System and method for user contributed website scripts
First Claim
1. A system for user contributed website scripts comprising:
- at least one computing processor; and
at least one memory coupled to the at least one computing processor, the at least one memory having stored therein instructions which when executed by any set of the at least one computing processors, perform a process for user contributed website scripts comprising;
receiving user data identifying a user;
determining a list of one or more websites for which a new user contributed website script is desired bydetermining one or more accounts of the user, resulting in user accounts;
determining one or more billers having websites for which a less than satisfactory number of user contributed website scripts are accessible to the process for user contributed website scripts, resulting in prospective websites; and
determining one or more prospective websites associated with one or more of the user accounts and preparing a determined list of the prospective websites associated with one or more of the user accounts;
receiving user input selecting, from the determined list, a website of the one or more websites for which a new user contributed website script is desired;
receiving, from the user, data of a user contributed website script of the selected website, resulting in the user becoming a contributing user, the data of the user contributed website script including one or more user contributed website script operations designed to be performed on the selected website to gather data of the user;
determining whether the user contributed website script performs successfully;
upon the user contributed website script being determined to have performed successfully, storing the user contributed website script and activating the user contributed website script for use on behalf of at least one user; and
upon the user contributed website script being determined to have performed unsuccessfully, storing the user contributed website script and providing feedback to the contributing user.

Abstract
A system and method for managing website scripts includes operations which provide for user contributed website scripts for use by consumer users and computing systems providing services on their behalf. User contributed website scripts are used to periodically gather user data. Following receipt of a user contributed website script, validation operations are performed in order to ensure that the user contributed website script operates properly. Once an initial determination is made that the website script operates properly, award points are awarded to the contributing user, and contribution points are assigned. If performance of the user contributed website script fails after initial acceptance, the number of contribution points associated with the user contributed website script is reduced. If the number of contribution points associated with a user contributed website script falls below a predetermined threshold, the user contributed website script is rendered unavailable for use.

19. A system for user contributed website scripts comprising:
-
a first computing system under the control of a user; a second computing system operatively coupled to the first computing system and configured to manage the collection and evaluation of website scripts from a community of users; at least one computing processor; and at least one memory coupled to the at least one computing processor, the at least one memory having stored therein instructions which when executed by any set of the at least one computing processors, perform a process for user contributed website scripts comprising; receiving, at the second computing system from the first computing system, user data identifying a user; determining, at the second computing system, a list of one or more websites for which a new user contributed website script is desired by determining one or more accounts of the user, resulting in user accounts; determining one or more billers having websites for which a less than satisfactory number of user contributed website scripts are accessible to the process for user contributed website scripts, resulting in prospective websites; and determining one or more prospective websites associated with one or more of the user accounts and preparing a determined list of the prospective websites associated with one or more of the user accounts; receiving, at the second computing system from the first computing system, user input selecting, from the determined list, a website of the one or more websites for which a user website script contribution is desired; receiving, at the second computing system from the first computing system, data of website script of the selected website, resulting in a contributed website script contributed by a contributing user, the data of the user contributed website script including one or more website script operations designed to be performed on the selected website to gather data of the user; determining, at the second computing system, whether the user contributed website script performs successfully; upon the user contributed website script being determined to have performed successfully, storing, by the second computing system, the user contributed website script and activating, by the second computing system, the user contributed website script for use on behalf of at least one user; and upon the user contributed website script being determined to have performed unsuccessfully, storing, by the second computing system, the user contributed website script and providing feedback, by the second computing system, to the contributing user. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
