  • Publication number: 20250008058
    Abstract: A system and method to create original content by means of merging different content from multiple individual devices into at least one combined content set. The system includes multiple content capture devices, a database that stores media content from the multiple individual devices, a processor that merges the data content, and a server that distributes the merged content. Moreover, the merging processor applies a set of rules as to how the content is to be merged into the combined content set and the distribution server has a set of distribution rules related to how the combined content is distributed and the user(s) that can consume the combined content.

  • Publication number: 20240347138
    Abstract: A system and method that provides a rule-based process utilizing a managed randomization procedure for the purpose of improved genetic modification. The system includes a database that stores specific genetic sequences. Additionally, included is a genetic sequence rules engine that generates a sequence of approved genetic content based on genetic characteristics rules and a predictive rules engine that produces genetic sequence content selection characteristics based on biologic goal(s). A randomization engine is applied to the planned genetic sequence to build a set of alternate genetic sequences. Furthermore, by applying the generated genetic characteristics rules to the list of approved genetic elements to select genetic edits, such that the targeted genetic characteristics are optimized, and negative characteristics are minimized in accordance with the goal(s) of the process. This process may occur in a computer test environment, a controlled laboratory environment, and/or the natural environment.

  • Publication number: 20240296482
    Abstract: A system and method that provides a process of utilizing artificial intelligence and user contextual information to create improved commercial content. Generally, commercial content is incongruent with the rest of entertainment content, acting as a distraction. Commercial content can be seen by a user as valuable if it is personalized and contextually relevant. Connected devices provide a great deal of information related to the user, their interests, and their environment. Artificial Intelligence (AI) enables rapid creation of content that can be tailored to a specific user efficiently, effectively, and inexpensively. The described system and method provides for the personalized creation of commercial content that is contextually relevant to the user through the use of AI.

  • Publication number: 20240142038
    Abstract: A system and method for a process to prepare piping such that it has a reduced chance of having biological organisms developing or growing within it by the addition of a metal structure to at least a portion of the inner wall of the piping. The system utilizes a limited amount of metal on or close to the inside wall of the piping to retard or suppress the growth of biological organisms within the piping. The limited amount of metal inside the pipe does not materially interfere with the structural aspects or performance of the pipe, nor does it significantly increase the price of the pipe, while providing a unique and novel improved anti-biologic organism performance. The system is suitable for home or professional use.

  • Publication number: 20240112214
    Abstract: A system and method that provides a process of calculating marketing compensation based on the recognition of consumer consumption of natural promotion elements in media content. Generally, promotion elements included in content appear to be incongruent with the rest of the content, inauthentic, and do not deliver the promotional brand enhancement that is desired. Natural promotion elements in media content are more authentic and offer the desired brand enhancement. The described system and method provide media content creators or media content distribution platforms a process to be compensated for the creator's natural promotional endorsements of brands. The described system and method analyze the media content and its distribution to identify and measure the quality of the included natural promotional elements, the duration of the natural promotional elements, the number of impressions of the media content consumed, and the amount of time the identified natural promotional elements are consumed.

  • Publication number: 20240038332
    Abstract: A system and method that provides a process of genetically modifying algae or seaweeds in order to have their life cycle processes changed such that they grow in such a way that after a period of time they arrive at negative buoyancy causing the algae or seaweed to sink to the bottom of a body of water. The purpose of this is to cause the carbon or other elements in the algae or seaweed to be captured and deposited on the floor of the body of water where the carbon or other elements of the dead algae or seaweed is sequestered and are not released into the body of water nor the atmosphere for a long period of time. Furthermore, the genetic modification may be done in such a way that the targeted genetic characteristics are optimized and may not be passed to subsequent generations of the algae or seaweed. This process may occur in a computer virtual test environment, a controlled laboratory environment, or the natural environment.

  • Patent number: 11409792
    Abstract: A system and method that provides a rule based randomized media content management system. The system includes a database that stores media content that is associated with category metadata that identifies content of the media content with corresponding categories. Moreover, a programming rules engine generates a list of approved media content based on business rules and a predictive rules engine generates media content selection characteristics based on media display device data and media consumption data associated with the viewer. Furthermore, a media content playlist engine is provided that generates a media content playlist by applying the generated media content selection characteristics to the list of approved media content to select media content, such that the resource consumption by the media display device is minimized by selecting media content that is targeted to the viewer of the media display device according to one or more business rules.

  • Patent number: 11405664
    Abstract: The system and method disclosed herein relate to the establishment of both the location and identity of individual items in pictures or videos and delivering of related information thereto. Initially, images in video source content are scanned and individual elements in the images are dynamically compared with digital images stored in a database to identify individual items in the image that match the digital images stored in the database. Upon detecting a match, information is accessed in the database that is related to the digital image that matches the identified individual item. The accessed information is then transmitted to a secondary system that is in communication with a display device, such that the accessed information is displayed on the secondary system in coordination with the video source content being displayed on the display device.

  • Patent number: 11330337
    Abstract: A method and system is provided for displaying and updating electronic information on a display device. In an exemplary aspect, the method includes storing first and second digital information relating to first and second products, respectively, and transmitting this information to a display device to be displayed thereon by user interface pages navigable by a user. Moreover, the method includes determining a current page that is being displayed on the display device and determining whether either the first digital information or the second digital information product is being displayed on the current page. When the current page is displaying the first digital information, the method transmits unscheduled updates of the first digital information, such that the current page dynamically displays updated first digital information. Alternatively, when the current page is not displaying the second digital information, the method transmits scheduled updates of the second digital information.
