An information provision device in an information provision system includes, as its functions: a score control circuit that increases or decreases a provision timing score on the occurrence of a predetermined action; a timing determination circuit that determines the coming of the time to provide quiz information if the provision timing score exceeds a predetermined threshold; a priority control circuit that determines or changes, based on the situation of, e.g., a sport game on each occurrence of an action, priority associated with text information from which quiz information is generated; a quiz information generation circuit that generates appropriate quiz information based on the situation of, e.g., the sport game at the time determined; and a quiz information provision circuit that provides the generated quiz information to a user.

A game comprising an inflation device, at least one inflatable object to be inflated by the inflation device, the at least one inflatable object associated with at least one indicia, and at least one game card to be associated with the at least one indicia, wherein a player of the game associates the at least one game card with the at least one indicia upon inflation of the at least one inflatable objection. There is also provided an inflation time and a method of playing a game using the inflation timer.

The present disclosure provides systems, methods and machine readable programs. In some implementations, the systems, methods and machine readable programs can be used for selecting coffee cups or mugs of particular shapes with the objective of accentuating particular flavor notes in coffee as experienced by a user. In further implementations, the systems, methods and machine readable programs can be used for recommending an infusible extract based on a drinking vessel.

A fortune telling device provides touting services. The fortune telling device is linked to remote touting services and uses the information to make sporting event outcome predictions. The fortune telling device may include an interface for allowing users to place sports bets and sign up for an account with a third-party sportsbook.

A lockbox game is presented herein. The game includes a locked container with one or more prizes therein. The locked container, with the cover locked, is provided to a participant along with a series of puzzles. The participant is required to solve the puzzles in order to collectively reveal a lock code that can be used to open the locked container and retrieve the one or more prizes therein. The game can be presented in a number of different versions, including a stationary or tabletop version and a travel version. A mobile application may be used to display puzzles, convert puzzle solutions to portions of the lock code, or reveal locations to which the participant must travel during the game.

A quiz game processing method and system thereof includes the following steps. Receive a quiz game order releasing request information sent by a first party terminal and release a quiz game order according to the quiz game order releasing request information. The quiz game order releasing request information includes a first quiz game content, a first hash value of a computation operation result obtained by a specified first operation performed on a random value, and a second hash value of the random number. Receive a quiz game request information sent by one or more second party terminals in response to the quiz game order. Trigger a quiz game smart contract. The quiz game request information includes a second quiz game content. Monitor, by the quiz game smart contract, whether the first party terminal releases a random value within a predetermined period of time and generate a quiz game result according to a monitoring result. By locking the random value, it is guaranteed that before the random value is released, no one other than the one held the random value knows the first quiz game content so as to avoid collusion and collateral cheating.

There is provided an information processor and an information processing method to more naturally and effectively enable communication with a user. The information processor includes a motion controller that controls a motion of an autonomous mobile body, the motion controller causing the autonomous mobile body to perform a transfer motion in a state in which the autonomous mobile body maintains a forward-tilting attitude, the transfer motion including at least any one of a forward and backward movement, a turning movement, or a rotary movement. Further, the information processing method includes controlling a motion of an autonomous mobile body by a processor, the controlling including causing the autonomous mobile body to perform a transfer motion in a state in which the autonomous mobile body maintains a forward-tilting attitude, the transfer motion including at least any one of a forward and backward movement, a turning, or a rotary movement.

Systems and methods for generating a memory puzzle are provided. In one aspect, a memory puzzle system receives a selection of puzzle parameters via a first user interface. The memory puzzle system can obtain a plurality of media files associated with the puzzle parameters, and determine an order in which to play the plurality of media files. The memory puzzle system can also generate user interface data that, when rendered, causes a client system to display a second user interface that plays the plurality of media files in the determined order. The memory puzzle system can obtain thumbnails associated with the plurality of media files that are displayed in the second user interface after playback of the plurality of media files is complete. The memory puzzle system can receive an ordered selection of the thumbnails, and generate a score based at least partly on the ordered selection of the thumbnails.

A fortune telling system using artificial intelligence and other resources is provided to direct specific helpful psychological and other resources to users through multiple methods. A method for delivering a mental health resource to a person includes conducting a Tarot reading regarding a situation by pulling a combination of Tarot cards from a Tarot card deck; and receiving, by a computer processor, information regarding the combination of Tarot cards. The method also includes determining, by a first artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm, an emotional response likely to result from the combination of Tarot cards; and generating, by a second AI algorithm, a message based upon the emotional response likely to result from the combination of Tarot cards. The message is constructed to provide insight or comment to the person regarding the situation.

Unpredictable action of a physical device provides a truly random number from a smart top, including a spinner, preferably self-centering, such as a segment of a sphere. A housing containing a CPU and memory device is made to rotate in a plane parallel to a supporting surface, that plane containing the maximum moment of inertia of the apparatus. A central axis, located or self-locating, near a center of mass of the apparatus provides a contact point (pointed or not), shaped to reduce a moment arm of friction acting on the device when spinning on a rigid surface. Executables (programs) track rotation about the central axis, outputting a corresponding random number to other executables using it to control a meaningful outcome. One embodiment may be implemented in a smart phone equipped with a self-centering spinner.
