20140379894 | USING DIFFERENT CONNECTIVITY CHECKS TO DETERMINE CAUSES OF CONNECTIVITY ISSUES - Connectivity is tested using different locations and contexts selected from different possible failure zones. The failure zones may include: client failure zones; Internet failure zones; and online service failure zones. The results relating to different connectivity tests performed using the different failure zones are correlated and analyzed in an attempt to determine a root cause of the connectivity issue. For example, the root cause may be determined to be a configuration problem of the client, a problem with the client's networking equipment, an ISP problem, an Internet backbone problem; a problem of the online service, and the like. Different contexts may also be used when performing the tests. These results may be compared to the other connectivity test results. The results from the tests may be provided to the client experiencing the problem. Aggregated test results may also be used to detect service wide issues and trigger an alert. | 12-25-2014 |

20130335310 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACTIVATING, ACTIONING AND PROVIDING FEEDBACK ON INTERACTIVE OBJECTS WITHIN LINE OF SIGHT - Systems and methods are provided for line of sight, hands free interaction with interactive objects within a defined space on a line of sight basis. The system can include a base station in communication with one or more interactive objects having a variety of display options. Details about the display options are stored on the system along with the location of the interactive objects and layout of the surroundings of the interactive object. Users can carry devices that are in communication with the base station and that determine the user's location and head orientation and relay that information to the base station. Using the location and orientation of the user, the location of the interactive objects and the layout information about the surrounding area, the system can determine if the user is looking directly at an interactive object and can cause the interactive object to perform an action. | 12-19-2013 |

The systems and methods described herein enable a series of operations whereby a purchaser can initiate a transaction and instead of paying using a credit card or cash, the consumer can use trust based credit “tab” with the merchant and pay its bill at a later time. Based on this selection, a credit transaction request (identifying the consumer, the merchant and the credit amount) can be transmitted to the system server. In response, the system server can generate a report with the consumer's credit transaction history and credit profile and transmit the information back to the merchant. The merchant can elect to approve and finalize the credit transaction or decline. The consumer's transaction history can be updated with the transaction and all necessary adjustments to the consumer's credit profile can be made. | 11-07-2013 |
