Abstract: A lottery communication system and method employs multiple device types communicating across a plurality of networks. According to various embodiments, the system and method utilizes a plurality of data collection terminals wherein retail sales data may be collected. Such information may then be communicated to a central processing component along with terminal information data specific to each of the plurality of data collection terminals. This terminal information data and retail sales data is supplemented with additional retail information and/or consumer information. Algorithmic processes facilitate analysis and normalization of the data to yield market insights, patterns, and trends across geographic boundaries, store types, and other parameters.

Abstract: A system and method for conversion of data entries input in accordance with a legacy data structure to be in accordance with an industry-standard data structure is disclosed. An extraction utility may generate an extraction class based on a compiler stab information, and the extraction class may extract a data entry input in accordance with a legacy data structure, may convert the data entry, and may output the data entry in accordance with an industry-standard data structure.

Abstract: An interactive media response processing system having a plurality of components logically distributed and employing non-relational databases is disclosed, where the response processing system receives interactive response requests from subscribers through set top boxes or other access devices and can process the responses in real time, to provide real time feedback to content producers. The system includes one or more collectors operably connected to one or more aggregators for collecting and aggregating interactive response information, and at least one communications message server connected to each network of subscribers. The communications message server normalizes the responses for each network for transmission to the collectors and aggregators. This system enables subscribers to participate in interactive broadcasts and view response replies in the form of updated interactive content in real time on their television screens or other displays.
