A system and associated methods for authenticating tangible products are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, a plurality of authentication devices is initiated, with each of the authentication devices associated with a one of the tangible products and containing a unique sequence algorithm used to generate a sequence of device sequence values stored on each said authentication device. Upon a user desiring to authenticate a given product via a user application on a user device, the authentication device provides a data set to an authentication server. If the authentication server locates the authentication device in an authentication table, and subsequently processes the data set successfully, the authentication server obtains from the authentication table a server sequence value associated with the authentication device. If the device sequence value is later in the sequence than the server sequence value, the authentication server transmits a success message to the user application.

Techniques are disclosed for determining application experience of a user. One embodiment presented herein includes a computer-implemented method, which includes receiving, at a computing device, eye tracking data of a user interacting with at least a first page of an application. The computer-implemented method further includes determining, based at least on the eye tracking data, at least a current user experience regarding the first page. The computer-implemented method further includes predicting, based on evaluating the current user experience, that the user is likely to discontinue use of the application. The computer-implemented method further includes determining, based at least on the prediction, an intervention that reduces a likelihood of the user discontinuing use of the application, and interacting with the user according to the intervention.

The amount of user activity performed in relation to a promotion may be tracked based on user content captured via the client application. At least a portion of user content captured via the client application may be scanned and analyzed to identify user activity related to the user content. Augmented reality content items may be executable to generate content that is displayed in relation to the user content and that indicates an amount of user activity related to the promotion. In addition, the augmented reality content items may be executable to generate content in relation to the user content that indicates one or more redemption options for the promotion based on an amount of user activity performed by a user of the client application that captured the user content.

A social media website which allocates points to participants for a variety of activities by either the participant or by others, who may be other participants. Allocation of points results in rankings of participants, wherein higher ranked participants are allocated more opportunities for accumulating advertising revenue. Ads placed throughout the system's various pages may have their potential conversion value ascribed to designated groups or persons, as the ranked participant desires. Retained revenues may be used by a participant to purchase goods from participating vendors.

A method of providing reward-type practical training to a practical training participant in a crowdsourcing-based project that enables more actual work practice by providing, as practical training, a practical training participant with tasks that are the same as those performed by a real worker, is provided.

A human resource information utilization system which includes a central server for managing human resource information, wherein the central server: receives the registration of an institution and individuals belonging to the institution as members; generates a unique ID for each individual performing work in the institution; receives, from the institution, the input of human resource information at each preset interval; analyzes the human resource information and thus classifies the human resource information into individually-performed basic work information and project information; and constructs a database to store the classified basic work information and project information together with the corresponding unique ID of each individual, the basic work and project information on individuals provided by the institution being acquired and then stored in the database, thus making it possible to acquire human resource information that is of greater quantity and more complete than in the past.

Distributed muster includes distributing to different mobile devices an identity of an assigned muster location of an ocean-going vessel, and associating each mobile device both with a corresponding passenger of the ocean-going vessel, and also with the assigned muster location. Thereafter, a timer initiates that defines a period during which a muster drill must be completed by all of the passengers and, in response, a message is transmitted to each mobile device that the muster drill has commenced. During the period, as each mobile device is sensed within a geographically defined area of a correspondingly assigned muster location, a record of the completion of the muster drill by the passenger associated with the sensed mobile device is recorded in the memory. As well, subsequent to a lapsing of the timer, a listing is displayed of any passenger not recorded as having completed the muster drill.

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a system for achieving viewer response/acknowledgement based digital advertising using the cloud service platform, comprising: computing devices connected with an advertisement viewership application module through a communication network, the advertisement viewership application module receives requests from the computing devices and the advertisement viewership application module comprises I/O interface configured to receive input data from the computing devices through the communication network, the advertisement viewership application module configured to display digital contents on the computing devices, the advertisement viewership application module configured to provide questions associated with digital contents based on the authentication of the users and receives answers for the question from the users and checks for the correctness of the answers; and a memory configured to store the information received from the I/O interface and the memory communicatively coupled to the processor of the advertisement viewership application module.

A promotion processing system may include user devices that may include a mobile device to acquire an image of a given product having a brand associated therewith. The system may include a promotion processing server to obtain the acquired image of the given product from the mobile wireless device, and use image recognition to determine the brand associated with the given product based upon the acquired image. The server may also operate a chatbot with the user devices. The chatbot may include a social media wall having user-obtained images of different products, and each different product may be associated with the brand. The server may add the acquired image to the social media wall and solicit voting, within the chatbot and from the user devices, for a favored image on the social media wall, and determine and communicate a reward value to the mobile device based upon the voting.

A computer-implemented method of incentivizing an insurance agent to update a memory storage location. The method includes receiving, at one or more processors, a message indicating an agent updated a memory storage location with information about a customer or a real estate property. The method also includes increasing, via the one or more processors and according to an interval of time, a score of the agent for at least one item of information about one or more of the customer or the real estate property updated to the memory storage location. The method further includes calculating, via the one or more processors, an agent rating based upon the score of the agent, the agent rating used to compute one or more of compensation or bonus of the agent.
