Systems and methods for enabling various devices to remotely interact with cloud-based client applications are provided. A method comprises receiving a first request from a first client device of a user to initiate an interactive session with a cloud-based client application, reserving an application engine for executing the cloud-based client application remotely from the first client device, receiving interaction data from the first client device as the user engages with a first media data associated with the cloud-based client application, modifying the cloud-based client application executing within the application engine that is reserved based on the interaction data received from the first client device, receiving a second request from the first client device to end the interactive session with the cloud-based client application that is modified, and deallocating the application engine that is reserved, wherein the application engine that is reserved is delinked from the first client device.

An approach for providing detailed product information at a product selection shelf location. The approach receives an indication from a sensor that a customer is in proximity to a product on a display shelf. The approach retrieves detailed information about the product from a product data storage location. The approach generates a formatted presentation of the detailed information. The approach displays the formatted presentation as a holographic image from holographic projectors installed in the display shelf.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium, for providing content. A method includes receiving a request for an advertisement to be displayed in a slot associated with a third-party content site; identifying a relevant advertisement to be provided in the slot; determining information to be included in an annotation associated with the advertisement, the annotation including customized information to be presented along with the advertisement; providing the advertisement responsive to the request including providing the annotation along with a control for re-publishing the advertisement along with the relevant advertisement; receiving user input selecting the control and designating the advertisement for re-publishing to a group, the group being designated by the user; and targeting additional content to the group based on the received user input.

A virtual local presence display apparatus, system and method is disclosed. Included are an extraction engine capable of automatically disassociating the virtual local presence from its production background; a first data feed of an actual background in which the displaying device resides; a background data feed of a plurality of optional backgrounds including at least the production background of the virtual local presence; a stream subject data feed of an extracted one of the virtual local presence extracted from the production background; an integrated data feed in which the virtual local presence and a background are integrated; a first processing having a receiver capable of receiving the data feeds and assessing a plurality of focal lengths to focal planes for the virtual presence in the production background, and in a selected one of the other backgrounds; and a second processing for causing displaying, on the display device, the virtual presence at a suitable location with regard to the focal planes in a selected one of the other backgrounds.

Systems and methods for generating offers can utilize a rules-based engine using received player information and a set of rules associated with at least one merchant. A subset of the rules can be based on the player information and the set of play preferences. An offer can be generated based on the set of applicable rules, and the offer can be redeemed at a merchant location, which can be a physical location, e.g., a casino, or online gaming platform.

A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and system for obtaining and delivering at least one alcoholic beverage through at least one supply chain are described. In some examples, the present disclosure includes obtaining and delivering at least one alcoholic beverage, through the supply chain, to at least one user. In some examples, the at least one alcoholic beverage can be delivered with at least one item that is not an alcoholic beverage. In some examples, the at least one alcoholic beverage can be delivered with at least one free alcoholic beverage obtained from a manufacturer. Some examples of the present disclosure also allow for management of inventory of alcoholic beverages throughout at least one supply chain.

A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may perform, for example, operations including determining a representative trajectory of a number of mobile devices relative to a media presentation device, such as a digital billboard. An audience of the number of mobile devices is identified and user characteristics are obtained of the audience. A representative interest of the audience is determined from the user characteristics of the audience, and a media content item is selected according to the representative interest and the representative trajectory. The media content item is presented at the media presentation device to expose the audience to the media content item. Other embodiments are disclosed.

This disclosure involves a using an adaptive component for customizing content delivered to customer devices. For instance, an adaptive component is configured to selectively receive information from a back-end service and present the information based on contexts of shopping experiences on particular devices. A context includes at least one of a device being a particular location or indicating a particular stage of interest in a product or service. The adaptive component includes configured parameters specifying different sets of sales information for different contexts. Different sets of context-specific sales are provided, based on different contexts, for presentation on one or more user devices via the adaptive component.

An information processing device includes circuitry that detects a change in a position of a person. The circuitry also changes a position of a virtual sound source in accordance with the change in the position of the person and outputs a sound through wave field synthesis so that a spatial sound field is transmitted via a plurality of speakers.

According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for providing benefits for an application, the method comprising the steps of: acquiring information on an optimal travel route of a user; and when a place associated with benefits for at least one application is included in an actual travel route of the user, determining the benefits to be provided to the user with reference to a difference between the optimal travel route and the actual travel route.
