Disclosed is a system and method for allowing one or more users to interact with models from a distance, for example, by enabling the users to tip the models during online video chat sessions, wherein the models can define tipping parameters to perform predefined acts, via an adult toy, based on the amount of tips received. The adult toy can be Wi-Fi or Bluetooth™ enabled to receive commands directly from the server via a web browser extension, the website hosting an online video chat session, or connect to an application installed on a device operated by the model, wherein the application communicates with the web browser extension to relay commands to the adult toy therefrom. In some embodiments, the browser extension or website can generate live control links to enable certain users have a live control of the model's adult toy.

A method, including the steps of: a) receiving, over a mobile communication network, a user device identifier based on information maintained by a database of the mobile communication network, and first purchase price information from an internet-accessible merchant, b) determining whether a data token is maintained in a memory of the user device, c) generating and transmitting the data token to the user device for storage when the token is not maintained, d) determining, based on the user device identifier, a credit worthiness indicator for the user device, e) transmitting an authorization signal for the requested purchase without concurrently requiring payment when the creditworthiness indicator satisfies predetermined conditions, f) monitoring a total outstanding purchase balance, and g) transmitting a request signal for the user device for settlement of at least a part of the total outstanding purchase balance if this exceeds a predetermined threshold amount.

A solar power generation system includes a solar component having a power generation capacity of at least C kW for every C kW of a power consumption requirement of a data processing component executing a high computational workload, with the solar component designed for addressing the power consumption requirement of the high computational workload for at least 25% of at least 50% uptime of the data processing component per day. The solar power generation system also includes an energy storage device having a power storage capacity proportionate to the C kW of the power consumption requirement of the data processing component such that the energy storage device is designed to address the power consumption requirement of the high computational workload for a duration within a range of 16% to 75% of the at least 50% uptime of the data processing component per day.

Transaction periodicity forecasting using a machine learning-trained classifier for increasing a transaction success rate is disclosed. A transaction processing server may receive, through an application programming interface from a remote server, a first transaction request to process a transaction in an interaction between the remote server and a user device. The server may classify the transaction as a recurrent transaction with a machine learning-trained classifier based on one or more periodicities associated with the transaction and other data. The transaction processing server may generate a recurrent flag based on the classifying. The transaction processing server may communicate, through the application programming interface to an issuer host device, a second transaction request comprising the transaction and the recurrent flag for authenticating the transaction at the issuer host device. Via machine learning techniques, more transactions can be correctly identified as recurrent, improving the overall success rate on the execution of those transactions.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a money transfer network system that improves the performance of money transfer services provided via the money transfer network system and improves the performance of the underlying devices utilized to provide money transfer services. In particular, disclosed embodiments of a money transfer network system provide money transfer services that enable multiple users to engage in money transfer transactions as either a sending party or a receiving party in a manner that is similar to money transfer transactions executed between two users individually. Disclosed embodiments further enable a receiving party to request payment from a sending party, which may include scheduling recurring payments to be made via money transfer transactions.

A method of using a device to access multiple payment accounts at a payment system via photos is disclosed. The method includes accessing a photo generated by a first device. The method includes determining first and second images of a first and second person in the photo, respectively. The method includes determining that the first image is associated with a first payment account at the payment system. The method includes, responsive to determining that the first image is associated with the first payment account, determining whether the second image is associated with a second payment account. The method includes, responsive to determining that the second image is associated with the second payment account, authorizing a payment application at the device to split a payment to a third payment account between the first and second payment accounts, or to initiate sending of the payment to the second payment account.

A user books passenger transportation in a ride sourcing system that selects a motor vehicle from a fleet of vehicles belonging to a passenger transportation provider. The system assigns the selected motor vehicle to the passenger transportation booking of the user and registers an entertainment option booking as assigned to the passenger transportation booking of the user. This enables the user to play an entertainment option, corresponding to the entertainment option booking, by an output device in the selected motor vehicle while the user is being transported as a passenger in the selected motor vehicle.

An information processing system includes: a first terminal including a first processor including hardware; and a server including a second processor including hardware, wherein the first processor is configured to output, to the server, a calculation request for calculating a split bill amount for each user in a case where an expense is split to a plurality of users using electronic money deposited in an electronic wallet of each of the plurality of users, and the second processor is configured to calculate, in response to the calculation request, a split bill amount for each of the plurality of users based on user information of the plurality of users, and output information about the calculated split bill amount to the first terminal.

A split payment method at a transaction time requires a unique/special password for a payment transaction in the time of creating a split payment definition. A split payment can be initiated before a purchase, relevant confirmations can be received from stakeholders, and the split payment can be addressed with a password defined for a specific purchase. The split payment method also provides a real time authorization mechanism that allows to split the payment amount between the stakeholders.

A method includes selectably controlling a power supply from a renewable energy source based power system and an energy storage device charged thereby and/or an Alternating Current (AC) power system to a computing system including one or more data processing device(s) and a set of loads using an electronic control system, and continuously updating, through a computing power management system associated with the electronic control system, a parameter of operation of the one or more data processing device(s) and/or the set of loads in response to analyzing data pertinent to prior energy usage/production and/or predicted energy usage/production relevant to execution of a high computational workload through the one or more data processing device(s). The method also includes optimizing the power supply from the renewable energy source based power system and/or the energy storage device to the one or more data processing device(s) based on the continuously updated parameter of operation.
