The system preferably includes a music video archive, including songs having associated regular music videos in the form of single audiovisual assets including visual content; a song archive, comprising songs in the form of single audiovisual assets which do not include any visual content, i.e. that do not have associated regular music videos; an image archive, including images having metadata that associate the images with artists of songs featured in the song archive; and at least one processing device, arranged to, when a song from the song archive is selected to be played on the music video streaming service, automatically and in real-time create a music video for the song, in the form of a video slide-show, using images from the image archive.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for implementing predictive change in acuity. A computing environment may be employed to store behavioral data received from a plurality of monitoring devices associated with individuals. The computing environment may generate training data using the behavioral data, train a predictive algorithm using the training data, and execute at least one predictive data model as trained using subsequent behavioral data as received from the plurality of monitoring devices to predict at least one of a change in behavior of one of the individuals; an incident associated with the one of the individuals; and a change in biometric statistics of the one of the individuals.

Abstract: A media playback system is configured to automatically establish a connection, via a wireless network, to an internet-based media platform, delivering copyright-protected media assets and establishing access to some or all of those assets. No prior user configuration, set-up, sign-up or other user identification for that media delivery platform is needed because the system automatically and uniquely identifying itself to the media delivery platform to enable that platform, or an access control component associated with the platform, to determine if the system is licensed to receive streaming media, irrespective of the user of the system. The system can include a portable remote control device that enables a user to select copyright-protected media, such as streaming media, from the media delivery platform. The remote control is used to control a user interface displayed on a TV that has been re-purposed to serve as the streaming media output.

Abstract: A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed on one or more computers cause the one or more computers to perform operations of providing a single client application including a plurality of communication types, the communication types comprising at least all of voice call, text messaging, and instant messaging and providing via the application a single history screen showing all recent communications of a client using the application including all communication types employed.

Abstract: A universal communication system including a processor configured to execute a client application is described and includes first logic configured to provide a client interface for accessing a plurality of communication and media types from the command window, and second logic configured to integrate a plurality of contact information from the plurality of media and communication types into a single contact list, where the single contact list being accessible from the client interface. The system further includes third logic configured to receive executable instructions from a multi-protocol application program interface to alter the plurality of communication and media types and the plurality of contact information received therefrom.

Abstract: An RFID bracelet, wristband or other ticketing medium having an embedded RFID chip, is provided by an issuing organization such as a sports franchise and is utilized by a customer, such as a season ticket holder, for example. The bracelet tracks the customer's consumer behavior and provides incentives to use the bracelet, such as individualized targeted discounts on merchandise and concessions at an event. Customer information gathered is in real time and can be useful in marketing and promoting efforts in the current season. This allows the issuing organization to promote/market to a specific game or to a specific season ticket holder. Middleware mediates transactions between the RFID chip and the venue or a vendor, as well as other transactions.
