  • Publication number: 20240112215
    Abstract: Systems and methods for distributing rewards based on user actions performed in association with multimedia content are disclosed. One computer-implemented method may include: receiving, at the server, an indication of a real-world action performed by a user; identifying, by the server, that the real-world action corresponds to a rewards-based action performed in association with an article of multimedia content present on a media-streaming platform, wherein the rewards-based action at least corresponds to visitation to a geographic location associated with an aspect of the article of multimedia content; determining, by the server, whether performance of the rewards-based action necessitates distribution of a reward to the user, ascertaining, subsequent to determining that performance of the rewards-based action does necessitate distribution of the reward to the user, a type of the reward; and distributing, based on the ascertaining, the reward of the ascertained type to the user.

  • Publication number: 20240114188
    Abstract: Systems and methods for apprising a user of a proximately located aspect-of-interest are disclosed. One method may include: receiving an indication of a geographic location associated with the user; identifying an aspect associated with a multimedia content interest of the user; determining whether the geographic location associated is within a predetermined distance to a known location the aspect associated with the multimedia content interest; transmitting, responsive to determining that the geographic location is within the predetermined distance to the known location, instructions to a user device associated with the user to provide a notification to the user; receiving, at the server, another indication that the user has provided interaction input to the notification; and transmitting additional instructions to another device to perform an action that is based on the interaction input.

  • Publication number: 20210263218
    Abstract: An input device for a multiple wavelength band optical switch comprising: an optical demultiplexer configured to receive light and disperse the received light along a dispersion axis; and a light director configured to direct light in a first wavelength band to the optical demultiplexer at a first angle of incidence and to direct light in a second wavelength band to the optical demultiplexer at a second angle of incidence, the second angle of incidence being different from the first; wherein the difference between the first and second angles of incidence causes the demultiplexer to output dispersed spectra of light corresponding to the first and second bands such that the dispersed spectrum corresponding to the first band is overlapped along the dispersion axis and separated along a switch axis relative to the dispersed spectrum corresponding to the second wavelength band, the switch axis being perpendicular to the dispersion axis.
