Abstract: A computerized system for providing article information to a customer, said system comprising an optical image acquisition device for acquiring an optical image of an area of interest (AOI) in which articles are display to a customer, a processor module operably in communication with the optical image acquisition device and for receiving an image input signal therefrom; and an output device in communication with the processor for providing an output signal to a customer: wherein upon the processor detecting the article being removed from the area of interest (AOI), the processor sends an output signal having article data associated with said article to said output device, and said output device provides an output to the customer of said article data.

Abstract: A computerized system (100, 200) for illuminating an article (280, 307, 308) on an anatomic site (305, 306) of a subject (270) includes: an optical image acquisition device (130, 230) for acquiring an optical image of a subject (270); a processor module (110, 210) operably in communication with the optical image acquisition device (130, 230) for receiving an image input signal (135) therefrom; and one or more light sources (150, 252, 254) operably in communication with the processor module (110, 210) for illuminating an anatomical site (305, 306) of the subject (270). One or more light sources (150, 252, 254) are controllably moveable by the processor module (110, 210), which sends a control signal (155) in conjunction with the image input signal (135) to one or more light sources (150, 252, 254), so as maintains illumination on the anatomical site (305, 306) of the subject (270) irrespective of movement of the subject (270).

Abstract: A process operable uses a computerized system for displaying an article from a set of wearable articles or accessories. The article is displayed based upon a correlation between data indicative of features of mental impression of an article and the displayed article, and the computerized system includes a touch sensitive input device, a process module and a visual display module operably interconnected together via a communication link. The process includes the steps of (1) entering via a touch sensitive input device a first visual representation indicative of at least a portion of a mental impression of an article, wherein the first visual representation is a two-dimensional representation in a first predetermined viewing plane; (ii) in a processor module, comparing during step (i) data derived from input of the first visual representation and other data sets; and (iii) displaying on a visual display module a visual representation of at least a first article corresponding to the other data sets.

Abstract: A method for executing a data processing task for an electronic transaction includes receiving an electronic transaction data set including parameters identifying a quantity of an electronic resource consumed from a purchaser resource pool by the data processing task; upon receiving response signals indicative of instructions to defer execution of at least a portion of the data processing task thereby deferring a corresponding consumption of at least a portion of the quantity of the electronic resource from the purchaser resource pool, generating a second data processing task for releasing at least the portion of the electronic resource to the purchaser resource pool; and generating deferred child data processing tasks for executing at least the portion of the data processing task at one or more future times which when executed, consume at least the portion of the quantity of the electronic resource from the purchaser resource pool.
