Robb, Shelby, Mich., has been assigned a patent (8,468,060) developed by Anne E. Robb, Casselberry, Fla., Larry Fortna, Leesburg, Fla., and Ronald A. Biritz, Casselberry, Fla., for a "recursive method and system for accessing classification information." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Web based menu system and method allows users such as buyers and sellers to locate, purchase, and sell goods, items and services. Knowledge of the system increases with user interaction. The system can respond to voice activation and recognition commands. At the web site, the user selects a category followed by a selection of makes, items, or services called a Sub-Category. The system responds by displaying menus referred to as a "Fluidity of Taxonomy". This process repeats until the user reaches the finite end of the menus. Users can place requests for instant notification of new ad placements. Banner ads can be applicable to the buyers' interest. Sellers can grow the database based on menu selections. The system can retrieve any orderly classification of information." The patent application was filed on Feb. 11, 2011 (13/025,940).
