Abstract: An adapter and casing apparatus (10) for an imaging device (26) such as portable sports cameras. The apparatus includes a mirror (22) which reflects a 360 degree image surrounding the apparatus (10) toward an existing lens (20) of the imaging device (26) such that a panoramic view can be recorded by the imaging device (26). A casing (12) encapsulates the imaging device (26) and has an attachment means which allows a locating member ((16) to be attached and which retains the mirror (22) at a desired distance from a lens of the imaging device ((26). This secures the mirror (22) relative to the imaging device (26) in order to focus the image reflected from the mirror (22) into the imaging device (26) without any modification to the imaging device (26) being required.

Abstract: A computer method for automating person-to-person lending comprises receiving from a user over a computer network at least one custom periodic payment amount for a loan period of a person-to-person loan; generating a custom loan schedule based on the custom amount; and transmitting the custom loan schedule over the computer network to the user. A further method comprises receiving from a first user over a computer network a request to modify at least one specific periodic payment amount for a loan period of a pre-existing person-to-person loan; receiving from a second user a consent to the first user's request; and generating a revised loan schedule for the loan based on the request to modify the payment amount. Another method comprises retrieving from a database loan history data for a person-to-person loan; and transmitting the loan history data to a credit reporting agency over a computer network.
