Abstract: Methods for creating a collectible item or items, collectible items, and methods and systems for sale, use and distribution thereof. In some examples, a unique collectible item (or set of items) is created relative to an event such as a sporting event by tracking elements of a participant's performance such as with a wearable device, which stores event data related to the participant. The stored event data is then packaged with or without additional data, such as highlights, interviews, images, etc. and provided to a buyer. In some examples, the buyer will have purchased the right to receive the collectible item in advance of the event. The collectible item may be a tangible object, an intangible data file, or a combination of tangible item and data file.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for remote medical analysis. Advances in mobile devices offer a way to connect animals and veterinarians in ways other than physical proximity. Using a phone's camera to take photos or and/or video and send those to a veterinarian allows greater degree of detail to be communicated in triaging or diagnosing or follow-up for an animal. Additionally, the camera could be used to conduct a video chat between an animal owner and a veterinarian allowing real-time viewing and conversation between the two parties.

Abstract: A method for providing animal related services or products includes receiving an audio request on a cloud connected device supporting voice detection and voice response and determining whether at least one of a veterinary consult service and an animal related product is required. A veterinary consult service can provide diagnosis of pet condition based at least in part on a sequence of voiced questions and voiced responses asked and received through the cloud connected device and the animal related product can be billed and delivered at least in part using the animal support system.

Abstract: A system for providing animal related information to animal professionals includes a cloud connected device supporting voice detection and voice response for information receipt and information data input between animal professionals. The voice detection and voice response can be provided by an animal support system that includes a user interface module connected to the cloud connected device to provide non-audio information. Animal related data supplied by the animal support system can be electronically transferrable using a defined format that includes audio information.

Abstract: A voice controlled virtual assistant usable by livestock management or workers is disclosed. Information received via a cloud connected device can include veterinary related questions, curated answers, or access to individual animal health records. The animal support system can actively provide information derived from information received through the cloud connected device, including warnings derived from audio monitoring of animal condition. In some embodiments, the cloud connected device can interact with additional sensors that monitor animal condition, capture animal images, or provide electronically available animal tag identification or sensor information.

Abstract: A method for providing veterinary services includes receiving a request for veterinary services for a pet through a communication network that supports audio communications. A diagnosis of pet medical condition can be provided based at least in part on information received through an automated veterinarian service manager. In some embodiments veterinarian service manager can direct a user to a veterinarian based on diagnosis of pet condition.
