Abstract: A transaction involving the purchase of gaming credit at a gaming table or gaming machine is facilitated at a gaming establishment's touchpoint by transmitting from a wireless device (e.g., a patron's cell phone) to a transaction server operated by a transaction-funding business: patron-identifying information for the patron and a touchpoint ID associated with the touchpoint read using the wireless device. The transaction server authorizes the transaction, transmits that authorization to the cell phone and/or the gaming establishment, and the gaming establishment provides the gaming credit to the patron. In some implementations, the touchpoint has an associated voucher printer that prints a gaming voucher that is redeemed at the gaming table or gaming machine for the gaming credit. The transaction-funding business funds the purchase for the patron without any funds ever residing on or passing through the patron's cell phone.

Abstract: Product testing ensures whether the product is defect free or not and it is an important part of any product before product release. Any inadequacy in testing can result in financial losses and also damage the reputation, brand, and business. Functional testing is important since it verifies that the products functioning meets its requirements. Conventional methods mainly focus on executing test cases rather than generating test cases. Hence there is challenge to create scalable test cases for products with huge volume of data and with complex features. The present disclosure generates a plurality of time bound test cases based on an Artificial Rain Drop (ARD) algorithm. Here, events associated with an event based system are compiled in a tabular format. Each of the plurality of events are represented as a regular expression. Further, timed finite automaton is constructed for each regular expression prior to applying the ARD algorithm.

Abstract: A transaction is facilitated at a business's touchpoint by transmitting from a wireless device (e.g., a patron's cell phone) to a transaction server operated by a transaction-funding business: patron-identifying information for the patron and a touchpoint ID associated with the touchpoint read using the wireless device. The transaction server authorizes the transaction, transmits that authorization to the cell phone and/or the touchpoint business, and the touchpoint business provides goods/services to the patron. In some implementations, the transaction-funding business transfers outgoing funds for the transaction to the touchpoint business and receives incoming funds for the transaction from the patron. In a casino, a patron can use his/her cell phone to purchase gaming credit at a gaming table. The transaction-funding business funds the purchase for the patron without any funds ever residing on or passing through the patron's cell phone.
