  • Publication number: 20230282050
    Abstract: When attending an event at a venue, the attendee typically presents ticket information that is scanned by a venue scanner. The process associated with scanning can be dispensed with, which can improve attendee experiences, reduce costs associated with managing a venue, as well as other advantages. For example, instead of scanning a ticket at a point of ingress to the venue, a device of the user can self-scan the ticket, and then present indicia that indicates this process has occurred. The indicia can be presented to a guest services representative, who can verify that a valid ticket was redeemed by merely observing the indicia and without scanning.

  • Patent number: 11521449
    Abstract: When attending an event at a venue, the attendee typically presents ticket information that is scanned by a venue scanner. In conventional systems, once validated, the scanner prints a paper stub that typically includes seat location data. Production of this paper stub can be dispensed with, and the associated data conveyed by the paper stub as well as additional information not contemplated or possible with paper stubs can be conveyed by an electronic stub or e-stub that resides on a device of the attendee, generally the same device employed to present the ticket information.

  • Publication number: 20180253989
    Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for a competency identification and analysis system and method. An individual's actions, interactions, and other data can be analysed to determine one or more competencies associated with the individual. The competencies can be identified using artificial intelligence, deep learning, and other techniques in order to identify skills, resources, strengths, and other advantages that an individual possesses. The system can then match the competencies to one or more tasks, jobs, mentors, and make recommendations related to these competencies. In an embodiment, the system can retrieve the contextual data from communications and interactions with other individuals, from education markers, job performance reviews, wearable devices. The system can also provide feedback to the individual, to have the user assess the competencies and rank the competencies or assessors who have provided the assessments.
