Abstract: A digital wallet serves as a virtual wallet for all of the credit cards of a user. The digital wallet can be extended to other types of spending cards. Spending limits can be set for individual cards, as well as global limits. The user may setup an eCard on behalf of a recipient, where the eCard has a spending limit and the master account can view eCard transactions. Digital receipt management is provided to aid a user to organize receipts. Techniques to use a temporary code to improve the security of verifying a user is also disclosed.

Abstract: Collapsible structures are provided having at least four panels, including a bottom panel, a first panel, a second panel and a third panel. Each panel has a foldable frame member having a folded and an unfolded orientation, with a fabric material covering portions of the frame member to form the panel when the frame member is in the unfolded orientation. The fabric assumes the unfolded orientation of the frame member. Each panel further includes a first side and a second side, with the first side of one panel coupled to the second side of an adjacent panel, and with the bottom panel resting on the surface.

Abstract: A blanket or mat assembly includes a panel having a foldable frame member that has a folded and an unfolded orientation, and a sheet material substantially covering the frame member when the frame member is in the unfolded orientation, with the sheet material assuming the unfolded orientation of its associated frame member. The assembly further includes a covering having a top portion, a peripheral edge, an opening defined by the peripheral edge, and an interior, with the panel retained inside the interior and accessing the interior of the covering via the opening. The covering assumes the configuration of the panel when the panel is retained inside the interior of the covering. The covering and the panel can be twisted and folded to the folded orientation of the frame member to reduce the overall size of the covering and the panel.

Abstract: Collapsible structures are provided that have a single panel having a foldable frame member having a folded and an unfolded orientation, with a fabric material covering selected portions of the frame member to form the panel when the frame member is in the unfolded orientation, the fabric assuming the unfolded orientation of the frame member. The single panel can further include an amusement feature provided thereon, or can be used as a cover for an object, a pool, pond, box, case or shelter, or can be used as a base with an opening provided in the fabric through which an object can be inserted. The single panels can even be combined to form structures having different configurations and utility.

Abstract: Collapsible structures are disclosed having a central panel, a first support panel disengageably connected to the left side of the central panel, and a second support panel disengageably connected to the right side of the central panel. Each of the central panel and support panels includes a foldable frame member having a folded and an unfolded orientation, and a fabric material substantially covering the frame member.

Abstract: An object is assembled by interconnecting a plurality of puzzle pieces. The object includes first and second puzzle pieces, each having a joint positioned along a first outer side edge and having a substantially U-shaped mortise comprising a bottom edge, and first and second inner side edges extending from the bottom edge. The bodies of the first and second puzzle pieces are transverse to each other when the joint of the first puzzle piece is interconnected with the joint of the second puzzle piece.

Abstract: A collapsible structure has a base panel having separate first and second sides, and first and second wall panels, each having a bottom side connected to one of the sides of the base panel. Each panel further includes a foldable frame member having a folded and an unfolded orientation, and a fabric material substantially covering the frame member to form the panel when the frame member is in the unfolded orientation. The fabric assumes the unfolded orientation of its associated frame member. The first and second sides of the base panel rest on a surface when the structure is in its deployed configuration.
