  • Publication number: 20230052131
    Abstract: A distributed data processing system includes a processing center or algorithm persistence system (“APS”), a series of remote caching nodes in electronic communication with the APS, and a series of remote computing or processing nodes in electronic communication with the remote caching nodes. Each remote caching node is mounted to a top surface of a mobile vehicle and includes a data transmitter/receiver (transceiver), computer hardware and software to operate the caching node, memory to transmit or transfer data from the APS to the remote processing nodes. The remote processing nodes include a series of electricity generating solar panels, a series of electronic data processing chips, electronic data memory, an electronic date transmitter/receiver (transceiver), and a motion sensor. The series of electronic data processing chips are preferably a tensor processing unit (TPU), which is an AI accelerator application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) developed specifically for neural network machine learning.

  • Publication number: 20230045801
    Abstract: A camera system includes an administrator and a series of camera nodes which includes an audio microphone for also including sound in the video data file. The administrator includes a computer server, a wireless transmitter/receiver (transceiver), and machine learning (ML) chips. Each camera node includes a video capturing device or camera, a wireless transmitter/receiver (transceiver), a plurality of ML chips, and a GPS sensor. The ML chips are capable of receiving data in the form of a video file and processing the data to determine if the data includes “actionable” data. The ML chip makes certain inferences from the captured video data. The camera nodes are wirelessly linkable to each other. The communication between the several camera nodes form a “mesh network” wherein the several camera nodes may transmit data to each other, thus propagating the camera nodes with the mesh network with common data, rules, or inferences.

  • Publication number: 20210073776
    Abstract: A point of sale intermediation system is adapted to be integrated with a point of sales terminal, scanning device, receipt printer and/or additional peripheral devices. The system includes a first intermediary device that receives the electronic barcode scanned text data output from the scanning device and relays it to a data manager that utilizes the data represented in the electronic barcode scanned text data output and relays an electronic modified barcode scanned text data output back to the first intermediary device, which then relays the electronic modified barcode scanned text data output to the terminal. A second intermediary device that device receives an electronic printer data output from the terminal and relays it to the third party data manager. The third-party data manager utilizes the data represented in the electronic printer data output and relays an electronic modified printer data output back to the second intermediary device, which then relays it to the printer.

  • Publication number: 20200043081
    Abstract: There is shown a system for ordering and receiving digital goods through a text messaging mobile computer device having a conventional scanning device. The computer device includes conventional text messaging software and a display screen. The computer device also includes conventional wireless transmission capabilities which are capable of wireless communication. The system also have a device or terminal with a display screen or panel which displays a product catalog of goods for purchase and digital delivery of claim information. The device requests a unique per transaction code provided by the shopping system server for each individual consumer session.

  • Publication number: 20190143198
    Abstract: A lottery game system includes a lottery authority or game administrator which provides a central system for game management play. The game includes the base attributes of a conventional lottery game and ticket. The lottery game includes numbers or balls from a first pool, which may include a bonus number. The lottery game also includes numbers or balls from a second pool which are associated with one or more commercial merchants. The matching of a player's selected number to the randomly selected second pool enables the player to claim a merchant related award or prize which is separate from the lottery award or prize.

  • Publication number: 20190066439
    Abstract: An electronic ticket (30) is disclosed which includes a date of purchase (31), a ticket identifier (32), wager attributes (33), a draw identifier (35), a draw date (36), draw numbers (37), an authority authorized retail identifier (38), and an authority authorized retail terminal identifier (39). The electronic ticket (30) may be a displayed version of an image file, or other electronic file type, which is stored and displayed upon a mobile computer device (50). The image file creates a matrix of pixels which together form a picture including text which form the electronic ticket. The image pixels are manipulated by steganographic techniques, to encode various attributes, including the manipulation of the least significant digits of the numeric value of the pixel color.

  • Publication number: 20180060960
    Abstract: A system and method of exchanging a first bearer instrument in the form of a first digital electronic file for a second bearer instrument in the form of a second digital electronic file. The system includes the use of a personal electronic device (12) that communicates with an exchange authority (14). The exchange authority, in turn, communicates with a validation authority (16) to verify or validate the first bearer instrument and an issuing authority (18) which issues a second bearer instrument.
