiving output based on touch or feel, a dedicated user interface designed to work specifically with other components of system 300, and/or any other suitable user interface (e.g., including components and/or configured to work with components described below regarding Figs. 9 and 10). For example, user device 305 may include a touchscreen device of a smartphone or handheld tablet. For example, user device 305 may include a display (e.g., a computing device display, a touchscreen display, and/or any other suitable type of display) that may provide output, image data, and/or any other desired output or input prompt to a user. For example, the exemplary display may include a graphical user interface to facilitate entry of input by a user and/or receiving output such as image data. An application for example as described herein and/or a web browser may be installed on user device 305 and utilized by a user (e.g., user 320, 320a, and/or 320b). User device 305 may include storage for example as described regarding Fig. 9. For example, user device 305 may have storage for storing programming instructions for example as described below. User device 305 may include a GPS device, a Galileo device, a GLONASS device, an IRNSS device, a BeiDou device, and/or any other suitable device that may operate with a global navigation system.

[0025] Network 330 may be any suitable communication network over which data may be transferred between one or more user devices 305 and module 315. Network 330 may be the internet, a LAN (e.g., via Ethernet LAN), a WAN, a WiFi network, or any other suitable network. Network 330 may be similar to WAN 201 described below. The components of system 300 may also be directly connected (e.g., by wire, cable, USB connection, and/or any other suitable electromechanical connection) to each other and/or connected via network 330. For example, components of system 300 may wirelessly transmit data by any suitable technique such as, e.g., wirelessly transmitting data via 4G LTE networks (e.g., or 5G networks) or any other suitable data transmission technique for example via network communication. Components of system 300 may transfer data via the exemplary techniques described below regarding Fig. 10. User devices 305 and module 315 may include and/or may be associated with any suitable communication components for communicating with other components of system 300 using for example the communication techniques described above.

[0026] In at least some exemplary embodiments, the exemplary disclosed components of system 300 may communicate via any suitable long distance and/or short distance communication technique (e.g., via WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, NFC, IrDA, and/or any other suitable short distance technique). For example, components of system 300 may communicate via long and/or short distance wireless communication.

[0027] System 300 may include one or modules 315 for performing the exemplary disclosed operations. Module 315 may be an update module. The one or more modules may be stored and operated by any suitable components of system 300 (e.g., including processor components) such as, for example, network 330, user device 305, and/or any other suitable component of system 300 (e.g., or component external to system 300). For example, system 300 may include one or more modules having computer-executable code stored in non-volatile memory. System 300 may also include one or more storages (e.g., buffer storages) that may include components similar to the exemplary disclosed computing device and network components described below regarding Figs. 9 and 10. For example, the exemplary disclosed buffer storage may include components similar to the exemplary storage medium and RAM described below regarding Fig. 9. The exemplary disclosed buffer storage may be implemented in software and/or a fixed memory location in hardware of system 300. The exemplary disclosed buffer storage (e.g., a data buffer) may store data temporarily during an operation of system 300.

[0028] Figs. 2A and 2B illustrate exemplary embodiments of graphical user interfaces (GUI) including graphical elements that may be displayed to a user (e.g., user 320, 320a, or 320b) via user device 305. Fig. 2A illustrates a GUI 405 that may be displayed to first user 320a of system 300 such as an owner that may be associated with data of GUI 405. GUI 405 may display information describing the owner (e.g., user 320a) for example as described below. GUI 410 may also display information associated with user 320a that may be an owner, and may display the information associated with the owner to another user (e.g., a second user 320b that is another user, other than the owner of the information). For example, first user 320a may view that user’s own information via GUI 405 displayed via user device 305 of first user 320a, and second user 320b who may be another user other than the data owner (e.g., other than first user 320a) may view the information of first user 320a via GUI 410 via user device 305 of second user 320b. Any user of system 300 may be an owner and a user other than the owner depending on the information displayed (e.g., if the displayed information is owned by a given user, that viewing user may be the owner viewing GUI 405; if the displayed information is owned by another user, then the viewing user may be another user viewing GUI 410). GUI 405 and/or GUI 410 may include generally similar elements for example as described herein that may be displayed in different ways depending on whether the viewing user owns the data (e.g., GUI 405) or does not own the data (e.g., GUI 410). For example, some data may be displayed or not displayed (e.g., and/or displayed differently) depending on whether the viewer is an owner or not an owner. Users such as user 320, 320a, and 320b may be individuals, companies, organizations, and/or any other desired entity.

[0029] As illustrated for example in Figs. 2A and 2B, the exemplary disclosed GUI (e.g., GUI 405 and/or GUI 410) may include a plurality of graphical elements including elements 415, 420, 425, 430, and 435, and a plurality of blocks 440. Elements 415, 420, 425, 430, and 435 and blocks 440 may include any desired information regarding a user (e.g., a first user 420a) such as text, images, hyperlinks, and/or any other desired graphical elements for example as described herein.

[0030] For example, element 415 may include a personalized graphic or image and elements for controlling a function of the GUI such as buttons and pull-downs. Element 420 may include an image of a user (e.g., first user 320a such as an individual image and/or an entity image such as a company logo or location) and element 425 may be a name of the user (e.g., first user 320a).

[0031] Also for example, element 430 may include any desired information of a user such as user location, number of user connections on system 300 (e.g., other users of system 300), number of subscribing users (e.g., other users of system 300), where the user was born (e.g., is from or was incorporated), nations in which the user is authorized to work and/or registered or licensed, location the user was raised or grew up, languages spoken by the user, distance and/or commute time the user is willing to travel for work, transportation used by user (e.g., driving or train), whether the user is available for remote or in-person activities, and/or any other desired attributes. Element 430 may also display a written description of the user (e.g., bio or summary provided by the user). Element 435 may provide for adding information (e.g., elements and/or blocks 440).

[0032] Block 440 may provide a subset of information (e.g., data) regarding a user (e.g., first user 320a). Block 440 may include a block of bundled information. Block 440 may include any desired media, comments, and feedback (e.g., from other users). For example, block 440 may be a topic, department, company block, activity block, hobby block, and/or any other desired subset of information. For example, block 440 may be a block of information involving a current job of the user, a previous job of the user, an ability of the user, a hobby or interest of the user, a school attended by the user, a volunteer activity by the user, a favorite place to visit of the user, a favorite sports team (e.g., or festival) visited by the user, and/or any other desired topic. For example, block 440 may include information describing a job, a hobby, an activity, an accomplishment, an internship, education, a job, a certificate, a license, a professional affiliation, veteran status or military awards, a recommendation, volunteer work, a cause favored by the user, any desired affiliation (e.g., professional, charitable, or political), a donation, an endorsement, and/or any other desired topic. Block 440 may include any desired resume information and/or skills.

[0033] Block 440 may include any desired media such as information or data (e.g., referenced herein as media) such as photos, video, audio, infographics, pdf memes, product reviews, usergenerated content, lists, live video, how-to guides, live chats, link pages, case studies, Q&A, case studies, user posts, newsletters, interviews, embedded tweets, research and data, gifs, eBooks, digital events, illustrations, spreadsheets or docs, podcasts, slideshow or slide shares, online games, news, timelines, interactive products, online tools, webinars, blog posts, personal opinions, digital magazines, maps, stories, quizzes, screenshots, mind maps, quotes, inspirational messages, polls, and/or any other desired information.

[0034] Figs. 2A, 2B, and 3 illustrate exemplary embodiments of blocks 440. Block 440 may for example include a block element 440a, a block element 440b, and a block element 440c, which may include any suitable information for example as described herein. In at least some exemplary embodiments, block element 440a may include text, table, chart, and/or other descriptive information that may describe block 440. Block element 440b may include image, gif, video, audio, and/or any other desired data. Block element 440b may also include an element 445 that may include comments of users (e.g., scrollable comments) that may be displayed over (e.g., popup over) an element 450 (e.g., a portion of block 440) that may display exemplary disclosed data such as images and videos. Block 440 may also include element 455 that may be a pop-up including any desired information or buttons such as categories and links to other content of the exemplary disclosed GUI and system. Blocks 440 and/or the exemplary disclosed GUI may include any desired scroll bars for dynamically viewing displayed content.

[0035] Block element 440c may include advertising information and/or any other desired information to be displayed to a user. For example, block element 440c may include advertising content that may include any desired information for example as described herein and may be displayed based on paid advertisers utilizing system 300. System 300 may operate to display advertising information based on content displayed in that given block 440. For example, if a block 440 involves weightlifting, system 300 may operate to display advertisements related to weightlifting such as weightlifting equipment and gym memberships. System 300 may utilize the exemplary disclosed artificial intelligence operations, algorithms, and/or any other suitable techniques in displaying data to users in block element 440c based on information of block 440 of that block element 440c. Advertising may also be displayed in block 440c that may be unrelated to the content of block 440 of that block element 440c.

[0036] The exemplary disclosed GUIs and blocks may be displayed having any desired arrangement or configuration. For example, the information of block elements 440a, 440b, and 440c may be displayed in any desired relative location or position (e.g., any of the block elements may be disposed above, below, or to the side of other block elements). The exemplary disclosed elements of the exemplary disclosed GUIs illustrated in Figs. 2A and 2B may be similarly disposed in any desired arrangement or configuration relative to each other.

[0037] The exemplary disclosed blocks may be populated by user input by a given owning user (e.g., user 320a) and/or any users of system 300. For example, information provided by a given user regarding a given topic may be displayed to other users viewing that topic (e.g., regarding a given company). For example, a review of a company posted by first user 320a in a given block 440 may be displayed to second user 320b in block 440 regarding that same company. Information may thereby be shared between users of system 300 and used in populating blocks 440 of GUIs for some or all users.

[0038] Fig. 4 illustrates another exemplary embodiment of the exemplary disclosed block. For example, video and/or image data may be displayed with any desired arrangement of advertisements in any desired order.

[0039] Fig. 5 illustrates an exemplary dynamic action of a user’s given block 440 within the GUI 405 and/or GUI 410 for displaying/ viewing a posting 460. For example, media within block 440 may include an element that may be displayed respectively on a separate posting 460. By adding elements within block 440, a same element may be displayed/viewable on a separate posting 460. The posting 460 may be for a job, a classified advertisement (e.g., seeking a roommate, selling an item, or any other desired posting), an offer (e.g., an item for sale, a desired item, a desired service, or any other desired offer), and/or any other activity or action of interest. The media within a block of GUI 405 may be displayed/viewable on posting 460 (e.g., a separate display page). The media displayed/viewable in element 460b may be a sum of all media posted and related to a company department, personal subject, hobby, etc.. The media displayed in element 460c may be a sum of all media posted to the related company or person. Elements 460a, 460b, and/or 460c may include scrolls and/or any other suitable elements for dynamically viewing the content of expanded posting 460. Element 460a may include a post description including text, tables, images, and/or other desired information describing the posting. For example, element 460a may include job posting information and/or any other desired information associated with the exemplary disclosed postings described above. Element 460b may display media of block 440. One or more elements of the posting may include information of a poster (e.g., posting user) of the exemplary disclosed post (e.g., a company posting a job). The element 445 (e.g., including comments) within block 440 may also be displayed beside or on top of block element 440b displayed in element 460b or element 460c.

[0040] Figs. 6A and 6B (e.g., and 7A and 7B) schematically illustrate exemplary postings of a new block by a user (e.g., user 320a) such as an owner of information. In at least some exemplary embodiments, a block may be added, and the block may be disposed (e.g., go) anywhere. The block location may be dependent of when (e.g., a time) the block content (e.g., media) is added. The block may be in any desired location of the GUI when it is blank, includes a small or any amount of data, or when content such as text is edited. The block may move to an update position (e.g., the top) based on when media of that block (e.g., said topic) is added. For example, the block including the most recent (e.g., most recently added) media may move to an update position (e.g., the top) of the GUI. Figs. 6A, 6B, 7A, and 7B illustrate exemplary embodiments of the exemplary disclosed system and method. Figs. 6A and 7A schematically illustrate an exemplary disclosed GUI prior to posting of a newly posted block 470, and Figs. 6B and 7B schematically illustrate the exemplary disclosed GUI after posting of newly posted block 470. The user may post the block using any suitable input entry template or element that may be for example a blank block 440 that may be filled in by the user using the GUI (e.g., based on activating element 435) or an existing block 440 that may be edited using the GUI. After entering or editing information for newly posted block 470 that may be a new block or a newly edited block, and then posting block 470, block 470 may move to an “update position” such as a newly edited position (e.g., a top of the GUI or any other desired position). For example, newly posted block 470 may move to the top of the GUI. As illustrated in Figs. 7A and 7B, a section 475 of information of which block 470 may be a part of may also move to the top of the GUI. For example, newly posted data blocks may move to the top of the GUI, as well as larger sections of data of which the newly posted block may be a part. For example, newly posted block 470 that may be a school may move to the top of section 475 that may be education, and the entire section 475 may move to the top of the GUI (e.g., so that newly posted block 470 may move to the top of section 475, and section 475 may move to the top of the GUI). Alternatively for example, a given section 475 may remain stationary on the GUI, with newly posted block 470 moving to a top of that section. Also for example as illustrated in Figs. 6A and 6B, newly posted block 470 may move to the top of a GUI including a plurality of blocks 440. Based on successive exemplary disclosed sorting, relatively newer block postings may be sorted toward an update position such as a new location (e.g., top) of the GUI, while older block postings may move toward an old location (e.g., bottom) of the GUI (e.g., move away from the update position). In at least some exemplary embodiments, the exemplary disclosed GUI may include a plurality of blocks 440 that may be sorted from newest to oldest by date of posting (e.g., new posting and/or new editing). In at least some exemplary embodiments, block 440 may move when media is added to the block.

[0041] In at least some exemplary embodiments, users (e.g., individuals and/or companies) may view their own data (e.g., via GUI 405) to discern blocks (e.g., topics such as activities, hobbies, jobs, education, and/or other exemplary disclosed blocks) that they have recently engaged in (e.g., or not engaged in). For example based on viewing the exemplary disclosed GUI, users may discern or identify topics (e.g., described by blocks 440) in which they have not engaged for a relatively long time. For example, user may determine that they have not engaged in (e.g., neglected) a given topic for a relatively long time and that it may be suitable to again engage in that topic (e.g., block 440).

[0042] In at least some exemplary embodiments, the exemplary disclosed system and method may provide a platform for users to post their resumes and connect with employers. The exemplary disclosed system and method may include a professional and sophisticated live social network having tools for showing a person’s true work value, beyond resume information. For example, system 300 may provide functionality for organizing work history (e.g., showing what people have done and where they are capable of doing). System 300 may display a potential employee’s resume in a chronological and/or interactive format. In at least some exemplary embodiments, a user (e.g., an employee) may build a resume with an intention of not deleting any part of it. The user (e.g., user 320a) may display accomplishments, and system 300 may operate to verify diplomas, certificates, licenses, and any other desired information. System 300 may allow users to grow their network (e.g., via J-tagging or J#). System 300 may provide a secure and verified network. System 300 may provide users such as employers with in-depth information, including for example a “real story” of who a potential employee “really” is and that employee’s true and verifiable capabilities. Also for example, system 300 may provide users such as potential employees with a “real story” of what a potential employer “really” is and the employer’s true and verifiable work environment and/or contributions to the world.

[0043] In at least some exemplary embodiments, the exemplary disclosed system and method may help employers understand a personality, goals, likes, and/or dislikes of a potential employee. The exemplary disclosed system and method may provide potential employees with a sense of what actually working at a company may be like, beyond self-reporting of the company such as content of public relations statements. For example, information regarding a “real” personality of a company including office environment and company culture may be provided to users from actual employees (e.g., also users 320 of system 300) about the real inner affairs of the company, work environment, culture, activities, and/or any other suitable information. Such information may accurately display actual employee life, work, hobbies, activities, accomplishments, education, internships, education, jobs (e.g., previous jobs), certificates, recommendations, volunteerism, causes, affiliations, donations, endorsements, personality, likes, dislikes, and/or any other desired information such as for example as described herein.

[0044] In at least some exemplary embodiments, the exemplary disclosed system and method may operate to maintain (e.g., never delete and/or encourage users not to delete) some or all parts of a user’s resume and other information. User information may thereby provide a continuous showcase (e.g., a continuum) of a person’s life (e.g., even as far back as a first job, hobby, activity, accomplishment, education, internship, education, certificate, recommendation, volunteerism, cause, affiliation, donation, endorsement, personality, likes, dislikes, and/or any other desired information). Using such information, users such as employers may discern a “real” potential employee, discern what makes a potential employee tick, and/or what motivates the employee. An employee may become a virtual ambassador for a company or companies at which they work or worked, as the user may be able to provide (e.g., post to system 300) various media, pictures, text, and other information showing what it is like to work at the company.

[0045] In at least some exemplary embodiments, the exemplary disclosed system and method may operate to allow some or all users to be an employer for themselves or a company for which they work. For example, if a user is searching for a babysitter, system 300 may identify users that babysit (e.g., based on search terms or other suitable criteria). Also for example, users such as employees may search to find other users such as employees that would mow a lawn or perform landscaping (e.g., or find a vice president for their corporate office).

[0046] In at least some exemplary embodiments, a user who works for a company may utilize system 300 to search, vet, and/or hire someone for a company not owned by the user, with system 300 allowing a user to pay another user (e.g., who may act as an employee or contractor) through the use of a token. For example, a digital token (e.g., a code) may be associated with (e.g., tied to) a company payment method, which may securely allow a user who works for that company to pay an employee or contractor for services provided to said company without the paying user knowing the company’s banking information. System 300 may allow users to pay for hires directly via a company payment method (e.g., or a user payment method) and/or allow users to conduct payroll for employees and/or contractors that they oversee while making payments via the company payment method.

[0047] In at least some exemplary embodiments, based on employees providing the exemplary disclosed information to system 300 (e.g., on a website or platform), a skill or activity (e.g., a hobby) that an employee shares on the platform may be turned into a job offer by another user. For example, a user may message another user regarding a skill or activity (e.g., “I love your paintings, and I saw them on the website. Can you paint something for me?” or “You inspired me to work out, and I see you live in my town. Can I pay you for personal training at the local gym?”).

[0048] In at least some exemplary embodiments, posts that employees share about work may become publicity (e.g., overnight marketing) for a company. Users who work for a company may be proud of their company and may want to share their experiences regarding the company. For example, users may spend significant time at work, and may wish to share their contributions.

[0049] In at least some exemplary embodiments, a user who may be looking for a new job may come across a job post where the user can see photos and videos of a particular department, the company atmosphere, the company energy, the company team, and/or the work. From seeing this more in-depth information using system 300, users such as potential employees may desire to work at that company (e.g., see themselves working there).

[0050] Although employers may indicate that company benefits are what attracts employees to the company, employees may not find out what the “real” benefits are for a couple weeks into a job. In at least some exemplary embodiments, system 300 may provide such information.

System 300 may also provide pay or pay -range data for potential employees to view based on current employee information. System 300 may operate to illustrate (e.g., not allow and/or encourage users not to hide) a work environment, worker morale, benefits, pay, and/or other features. Such information may become transparent for both prospective employees and prospective employers utilizing system 300.

[0051] In at least some exemplary embodiments, newly provided information (e.g., recent and/or the most recent media that is posted) to system 300 by a given user 320a may cause information (e.g., resume content for a given company, department, topic, or title area) to which the newly provided information may be tied to move to an update position such as a top of a page, a beginning of a page, a more readily accessible portion on a page, and/or to any other desired portion of the exemplary disclosed GUI for newly posted information. [0052] In at least some exemplary embodiments, system 300 may include resume text block areas (e.g., blocks 440) that may move depending on when (e.g., date and/or time) a post (text, image, media, digital, and/or any other desired information) is posted. Information (e.g., of block 440) may be associated with (e.g., tied to) a block (e.g., block 440) and/or section 475. For example, information may be associated with or tied to a given company, department, topic or title of the exemplary disclosed GUI (e.g., of a resume or profile page of a user). The information may be associated or tied with other information based on user input, algorithm, artificial intelligence operations, and/or any other suitable operation of system 300.

[0053] In at least some exemplary embodiments, the exemplary disclosed GUI (e.g., including information of a user) may be dynamic and the content (e.g., text) of various topic areas may move based on when the media it is tied to is posted (e.g., newly posted information and blocks and/or sections with which it is associated may move). Such movement may maintain areas in which a user is actively engaged (e.g., related to a company, user’s self, department, hobby, and/or various topic areas) at a top of a GUI (e.g., page) and/or first to be viewed upon a user returning to system 300. As information (e.g., posts) including media uploads become older, such information (e.g., related to a company, user’s self, department, hobby, and/or various topic areas) may fall lower and/or be less readily accessible on a GUI (e.g., webpage). As an illustrative example, if a user lifeguarded when that user was younger and posted a picture tied to that resume area block (e.g., block 440 including for example: Company: City of Los Angeles, Department: Waterfront, Title: lifeguard), and it has been 10 years since the user posted pictures of this job, then this block may be disposed toward the bottom of the exemplary disclosed GUI (e.g., website or application) if newer information was made thereafter. If the user posts a picture (e.g., media) today of a reunion party that was tied to this block (e.g., Company: City of Los Angeles, Department: Waterfront, Title: lifeguard), then this block (Company: City of Los Angeles, Department: Waterfront, Title: lifeguard) and/or section of which this block is a part would move up to a top or most accessible area of the exemplary disclosed GUI until more recent posts are subsequently made.

[0054] In at least some exemplary embodiments, system 300 may provide for resume arrangement of blocks of bundled information. Information (e.g., media) within a given block 440 may be tied by the user (e.g., and/or system 300) to that block. The feedback in that block provided by other users of system 300 may be included in data tied to the media of user posts, which may also be tied to that block. An advertisement area within that block may include ads or content relating to that block.

[0055] In at least some exemplary embodiments, blocks, groups of blocks, and/or sections of related information (e.g., related to a given block) may move dynamically within the exemplary disclosed GUI when information (e.g., media) is added and/or updated to that given block. The given block may be arranged so that a topic (e.g., block, group of blocks, and/or section) including media added most recently may move to an update position (e.g., a top of a page or able to be viewed first). If a block did not have any recent media added within the block, the block may drop down on a list and/or be viewed later. Users may manually rearrange or filter blocks after newly posted information moves to the top, if desired, as part of the exemplary disclosed system and method.

[0056] In at least some exemplary embodiments, system 300 may provide for some or all posts (e.g., information and/or media) that may be tied to another user’s block (e.g., a company) to be displayed on a posting user’s page and on the department (e.g., company) job post pages. Also for example, origination of information and/or media may be from a user’s online resume. A user (e.g., a viewer such as user 320b) may have an ability to save advertisements and/or links shown to the user (e.g., while a video is playing) to view later. For example, these may be topics and/or products that the user may be interested in, but the user does not want to interrupt the video the user is watching.

[0057] In at least some exemplary embodiments, when a user desires to monetize content (e.g., a video), the user may indicate specific metadata at specific time slots of the video where relevant ads may populate outside of or on top of the viewing window in the exemplary disclosed GUI. For example, a personal trainer may be discussing weight belts at Imin 53sec of a video and weight belt ads may be displayed at that time or at a time thereafter. The metadata assigned at the time noted may be “weight belts” or any other desired metadata. The user may also be more specific and may indicate a specific brand of weight belt inside the metadata field for that specific time.

[0058] In at least some exemplary embodiments, some or all information (e.g., posted information and/or media) may be tied to a given block (e.g., block 440) of the exemplary disclosed GUI. System 300 may include video advertising (e.g., inserting advertisements within and/or near a video for monetization), in which advertisements may be stored and/or displayed in a separate area of the exemplary disclosed GUI than the video itself. For example, a user 320a may be a gym personal trainer who posts videos of workouts and who would like to monetize the videos, but would not like to have videos displayed on their profile to be interrupted with a commercial (e.g., and/or distract from the professional appearance of their information). A viewing user 320b may see advertisements displayed outside the video perimeter and/or stored in an advertisements area to review later.

[0059] As an illustrative example, a user (e.g., user 320a) may post a video within the user’s resume. The posted video may include metadata. Other users (e.g., companies) may provide payment to system 300 for their company ads to be strategically displayed at a desired time when a viewing user (e.g., user 320b) is watching a video (e.g., utilizing pay-per-click and/or pay-per- impression), for example based on metadata being provided at a specific point within the video that may be relevant to the advertising content. Advertisements may be placed at various time intervals during playing of the video. Users (e.g., user 320a) may be paid based on a number of times their videos are viewed and/or ads are displayed. The viewing user (e.g., user 320b) may be interested in the content of the video shown (e.g., content of user 320a) and may be interested in content of advertisement displayed outside and/or on top of a video viewing area and/or stored in an area of the exemplary disclosed GUI that may be accessed later.

[0060] In at least some exemplary embodiments, the exemplary disclosed system and method may include an employer/employee website platform, including server software configured to provide website interface enabling storing of potential employees’ continuous work history.

For example, various video advertising systems may include server software configured to provide website interface enabling viewing of videos to a user and server software configured to determine advertising information to be displayed to the user. The system may also include server software configured to determine the placement location of advertising within the website interface and server software configured to cause display of the advertising information in a location.

[0062] In at least some exemplary embodiments, the exemplary disclosed system and method may include a system and method for payment via digital token, including an ability of a user to conduct payments (e.g., company payroll) via a digital token/code to securely pay employers/contractors who work for the company. For example, the system may include an employer/employee website platform including server software configured to provide a website interface providing for storage of potential employee work history, and server software configured to provide the ability of a user to conduct company payroll via at least one of a digital token or code to securely pay at least one of an employee or a contractor who may work for the company.
