Abstract: Current Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) rely on numerous legacy systems that can be altered or fail. The disclosed devices, methods and systems, present technical solutions to this problem which improves the functionality of NFT systems by storing all relevant information in a blockchain. A NFT may be created that is associated with a Page. An author/owner of the Page may insert Posts by calling a function on a smart contract that created the NFT. The Post is verified as coming from the owner of the Page and is placed into a logging or storage portion of a blockchain. People wishing to view the NFT may pull the logs or storage for the smart contract and obtain all content associated with that Page and optional Tag. Commands may also be placed in the Content to further modify the Page or organize the information. Posts can be used as building blocks.

Abstract: Devices, methods, and systems that thwart deepfake modification of media, and/or verify the identity of a person and that their communications have not been altered, among other applications. A device is configured to use sensors to record a corroborating data set (CDS) pertaining to the user in near real time. The CDS is encrypted or signed by a user's private key to create a cryptographic verification code (CVC). The CVC may be displayed, emitted, or otherwise distributed by the totem device. Alternatively, the CVC may be superimposed or embedded as metadata in media produced by the device. The CVC cannot be modified with deepfake techniques while image and video data may be modified with deepfake techniques. Analysis of media containing a CVC can confirm whether the CVC is authentic, and whether the CDS contained within is consistent with the depiction of the user in the media.

Abstract: An intelligent monitoring device including a processor and an accelerometer and/or a device that includes at least one processor and at least one image sensor. The intelligent monitoring device is configured to observe at least one machine. The intelligent monitoring device is further configured to utilize its processor, or the processor of a coupled system, to recognize actions carried out on or by the at least one machine and infer the state of the machine. The intelligent monitoring device or the coupled system is further configured to provide alerts or help respond to queries about the status of the at least one machine. For example, the intelligent monitoring camera will infer the state of a washing machine based on its observations and provide an alert (optionally only to the user recognized to have loaded the washer) when the washing machine is ready to be unloaded.

Abstract: A computing system is configured to receive location data from a wireless device of a user. Upon receiving a search request from the wireless device, the computing system utilizes the location data to determine one or more likely travel routes of the user of the wireless device. In response to the search request, the computing system may select one or more establishments based on the likely travel routes and location data associated with the one or more establishments. The computing system may further transmit to the wireless device information associated with the selected one or more establishments.

Abstract: An infant development device or toy including a body configured to be held by an adult, and a directional input manipulated by an infant. The device or toy performs various functions in response to different directional input provided by the infant. For example, the toy may provide audio output corresponding with the directional input and/or visual output on a display device corresponding with the directional input. The toy may also include one or more additional input devices designed to be manipulated by the adult to provide positive reinforcement or corrective prompts to the infant. To use the toy, the adult carries the infant while holding the toy in one hand. The adult then walks the infant in the direction (forward, backward, turn right, turn left, etc.) indicated by the toy in response to the infant's manipulation of the directional input device. Other variations and uses for the device are contemplated.

Abstract: A computing system is configured to receive location data from a first wireless device of a first user. The system determines one or more coordinates associated with an establishment. The system determines that the first user is located at the establishment using the location data and the coordinates associated with the establishment. The system receives, from a second wireless device of a second user, a request for a location of the first user. The system determines that that the second user has permission to obtain the location of the first user. The system then transmits, to the second wireless device, information associated with the establishment where the first user is determined to be located.

Abstract: The inventive devices may be produced in various form factors including single display element form factors, dual element form factors, or form factors that incorporate one or more flexible panels instead of hinged flat panels. The devices also include sensors to determine the device configuration. The devices may be placed into various configurations including an upright laptop, stand, tent, small tablet, large tablet, dual monitor display, or book configuration. These devices may change display modes based on the current device configuration, the current task being performed on the device, and/or spatial context as determined by any one of various environmental and configuration sensors. Different display modes include normal, presentation, sharing, augmented reality, tracing, scanning, unobstructed, ambient light, 2.5D/3D modes. Applications can be written that take specific advantage of the inventive display elements, display modes, device form factors, and device configurations.

Abstract: A computing system is configured to receive location data from a first wireless device of a first user. The system determines one or more coordinates associated with an establishment. The system determines that the first user is located at the establishment using the location data and the coordinates associated with the establishment. The system receives, from a second wireless device of a second user, a request for a location of the first user. The system determines that that the second user has permission to obtain the location of the first user. The system then transmits, to the second wireless device, information associated with the establishment where the first user is determined to be located.

Abstract: Methods and systems that record the location of a user and transmit targeted content to a user based upon their current and past location information. A network is configured to include a server programmed with a database of targeted content, a database of location information, a database of user information, a database searching algorithm, and a wireless communication system capable of communicating with the user's mobile device. The location of the mobile device is ascertained and recorded. The location information is analyzed to determine the routes taken by the user, businesses visited by the user, and other behaviors of the user. Targeted content is sent to the mobile device of the user or exposure to physical content is tracked. Whether the user visits the physical locations associated with the content is monitored. Detailed conversion tracking is provided to producers of targeted content and business owners.

Abstract: The display includes a transparent display (TD) element or layer such as at least one Transparent Organic Light Emitting Diode (TOLED) element and at least one active shutter (AS) element or layer such as a liquid crystal shutter. The AS may be opaque or transparent. The TD may be transparent or display or emit light in mixtures of color. Black may be displayed by a TD pixel by having the TD be transparent and turning an AS opaque. Each display is composed of elements that can have many states. The states can be used to create different display modes. Devices with these displays can have many form factors and configurations. These devices may change display modes based on spatial context as determined by any one of various environmental and configuration sensors.
