  • Patent number: 11483614
    Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer readable medium that include accessing a frame buffer of a graphics processing unit (GPU), analyzing, in the frame buffer of the GPU, a frame representing a section of a stream of displayed data that is being displayed by an apparatus, identifying a reference patch that includes a unique identifier associated with an available area in which secondary digital content is insertable in the displayed data that is being displayed by the apparatus, decoding the encoded data of the unique identifier, retrieving the secondary digital content from the remote device based on the unique identifier, and overlaying the secondary digital content into the displayed data in accordance with the available area, the screen position, and the size identified by the unique identifier.

  • Patent number: 11481933
    Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer readable medium that include accessing a frame buffer of a graphics processing unit (GPU), analyzing, in the frame buffer of the GPU, a first frame representing a first section of a stream of displayed data that is being displayed by the apparatus, the first frame including secondary digital content, analyzing, in the frame buffer of the GPU, a second frame, the second frame including the secondary digital content, determining a change in a position of the secondary digital content from the first frame to the second frame based on a comparison between the first frame and the second frame of the displayed data, and overlaying the secondary digital content in the second frame of the displayed data based on the determined change in the position of the secondary digital content.

  • Patent number: 11475610
    Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer readable medium that access a frame buffer of a graphics processing unit (GPU), analyze, in the frame buffer, a frame representing displayed data, based on the analyzed frame, identify a reference patch that includes an instruction to retrieve content, generate an overlay including an augmentation layer which includes the content, superimpose the overlay onto the displayed data such that the content is viewable while a portion of the base layer is obscured, detect a user input, determine a location of the user input in the augmentation layer, associate the location in the augmentation layer with a target location in the base layer, and associate, within memory, the target location with an operation such that the user input in the augmentation layer activates an input in the base layer.

  • Patent number: 8266053
    Abstract: A method for providing a financial evaluation of at least one financial instrument or of an issuer supports the provision of a dynamic credit limit. A dynamic credit limit may be associated with a counterparty or a debt security of the counterparty, for example. The method includes obtaining counterparty credit quality data associated with a transaction of the financial instrument between a party and a counterparty. Debt market data is obtained where the debt market data is associated with or relevant to the transaction. A dynamic credit limit is determined for the counterparty or a financial instrument of the counterparty based on at least one of the inputted counterparty credit quality and the obtained debt market data. The dynamic credit limit may be defined in terms of a credit exposure versus time.
