  • Publication number: 20210406995
    Abstract: In the creative community, a need exists to efficiently market creative works including music, concerts, photographic, video programs, motion pictures, two and three dimensional works of art and literary works. The cost of creating works of art has never been less. Computer programs like Garage Band and iMovie have lowered production costs so that more people than ever before are engaged in creativity. The present invention links the creative community with investors, venue owners, social media influencers, other artists, art critics, art distributors, literary agents, art brokers and dealers and the overall audience for creative works. The present invention represents a significant augmentation to the traditional artists and repertoire departments of the major record companies and will enable a bidding marketplace so that creative works may be monetized at the moment of creation and combined with other preexisting artwork to enable marketing compilations or derivative works expeditiously.

  • Patent number: 9191880
    Abstract: A method and system that limits the use of a communication device present in an area controlled by an intelligent controller. The intelligent controller detects any present communication devices in the area and conducts an inventory providing information about each detected device. The intelligent controller compares that information to a standard of use data, which specifies the conditions need to be present for allowing the usage of a communication device. If such conditions are not met, the intelligent controller sends commands to the communication device to restrict its functionality. Else if, the intelligent controller is incapable of restricting the communication device, it can notify authorities of unauthorized usage of a communication device in the restricted area.

  • Patent number: 7769207
    Abstract: The disclosed system and method utilizes a plurality of biometric sensing and recording apparati as a means of observing, tracking, and identifying people. In particular, biometric data is collected, stored, sorted, and/or analyzed, creating a composite profile of one or more individuals regardless of whether or not their identity is known. The system permits more effective location and identification of individuals in secure settings or in the environment at large, as well as the location of individuals who may be lost or in need of aid. It also permits the prediction of the future behavior of these individuals, so that they may be tracked or intercepted.

  • Patent number: 5172111
    Abstract: A program material screening device is provided whereby the owner/operator of a program material playback device such as a videocassette player, television, laser disc player, motion picture projector, phonograph or the like may automatically and selectively prevent the reproduction into humanly perceivable form of unwanted program material. The screening device is capable of recognizing non-interfering material content signals stored along with the program signals that are reproduced by the program material playback device, and is capable of automatically disabling the playback device in response to the recognition of the material content signal.
