Patent number: 9016570Abstract: A credit card reader shields a credit card, stores data from one or more credit cards simultaneously and then selectively broadcasts data associated with one of the cards. A slim, electromagnetically shielding housing has a cavity and a card reader for reading data from a credit card received in the cavity. A processor connects the card reader to a memory component, and connects both to an RFID device, where the credit card data can be broadcast to an RFID reader. A control interface allows a user to initiate reading credit card data, to select a card data set to store in memory, or to broadcast a dataset. A display shows transaction information and stored card data. A retractable input/output plug can engage a socket on another device to transmit and receive data. A memory card device can selectively store credit card data and transaction data.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2014Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Inventor: Adrian Gluck

Publication number: 20140195147Abstract: A non-scaled, linearly compressed pictographic mapping system is provided for the visual display of information in a navigational aid. Unlike today's road maps which use a point-arc-polygon paradigm, the new mapping uses a non-scaled, linearly-compressed pictographic design that shows roads as linear pictograms. The display has a columnar layout, whereby the descriptive elements are grouped together by type, and displayed one above the other in columns. The maps may also contain icons representing points of interest arranged in a cloud fashion. In this manner, the mapping paradigm also serves to increase traveler safety, provide navigation assistance during address-less trips, create valuable advertising space and new promotional opportunities, and dramatically increases the travelers' communications and entertainment options.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2014Publication date: July 10, 2014Applicant: Calabrese Holdings L.L.C.Inventor: Adrian Gluck

Publication number: 20110230256Abstract: A system and method for delivering an electronic video game allows a consumer to purchase the game in sequential portions. The video game is broken down into incremental portions that are each individually available for sale. A consumer purchases a first portion of the video game that contains the first level, or set of levels, of the game. When the first portion is completed by the consumer, the consumer can then buy the next sequential portion for an additional incremental sum of money. The incremental portions may contain one or more levels. Similarly, the initial purchase vehicle may contain the entire game and a consumer purchases key codes to access subsequent portions of the game.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2010Publication date: September 22, 2011Applicant: DIGITAL INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS CORPORATIONInventors: Ammar Adra, Adrian Gluck

Patent number: 7711478Abstract: A novel mapping paradigm is provided for the visual display of information in the form of an improved navigational aid. Unlike today's road maps which use a point-arc-polygon paradigm, the new mapping paradigm uses a compressed linear-pictographic-topological design that typically depicts roads as vertical linear pictograms. Further, the display has a columnar layout, whereby the descriptive elements are grouped together by type, and displayed one above the other in columns. In this manner, the mapping paradigm also serves to increase traveler safety, provide navigation assistance during address-less trips, create valuable advertising space and new promotional opportunities, and dramatically increases the travelers' communications and entertainment options.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2006Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: Mappick Technologies, LLCInventor: Adrian Gluck

Patent number: 7607843Abstract: There are described herein systems and methods for producing and distributing personalized photographic souvenirs for spectators of an event. Equipment well-known in the art is used to take photographs of performers at the event, and to scan images or take photos of items representative of the event, for example a ticket stub, advertisement, or team names and logos. In addition, at least one pan-and-tilt camera system, also well-known in the art, is used to take an orderly, indexed series of photos of the spectators such that substantially every spectator will appear in at least one spectator photo. The spectator photos are indexed according to a predetermined mapping algorithm, which maps a particular location of the venue to a virtual sector. Individual souvenirs are then created at the venue in a centralized processing location, by organizing and combining a spectator photo with the other photos and/or scanned images.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2006Date of Patent: October 27, 2009Assignee: Media Technologies Licensing LLCInventor: Adrian Gluck

Publication number: 20050017501Abstract: A means and method of providing a novel collectible memorabilia item is disclosed. The present invention involves concealing a memorabilia item that is affixed to a carrier item by the manufacturer thereof. To ensure that the memorabilia item remains hidden, so that they can only be seen by buyers after they have paid for their purchase, the protective devices could optionally be tamper-proofed. Additionally, the means for concealment includes protective devices and/or the optional tamper-proofing devices in addition to components similar to those currently utilized in anti-theft systems. In addition to protecting the memorabilia item and ensuring that it remains with the carrier item, by concealing the memorabilia an element of chance is introduced to the purchasing process. Accordingly, the true value of the carrier item and the memorabilia item attached there to is not revealed until the carrier item is purchased and the protective device is then removed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2004Publication date: January 27, 2005Inventor: Adrian Gluck
