Abstract: Systems and methods determine and record legitimate interest in a consistent and quantitative manner. A contact interest engine receives from a source (e.g., sales/marketing automation), data regarding interaction with a contact. The interaction data may include a topic, a country, and consent by the contact. The CII processes the interaction data according to appropriate rules, in order to calculate a Legitimate Interest (LI) point score. The LI point score may be affected by decay over elapsed time from communication with the contact. The LI point score is recorded and then referenced in order to determine an existence of LI. Based upon the LI, appropriate actions may be output (e.g., permission to communicate with the contact; issued alerts; recommendations for follow-up activities). Reproducibility of the LI determination allows marketing/sales professionals (having limited expertise in privacy rules/regulation) to reach out with confidence to prospective contacts (e.g., customers).

Abstract: A computer controlled toy car racing game that can be played by a plurality of players. If less than a maximum number of players is present at the beginning of a race, a computer controller operates the remaining race cars such that each race includes all of the race cars. The racing game includes numerous sensors positioned above the racing course that relay control commands to each of the race cars. If a race car is computer controlled or computer assisted, the control commands are created by the computer controller. If the race car is controlled by a player, the control commands include information from a throttle and steering wheel used by the player. Upon completion of a race, the computer controller controls each of the race cars to bring the race cars back to a point on the race course near the start/finish line.
