Abstract: A system for embedding and displaying a quote link within a portion of text displayed on a client connected to a network includes a server with at least a processor, a database module, and a non-volatile storage system. A purchase request module requests a purchase quote from an exchange via the server over the network when a user of the client activates the quote link on the client. An offer display module displays the purchase quote and a purchase link on a purchase window when the purchase quote is received from the exchange. A transaction handling module makes the purchase on behalf of the user if the user clicks the purchase link displayed on the purchase window. The server utilizes pre-completed user information, including the user's wallet address, stored in the database module to affect the purchase on the user's behalf.

Abstract: A messaging augmentation system comprises a message input module that receives a text, audio or video message from a user. A parsing module parses the message into at least one message fragment, a matching module compares each of the message fragments with a database of stored clips to identify matching clips, and a delivery module delivers the matching clips to the user to augment the message being sent to a recipient. Each stored clip includes an audio portion, and the clip database further includes, for each clip, caption data that includes text captions of the audio message, and corresponding file location data. Preferably the system is distributed over a network, such that the message input module is resident on a client device of the user, and the matching module is resident on a server.

Abstract: A system including: a content file acquisition module executing on and enabling a computer processor to: receive, from a first personal electronic device, a content file and a unique identifier, where the unique identifier uniquely identifies a geographic location of a physical object; generate a virtual property that corresponds with the unique identifier; associate the content file with the virtual property based on the unique identifier; receive, from a second client portable electronic device, a request for content files associated with the virtual property; receive, from a location services module of the second personal electronic device, geographic location information of the second personal electronic device; determine that the second client portable electronic device is within a predetermined distance from the physical object based on the geographic location information; and provide, upon the determination, the content file associated with the virtual property to the second client portable electronic

Abstract: A method for facilitating real-world interaction includes receiving information regarding geographical positions of a plurality of client devices, determining that a subset of the plurality of client devices are within a given distance of each other, matching a face detected in an image captured by one of the plurality of client devices to facial data stored in a user database, and providing, to the one of the plurality of client devices, information regarding a user associated with the facial data.

Abstract: A content enablement system enables or disables playback or viewing of a content file based on the proximity of a portable electronic device (PED) of a user with an object. The content file is generated and associated with the object only when the PED is within a predetermined distance of the object. The system thereafter only enables playback of the content file if the PED is within the predetermined distance of the object. The system includes location services, content playback, and content capturing modules, all of which may be executed on the PED or a server communicating with the PED through a network. The content files associated with the object may be grouped into a virtual property, the moderating rights of which may be bought and sold. Users are designated as STANDARD or VIP users, with standard users able to subscribe to content files generated by VIP users.

Abstract: A virtual property system for collecting content files associated with a physical object having a unique identifier includes a server that is connected to a network. The server has at least a first non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and is adapted to define a virtual property associated with the physical object. The server includes a content acquisition module that captures a plurality of the content files, a moderating module that provides moderating access rights of the content files; a payment module that collects payment from the moderator, a display module adapted to display a status of each virtual property, and a content playback module for enabling presentation of any of the content files associated with the virtual property on a portable electronic device of a user who is within a predetermined distance of the physical object.

Abstract: Facial recognition is used to associate, organize, identify, select, execute, and transfer payment, data files, and personal information to and from a user's profile in the cloud through a C2C and B2C network. The information—financial, professional, and personal—is securely delivered to a POS system, to a credit-card company/acquirer, to a cloud database, to a checkout tablet, and/or to a consumer-owned and operated smartphone device or tablet.
