  • Publication number: 20230421871
    Abstract: A cross-partition camera includes a magnetic camera and a magnetic backer ring coupled across a partition. The cross-partition camera provides additional functionality to be selectively coupled across a stand, a transparent glass pane, or other partition media. The cross-partition camera also includes magnet holders laterally offset from a frustoconical ring reducing the size. The magnet backer ring is optionally buoyant in water to minimize loss. A scrubber pad on a partition-facing side of the magnetic backer ring cleans the interior surface of the partition. An optional felt pad on the partition-facing side of the magnetic camera facilitates smooth movement of the device on the partition. An light filter is provided to improve video and image quality. The cross-partition camera also includes a USB port for optional internal power supply, image connectivity, a speaker, microphone, and onboard secure data storage through an SD access port for storing images.

This reward may be in numerous possible forms such as a discount on the present purchase, a rebate after completion of the present purchase, a free promotional item, a coupon for a discount on future purchases, etc. The host may provide more complex requirements for the financial reward. For example, the host may require the customer to make a minimum number of purchases or to purchase a minimum amount before receiving the financial reward. Similarly, the host may require the customer to refer another user to the host or to otherwise participate in the host before providing the financial reward.
