20120225639 | PORTABLE COMPUTERIZED WIRELESS PAYMENT APPARATUS AND METHODS - A mobile user apparatus and associated methods useful for conducting payment transactions wirelessly, such as at point-of-sale locations. In one embodiment, the mobile user apparatus is a cellular-enabled mobile device that includes a short-range passive radio frequency transceiver that when interrogated by a reader at the point-of-sale, issues a reply including information relating to an account of the user of the mobile apparatus that is to be debited for the payment. In one variant, the information stored on the mobile device is encrypted for security, and the mobile user apparatus is further configured to receive transaction data wirelessly in return. | 09-06-2012 |
20150213401 | COMPUTERIZED APPARATUS FOR TRANSFER BETWEEN LOCATIONS - A computerized apparatus useful for causing transfer of items (tangible or otherwise) from at least one location to another. In one embodiment, the apparatus is a portable user-operated apparatus having at least one input device enabled to receive input identifying the item(s) to be transferred, and a wireless interface to interface with a nearby computer system (e.g., desktop computer, kiosk, or other device) to cause the computer system to invoke the transfer via a remote entity. In one variant, the transfer involves inputting barcode data via the portable device, and resultant shipment of consumable items to the user's location. In another variant, the transfer is an electronic transfer of a data structure such as an MP3 music file. | 07-30-2015 |

20140082645 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING ENHANCED OR INTERACTIVE FEATURES - Apparatus and methods for providing enhanced or interactive features over a network. In one embodiment, the exemplary apparatus and methods leverage extant high-bandwidth capabilities of a managed network, and enable a user to create a playlist of content, clips, advertisements, from among currently broadcast content, stored content, user generated content, web or other network content. The user can upload user-generated or other content to the network such as for selection into a playlist at higher rates using a network operator-provided wireless (e.g., WMAN) dongle. Additional interactive features include, among other, enhancements which enable user participation individually or with other subscribers in live or recorded content-based group activities (such as e.g., cooking, exercising, group viewing, dating, and learning/teaching). Further interactive gaming and couponing options are also provided. Still further, the present apparatus and methods may be used to provide general public use wireless access from existing private user devices. | 03-20-2014 |
