  • Patent number: 11593862
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for facilitating a sending of a gift from a first machine to a second machine may include a processor of a computer server reviewing a first list of one or more names of people maintained in a computer database. The processor may review context information related to the one or more names to determine if a moment exists for sending a gift from a first machine to a second machine. Content providers may also request one or more gifts to be identified when a second machine is proximate to a content provider who may fulfill a gift.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10885572
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for facilitating a sending of a gift from a first machine to a second machine may include a processor of a computer server reviewing a first list of one or more names of people maintained in a computer database. The processor may review context information related to the one or more names to determine if a moment exists for sending a gift from a first machine to a second machine. Each of the one or more names is associated with a respective second machine. The processor may automatically generate a second list of one or more names of people associated with a moment for receiving a gift. The processor of the computer server may receive from a first machine a selection of at least one of the names on the second list who have been identified as associated with a moment for receiving a gift.

  • Patent number: 10057713
    Abstract: A system for and a method of providing enhanced services by using machine-based wireless communications of portable computing devices (PCDs) are described. More specifically, a system for and a method of efficiently and effectively projecting, in a controlled fashion, a user's profile to a service provider's PCD in anticipation of an expected interaction between the user and the service provider. The user's profile may comprise content related to identification, current physical location, personal preferences, etc. The system and method may emphasize proactively controlled projection of private/personal information, proactively controlled use of PCD resources, and proactively controlled use of communication network resources.

  • Publication number: 20120111881
    Abstract: In one embodiment of the invention, a case for electronic devices is provided. The case has a shell and a rotatable handled rotatably coupled to the shell. The shell is adapted to partially surround an electronic device. The shell includes a first shell portion and a second shell portion adapted to couple to the first shell portion. The first shell portion has a display opening to allow a user to view the electronic device. The shell may include a camera opening to allow images to be captured by the electronic device. The rotatable handle can couple to and decouple from the second shell portion of the shell. The rotatable handle allows the shell to rotate about an axis of rotation. The rotatable handle includes an extendable strap assembly to receive a hand of a user.
