Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and system for facilitating communication sessions between a service provider and a consumer. More specifically, the embodiments described herein are directed to receiving, from a consumer, a request for a product or service. The request is analyzed to determine one or more service providers that perform or provide the requested product or service. When various service providers are identified, an algorithm ranks the service providers from high to low. The highest ranked service provider is provided with an opportunity to instantly begin a communication with the consumer. If the highest ranked service provider declines, the next highest service provider is given the opportunity.

Abstract: A control unit for a home video game console, including a control unit body, a display supported by the control unit body for displaying information and/or images relating to the game, and a recess defined by the control unit body for accommodating a second control unit equipped with an accelerometer and/or with tilt sensors. The recess has an electrical connection between the two control units, wherein the displayed information and/or images are changed in response to signals received by the accelerometer and/or the tilt sensors and transmitted to the display through the electrical connection. A touch screen overlying at least partially over the display, detects tactile commands including a sequence of locations touched on the screen able to change the displayed information and/or images.
