A video streaming system comprises one or more servers, each of the one or more servers including one or more processors and a memory. The one or more servers receive signaling from a client device via a packet-based telecommunication network. In response to the received signaling, the one or more servers transmit to the client device, via the packet-based telecommunication network, one or more files in a format compatible with a media player on the client device, the one or more files including (i) an indication of one or more segments of video content, (ii) one or more URLs identifying one or more resources of a content distribution network available to facilitate streaming of the one or more segments and one or more advertisements to the client device, (iii) information instructing the client device how to communicate with the one or more resources to cause the one or more segments of the video content and the one or more advertisements to be streamed to the client device in a predetermined sequence, and (iv) an identifier uniquely associated with the client device and a viewing session for the video content.

Methods and systems providing digital signage and interactive gaming services in compliance with federal and state laws and regulations are described. A service fee is collected from a retailer, and a service fee may or may not be collected from a retailer (e.g., a bar). An advertising fee is collected from a first advertising provider. The first advertising provider is involved in alcohol distribution/wholesaling or manufacturing. A second advertising fee from a second advertising provider is collected. The second advertising provider is involved in a non-alcohol related industry. A portion of a subscription fee is collected based on a separate source of fees (e.g., text message or jukebox fee) received from a patron. The message may contain information indicating that the patron wishes to pay a service fee. Revenue sharing is implemented by distributing a portion of the service fee to the retailer and distributing a portion of the advertising fee from the second advertising provider to the retailer in compliance with federal and state laws.

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system and a method for performing operations comprising: receiving, by a messaging application, content from a given user; selecting a metric for measuring performance of the content on the messaging application; measuring performance of the content on the messaging application; computing a value of the performance of the content on the messaging application based on the selected metric; and updating a restricted use token wallet stored in a profile for the given user based on the computed value of the performance of the content.

An advertising display system includes: an advertising display unit which displays advertising on an avatar operated by a user in a virtual reality space; a contact information acquiring unit which acquires information on contact times of the avatar in the virtual reality space with other avatars operated by other users and the number of the other avatars; and an advertising fee calculating unit which calculates an advertising fee to be applied to each of the user and the other users based on the information on the contact times and the number of other avatars acquired by the contact information acquiring unit.

A computer-implemented method and system for integration among content publication, advertisement services and rewards collection is provided. The method and system comprises publishing a first content generated by a first user for public viewing, determining whether a predetermined condition of the published first content reaches a first predetermined threshold, providing a limited number of user-controlled slots if the first predetermined threshold is reached, and allowing the first user to set a price or prices for rewards collection. When the published content reaches a second predetermined threshold, another limited number of user-controlled slots is then provided for the user to set a price or prices for rewards collection and so on.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to systems and methods for location-based information distribution and transmission. An exemplary method is provided for transmitting data to a user based on a location and trajectory. The method includes receiving from a location determining device location information and trajectory information of a user; generating a geometric shape representing a physical region of interest based on the location information and a user trajectory of the user based on the trajectory information; selecting, by the server, a subset of information for display to the user responsive to (i) a present user context and (ii) the location information indicating the user trajectory will intersect the geometric shape representing the physical region of interest specified in the location information; and transmitting the subset of targeted information in an order of likely user proximity to the businesses within the geometric shape.

A computer-implemented method and system for integration among content publication, advertisement services and rewards collection is provided. The method and system comprises publishing a first content generated along with their associated title link/links by a first user for public viewing, determining whether a predetermined condition of the published first content reaches a first predetermined threshold, providing a limited number of user-controlled slots if the first predetermined threshold is reached, and allowing the first user to set a price or prices for rewards collection. At the same time, allow the title link/links to become an indicator or indicators of the location/locations of the limited number of user-controlled slots that provide different functions in various interfaces. When the published content reaches a second predetermined threshold, another limited number of user-controlled slots is then provided for the user to set a price or prices for rewards collection and so on.

A system for managing digital assets held by digital wallets is provided. The system comprises an electronic device and an electronic wallet application stored at least in the device that when executed enables minting of at least one customer logo or facial recognition Non-fungible Token (NFT) as directed by user entries. The system lists the NFT on a DebitMyData platform, receives a message that the NFT has been sold in a transaction, and validates and logs the transaction on a blockchain. The platform integrates facial recognition technology with a blockchain-based NFT advertising model to allow users to place logos on NFTs and videos for sharing on social media and mobile devices. The platform pays users a percentage of advertising dollars spent by corporate sponsors and advertisers who use logos placed on NFTs by the users. The application tokenizes personal data into NFTs which are manageable and tradeable on the blockchain.
