Abstract: In an aspect of the present disclosure, a method for analyzing the speech delivery of a user is disclosed including presenting to the user a plurality of speech delivery analysis criteria, receiving from the user a selection of at least one of the speech delivery analysis criterion, receiving, from at least one sensing device, speech data captured by the at least one sensing device during the delivery of a speech by the user, transmitting the speech data and the selected at least one speech delivery analysis criterion to an analysis engine for analysis based on the selected at least one speech delivery analysis criteria, receiving, from the analysis engine an analysis report for the speech data, the analysis report comprising an analysis of the speech data performed by the analysis engine based on the selected at least one criterion, and presenting to the user the analysis report.

Abstract: A crowd determined message response system may be provided. A message sent from a sender to at least one recipient over a communication network may be received. The message may be presented on a user interface device. A selection of a designated recipient for responding to the message may be received. A priority of the message sent to the designated recipient may be adjusted. The priority of the message sent to an unselected recipient of the message not selected as the designated recipient may be adjusted. The priority may be adjusted differently for the designated recipient and the unselected recipient. Based on the adjusting of the priority of the message sent to the unselected recipient, the order of importance in which the unselected recipient's messages are presented may be rearranged.

Abstract: A method for dynamically customizing a digital publication includes sequentially presenting content of a digital publication by one or more of visually displaying the content on an electronic display and audibly narrating the content. The method includes detecting a customization tag in the content. The customization tag indicates a portion of the content customizable according to a geographic location. The customization tag is associated with customization content. The customization content is associated with the geographic location. The method includes accessing the customization content associated with the customization tag. The customization content includes one or more of text content, visual content, and audible content. The method includes presenting the customization content at a point in the content indicated by the customization tag.

Abstract: A method for managing inventory includes detecting a shopping list on a communication device, transmitting the detected list to a server associated with the shopping store, transmitting images to the server, checking whether at least one item of the shopping list is present in an aisle based on a location of a consumer, scanning the images to identify images including the at least one item, and dynamically sorting the items in the shopping list based on the checking performed. The method also includes displaying the sorted list along with image links on the communication device, where at least one item in the sorted list is highlighted or placed on top based on the check performed, and where each of the image links includes an image with at least one augmented item. The method further includes determining items that need to be restocked in the shopping store.

Abstract: A system for intelligently locating one or more items in a shopping store with multiple items arranged in multiple aisles includes a first communication device having a shopping assistance application configured to allow a shopper to input a shopping list comprising one or more items. Also included are multiple second communication devices located in and associated with the plurality of aisles, with each second device being configured to detect the shopping list on the first device when the shopper is within a range of distance of the second device and transmit the detected list. The system may also include a backend server configured to receive detected list and sort the detected list dynamically based on an identified at least one item and the shopper. The backend server can also display the sorted list on the first device. The at least one item may be highlighted in the sorted list.

Abstract: A system includes a first device for allowing a consumer to input a shopping list, and multiple second devices associated with a plurality of aisles in a shopping store. Each second device is configured to detect the shopping list on the first device when the consumer is within a predefined range of distance from the second device, and to transmit the detected list. The system also includes one or more image-capturing device for transmitting captured images; and a server configured to do the following: (i) receive the list from the second device, (ii) receive the images from the image-capturing device, (iii) check whether an item on the list is present in an aisle based upon an identified location of the consumer, (iv) scan the images to identify one or more images including the at least one item, (v) dynamically sort the list, (vi) display the sorted list and links on the first device, and (vi) determine whether one or more items must be restocked on shelves.

Abstract: A WiFi sales reward system provides WiFi Internet access to customers in a store on a complementary basis along with purchases from the store. The store gives an Internet access code to the customer along with a qualifying purchase. The customer can then access the Internet through the store's WiFi hotspot by entering the access code when prompted for it. The access code grants a predetermined amount of Internet access time, based on the amount of the purchase or other terms specified by the store.
