  • Publication number: 20210241400
    Abstract: A method for completing a smart contract includes generating, by a smart contract application installed on a first user device, a proposal for a smart contract. The method also includes creating a set of parameter options for completing the smart contract and displaying the set of parameter options via the first user device. The method further includes transmitting, by the first user device, the proposal for the smart contract to a set of second user devices specified by the parameter options. The method also includes completing the smart contract by the smart contract application installed on the first user device and notifying each of the second user devices, only when required parameters in the parameter options are met.

  • Publication number: 20150186687
    Abstract: A mobile communications device includes a memory that stores instructions and a processor that executes the instructions. When executed by the processor, the instructions cause the mobile communications device to perform a process including capturing data at the direction of a user of the mobile communications device, analyzing the data captured to identify the data captured, automatically forwarding a request for content over a communications network in accordance with identifying the data captured, receiving the content over the communications network, and processing the content to provide output to the user.

  • Publication number: 20150106395
    Abstract: A media processing system provides services for metadata-seeking behavior. The system includes a memory that stores executable instructions and a processor that executes the executable instructions. The system also includes a receiver that receives, based on a person initiating capture of source input in seeking metadata for an object associated with the source input, source input from a requesting device used by the person to initiate the capture of the source input in the metadata-seeking behavior. Ultimately, content is dynamically identified for presentation to the person.

  • Patent number: 9008432
    Abstract: Information is arranged within a predetermined shape. The predetermined shape is captured in an image taken by a tangible image-capturing element of a device which captures images at the direction of a user. The device includes a tangible processor that analyzes the image captured by the image-capturing element to determine whether a predetermined shape is present in the image. The tangible processor determines an alignment of the predetermined shape when the predetermined shape is present in the image, and reads data within the predetermined shape in accordance with the determined alignment. The device automatically forwards a request for content over a communications network in accordance with the data read within the predetermined shape. The device receives the content over the network and displays the content.
