20130331176 | SELECTING A WAGER FOR AN EVENT - Technologies are generally described for processes and systems effective to select or determine a wager for an event. A wager processor may be configured to be in communication with a wager database and an event status processor over a network. The wager processor may be effective to receive event information and crowd information. The event information may relate to a status of the event. The crowd information may relate to demographics and/or interests of the participants at the event. The wager processor may select or determine the wager based on the event information and the crowd information. | 12-12-2013 |
20130332246 | DISPLAY OF ADVERTISEMENTS AT AN EVENT - Technologies are generally described for processes and systems effective to select an advertisement to be displayed for viewing by participants at an event. An advertisement processor may be configured to be in communication with an advertisement database and an event status processor over a network. The advertisement processor may be effective receive event information and crowd information. The event information may relate to a status of the event. The crowd information may relate to demographics and/or interests of the participants at the event. The advertisement processor may select the advertisement based on the event information and the crowd information. | 12-12-2013 |
20130332485 | INFORMATION REMOVAL FROM A NETWORK - Technologies are generally described for systems, methods and devices effective to remove information from a network such as the Internet. In some examples, a device may include a memory including instructions and a processor configured in communication with the memory. The processor may be configured effective to receive user information relating to a user and search the network using the user information. In response to the search, the processor may find additional information relating to the user stored in the network. The processor may receive a first request to remove particular information from the network. The particular information may be part of the additional information and the particular information may be removable by a second user. The processor may send a second request to remove the particular information from the network. | 12-12-2013 |
20130339123 | GROUP NATURE VERIFICATION FOR PROVIDING GROUP INCENTIVES - Technologies are provided for verifying the group nature of a consumer request to provide a group incentive. In some examples, a consumer may purchase goods and services from a merchant over a network, and may request to take advantage of a group incentive associated with an established group. The merchant may verify that the consumer is a member of the established group before allowing the consumer to receive or use the group incentive. Upon receiving the request associated with the group incentive, the merchant may identify attributes of the consumer and/or the group the consumer claims to belong to. If the attributes match a commonality criterion, the incentive may be authorized. Additionally, the merchant may require a physical appearance of the consumer along with other group members in order to utilize the group incentive. | 12-19-2013 |
20130339175 | ON DEMAND INFORMATION NETWORK - In one example, a user interface may be configured to receive input from a hosting device, a transmitter may be configured to solicit competing bids to subscribing devices for a requested service based on the input from the hosting device, a queue may be configured to store bids from third-parties in response to the transmitted request for bids for the requested service, and a receiver may be configured to receive a manifestation of the requested service from one of the third-parties whose received bid was accepted. | 12-19-2013 |
20130339241 | TRANSACTIONAL PERMISSIONS - In one example a computer-readable medium storing computer-executable components that comprise, at least, a guardian component configured to receive, from an authoritative entity, conditions upon which a potential transaction for a deferring entity may be authorized; and a transactional component configured to receive, from a transacting entity, a request for authorization for an actual transaction with the deferring entity, and to transmit, to the transacting entity, a determination as to whether the request for authorization for the actual transaction is acceptable in view of the stored conditions. | 12-19-2013 |

20140032663 | AUTOMATIC CONTENT FORWARDING TO COMMUNICATION NETWORKS - Technologies are provided for identifying context associated with received content and automatically forwarding the content to an associated communication network for posting. In some examples, a user may create content for posting to one or more communication networks and send the content over a network for posting to a first communication network. Upon receipt of the content for posting, the first communication network may identify a context of the received content and may associate the context with a second communication network based on a set of content forwarding rules. The first communication network may automatically forward the received content to the associated second communication network for posting at the second communication network. Additionally, a third party entity may be configured to monitor content received at a first communication network, identify a context of the received content, and automatically forward the received content to the associated second communication network for posting. | 01-30-2014 |
20140101527 | Electronic Media Reader with a Conceptual Information Tagging and Retrieval System - By combining a media reader application with a tagging system, one creates an information tagging system that focuses the human reader on the task of assimilating knowledge into a conceptual model, thus enhancing the learning process. This disclosure combines the process of reading and consuming media with a process of associating concepts with a set of tags. These tags could represent questions or abstract concepts. When these tags are organized into conceptual model, they provide context for the learning process. This disclosure thereby makes reading and understanding a more simple and intuitive process, allowing much better data retrieval and recall, allowing far better understanding and contextualization of knowledge. | 04-10-2014 |
