Abstract:

A method of generating a markup language text template comprises identifying a variable text element in a source language text string and assigning a first predefined symbol to the variable text element, identifying a grammatical rule for the variable text element and assigning a second predefined symbol to the variable text element based on the identified grammatical rule, determining whether to assign supplemental information to the variable text element, wherein the first predefined symbol, the second predefined symbol, and the supplemental information if assigned represent a token, and repeating the identification of a grammatical rule, assignment of first and second predefined symbols, and determination of whether to assign supplemental information for remaining variable text elements in the source language text string so as to complete a markup language text template comprising one or more tokens.

International Classification:

G06F 17/28

US Classification:

704 4, 704 9, 704277

Abstract:

A system and method of generating a target language markup language (ML) text template comprise translating one or more words in a source language ML text template to one or more words in the target language so as to generate a target language ML text template, and defining a target language localized template for the target language ML text template using the translated words. The method may also include adding and modifying metadata for variant text associated with a source language text string according to attributes of a target language, wherein the target language localized template is defined using the modified metadata in addition to the translated words.

US Classification:

463/042000

Abstract:

An integrated system for identifying casino customers, placing wagers and tracking wins and losses, and for placing reservations and services, that is capable of automatically verifying that sufficient funds are available, and that tracks the cumulative amounts of money won, lost, and spent by a customer. A hand-held wireless communications device includes a biometric sensor to measure at least one piece of biometric data from a customer during operation which is compared to a previously measured piece of reference biometric data to authenticate the request. One or more receivers receiving requests from a handheld wireless communications device accepts the requests if the requests originated from within an area having access restricted to customers meeting the desired criteria, such as minimum age. Automatic notification of a wagering results are provided. Updated cumulative totals of funds remaining in a customer's account are tracked and displayed. The system can automatically verify that sufficient funds are available to pay for such requested waters, reservations and services.
