  • Patent number: 11173408
    Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein include an amusement park system that includes an augmented experience system. The augmented experience system is configured to track guest interactions of a plurality of guests of an amusement park with one or more employees of the amusement park, one or more mobile devices, one or more wearable devices, one or more themed devices, or one or more physical objects disposed within a real-world environment of the amusement park. The augmented experience system is also configured to augment the real-world environment of the amusement park based at least in part on data relating to the guest interactions.

  • Patent number: 11086692
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing multiple wireless devices are disclosed. An exemplary system includes multiple domains each having a particular type of wireless device management system and respective (application programming interface) APIs. API call modules corresponding to each domain enable accessing of the APIs exposed by each of the respective domains. A management console enables compiling of a consolidated list of devices and users from each of the device management systems into a single view. An exemplary method includes querying multiple domains to obtain user information, compiling a consolidated list of users, displaying the consolidated list in a user interface, selecting a user from the consolidated list, and submitting a command to either all or a specific domain for the selected user.

  • Patent number: 11074632
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system are disclosed for compiling a virtual transaction for a person within an environment having a plurality of items. The method includes acquiring, using at least one visual sensor, first image information including a person. The method further includes identifying the at least one person from the first image information by classifying the person into a class. The method also includes acquiring second image information including the person and an item. The method further includes identifying a behavior of the person relative to the item, and updating, based on the identified behavior, the virtual transaction.

  • Publication number: 20210192616
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for controlling operational states of a hardware matching processor includes monitoring, by a circuit breaker, incoming electronic data transaction request messages to the hardware matching processor; dynamically defining a range of values as a function of values included with electronic data transaction request messages received during a rolling lookback window; detecting that an incoming electronic data transaction request message contains a value outside the range of values; transitioning the electronic data transaction processing system into a pre-open state for a predetermined period, thereby preventing the hardware matching processor from matching incoming electronic data transaction request messages; calculating a pre-open value at an end of the pre-open state; and re-opening the electronic data transaction processing system at the calculated pre-open value, thereby allowing the hardware matching processor to match incoming electronic data transaction request messages.

  • Publication number: 20210158627
    Abstract: An interactive video game system includes at least one sensor and at least one display device disposed near a play area. The system also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor and the at least one display device, wherein the controller is configured to: receive, from the at least one sensor, the scanning data of the player in the play area; generate at least one model from the scanning data of the player; identify an action of the player in the play area based on the at least one model; generate the virtual representation for the player based on the at least one model and the action of the player; and present, on the display device, the virtual representation of the player in a virtual environment, wherein an action of the virtual representation is augmented relative to the action of the player.

  • Publication number: 20210077321
    Abstract: A gown dispenser system has a plurality of gowns, each having a back region, the gowns folded and stacked back region facing up, such that, pulling on the back region of a gown on top of the stack removes that gown from the stack and exposes the back region of the next gown in the stack, an enclosure containing the stack of gowns, the enclosure having an opening exposing the back region of the gown at the top of the stack, enabling a user to grasp the exposed back region and pull the topmost gown from the enclosure, exposing the next gown in the stack. Gowns are drawn from the enclosure one-at-a-time, at need.

  • Patent number: 10951540
    Abstract: A provider network provides task capture and execution for tasks performed with respect to resources in the provider network. Task actions performed with respect to resources may be captured based on inputs to a provider network via a network-based service for the provider network in order to generate a recorded task. The recorded task may be stored for subsequent execution. In response to the detection of an execution event for the recorded task, the task actions may be performed as described in the recorded task. In some embodiments, task parameters and execution events may be defined for recorded tasks. Multiple recorded tasks may be linked together to be managed and executed as recorded task workflows. Recorded tasks may also be obtained that were recorded by other clients, or recorded for different provider networks.

  • Publication number: 20200344247
    Abstract: Examples include threat-aware copy data management. Responsive to a request to back up data, a threat level may be determined. Where the threat level is determined to be less than a threat level threshold, a data port between a first and second network domain may be opened. Conversely, the request may be denied where the threat level is determined to be at or greater than the threat level threshold.
