  • Patent number: 10499228
    Abstract: A guest engagement system and associated methods provide seamless engagement with guests of facilities through the use of wireless sensing technologies. The system makes use of individual guest devices which are carried by guests and used to automatically identify and authenticate the guests throughout the facility. Services can thereby be seamlessly provided to the guests throughout the facility. The services include automatic unlocking of doors, including hotel or state room doors, based on the guests' immediate proximity to their assigned room's door. The services also include automated payment services provided at checkout or vending terminals, and automated log-on to interactive displays and portals, among others, based on secure wireless authentication of the guest devices.

  • Publication number: 20190303781
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is directed to automated trust discretionary distribution decisions. The innovative system comprises a computer server configured to perform the steps of: receiving, via an electronic input, a trust beneficiary cash distribution request relating to a trust instrument; responsive to the trust beneficiary request, obtaining trust details relating to the trust instrument; applying, via a computer server, a trust decision predictor to the distribution request to generate a trust decision wherein the trust decision predictor considers a set of decision factors comprising the trust beneficiary cash distribution request, beneficiary details, trust details and applicability of governing restrictions; presenting, via an electronic interface, the trust decision; automatically executing the trust decision; and applying feedback data to refine and standardize the trust decision predictor.

  • Patent number: 8818175
    Abstract: A system for creating video programming is provided. The system includes: a processor-based production server that has access to a library of existing styles for wrapping around video, each of such styles including a specific arrangement of design elements; a processor-based contributor device configured to accept input of video content and electronically transfer such video content to the production server via a network; and a processor-based administrator device, providing a user interface that permits a user to: (i) design new styles and modify the existing styles, (ii) specify rules as to when particular styles are to apply, and (iii) electronically communicate the new and modified styles and the rules to the production server. The production server applies the specified rules in relation to user-specific information in order to select a style and applies the selected style to generate a completed show.
