20140032267 | User controlled system and method for collecting, pricing, and trading data - A method for user directed collection and pricing data for trading or sale. The method enables the user to capture field labels and entries for assignment to one or a plurality of domain categories and processing classes. The user retains control over the data as it is captured, categorized, priced, and packaged for sale to participants in a data supply chain. | 01-30-2014 |
20140207840 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING REAL TIME DISPLAY OF CHANGES TO DATA TRIGGERED BY CHANGES IN A DATA SUPPLY CHAIN - The present invention is directed to a method and system for conducting one or a plurality of scenarios, simulations, games, or sport in which a plurality of participants are able to designate or “draft” or be assigned a set of assets, such a football team or basketball team or a set of military assets. Participants are further able to alter allocation of said assets according the rules and processes for reallocation of said game, sport or simulation in a real time crowd sourced pervasive computing environment. Statistics and real time audio and video streams and other data postable into mashups associated with said assets are updated in real time as they are captured, recorded, and distributed using a variety of transmission methods available to a pervasive computing environment. Said updated statistics may be transmitted by a third party such as a media outlet or through one or a plurality of social networks into which said participants are registered or enrolled. | 07-24-2014 |
