A method for per-viewing and per-timeframe commerce includes: creating and transmitting, over a network, by a server-side computing device, a message or packet comprising one or more of user's unique identifier, selected viewing identifier, customization preferences of the user, media content unique identifier, per-viewing identifier, per-timeframe identifier, and sub-account preferences of the user, of one or more of media content and product merchandise, the customization preferences and sub-account preferences of the user obtained by the client device, and customized by the server-side computing device, the per-viewing identifier and per-timeframe identifier, processed by the server-side computing device computing device using one or more of a media content provider's unique identifier and media content database, obtained by a client device, to display tile images associated with the media content unique identifier, and streamed or downloaded, over the network, to a client-side playback device that is substantially synchronized with the server-side computing device.

A self-adaptive fair system includes a mobile carrier, a first object, a processing unit and a production station. The mobile carrier is for selectively moving to or being moved to a first location. The first object is exhibited at the first location through the mobile carrier. The first object is accessed by a first user at the first location for selectively generating a first user design. The processing unit is for receiving a first order inputted by the first user and transmitting the first order. The first order is related to the first user design. The production station located outside the mobile carrier and signally connected to the processing unit for producing a second object according to the first order.

An online system provides options for selection by a user. The online system receives a query entered on a client device. The online system queries an item database to retrieve a set of items related to the query and assigns each item to a product category in a predefined taxonomy that maps items to product categories. The online system inputs each item into a prediction model trained to predict a probability that an item is available at a warehouse location. The online system determines that a first product category has low availability based on predicted probabilities for items in the first product category. Responsive to determining that a first product category has low availability, the online system generates a generic item for the first product category and sends a list of items including the generic item to the client device for display responsive to the query.

There is provided a system and method of automated processing of online social networking data for integration with an inventory management system. A merchant or other selling entity may post data to a social networking platform, where the posted data includes an item for sale. A transaction processor may process the post data to determine the item for sale with a backend merchant inventory management system or other sales platform. The transaction processor may then poll comments to the posted data to determine whether any users are requesting to purchase the item. If the transaction processor identifies a purchase request, the transaction processor may interface with the merchant's sales platform to determine availability, cost, and other parameters, and may generate an invoice for the item. The invoice may be communicated to the user, and the transaction processor may update the merchant with results from processing the invoice.

A wireless communications system is provided. A computer system runs on at least one platform on which at least one interactive lottery is played across multiple, states, territories, countries and jurisdictions. At least one computer readable storage medium stores computer executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one network processor in the workflow server residing in the mobile communications network, implement components including: a workflow module comprising sets of workflow instructions for processing different types of lottery game packets from a plurality of different jurisdictions; and a deep packet inspection module for inspecting a received lottery game packet and providing information about the lottery game packet to the workflow module.

A wireless communications system includes a computer system that runs on at least one platform on which a plurality of different lottery games for different jurisdictions are supported and run from the at least one platform. A plurality of multiple functions relative to lottery games are mapped to the at least one platform. Multiple functions for the plurality of lottery games and different jurisdictions are mapped to the at least one platform and the at least one platform is scaleable. The at least one platform is configured to perform gifting.

A system and method for automatically submitting an online order from a customer to a restaurant. Input data and customer data is used by an order engine to select a deployment platform, such as social media networks, search engines, mobile applications, and related websites, for a user interface. The order engine provides a unique identifier for each restaurant. The unique identifier can be used by third parties, such as online content providers, to return the menu for the restaurant included in the third party content. The user interface automatically populates the restaurant's menu options and business data, allowing the customer to build an order. The order engine submits the order to the restaurant via a non-verbal communication platform.

A method for monitoring a packaging process of at least one article. In the method, a sort of an article is acquired before it is placed in a transport container. At least one image and at least one depth measurement of the article are recorded after it is placed in the transport container. The three-dimensional dimensions of the article are calculated and are compared with a specification for the acquired sort of the article. If the dimensions of the article do not agree with the specification, a warning is issued.

An enterprise management platform is configured to host a respective instance for multiple client networks. The enterprise management platform receives incoming data including one or more metrics being tracked in the incoming data by the enterprise management platform. For each metric of the one or more metrics, a determination is made that a statistic generator is to be processed for the corresponding metric, and responsive to determining that the statistic generator is to be processed, a statistic is generated using the statistic generator. For each statistic, a news score is generated, using a news evaluator, to convert the statistic generator to a news score. The news scores are then sorted and stored in a database disposed within the enterprise management platform.

Methods and apparatus to translate and manage product data are disclosed. A disclosed example system for translating and managing product data pertaining to a plurality of tenants includes a rules executor to verify, based on product attribute rules, that requested product attributes pertaining to a product request from a buyer are valid, an attribute translator to generate platform standard attributes of products corresponding to the tenants, where the attribute translator is to translate tenant-specific product attributes to the platform standard attributes based on the tenant-specific product attributes and the product attribute rules, and an equivalency evaluator to evaluate an equivalency of the products based on the requested product attributes and output the equivalency. The equivalency evaluator is to store the equivalency.
