Publication number: 20230350989Abstract: A system and method for scheduling tasks associated with controlling access to databases. The system and method relate to scheduling tasks for data requesting systems that satisfy particular conditions. For example, data requesting systems that satisfy the conditions may have associated tasks stored in a queue during a first processing phase. Data requesting systems that do not satisfy the conditions may have associated tasks inhibited from being stored in the queue during the first processing phase, but these tasks may be stored in the queue during a later second processing phase. Tasks stored in the queue during the first processing phase may be processed before tasks stored in the queue during the second processing phase. For example, the tasks may correspond to accessing a database for querying data representing access rights to a resource.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicant: Live Nation Entertainment, Inc.Inventors: Robert McEwen, Debbie Hsu, John Carnahan, Vasanth Kumar

Patent number: 11675882Abstract: A system and method for scheduling tasks associated with changing a personality of a ticketing interface. One or more processors generate interaction scores for each of the plurality of user devices based on receiving interactions between the ticketing engine and a plurality of user devices. The system further generate interaction patterns for each of the plurality of user devices that include a relation between the interaction scores generated for each of the plurality of user devices with the interactions from the plurality of user devices. The system further classify each of the plurality of user devices based on the generated interaction patterns to identify whether a user device from the plurality of user devices is a fraudulent or a non-fraudulent user device and modify interface of the ticketing engine based on the classification of each of the plurality of user devices.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2021Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Live Nation Entertainment, Inc.Inventors: Robert McEwen, Debbie Hsu, John Carnahan, Vasanth Kumar

Publication number: 20230055265Abstract: A method and system utilize unexpected combinations of cognitive exercises to provide routines performed simultaneously with aerobic exercise to address cognitive impairments. Cognitive exercises comprise specific steps in order to interact with a specific cognitive domain. All stimuli may be aural. Specific combinations of cognitive exercises are created to engage selected brain circuits and are correlated to specific cognitive impairments. The method may remediate selected cognitive impairments and strengthen cognitive abilities. The user responds to instructions for each exercise and performs each exercise in a specific order for a specific duration of time and through a specific number of sets. A processor performs a program comprising the routines and evaluates performance of a user. A program may be customized for an individual user. An individual user's data is processed to evaluate progress. Large libraries of data for multiple users may be processed to provide statistical databases.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2021Publication date: February 23, 2023Inventors: Sarah McEwen, Robert McEwen

Publication number: 20160078370Abstract: Before tickets for an event go onsale, users are allowed to register for the event. The registration requires completion of verification steps useful for discriminating between human and robot users. Due to the complexity of the first verification step, it can be estimated that registered users are more likely than other users to be human. Registered users are allowed to electronically submit requests for tickets for the event prior to the tickets going on sale. Unregistered users must wait to request tickets until a later time (e.g., when the tickets are onsale) and may—at that time—complete similar or simpler verification steps, further delaying receipt of their requests. Requests from registered users may further be preferentially served simply due to the registrations. Thus, tickets can be preferentially provided to users estimated to be more likely to be human.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2014Publication date: March 17, 2016Applicant: LIVE NATION ENTERTAINMENT, INC.Inventors: Robert McEwen, Debbie Hsu

Publication number: 20060067163Abstract: A device and method for measuring a swimming pool and manufacturing a liner therefor are provided. The device includes a transducer that can be placed in the pool and configured to transmit sonic energy toward the inner surfaces of the pool. The transducer can determine relative positions of a plurality of coordinate points defined by the surfaces according to reflections of the sonic energy that are received from the surfaces. Coordinate data, which is characteristic of the positions of the coordinate points on the multiple surfaces of the pool, is stored in a memory device. The coordinate data can be used to control a liner cutting device to cut liner material to sizes corresponding to the multiple inner surfaces of the pool.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2005Publication date: March 30, 2006Inventors: Robert McEwen, Jeffrey McEwen
