Abstract: Processor trace systems and methods are described. For example, one embodiment comprises executing instrumented code by a compiler, the instrumented code including at least one call to un-instrumented code. The compiler can determine the at least one call to un-instrumented code is a next call to be executed. A resume tracing instruction can be inserted into the instrumented code prior to the at least one call to the un-instrumented code. The resume tracing instruction can be executed to selectively add processor tracing to the at least one call to the un-instrumented code, and the at least one call to the un-instrumented code can be executed.

Abstract: Within the field of advertising, multi-touch attribution (MTA) is the process of assigning credit at a unique identifier level to marketing activities for their contribution towards driving a desired marketing result. This invention discloses a data-driven attribution solution and optimization process for improving marketing return on investment by enabling greater speed and agility in responding to continually changing media performance. Specifically, this invention details a survival analysis based approach to attribution using parametric accelerated failure time (AFT) modeling which accommodates both the right-censored discrete time events and is well suited for media data.

Abstract: Within the field of advertising, a data-driven solution is proposed that enables attribution to use a two-stage model, to account for (1) the timing of a purchase occasion, and (2) a prediction of the quantity purchased. This allows for an accurate forecast of quantity purchased, which is meaningful to media teams and advertisers. Attribution is the process of assigning credit to marketing activities for their contribution towards driving a desired marketing result.

Abstract: A method for reward-based surrogate shopping may include receiving remote orders from remote shoppers, each including order parameters defining items for purchase and a desired date or time of day of fulfillment of the remote order, receiving assignment requests from surrogate shoppers, each including request parameters identifying a brick-and-mortar store and a desired date or time of day for fulfilling by the surrogate shopper of one or more remote orders, comparing the received remote orders with the received assignment requests and pairing together ones in which at least one order parameter matches at least one request parameter, and for each matched pair, receiving a completion indicator identifying fulfillment by the surrogate shopper of the remote order paired therewith, and providing a reward to the surrogate shopper for completion of surrogate shopping at the identified store for the paired remote order.

Abstract: Within the field of advertising, attribution is the process of assigning credit to marketing activities for their contribution towards driving a desired marketing result. This invention discloses a data-driven solution that enables attribution to take into account the effect of price variation, using a number of approaches. Specifically, accounting for price variation enables a more accurate assessment of the impact of paid media.

Abstract: The present invention provides a secure hardware wallet device, a wallet assembly, system and method for transacting a plurality of cryptocurrencies, the hardware wallet device including means to enable a user to input a secret phrase, a processor adapted to calculate at least one private key to enable a transaction to be performed wirelessly over a communications network to or from the hardware wallet device, wherein neither of the secret phrase nor the at least one private key is stored on the hardware wallet device.
