Patent number: 12008588Abstract: A data integration hub system includes a centralized database storing data according to a dimensional modeling schema. The data integration hub system accepts an external dataset from an external data source that stores data according to a database schema that differs from the dimensional modeling schema of the central database. The data integration hub translates the external data set into a first importable format compatible with the dimensional modeling scheme of the centralized database, and imports the translated external dataset into the centralized database. The data integration hub also accepts online platform data from an online platform and imports the online platform data into the centralized database. In some cases, the data integration hub translated the online platform data prior to importation. The data integration hub generates client valuation profiles based on the data imported from the external data source and the online platform.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2021Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: Poarch Band of Creek IndiansInventors: Candy Kirby Fralick, James Dorris, Ronald Nesbitt, John Enriquez

Publication number: 20230125352Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods are provided for managing user account data and award redemptions. In one embodiment, a system is provided that includes a web server configured to operate an online platform that enables a user to activate an award enhancement option for an award. The system also includes a data integration server communicatively coupled to the server. The data integration server may be configured to receive, from the web server, first identity data representing an identity of the user and activation data identifying the award enhancement option activated by the user, and store, in a memory device, the activation data with account data of the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2022Publication date: April 27, 2023Applicant: POARCH BAND OF CREEK INDIANS, d/b/a PCI GAMING AUTHORITYInventors: James F.

Publication number: 20230080406Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for cutscene management. The method is implemented with at least one processor and includes receiving, from a game server, game state data representing a state of an electronically displayed game, the game being hosted by a plurality of gameplay client devices that are configured to transmit the game state data to the game server. The method also includes determining an event associated with the game based on the game state data, determining at least one cutscene based on the event, the at least one cutscene including a visual representation of the event, and inserting the at least one cutscene into a cutscene queue, the cutscene queue including at least one cutscene associated with the game and a sequence for displaying the at least one cutscene from the cutscene queue.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Applicant: POARCH BAND OF CREEK INDIANS, d/b/a PCI GAMING AUTHORITYInventors: Peter A.

Publication number: 20230048477Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods are provided for tracking user activity and managing quests. By way of example, a method may include receiving, from a website server, first identity data representing an identity of a user and data identifying a quest activated by the user, the quest comprising one or more activities to be performed at a physical location, and receiving, from at least one reporting device, second identity data representing the identity of the user at the physical location, and activity tracking data in response to the user performing an activity associated with the quest at the physical location. The method may also include identifying the user and the quest activated by the user based on the first identity data and data identifying the quest, further identifying the user and activity data related to the quest based on the second identity data and activity tracking data, and monitoring a progress of the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2022Publication date: February 16, 2023Applicant: POARCH BAND OF CREEK INDIANS, d/b/a PCI GAMING AUTHORITYInventors: James F.
