Apparatuses and methods are provided for storing information related to objects associated with a hand of a user via a wearable camera system. In one implementation, a wearable apparatus for storing the information is provided comprising a wearable image sensor configured to capture a plurality of images from the environment of the user, and at least one processing device programmed to process the images. The processing device may detect the hand of the user, and an object associated with the user's hand. The processing device may proceed to store information related to the object. Consistent with disclosed embodiments, the stored information may be used for various purposes, such as warning the user of dangers, catering advertising to the user, and helping the user find objects when they are lost.

A wearable apparatus and method are provided for capturing image data. In one implementation, a wearable apparatus for capturing image data is provided. The wearable apparatus includes a plurality of image sensors for capturing image data of an environment of a user. Each of the image sensors is associated with a different field of view. The wearable apparatus also includes a processing device programmed to process image data captured by at least two of the image sensors to identify an object in the environment. The processing device is also programmed to identify a first image sensor, which has a first optical axis closer to the object than a second optical axis of a second image sensor. After identifying the first image sensor, the processing device is also programmed to process image data from the first image sensor using a first processing scheme, and process image data from the second image sensor using a second processing scheme.

A system comprising a first device having a touch screen a messaging application running in the background within said first device and a window related to said application, said window, regardless of the window of any other application displayed on the screen, is located on an edge of said touch screen while said messaging application is running, wherein upon providing a gesture from said window of said messaging application towards inside of said touch screen, a function related to said messaging application is executed.

One or more devices send, over a network, an advertisement for presentation by a video client, where the advertisement includes a trigger for secondary advertising content that is presented, within a hotspot designated in the primary advertisement, as part of the primary advertisement. The one or more devices receive, via the network, a notification from the video client that a user has selected the trigger and determine, based on the notification, particular secondary advertising content to be presented to the user. The one or more devices send, over the network, instructions to the video client to retrieve the particular secondary advertising content for presentation to the user.

An email server sends an email message to a user with an empty container. When the user uses an email client to open the email message, the email client transmits pulls data to be loaded into the empty container from a dynamic content provider. The dynamic content provider determines in real time a set of valid coupon offers for the user and transmits the set to the user in real-time for insertion into the empty container. The dynamic content provider may determine a rank for each of the set of the valid coupon offers, such that the rank is observed when the set of the coupon offers is inserted into the empty container.

Safe and effective exercise poses a specific set of challenges for subjects diagnosed with diabetes. These challenges include the coordination of exercise with blood glucose monitoring and insulin administration. Failure to coordinate these factors effectively can lead to various pathologies related to aberrant blood glucose levels. Presented herein are methods, systems, algorithms, computer program products, web portals, real-time live instruction, and computer-executable code for exercise guidance and instruction specific to diabetes relief and management. The systems as disclosed herein can help ameliorate, slow, or reduce a likelihood of developing a diabetic condition.

A method of providing advertising from a central database server connected to a global computer network to distributed sites via interactive television. A representative icon is presented to a subscriber on a television screen indicating an advertisement. When the icon is selected, an advertisement information detail is retrieved from storage in a local memory, or from the central database server and presented to the subscriber on the television screen.

The pull-type searching system provides an effective and efficient way to navigate deals and assist the user in identifying a deal for selection. The pull-type searching system further enables identification of one or more alternative deals to present to the user when no deals are identified for the selected search criteria. The pull-type searching system includes a method and apparatus. The method includes communicating ordered selectable search criteria, the search criteria including one or more categories, subcategories and deal types based on a user profile or available deals, or redemption goals. The method further includes receiving a selection from the search criteria and searching a deals database for results associated with the selection. Further, the method includes communicating the results associated with the selection, one or more alternative categories, or one or more alternative deals. A similar apparatus is provided.

Methods, apparatus, and computer program products are disclosed for providing an impression to a consumer based on consumer preferences for future promotions. The methods include accessing consumer preferences for future promotions that specify at least one promotion request relating to a provider or a promotion category, and one or more promotion qualities, analyzing a plurality of promotions to identify those that satisfy the consumer preferences, and providing an impression to the consumer indicating the availability of the identified promotions. In embodiments, the methods can be used to identify promotions that are combinable with additional promotions offered by the same provider. Corresponding apparatus and computer program products are also provided.
