Abstract: A system and method for the remote creation of digital portraits is presented. The system includes a local computing device with input devices including a touchscreen monitor, microphone, speakers, camera and fee payment device, and output devices including a printer and a pen plotter. A paper transfer subsystem transfers paper from the printer to the pen plotter. The above hardware being packaged in a cabinet styled as a photo booth. The local computing device is connected to a remote computing device equipped with a digital painting program, via a network. A user interface application (“UI”) is stored in memory on the local and remote computing devices. The UI is configured to operate the system hardware so as to allow a user of the local computing device to contact an artist using the remote computing device to have a digital portrait painted. Once the digital portrait is completed, the portrait is printed out by the local computing device.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies of network service control for anchoring client devices for network service access control are provided herein. In one aspect of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a system is provided and can include a processor and a memory storing computer-executable instructions that, upon execution of the processor, configure the processor to perform operations. The operations can include receiving an anchor instantiation command to anchor one or more client devices to an authorized service location. The anchor instantiation command can initiate an anchor instantiation time period. The operations can include determining, during the anchor instantiation time period, a plurality of anchor attributes associated with the one or more client devices at the authorized location.
