Abstract: Various embodiments relate generally to data science and data analysis, computer software and systems, and control systems to provide a platform to facilitate implementation of an interface, and, more specifically, to a computing and data storage platform that implements specialized logic to facilitate distribution of items in accordance with an automatically adaptive schedule, for example, via an interface. In some examples, a method may include predicting data representing, for example, a zone of time in which depletion of an item is predicted. The method may monitor whether to replenish the item, and transmit via a network an electronic message including one or more item characteristics associated with the item to be replenished. The method may also include receiving another electronic message, and transmitting a control message to a merchant computing system to initiate adaptive distribution to replenish the item, among other things.

Abstract: Various techniques for predictive replenishment of a sample of an item in accordance with an automatically adaptive schedule is described, including receiving at an adaptive distribution platform multiple requests for one or more items to be replenished by the adaptive distribution platform, analyzing each of the requests to identify an electronic request message associated with each of the requests and the items, identifying in the electronic request message an item characteristic associated with at least one item of the items to be replenished by the adaptive distribution platform, linking the item characteristic to a profile, and generating a control signal to a merchant computing system, the control signal including control data associated with replenishing the item and profile data.

Abstract: Various embodiments relate generally to data science and data analysis, computer software and systems, and digital messaging and control systems to determine at an adaptive distribution platform using a distribution predictor a point of time associated with a scheduled delivery of an item coinciding substantially with a zone of time associated with a predicted distribution date of the item, to transmit to a device an electronic message having data associated with an item characteristic and other data associated with a control user input configured to adapt the scheduled delivery, to receive a response to the electronic message indicating one or more actions to manage an order associated with the item, to determine whether a replenishment adjustment of the item is requested, and to transmit a control signal to a merchant computing system to perform one or more data operations associated with the order.

Abstract: A mobile software application implementing “live events,” via which a host of the event may sequentially offer one, two, three, four or more items to a plurality of guests in the event (e.g., via auction, via direct purchase, or via a giveaway). The host's device may obtain and transmit a real-time video stream, which is in turn provided to each guest's device in conjunction with real-time information about the item(s) being offered. Particular techniques protect a guest in a live event from unintentionally performing certain sensitive actions associated with the live event (e.g., placing bids or performing purchases). In particular, user interface elements may require the guest to perform a particular set of user interface interactions to perform the sensitive actions.

Abstract: Advertising is presented on a computer screen in the form of an animated multimedia character that will be referred to here as a “Shoshkele™.” The Shoshkele™ appears on the screen in an intrusive way at times which, to the user, are unpredictable, and it is entirely out of his control. The Shoshkele™ can move over the entire screen and is in the top layer of the display of the browser program, so it is not covered up by any window or object. It can also provide sound, including speech, music and sound effects. The sporadic appearance of the Shoshkele™ and its entertainment value draw the attention of the user. The Shoshkele™ character is produced by executeable code provided to the computer, the executeable code being determined by what other executeable code is available on the computer. The present advertising concept and Shoshkeles™ can be realized with existing technology.
