Abstract: Herein disclosed are systems and methods for distributing fractional equity rewards to users of a loyalty platform based on tracked user loyalty purchases. The disclosed systems and methods may reduce time between a user loyalty purchase and distribution of a fractional equity reward determined based on the user loyalty purchase. In one example, by maintaining a pre-purchased supply of shares within an inventory account of the loyalty platform, and by distributing fractional equity rewards to user accounts on the loyalty platform from the pre-purchased supply, a reduction in reward distribution time may be enabled. Further, by maintaining the pre-purchased supply of shares of stock within the inventory based on a running average rate of fractional equity reward distribution, and predicted events, the amount of stock in the inventory may be intelligently controlled to reduce excess inventory, while reducing a probability of reward distribution delay.

Abstract: A controller for an electronic system includes a controller body having a handle portion, a tracking arc that is fixed to the controller body, and a hand retainer configured to physically bias a user's palm against an outside surface of the handle portion. A plurality of tracking sensors is disposed in the tracking arc, and are responsive to electromagnetic radiation emitted by the electronic system. An array of proximity sensors are spatially distributed around the outer surface of the handle portion, and are responsive to a proximity of the user's fingers to the outside surface of the handle portion.

Abstract: An electronic controller includes a controller body having a head that adjoins a handle at a neck region, and that includes at least one thumb-operated control. The controller includes a hand retainer that in a closed position is configured to physically bias the user's palm against an outer surface of the handle. The hand retainer includes a resilient member that biases the hand retainer towards an open position. An adjustment mechanism couples the resilient member to the head and permits the resilient member to be adjusted betweena plurality of discrete positions to adjust the resilient member towards or away from the user's purlicue. The adjustment mechanism may include an anchor that is movable peripherally about the head between the plurality of discrete positions and is pivotably attached to the resilient member with a two-part fastener, with a friction member interposed between the resilient member and the anchor.

Abstract: A controller includes a body having a handle, and an array of proximity sensors spatially distributed on, in, beneath, or near the outer surface of the handle, responsive to a proximity of a user's fingers to that outer surface. A finger tracker converts the output of the array of proximity sensors to a set of joint angles corresponding to a plurality of the user's fingers. The controller may include a renderer for processing the joint angles to deform a hand mesh that is rendered for display. Values may be calculated to facilitate normalization of the output of the proximity sensor array and thereby generate a set of normalized finger detection data. This data may be processed through curl logic to produce a linear estimate of gross finger curl with respect to the user and thereby generate a set of estimates for a plurality of finger joint angles for the user.

Abstract: Herein disclosed are systems and methods for distributing equity rewards to users of a loyalty platform based on tracked user loyalty purchases, where the equity rewards are provided for businesses that are automatically selected based upon information regarding a transaction history of the user and/or demographics of the user. The disclosed systems and methods may enable a reduction in time in signing up for equity rewards for one or more businesses. The disclosure is further directed to determining a business associated with a transaction using information associated with the transaction from a third-party data aggregator/integrator.

Abstract: Herein disclosed are systems and methods for distributing fractional equity rewards to users of a loyalty platform based on tracked user loyalty purchases. The disclosed systems and methods may enable a reduction in time between a user loyalty purchase and distribution of a fractional equity reward determined based on the user loyalty purchase. In one example, by maintaining merchant deposit accounts within the loyalty platform, and by aggregating pending fractional equity rewards, a speed of fractional equity reward distribution may be increased. Further, the merchant deposit accounts may enable reduction of an amount of stock held in an inventory account of the loyalty platform. The disclosure is further directed towards reducing user frustration by displaying equity reward statuses indicating a status of a pending fractional equity reward, which may further include an indication of an estimated reward fulfillment time.

Abstract: Herein disclosed are systems and methods for automatically redistributing a user's accumulated rewards based on, in one example, a change in loyalty by the user. In one example, a method for redistributing accumulated rewards on a loyalty platform in a single click comprises displaying a selectable interface element on a user device, wherein the selectable interface element indicates an accumulated reward from a first business in a rewards account of the user on the loyalty platform, and at least a second business, responding to selection of the selectable interface element by purchasing an amount of shares of stock in the second business using the accumulated reward, and presenting a notification to the user indicating that redistribution of the accumulated reward has been performed. The disclosed systems and methods may enable a reduction in delays and user frustration associated with conventional approaches for rebalancing a portfolio of accumulated rewards.
