Abstract: The system provides a method and process to automatically create a custom gamified social net platform using different modular features. The social networking platform created will be able to run natively on multiple operating systems. Any changes will be reflected in every version of the social networking platform, allowing for easy updates on multiple types of devices. Owners will also be able to create custom badges to engage their users that are awarded after actions are performed as part of a Value Reinforcement System. Owners may also apply specific “smart tags”, some of which will be self-applied by users when they register for the platform, while others will be generated by the user's actions and interests as the user uses the platform. An owner may use these smart tags to determine the type of content users can view or to contact specific users.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are described herein related to a secured stylus. A secure connection is established between a digitizer processor in a computing device and a remote server providing virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). A digitizer interposer implemented in the computing device, the server, and/or between them receives raw or encrypted digitizer input that bypasses the operating system (OS) and processor of the computing device. Digitizer signal processing, normally performed by the OS, is performed on one or more servers. An edge server provides haptic feedback to a stylus and/or generates display of temporary digital ink as created while a cloud server completes digital ink processing and generates video for display by the computing device. A secure connection between a graphics processing unit (GPU) and the server protects secure connection video by encryption bypassing the OS and processor of the user computing device.
