Abstract: The present invention facilitates secure display and sale of copyright protected images, by showing alternate reciprocal images, with complementary obstructed/degraded and clearly visible areas. System components include server machines and/or computer terminals with a screen or other display mechanism. The system may be connected through a communications network or it may be self-contained on a stand-alone, specialized computer system. System components further include non-transitory computer-readable media containing a database of images. The system creates and displays alternate reciprocal images showing blockades covering faces, patterns or objects of interest in a first image and showing the same faces, patterns or objects shown as clearly visible with all surroundings having degraded resolution or blur. Users are provided an opportunity to purchase the image and a clean copy of the image is delivered to the user upon completion of a purchase transaction.

Abstract: Exemplified system and method facilitates update/upgrade and validation of controls systems in an uninterrupted manner. An update/upgrade agent operates with a multiple-processor or multi-processor core system to simultaneously and concurrently implement two real-time embedded controllers in which a first controller executes a current firmware or control application installed at the site while a second controller executes an updated controller firmware or control application.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a system, implemented over a communications network, enabling system users (“Users”) to view and obtain photographs and videos (“Images”) of Users, to direct the taking of Images by such Users and to enable Users to procure Images, including digital Images as well as physical prints and products, and to provide such Images to Users. The system allows Users to easily view and procure Images taken by cameras operated by venues, independent Photographers or other people in the same location. The system allows Users to easily procure all the Images taken by others which contain the faces of persons indicated as “of interest” (e.g., themselves, family, friends, colleagues, celebrities, etc.). The present invention is directed to Image capture and delivery and embodies a core set of system mechanisms and functionalities which are employed across several different use case scenarios, specified in greater detail herein.

Abstract: A method and system for matching ready-to-act consumers and pre-qualified service providers are described. Consumer-to-Business commerce transactions can be facilitated by pre-qualifying both consumers and service providers and matching a consumer who selects a single, pre-qualified service provider. For example, according to one exemplary embodiment of the invention, using information provided by the consumer, such as the consumer's address, type of work requested, etc., a matching system can determine whether a single, pre-qualified home service provider chosen by the consumer matches or meets the service need of the consumer and other criteria of the matching system. If the matching system determines that the consumer and the consumer's single, selected home service provider are not a match, then the consumer may permit his or her service request to be matched with the consumer lead criteria of one or more un-known or not previously selected service providers relative to the consumer.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a computerized system for forming a network of aftermarket sellers and buyers of sporting tickets which allows for the convenient and safe resale of such tickets and the generation of donations to the respective venues foundations and designated charities via a portion of the resale proceeds through at least one central processing unit, storage means containing the identification of buyers and sellers, means for buyers to query what tickets are available for sale, means for sellers to list tickets for sale and set parameters for such sale, and means for such system to monitor activity of buyers to ensure the buyers are permitted buyers and that tickets are being sold on a distributed basis for the end use by the prospective buyers.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a computerized system for forming a network of member hunters and fishermen and member landowners for processing request and/or reservation of such landowner's property for use in hunting and/or fishing activities by member hunters and fishermen through at least one central processing unit, storage means containing the identification of network members, means for network member hunters and fishermen to request reservation of network member landowner property, means for network member hunter and fisherman to identify property to be reserved and/or ability to review attributes and information about potential properties, and means for network member property owners to identify attributes of requesting network member hunter and fishermen in order to base an acceptance or rejection of such reservation request.
