Publication number: 20240373086Abstract: Methods for creating a bidirectional user interface associated with an audiovisual broadcast are disclosed. Along with the audiovisual broadcast, instructions are provided to generate a first user interface overlaid over the audiovisual broadcast by a device displaying the audiovisual broadcast. Upon capturing an identifier in the UI with a second device, a second user interface on the second device is generated, and the first user interface is updated to display information in conjunction with the second user interface. Methods are also disclosed for an Ultra-Dynamic Quick Response (QR) code. After a QR code encodes data that represents one or more variable values associated with an interface, and in response to receiving an input event representing that a change in value has occurred of at least one variable value, the interface is updated to replace the first QR code with a second QR code encoding data representing the change.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2024Publication date: November 7, 2024Applicant: CONTENT DIRECTIONS, INC.

Publication number: 20230293270Abstract: The disclosure presents a system, apparatus, and method for the creation of an accurate a repeatable dental prosthetic appliance. The system and method may be used to create prosthetics either the mandibular arch, the maxillary arch, or both. The system may include one or more of a bone reduction guide, a connectable tooth cap, an abutment guide, a scan bar, and scan bodies for use in photogrammetry record collection. The method includes installing the bone reduction guide to define an area of bone matter to remove from one or both dental arches, placing implants for the fixing of a completed dental prosthetic, and using the implants to generate accurate records to the creation of a merged computer storable record for the repeatable manufacture of dental prosthetics for the patient for whom the record was created.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Applicant: Digital Ape Dental Lab, LLCInventors: Matthew Donald Ross, Robert Elisha Stapp, JR.

Patent number: 11631114Abstract: A system and method for augmenting video displayed via web browser to add interactive functionality is disclosed. Elements are included in a structured media definition to cause the video player to instantiate one or more new elements on a webpage when the media is played, including a first script that includes instructions to generate an interactive menu and second script, such that selection of an option from the interactive menu will call one or more application programming interface (API) functions of the second script. The structured media definition causes loading of the video and execution of the instructions. A server backend receives and processes API calls from the second script and transmits responses to the API calls to be acted upon by the second script.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2022Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: CONTENT DIRECTIONS, INC.Inventors: Timothy Donald Ross, Christopher Schacht, David Sidman

Patent number: 11625727Abstract: A method may include operations including, receiving, at an application program interface (API) of a third party computing system, an API call related to a dispute associated with a user of an electronic device, the call being received from an electronic device to invoke a dispute resolution to the dispute. The method may include communicating, by the API in response to the API call, dispute information to dispute resolution intelligence of the third-party computing system. The method may include determining, by the dispute resolution intelligence based on the dispute information, the decision with respect to the dispute, and providing the decision to a callback interface in response to the dispute information having been received from the API. The method may additionally include communicating, by the callback interface to the electronic device identified in response to the dispute information having been received from the API, the decision to the dispute resolution.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2019Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: PayPal, Inc.Inventors: Savitha Ajitraj, Sarathy Rajagopalan, Manickkam Pandian, Padmini Janaki, Ramaguru Ramasubbu, Rashmi Singh Prakash, Manvendra Sharma, Siddharth Zarapkar, Simran Kaur, Donald Ross, Zoulfia Moret
