Abstract: A system and methods for tracking and fulfillment of casino gift items. For instance, the system animates a list of gifts that are available to the player account via a casino gifting promotion. One or more of the gift items can be pre-selected before being earned during one or more subsequent gaming sessions. The pre-selected gift items appear on a user interface that combines content for the gifting promotion with content for a wagering game played during the one or more gaming session. A progress meter, for each gift item, shows an incremental increase in rewards points until enough rewards points accrue to redeem the gift item. The system automatically interfaces with a store front that provides the gift item. The system transacts fulfillment of the gift redemption and initiates (via the store front) the shipment of the gift item directly to a mailing address associated with the player account.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a first electronic device, during a playlist mode, displays a plurality of representations of content items available on the first electronic device. While in the playlist mode, the first electronic device optionally receives a first input, via one or more input devices, selecting a respective representation of a respective content item from the plurality of representations of content items. In response to receiving the first input, in accordance with a determination that the respective content item was playing on the first electronic device when the first input was received, the first electronic device optionally transitions to a now playing mode. In accordance with a determination that the respective content item was not playing on the first electronic device when the first input was received, the first electronic device optionally plays the respective content item on the first electronic device while remaining in the playlist mode.

Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for providing enhanced user interfaces and functionalities for internet radio applications are presented. In some embodiments, a computer system may provide a user interface that includes one or more regions configured to control playback of an internet radio station. The computer system then may determine, based on music purchase history associated with a user account, whether a selected song associated with the internet radio station has been previously purchased. In response to determining that the selected song has not been previously purchased, the computer system may display a user-selectable control that enables the selected song to be purchased. On the other hand, in response to determining that the selected song has been previously purchased, the computer system may display a user-selectable control that enables the selected song to be downloaded.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus for image-based browsing through a plurality of digital media assets assisted by media cues are disclosed. The media cues can be provided by playback of short audio segments, referred to as snippets, of the digital media assets being browsed. The digital media assets can be grouped into collections of digital media assets. In one embodiment, as a user browses through digital media assets using visual representations of the collections of digital media assets, media cues can be provided.

Abstract: User interfaces provide options for customizing a streaming media application to incorporate a personalized stations list defined by a user. For example, a user can create stations based on categories (e.g., genres or other characteristics), specific artists, and/or specific tracks. The user can select categories, artists, or tracks to be used for defining a station via a number of options, such as by searching or browsing a radio service's library of tracks; by selecting a currently playing or previously played track; and/or by selecting a track from a user's personal media library. Stations that a user has defined can be further customized based on user feedback, and stations on the user's personal stations list can be edited, deleted, and/or rearranged as the user sees fit.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and systems for facilitating presentation of media asset collections with reference to larger media libraries re disclosed. In one embodiment, digital media assets that are in a media asset collection can be visually distinguished from those digital media assets available from a remote media repository that are related to but not within the media asset collection.

Abstract: Novel techniques and tools for authoring multimedia compositions are presented. The novel techniques and tools allow an author of a multimedia composition to create a multimedia composition by dragging assets from a first window containing a project's unused assets and placing the assets into a structural relationship in a second window. The author may also remove assets from the structural relationship in the second window and return the assets to the first window of unused assets. The novel techniques and tools allow an author of a multimedia composition to better keep track of the assets to be used in the multimedia composition.

Abstract: A biological modeling system and method for enhanced computer-aided analysis of biological response data provides information synthesized from multiple sources. An executable model of a biological system is developed from information and structures based on multiple sources. In a preferred embodiment, biological data sets are selected by a user from a first active viewer window on a user computer display. A model is created and then run using integrated pharmacokinetic software. The output is next analyzed using integrated analysis tools. Once analyzed, the model is balanced to ensure that it matches the information and structures. Once the model is created, run, and balanced, it can be used to draw attention to important relations through integrated reporting functions. This program could be run with such programs as NONMEM®.
