20130185137 | WIRELESS COMMUNICATION-ENABLED PROMOTIONS AND COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS - Coupons and other promotions can be enabled using mobile computing devices with Near Field Communication (NFC) or other wireless communication capabilities. For example, a mobile device user can collect a coupon displayed during a cable TV show by tapping his NFC mobile device to a peripheral device in wireless communication with a cable TV receiver. Collected coupons can be stored in a coupon database at the mobile device. Coupons can be redeemed by tapping an NFC mobile device to an NFC point of sale terminal. Coupons can also be collected from advertisements in audio media and web pages, and can be collected at a mobile device from media displayed at the mobile device. Coupons can have time-based, location-based or other usage restrictions. Collecting information stored in NFC tags affixed to items in a scavenger hunt list can unlock downloadable content. | 07-18-2013 |
20130339166 | USER-CONFIGURABLE ACTIVATION OF CARD APPLETS - Card applets associated with an electronic wallet are activated and deactivated based on user-defined rules.

20120209714 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING TARGETED ADVERTISING - An advertising provider may be obligated to ensure that its advertising directs users to the correct business entity (e.g., dealer or franchise). The advertising provider may maintain a datastructure comprising a plurality of “areas of responsibility” (AOR), each of which may be assigned to a respective dealer. When generating advertising content to be provided to a user, the advertising provider may access location-identifying information about the user. The location-identifying information may comprise a zip code, street address, or the like, which is sufficiently specific to allow the advertising provider to identify an AOR in the AOR datastructure. Accordingly, generalized location information, such as city, state, and/or country may not be sufficient. The location-identifying information may be used to identify the dealer that is assigned to the user. The advertising provider may access dealer-specific information, which may be used to generate dealer-targeted advertising for the user. | 08-16-2012 |

20130066700 | GROUP TRANSACTION PROCESSING USING A SOCIAL STREAM - A user provides an input to a public stream system indicating that the user desires to conduct a transaction (such as a sale, renting a piece of equipment, etc.). The system identifies a group of other users that may wish to participate in the transaction, and at some point, informs those users of the opportunity to participate in a group transaction. Offers for the group transaction are identified and made available to the users and user acceptance of, and commitment to, the offer is tracked. Incentives can optionally be provided to one or more members of the group. | 03-14-2013 |
20130066876 | IDENTIFYING UNSEEN CONTENT OF INTEREST - Making an information retrieval process public, so that it can be followed by others, allows capturing of an interest graph that allows people to learn more about shared interests with other people. This also allows items of interest to a trusted resource (such as an expert) to be identified. These items can then be brought to the attention of other users that share the same interest as the expert. In addition, by keeping track of what particular content a user has already seen, the system can bring items of interest to the user's attention, where the user has not yet seen those items. | 03-14-2013 |
20140108960 | Creating Threaded Multimedia Conversations - Various embodiments provide an ability for users to locate relevant multimedia building blocks for use in adding to posts in a manner which robustly adds to a particular conversation. A thread of conversation can be created across many posts and times. The notion of textual of replies is extended by allowing a multimedia conversation across a series of posts. Multimedia conversation lineages can be tracked and visualized across a series of posts, thus allowing for a non-linear tree of connections among related posts. In addition, an integrated social search engine can be utilized to provide for a shared context for constructing derivative posts. | 04-17-2014 |

20120211561 | SYSTEMS METHODS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR ENCODING AND DECODING TRANSACTION DATA - Tax data, e.g., Form W2 data, is encoded as a two-dimensional machine readable representation, such as a QR CODE. Certain tax data is encoded as segments of a QR CODE, and a tax form generated by an employer or payroll processing service and provided to an employee or user includes the QR CODE representing certain W-2 or other tax data. An image of the QR CODE is acquired using a camera of a mobile communication device or computer or other image capture device. When using a Smartphone, a tax preparation application executing on the Smartphone decodes the QR CODE image to determine the tax data, and populates fields of an electronic tax return with decoded data, thus allowing a consumer to prepare an electronic tax return using a mobile communication device. | 08-23-2012 |

20080204106 | SIGNAL ADJUSTMENT TECHNIQUES - An apparatus includes a filter module, an amplification module, and an adjustment signal source. The filter module generates a filtered signal based on a received signal. This filtered signal has a level shift corresponding to a difference between a direct current (DC) level of the filtered signal and a DC level of the received signal. From the filtered signal and an adjustment signal, the amplification module generates an amplified signal. The adjustment signal, which is provided by the adjustment signal source, may control (e.g., diminish) an effect of the level shift on a DC level of the amplified signal. | 08-28-2008 |
