Abstract: A method and system for engaging users may include providing interfaces and back-end support for a Scene-centric paradigm, i.e., “liking” interacting, with, sharing, and using Digital Content on a Scene level. This may include commenting on Scenes and/or having a system for managing Scenes according to a user’s preferences or characterizations. Another embodiment may comprise user interfaces and back-end support for user engagement through creating, or contributing to creation of, Remixes of Scenes. A Remix may be any user-guided alteration of the Digital Content comprising a Scene to create the Remix. Some examples include altering sound, substituting speech, altering visual elements, altering spatial layout, altering character features, adding annotations or commentary, changing color scheme properties, etc.

Abstract: An electronic/virtual visualization may comprise a rotatable two-sided object, similar in some respects to a card from the physical world. Each side of the electronic visualization object may comprise a flat or substantially flat face, which may comprise both a 2d (two-dimensional) area and a 3d (three-dimensional) window/frame area. The 3d window area may show a representation of a 3d object or scene, thereby giving the appearance that the 3d window area has depth behind the card object.

Abstract: A video player may comprise features for interacting with content in a manner that conveys to a viewer/consumer information about the relationship between an NFT and the content, and additionally provides an interface for the user/viewer to exploit, utilize, and/or engage. Content interface may identify portions of the content with an elevated status, rarity, and desirability. An NFT may be purchased and/or sold through the content interface. NFTs may be tracked in an off-blockchain registry and conventional blockchain may be used as a secondary register. The blockchain may be used for a universal access control list. The content may be tagged with an association between content and an idea. Content tagging may be independently searchable. Content interface may have segment-sensitive threading that updates as content progresses. An interface may present a textual or graphic representation of a user's impact on the community.

Abstract: A method of controlling vehicle driving is described. The method may include detecting that a mobile device is paired with a proxy device associated with a vehicle. The method may additionally include generating an approval signal responsive to detecting that the mobile device is paired with the proxy device. The method may additionally include sending the approval signal to the proxy device. The approval signal may authorize the proxy device to send a secret code to the vehicle to activate one or more vehicle functions associated with the vehicle. The method may additionally include detecting that the vehicle is in a drive mode responsive to an activation of the one or more vehicle functions. The method may additionally include performing one or more driving control functions responsive to detecting that the vehicle is in the drive mode.

Abstract: A system and method to orchestrate in-vehicle experiences to enhance safety are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: queuing a collection of contextually relevant portions of information gathered from one or more vehicle-connectable data sources; selecting one or more of the relevant portions of information based on a vehicle's current context or a vehicle driver's current context; determining an active workload of the vehicle driver in the current context; determining a preferred manner for presenting the selected portions of information to the vehicle driver based on the active workload of the vehicle driver and the current context; and presenting the selected portions of information to the vehicle driver using the determined preferred manner.

Abstract: A system and method for providing an adaptive experience framework for an ambient intelligent environment are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: detecting as context change in an environment causing a transition to a current temporal context; assigning, by use of is data processor, as task set from a set of contextual tasks, the task set assignment being based on the current temporal context; activating the task set; and dispatching a set or interaction resources, corresponding to the contextual tasks in the task set, to present a state of the current temporal context to a user by use of a plurality of interaction devices corresponding to the set of interaction resources.

Abstract: A system and method for providing a secure data container for an ambient intelligent environment are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: collecting a set of information from a first digital network information endpoint associated with a vehicle; associating, by use of a data processor, a persistent digital identifier with the collected information, the persistent digital identifier being derived from information associated with the vehicle; enabling a user to specify a shared data set from the collected information; enabling the user to specify a set of sharing controls corresponding to the shared data set; combining information identifying the shared data set and the sharing controls in a secure container; and enabling to second digital network information endpoint to access the shared data set via the secure container upon presentation of a valid secure access token.

Abstract: A system and method enabling service and application roaming are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: unifying a plurality of user services and applications from a plurality of sources in an environment into a shared ecosystem of services and applications; assigning, by use of a data processor, a digital identity to the shared ecosystem of services and applications; detecting a context change in the environment causing a transition to a current context; causing a task set to be performed in response to the context change; and dispatching a set of interaction resources, corresponding to the task set, to present a state of the current context to a user by use of a plurality of interaction devices corresponding to the set of interaction resources, the set of interaction resources being accessed using the plurality of user services and applications in the shared ecosystem of services and applications.

Abstract: A method and system for ranking transaction channels, for enabling transactions between two or more real world identities within one or more networks is provided. The real world identities have various transaction channels associated with them. Relationships between the real world identities and contexts are asserted by the identities, and also inferred by the system. Thereafter, a channel ranking score for each transaction channel is computed, based on the availability of the channel; and contexts and the relationships. The channels are ranked dynamically, and the most appropriate channel for transaction is selected based on the channel ranking scores.

Abstract: The present invention is a method to control communication channels using universal and persistent identifiers in circuit/packet switched or converged networks. The method involves linking domain specific addresses or concrete identifiers of communication end points within or across channels, domains and networks with an abstract, persistent and universal identifier that represents the single point of contact or principal identity of the user. The principal identity can specify parameters of inbound/outbound communication relationships with other specified/unspecified users/entities inter-alia through default/specific levels of control in communication relationships on/across/through normal or alternate channels, domains, applications, networks, etc., based on universal/persistent identifiers such as XRI.

Abstract: The invention discloses a system and method for notifying and authorizing card transaction by a user. The notifying and authorizing a card is done by a card fraud control system. The card user is notified on his hand held device by a short message service that a card transaction is taking place. The card user can also authorize the credit card transaction by keying in a personal identification number from his hand held device. The system also enables the user to change the rule-based system for a credit card transaction using voice and text inputs from a hand held device.
