Abstract: Described in detail herein are methods and systems for dynamically transmitting alerts. Sensors disposed in a facility can detect mobile devices roaming around the facility when they are within range of the sensor. The sensor can transmit the location an identification information of the mobile devices to a computing system. The computing system can determine physical objects disposed within a predetermined distance to the mobile devices. The computing system can determine if at least one physical object is of interest to the users of the mobile devices. The computing system can transmit an alert including information associated with the physical object and generate a messaging interface on the mobile devices. The computing system can prompt the users of the mobile devices to input information associated with the physical object. The computing system can dynamically update the database based on the information input associated with the physical object.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are related to a secure storage system for maintaining ownership rights of digital works. Embodiments of the secure storage system can include the user terminal device, one or more non-transitory computer-readable media, and a computing system.

Abstract: Examples of the disclosure provide systems and methods for managing a smart appliance. A computing system receives, from a smart appliance associated with an appliance type, a transaction request associated with a transfer between a user and a profile manager, and determines whether a transaction ledger includes transaction data associated with a reference transaction. The reference transaction is associated with a reference configuration of an appliance associated with the appliance type. On condition that the transaction ledger includes the transaction data, the computing system transmits a configuration instruction to the smart appliance to automatically configure the smart appliance to operate in accordance with the reference configuration, and communicates with one or more nodes in a network to validate a transaction associated with the transfer.

Abstract: Examples of the disclosure provide systems and methods for managing participation in a monitored system. A system identifies an asset associated with trigger data and authorization data. The trigger data is associated with triggers configured to execute on condition that parameters are satisfied, and the authorization data is associated with an authorization of members to perform tasks. A transaction request associated with a transfer of the asset is transmitted to a network, and a validation notification is received from the network. On condition that the first parameter is satisfied, a validation notification associated with a transfer of another asset between the participant and the member is received from the network. On condition that the second parameter is satisfied, a validation notification associated with another transfer of the asset between the participant and the first member is received from the network.

Abstract: Examples of the disclosure provide systems and methods for managing distributed content. A computing system constructs a permission list including a first layer defining first privileges and a second layer defining second privileges. The permission list is associated with a first transaction regarding the distributed content between a first user and a second user such that the first layer is associated with the first user and the second layer is associated with the second user. A request associated with the first transaction is transmitted to a network including one or more nodes, and a notification associated with a validation of the first transaction is received from the network. If a parameter is satisfied, a trigger is executed to modify the second layer. A notification associated with a validation of a second transaction regarding the distributed content between the first user and the second user is received.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for facilitating collaborative shopping. Notifications may be sent to remote devices in response to a shopper's device entering a store or within a given proximity to a store. Notifications may invoke or include an interface to add items to a shared shopping list. Notifications from the shopper's device may be sent in advance of a user entering a store to alert friends and family to add items to the shared shopping list. A remote device may be used to authorize and instruct the shopper's device to pick up items that have been previously purchased either automatically or in response to an input from a user of the remote device. Authorization to pick up the previously-purchased item may be transmitted to one or both of a merchant and the shopper's device.

Abstract: A retail gift card system with integrated account and electronic receipt tracking is disclosed. The retail gift card system comprises an internet-accessible customer account and a customer account linked gift card. The gift card is used to purchase merchandize from a retailer-operated store, whereupon transaction data, monetary value data, and/or electronic receipt data is contemporaneously captured and stored on a retailer-operated computer network in association with the customer account. To promote customer convenience, the gift card is provided with a machine-readable link to the customer account, thereby enabling “on-the-spot” access using, for example, a smartphone. Particular embodiments of the system include a balance depositing function and/or electronic coupon and warranty coupling.
