Abstract: A method for tracking patronage of a customer in at least one casino property is described. The method comprises monitoring a wireless handset that determines the location of the customer. The method then proceeds to generate a user profile that comprises user preferences and monitored betting activity associated with the customer and accumulated points stored in a customer account according to a monetary value of the monitored betting activity. Complementary goods or services are determined based on the accumulated points associated with the customer account. A message is sent to the wireless handset associated with the complementary goods or services that is consistent with the user preferences.

Abstract: A location aware user interface on a wireless handset is described.

Abstract: A system and method for map based exploration is described. The system includes a dynamic graphical user interface (GUI) that includes a list of targeted content elements for each different group profile, in which a first dynamic GUI corresponding to a first group profile that is served to a first user is different from a second dynamic GUI corresponding to a second group profile is served to a second user at approximately the same location, when the group profiles are different. A map is displayed on the touch screen display and the map displays a plurality of geofences. A geofence selection received by the touch screen display presents the dynamic graphical user interface that includes the list of targeted content elements for the particular group profile associated with the particular wireless device at the geofence selection.

Abstract: Embodiments link external widgets to internal data displayed being within a dashboard as part of a story. An interface allows selecting external widget(s) based upon matching with a parameter of internal data being accessed. A user may define in an interactive manner, the behavior of the external widget in terms of characteristics such as data rendering, configurable fields, update behavior, and/or access to external sources (e.g., authentication). In an example, internal geographic dashboard data may serve as a basis for accessing external data such as social media data via a custom widget searching relevant messages combined with keywords (e.g., referring to geography). An external widget may be linked to other (internal/external) widgets through a linking table, such that changed/updated data is propagated for display within the dashboard. External widgets may thus be linked to data currently being viewed in terms of chart selection, data highlighting and data filtering mechanisms.

Abstract: A networked gaming system and method is described. The networked gaming system and method include a user identification, a transactional component, a networked gaming module, and at least one network access device. The user identification is received by the network access device. The received user identification is compared with registration data in a registration database. A player is provided access to a game when the received user identification matches the registered player data. The transactional component charges the registered player at least one credit for a game outcome. The networked gaming module performs the game operations and generates at least one random game output by random generation at the networked gaming module. The networked gaming module then associates the at least one random game output with an image ID. The networked gaming module then communicates the one or more images corresponding to the image ID to the network access device.

Abstract: A network based indoor positioning and geofencing system and method is described. Beacons are disposed within a physical premises and each beacon transmits a signal containing identifying information. A networked indoor positioning module receives measured reference points that include a measured beacon identifier and a measured signal strength. The networked indoor positioning module uses the measured reference points to generate calculated signal strength values for at least one detected beacon. At least one geofence is associated with the physical premises and the geofence includes some of the calculated signal strength values. A wireless device receives a beacon identifier and a beacon signal strength, when the wireless device is in or near a geofence associated the physical premises.

Abstract: A system for associating content with geographic boundaries, determining the location of a wireless handset relative to the boundaries, and delivering targeted content to the wireless handset is described. The application is configured to determine the location of the wireless handset based on the strength of signals received from the network components by the wireless handset. The application then filters content items by boundary and delivers at least one content item to the wireless handset when the wireless handset is located within the boundary.

Abstract: A system for adjusting a relevance weight value for a content item is described. The system comprises a content delivery module configured to deliver a plurality of content items to a device via a network. The content items are displayed on the device. A content storage module is configured to store a relevance weight value and a location in association with each content item. A location detection module is configured to determine a location of the wireless device. A user provides a feedback input for a content item. The relevance weight value associated with the location and the content item is adjusted according to the feedback input provided.

Abstract: A content management system for associating content with user attributes and delivering targeted content to a wireless handset is described. The content management system comprises a database, a wireless handset, and a terminal. The database is configured to store a plurality of user profiles, a plurality of content items, and a plurality of content connections that connect content items to user profile data. The wireless handset presents a first interface that enables the wireless handset user to create and edit a user profile comprising one or more user attributes. The user profile is stored in the database. The terminal presents a second interface to a content administrator. The second interface enables the content administrator to create and edit content items. The content items are stored in the database. Content connections associate one or more user attributes with a content item.

Abstract: An interactive display system is described. The interactive display system comprises a display, a server and a wireless handset communicatively coupled to a wide area network.
