International Classification:

G06F017/60

US Classification:

705/037000, 705/026000

Abstract:

A first participating entities prepares a transaction offer notice on a data processing system. The transaction offer notice is stored in a database of such notices on a server system which is available to entities participating in the system. Transaction notices contained within the server system's database are available to a user community over the Internet and form the basis of a trading platform. Users are able to search the database for transaction offer notices that satisfy a set for search criteria, and are able to electronically negotiate with the offeror with respect to transaction parameters and other terms and conditions until the transaction is acceptable to both parties. The original transaction offer notice is retained in the database and is further available to the user community while negotiations are proceeding. Transaction offer notices are able to be posted by any participating entity, and once a transaction is consummate, transactions details are forwarded to a third-party financial institution for fund transfer.

International Classification:

A63F 13/06

US Classification:

463 37

Abstract:

A gaming system is disclosed for presenting both game content and secondary content on a single display. The gaming system includes: a touch screen game display configured to display content, a gaming controller configured to generate game content, and a secondary controller configured to generate secondary content. The display manager scales at least one of the game content and the secondary content to an altered size, enabling the game content from the gaming controller to be rendered with the secondary content from the secondary controller on the touch screen game display. The gaming system also includes a coordinate transformation calculation device that receives coordinates from an input on the touch screen game display and accommodates any scaling or shifting performed on at least one of the game content and the secondary content to determine transformed coordinates corresponding to the altered size of the rendered content.

A63F 13/426
A63F 13/2145

Abstract:

A system is disclosed for presenting both primary content and secondary content on a single display. The system includes: a touch screen display configured to display content, a primary controller configured to generate primary content, and a secondary controller configured to generate secondary content. The display manager alters at least one of the primary content and the secondary content, enabling the primary content to be rendered with the secondary content on the touch screen display. The system also includes a coordinate transformation device that receives coordinates from an input on the touch screen display and accommodates any scaling or shifting performed on at least one of the primary content and the secondary content to determine transformed coordinates corresponding of the rendered content prior to routing the transformed coordinates to the proper primary controller or secondary controller.

International Classification:

G07F 17/32

US Classification:

463 31

Abstract:

A method is described for presenting video signals from a first video source and one or more second video sources on a single touch screen display. The method includes: enabling display of primary content from a first video signal and secondary content from a second video signal on the touch screen display, using a display manager, in an adjacent or overlapping condition by scaling or shifting one of the first video signal(s) or the second video signal(s) to alter the size and to render the first video signal with the second video signal(s); and calculating a coordinate transformation, using a touch router device, on coordinates received from the touch screen display that correspond to the presentation at the touch screen display of the video signals and to accommodate any scaling or shifting performed on the first video signal(s) or the second video signal(s).
