  • Publication number: 20240080352
    Abstract: A server operates between a customer and a subscriber to store data associated with the customer and data comprising media content associated with the subscriber. The server is configured to receive from the customer a request for content associated with products or services provided by the subscriber. The request is triggered by scanning a code by a user device operated by the customer. The request causes the server to retrieve customer information from data storage operated by the server. Based on the retrieved customer information and the request for content from the customer, the server retrieves personalized data associated with the subscriber. The personalized data comprises the media content associated with the subscriber that is tailored based on customer preferences stored in the server.

  • Patent number: 11765216
    Abstract: A server operates between a patron (user), a subscriber (e.g., owner of a venue of exhibits and its website; museum, stadium, zoo, theme park, etc.), and possibly third parties such as a content distribution network (CDN). Access and content delivery are based on 1) control information provided to a patron device by physical objects at the venue and sent by the patron device to the server as part of a mutual authentication to one another, 2) user-specific information corresponding to the patron device, and 3) a pre-authorization exchange granting user-device access to physical objects and the server with the server receiving access to the user-specific information in order to locate requested information and select a subset thereof adapted in accordance with the user information. Moving physically between exhibits, a patron device rapidly disengages and re-engages the server, based thereon, without repeated logins.

  • Publication number: 20200349058
    Abstract: A system and method for utilizing metadata of a client computer in form of transactions and/or software operations (e.g., actions) in an enterprise system hosted by a host entity, such as in a cloud environment for testing the software operations is disclosed. The host entity stores metadata (e.g., response time, delay, processing time, usage) about the transactions in a database for the client computer system's actions. The host entity then uses the stored metadata to automatically generate a test script based on actual user interactions with the software operations of the enterprise resource planning system for specific data range and environment in order to test functionality of a plurality of software operations in the enterprise resource planning systems being operated by users of the client computers.
