  • Patent number: 9483908
    Abstract: Methods and systems for conducting a competition within a gaming environment. Two or more players can be enabled to electronically access a gaming environment over a communication network. The players can be registered to allow access to a competition within the gaming environment. Each player can be enabled to compete against one or more other players by selecting from macro events displayed in the gaming environment one or more micro event outcomes to future micro events, the micro event outcomes randomized to prevent cheating. A selection of the micro outcomes utilizes a number of points or credits, wherein each selection of a micro outcome increases a selecting player's points or credit balance if the micro outcome occurs or decreases the points or credit balance if the micro outcome selected does not occur.

  • Publication number: 20160210429
    Abstract: Wearable devices can be used to associate patients with healthcare providers, within and outside of a healthcare facility. Wearable devices and transponders can be used to track patient location within a facility and determine when a healthcare provider is within close proximity to a patient to provide record access, track and record treatment, and authorize treatment. A patient profile stored in a server can associate patients and healthcare providers. Treatment notifications can be provided to health care providers authorized to receive electronic notifications when a patient receives subsequent treatment at a facility or by a new and/or unregistered healthcare provider. Notification lists can be stored in the patient profile accessible via the server when a patient is admitted for treatment at a treatment facility.

  • Publication number: 20160019423
    Abstract: A wearable device that can provide images via a display located within two inches and in view of a human eye in association with headgear, and can biometrically authenticate an authorized user based on at least one of a user's eye. The wearable device can access a data network and determine a user's location. An authorized user can be provided with data based on the user's identity and location as determined by a wearable device. The location of a user within a venue can be determined using radio frequency transponders in communication with a wearable device and authenticating the user via biometric attributes of a user's eye as captured by a imaging device associated with the wearable device. Sensitive data can be managed in association with a patient based on health provider authentication and identity of a transponder used in association with the patient.

  • Publication number: 20150235540
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and processor-readable media for providing instant/real-time voice alerts automatically to remote electronic devices. An activity can be detected utilizing one or more sensors. A text message indicative of the activity can be generated and converted into a digitized voice alert. The activity can also be a live utterance (e.g., a live announcement), which can then be instantly converted into a digitized voice alert for automatic delivery in a selected series of languages following the base language (e.g., English). The combined digitized voice alert can then be instantly transmitted through a network for broadcast of consecutive alerts (e.g., English followed by Spanish followed by Vietnamese, etc.) to one or more remote electronic devices that communicates with the network for an automatic audio announcement of the digitized voice alert through the one or more remote electronic devices.

  • Publication number: 20150172287
    Abstract: Methods and systems for authorizing a wireless device via biometrics. A biometric interface permits a user to enter via the biometric interface, one or more biometric attributes employable for authorizing the wireless device for use by the user. The biometric interface is displayable via a display associated with the wireless device. A user can be prompted to enter his or her biometric attribute(s) via the biometric interface displayed via the wireless device (e.g., Smartphone, tablet computing device, etc.). A sensor communicates electronically with the biometric interface and detects and analyzes the biometric attribute(s) entered by the user via the biometric interface to verify that the biometric attribute(s) is associated with the user. The wireless device is authorized as associated with the user, if it is verified that the biometric attribute(s) is associated with the user, in response to detecting and analyzing the biometric attribute(s) via the sensor.
