  • Publication number: 20240394997
    Abstract: Some implementations relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media for digital advertising within a first virtual experience provided at a virtual experience platform. A virtual user engagement portal is provided within the first virtual experience that includes a portal member configured to transport an avatar to a second virtual experience. The second virtual experience may be associated with at least one media item, and may include a plurality of virtual items, activities, and other virtual content associated with the at least one media item. A return portal may be provided within the second virtual experience to return an avatar to the first virtual experience. User engagement metrics and/or advertising metrics may be aggregated and/or computed based on avatar interactions within the second virtual experience.

  • Publication number: 20240181836
    Abstract: A method to adjust a first temperature of an element of a motor vehicle to be interfaced with a passenger of the motor vehicle, comprising the steps of i) adjusting a second temperature on the inside of the motor vehicle based on a second temperature currently requested to an adjustment system for said second temperature; ii) detecting a third external temperature on the outside of a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle; iii) detecting a fourth current temperature on the inside of the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle; iv) detecting a current value of the first temperature of the element; v) processing a fifth temperature based on said first, fourth and fifth temperature; and vi) exchanging a quantity of heat with the element so as to adjust the first temperature; the quantity of heat depends on the fifth temperature.

  • Publication number: 20240078534
    Abstract: Some implementations relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media for transferring subscriptions in virtual experiences. A user account is credited with virtual currency based on a periodic subscription to a digital distribution platform. The periodic subscription is examined and two or more time periods are calculated around the periodic subscription. As the user subscribes to subscription-based virtual experiences using the user account, virtual items, and services, the credited virtual currency is earmarked and reduced. At the end of each subscription period, virtual currency payments are made to respective developer accounts associated with the subscription-based virtual experiences using the earmarked virtual currency.

  • Publication number: 20240025224
    Abstract: A vehicle having: at least one electric drive system; a battery; a passenger compartment; an air conditioning system to air-condition the passenger compartment and provided with at least one heat exchanger; a first thermoregulation circuit configured to have the fluid flow through the drive system; a second thermoregulation circuit configured to have the fluid flow through the battery; a third thermoregulation circuit configured to have the fluid flow through the heat exchanger; an electric heater, which is arranged along the third thermoregulation circuit and can be operated in order to heat the fluid flowing in the third thermoregulation circuit; and at least one solenoid valve movable between an isolation position, in which the fluid flowing through the first thermoregulation circuit does not flow through the third thermoregulation circuit, and a connection position, in which the fluid flowing through the first thermoregulation circuit also flows through the third thermoregulation circuit.

  • Patent number: 11660542
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media are provided for fraud detection within an interactive media system such as a computer-based game. In some implementations, fraud in online subscription payments can be detected. The fraud detection can be used to adjust virtual currency revenue sharing payouts to developers associated with the computer-based game.

  • Publication number: 20210245574
    Abstract: A method and apparatus to control an air conditioning system in a passenger compartment of a road vehicle comprising the steps of detecting a body temperature of at least a part of the body of one or more occupants of the passenger compartment and transmitting the detected body temperature to the air conditioning system, which controls a plurality of ventilation devices arranged inside the passenger compartment. The method comprises the further steps of identifying the number and the position of the one or more occupants seated in the passenger compartment; determining an optimized tuning at least based on the body temperature detected by the sensor member and controlling the ventilation devices as a function of the optimized tuning.
