Abstract: An art color coordinating manufacturing method includes the acquiring of a principal color and then acquiring coordinating colors of the principal color. A design is selected and modified with the coordinating colors to define an output image such that the output image coordinates with the principal color. The output image is then printed to be used as an art piece.

Abstract: A system obtains and transmits and stores information, including location information of an article associated with a chip. The system may contain at least: an article intimately associated with an electromagnetically interrogatable chip; a hand-held information receiving and transmitting device that can interrogate the chip, the hand-held information receiving and transmitting device comprising an RFID and/or NFC reader to electromagnetically interrogate the chip; the chip containing communicable information relating to the article; a distal server in wireless two-way communication with the hand-held information receiving and transmitting device, the distal server capable of receiving, storing and transmitting information from the chip transmitted through the hand-held device.

Abstract: Apparatus and a method using the apparatus to create on-line obtainable coupons include at least a first server enabling communication with a first class of third party on-line communicators having user inputs. The first server receives proposed content on coupons from the first class of third party communicators (consumers, vendees, or service users). The first server posts a list of proposed coupons, with or without modification of the proposed coupons after receipt from the first class of third-party on-line communicators. The server enables access to the server to a second class of third party communicators, which may be businesses. The server allows members of the second third party communicators to approve or disapprove of proposed coupons that are dedicated to business of the second third party communicator.
