Abstract: Methods, apparatus and systems for verifying coin ownership are disclosed. In an embodiment, a coin service provider identifies an online session initiated by a wallet application and a next coin to verify, receives information associated with the next coin from a wallet application, determines that ownership of the next coin was transferred out of the wallet application since the last time coins in the wallet application were verified and that ownership of the next coin has not been updated in a coin data store. The coin service provider then transmits a prompt to the user device for the user to confirm that a transaction involving the next coin completed successfully, receives a confirmation message from the user device, confirms that the next coin was received by a recipient, and next updates ownership information of the next coin in the coin data store.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatus, computer program code and means are provided to operate a first device to receive a coin having value from a second device while offline.

Abstract: Many image processing problems are concerned with determining measurements of an anomalous area in an image. Most automated systems suffer from low specificity, which may reduce their acceptance. An example embodiment of the present invention relates to a method and corresponding apparatus for providing measurement data of a region of interest in an image in a graphical user interface environment. The example embodiment locates a pair of edges in multiple dimensions of a region of interest selected by a user, calculates a center position between respective edges, and iterates until a convergence or divergence is determined. Linear calculation may be employed for rapid results, allowing an advance in speed of image processing over current techniques. In a case of convergence, the measurement data is reported. In a case of divergence, a failure state is reported. By reporting divergence, the example embodiment achieves high specificity, thereby reducing the number of false positive reports.
