  • Patent number: 11218761
    Abstract: A computing device includes memory for storing commercial metadata and offer metadata harvested from within an offer distribution network. A processor compares the commercial metadata related to a broadcast commercial to be streamed to a client media device with the offer metadata related to available offers from offer providers, to generate a comparison. The processor then selects an offer from the available offers based on the comparison; determines when and over what video stream the broadcast commercial is to be streamed; detects that a screen device is paired to the client media device; and delivers the offer to a display of the screen device during streaming of the broadcast commercial over the video stream to the client media device. When a user of the screen device selects an indicia of the offer, the offer is collected into a virtual wallet from which the offer can be redeemed in various ways.

  • Patent number: 10341705
    Abstract: A computing device includes memory for instructions and offers in a virtual wallet. A processor pairs private area networking (PAN) circuitry with a television to enable interaction with offers delivered in conjunction with commercials streamed to the television. The processor detects a first offer delivered in conjunction with a particular broadcast commercial, the first offer including a selectable indicia and delivers the first offer to the virtual wallet responsive to detecting selection of the selectable indicia.

  • Patent number: 10129524
    Abstract: According to various embodiments of the invention, a system and method are provided for enabling interaction with, manipulation of, and control of depth-assigned content in depth-enhanced pictures, such as virtual reality images. Depth-assigned content can be assigned to a specified depth value. When a depth-enhanced picture is refocused at a focus depth substantially different from the specified assigned depth value, the depth-assigned content may be omitted, grayed out, blurred, or otherwise visually distinguished. In this manner, content associated with an in-focus image element can be visually distinguished from content associated with an out-of-focus image element. For example, in at least one embodiment, depth-assigned content is visible only when an image element associated with the content is in focus (or nearly in focus).

  • Patent number: 9881943
    Abstract: Presented here are manufacturing techniques to create an irregularly shaped electronic display, including a hollow within which a sensor, such as a camera, can be placed. The manufacturing techniques enable the creation of the hollow anytime during the manufacturing process. The resulting electronic display occupies the full side of the mobile device, with the sensors placed within and surrounded by the display.

  • Publication number: 20170196990
    Abstract: Disclosed is a solid phase method of synthesising biomolecule-drug-conjugates (e.g. antibody-drug-conjugates) using photocleavable moieties. The method comprises: (i) providing an immobilised photocleavable group-biomolecule conjugate; (ii) optionally contacting the immobilised photocleavable group-biomolecule conjugate with a chemical modification agent or activating agent to provide an immobilised photocleavable group-biomolecule conjugate that is chemically modified or activated at the biomolecule portion; (iii) contacting the immobilised photocleavable group-biomolecule conjugate of step (i) or the chemically modified or activated immobilised photocleavable group-biomolecule conjugate of step (ii) with a drug component to form an immobilised photocleavable group-biomolecule-drug-conjugate; and (iv) irradiating the immobilised photocleavable group-biomolecule-drug-conjugate of step (iii) with radiation thereby releasing the biomolecule-drug-conjugate.
