Abstract: The present subject matter provided is a “real-time” (versus batch) process that utilizes a financial or insurance institution's customer's personal computer to gather “up-to-the-minute” competitor product premium pricing information that can be used by the customer and the customer's financial or insurance institution for competitive product premium pricing comparison. One way to provide pricing information is to use an aggregation vendor to transmit and receive online pricing information from competitors. Another way to provide pricing information is to use the customer's computer to transmit data and to request a price quote. An applet or other type of software may be loaded onto a computer being used by the customer to facilitate the transmission and reception of pricing information. A central repository may be used to collect and store pricing information to provide online quotes as well as monitor for pricing changes of competitors.

Abstract: Persistent, electronically anchored currency notes (PEAC notes) may be generated by a transaction provider and maintained in a datastore.

Abstract: A system and method for use with a gaming system operating in a casino environment utilizes a plurality of player terminals networked to a game optimisation server. The game optimisation server provides or allows a player to access multiple games on each player terminal and stores in memory a record of the games played on each player terminal 1. A player may access a first terminal and request a map of the casino environment. The first terminal may be a first player terminal or other device connected to the network. The request is sent to the game optimisation server which sends data related to a physical arrangement of the player terminals, and to the games recently played on the player terminals in a local area, to the first terminal. The first terminal displays to the player a map showing the physical arrangement of the player terminals and a game played on each of the player terminals. The map may include an indication of which player terminals 1 are currently being played and which are not being played.

Abstract: Techniques for distributing online ads by targeting online ad requests using test data to predict performance. The techniques can target ad requests in automated online advertising systems in which ad requests are generated by an ad exchange server and bids are placed by marketer devices in real time. The techniques aggregate bid units and compare bid unit characteristics to select bid units to target in ways that address data sparsity, variance, and volume issues. Data sparsity issues are addressed by aggregating bid units to avoid using bid units having insufficient data. Data variance issues are addressed by computing stability metrics for bid units that enable discounting the effect of outliers. Data volume and processing efficiency issues are addressed by grouping similar bid units based on similar metrics (e.g., normalized ROI) and/or similar stability scores, and then ranking the bid units and selecting the top ranked bid units to target.
