Provided is a mobile application and system which can provide rewards to a user based on purchases of various brands, companies, and the like, in a non-intrusive manner. In one example, the method may include storing user verification credentials in a database, receiving an input value via a mobile application installed on a user device and transmitted to a host platform that hosts the mobile application, calling a verification service based on the stored user verification credentials, via an application programming interface (API), which verifies a payment account of the user can cover the input value, and in response to receiving verification from the verification service, fetching a pre-loaded token from a token service based on the input value and transmitting the pre-loaded token to the mobile application installed on the user device.

Realistic machine-generated handwriting

Номер: WO2006042307A2
Автор: Michael R. Loeb
Принадлежит: Synapse Group, Inc.

There are provided new and improved methods (200) and systems (100) for producing machine-generated handwriting having realistic human appearance. In various embodiments, the handwriting may include characteristics of particular classes (302) and/or characteristics of particular individuals (304, 402). The handwriting includes an appropriate degree of randomness (306) so as to be realistic in appearance. In a particular embodiment of the invention, at least one sample of a particular individual's handwriting is scanned (402) and analyzed (404) to determine the characteristics thereof. The handwriting characteristics include a degree of randomness (306, 308) representative of the scanned handwriting sample(s) (408). The handwriting may be printed on a conventional printer (106), for example to generate a communication for a recipient.

Methods and systems for realistically simulating human sports activities

Номер: WO2007018735A3
Автор: Michael R Loeb
Принадлежит: Michael R Loeb

There are provided methods (200) and systems (100) for simulating sports activities. Historical data is aggregated to develop realistic, simulated, fictional players and teams (206, 208). The aggregation of data is sufficient to avoid any discrete identification of a simulated player, team, league or other participant with a real-life equivalent. The historical data collected is sufficient in quantity and type that simulated sports events can be realistically performed in substantially unlimited scope and quantity. Degrees of randomness may be introduced (510) to provide excitement and unpredictability. Non-random variations to the historically based activities can be made (512) so as to alter the fundamental nature of a player, team or league. Outcomes of the simulation can be generated substantially indefinitely to provide long-term entertainment, for example full seasons and multiple seasons/years of sports activities. The simulated sports activities of the present invention can be presented to fans in lieu of live sports events (522). Mediums of presentations (600) can include, for example, live video displays, television transmissions, radio transmissions and real-time display to stadium fans.

System and method utilizing bio-algorithms for light fixture networks

Номер: US09743491B2
Автор: Alvin Kopel, Andrew Bein, Edward J. McCabe, Jason Slosberg, John F. Rovegno, Michael R. Loeb
Принадлежит: Linkbee LLC

According to some embodiments, information about at least one user associated with a light fixture network, having a plurality of light fixtures each equipped with a wireless communication device, may be received. A bio-algorithm to be applied to the light fixture network may then be determined based on the information about the at least one user. An appropriate lighting parameter (e.g., a luminescence, a wattage, a color characteristic, and/or a wavelength) for at least one of the light fixtures in the light fixture network may be dynamically calculated, and it may be arranged for the at least one light fixture to operate in accordance with the dynamically calculated lighting parameter.
