Disclosed are various embodiments for associating and synchronizing extrinsic data with video content at particular points of time in the video content. In one embodiment, an application identifies a video content feature currently being presented via a display device. A current time in the video content feature are determined. Performers potentially depicted in the video content feature at the current time are determined. The application then generates a user interface configured to receive a user selection of a particular performer from the performers, where the user selection indicates that the particular performer is depicted in the video content feature at the current time.

The present invention relates to the operation of an access system in line with requirements. If a normal operating mode is sensed, the following is carried out: measuring preconfigurable sensor data in order to determine a requirement parameter set of the access system, at least one dynamized setpoint value for controlling the access system being calculated from the determined requirement parameter set, and controlling the pivot arm element by means of the dynamized setpoint value such that operation of the access system in line with requirements is continuously ensured. If a special operating mode is sensed, the following is carried out: reading in a special operation configuration parameter set and controlling the pivot arm element by means of the special operation configuration parameter set which has been read in.

An insertable planter system may include a container and an insert. A container may include a rim, an outer wall comprising an inner surface, a bottom portion comprising a floor, wherein the inner surface and floor may define a liquid reservoir. The floor may further include a positioning structure. An insert may include a lip, a sidewall, and a bottom. The sidewall and bottom may define a plant chamber. The insert may further include a complementary supporting structure, such that the container receives the insert so that the insert can be rotated into a suitable orientation where the complementary supporting structure of the insert engages the positioning structure of the container. A plant delivery method or system including such inserts, and a computer readable medium containing instructions for same.

Systems and methods for providing indoor navigation to emergency services are disclosed. The methods involve storing at least one electronic map of a facility and at least one annotation for the at least one electronic map. The at least one annotation can be representative of a service resource within the facility. The method also involves receiving a traversed area from at least one computing device within the facility during an event; determining a total traversed area based on the traversed area from each of the at least one computing device during the event; and providing the at least one annotation and the total traversed area within the at least one electronic map to be displayed on at least one graphical user interface.

Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for conducting an electronic savings competition. A method may include receiving a competition request including at least one goal, generating a competition in which participants each progress toward the at least one goal, and transmitting one or more competition invitations to participate in the competition to one or more user devices associated with one or more users. The method may further include receiving competition invitation acceptances, registering each user as one of the participants in the competition, and monitoring electronic records associated with the participants in the competition for an indication of progress toward the at least one goal. In response to detecting an indication of progress toward the at least one goal or an indication of completion of the goal, the method may include evaluating standings and determining a winner of the competition.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for computer-aided method for developing, customizing, and deploying a platform where people can provide service to other users based on a trust among multiple individuals. This is especially useful among ecommerce applications where users can initiate and complete an ecommerce transaction with an individual not directly trusted.

In accordance with various exemplary embodiments, solar energy shade structures and methods of design and revenue generation are disclosed. These systems comprise structures capable of supporting solar panel at heights greater than 18 feet above their mounting surface. These systems may be installed in confined spaces. These systems also comprise structures that are customizable, allowing an installation to be configured with a desired lighting and environmental effect. The methods discussed herein describe processes for achieving desired design effects based on natural elements. Moreover, the methods discussed herein describe processes for reducing the costs of generating solar energy and/or reducing the costs of providing a solar structure.

The present invention relates to a lottery syndicate system. The system includes a server for receiving confirmation of a lottery syndicate member, with a mobile internet device, being at a geographic location to qualify as a member of a lottery ticket syndicate. Typically, the geographic location is a store which has increased patronage by virtue of the lottery syndicate members being at that location.
