  • Technologies for creating, altering, and presenting media content
    Patent number: 12277303
    Abstract: Different types of media experiences can be developed based on characteristics of the consumer. “Linear” experiences may require execution of a pre-built script, although the script could be dynamically modified by a media production platform. Linear experiences can include guided audio tours that are modified or updated based on the location of the consumer. “Enhanced” experiences include conventional media content that is supplemented with intelligent media content. For example, turn-by-turn directions could be supplemented with audio descriptions about the surrounding area. “Freeform” experiences, meanwhile, are those that can continually morph based on information gleaned from a consumer. For example, a radio station may modify what content is being presented based on the geographical metadata uploaded by a computing device associated with the consumer.

  • Personalized insoles for supporting a foot in an aligned load bearing position
    Patent number: 12274329
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for creating personalized insoles designed to provide physical comfort to the individual wearing shoes containing the personalized insoles. Three-dimensional (3D) foot scans are performed on the individual's feet to better understand the contours and geometry of each foot of the individual. The foot scans can be of each foot of the individual in varying positions (e.g., resting position with toes engaged with scanner top, toes-raised position with toes lifted from scanner top, metatarsal doming position, neutral calcaneal stance position, etc.). The 3D foot scans are used to generate personalized insole data that can be transmitted to a manufacturing device for manufacturing a personalized insole that is accurately designed to conform with the individual's foot and provide support in aligned load bearing positions.

  • Player controlled culling of video fragments of stitched video draw games
    Patent number: 12277833
    Abstract: A method and device are disclosed for pseudorandomly generating a streamed video presentation of a draw game from a plurality of previously recorded video fragments. After all wagering is concluded, a random number generator determines the outcome of the drawing. The method and device enable the automated generation of a lifelike video draw game by culling a set of video fragments from a larger plurality, with the culling process at least partially determined by a feedback loop of player preferences. After the culling process is completed, a random number generator pseudorandomly selects video fragments from the culled set creating various scenes comprising the streamed video presentation.
