  • Patent number: 11950923
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses monitor mammal conditions, report condition changes, and provide neurocode-based treatment in response to condition changes. A mammal implantable controller includes modules to monitor, wirelessly communicate to external computers, and administer treatment received from a remote computer based on monitoring of changes in mammal condition as analyzed by the remote computer. External computers can be provided in the form of a mobile device (e.g., smartphone/tablet), resident treatment pods, and treatment servers. Treatment can be provided to change biological function or trigger cell death in cancer cells.

  • Patent number: 11890815
    Abstract: Three-dimensional object bridge between virtual and physical worlds. A method, system, apparatus and/or computer-usable medium includes steps of selecting a three-dimensional item in a first state for subsequent rendering into a second state and rendering the three-dimensional item in the second state via the three-dimensional rendering apparatus. An additional step of locating a three-dimensional rendering apparatus for rendering the three-dimensional item in a second state can be included. The three-dimensional rendering apparatus can be configured as a kiosk (manned or unmanned), Internet-enabled vending machine, and the like. The first state can comprise a virtual state and the second state can comprise a physical state. Likewise, the first state can comprise a physical state and the second state can comprise a virtual state. Additionally, the three-dimensional item/object can be mapped in the first state for rendering in the second state.

  • Publication number: 20230344960
    Abstract: An electronic device can be synchronized with a broadcast of a live sporting event to obtain supplemental sports data over a data network from a server storing data associated with the live sporting event. Supplemental sports data is obtained from the server for display on the electronic device following a triggering activity associated with the broadcast of the live sporting event. Supplemental sports data can be transmitted for rendering on a display associated with the electronic device. Supplemental sports data can include display of an instant replay video of a sports athlete combined with audio of a pre-recorded statement by the sports athlete associated with the instant replay video, an announcement of a score change for a sporting event monitored by the electronic device, and a display of a football widget providing updates on football game status (e.g., possession, ball location, current score) monitored by the electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20230325924
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing a user with a proprietary asset corresponding to a name, image or likeness (NIL) of a college athlete, can involve allowing a user through a user interface to choose to affiliate an NIL identifier(s) in a relational database with a user transaction, wherein the user transaction is associated through the relational database to the NIL identifier(s) so that a college athlete(s) respectively associated with the NIL identifier(s) can receive a financial benefit from the user transaction. As a result of the user transaction, the user can be permitted to receive an NIL benefit from the college athlete(s), the NIL benefit including, for example, a non-fungible token image of the college athlete(s), a digital image of the college athlete(s), a likeness of the college athlete(s), a communication from or on behalf of the college athlete(s), and so on.

  • Publication number: 20230130701
    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 communicate with the network for an automatic audio announcement of the digitized voice alert through the one or more remote electronic devices.

  • Patent number: 11496814
    Abstract: Method, system and computer program product for providing additional information to a handheld device (HHD) about a displayed point of interest in video programming displayed on a multimedia display. A image of the video programming captured by a HHD camera can be used at a remote server to identify the video programming by matching it with archived programming. If identified, additional information related to the video programming can be obtained/provided. A region within a particular frame of displayed video programming can be selected at the HHD to access additional information about a point of interest associated with the region. The additional information can be displayed on the HHD or a secondary display, in response to selecting the region to access the additional information from a remote server.
