20140039977 | CONTACT CENTER DATA VISUALIZATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A data visualisation system is disclosed that includes a retrieval component, a display component, and a contour generator. The retrieval component is configured to retrieve data representing interactions between customers and the merchant, and to construct a finite set of data values from the retrieved data. The display component is configured to display a graphical representation of a merchant and a graphical representation of each of the set of data values represented as data points. The contour generator is configured to generate and display one or more contour lines at least partly around each data point to form a contoured surface, in which the areas of representation around each data point are shown in a series of contour lines, and the nature of the contour lines gradually fans away from each data point. Each data point is vertex of the contoured surface. | 02-06-2014 |
20120223963 | DATA VISUALISATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A data visualisation system is disclosed that includes a data value memory, a display, and contour generator. The data value memory maintains a finite set of data values. The display is arranged to display a representation of each data value centered on respective data points. The contour generator is arranged to generate and display a representation having a cross-sectional shape of a bell-shaped curve in which each data point is displayed as an apex of the bell-shaped curve. Also disclosed is a method of data visualisation and a data visualisation computer program. | 09-06-2012 |
20120210013 | DATA TRANSFER SYSTEM AND METHOD - A method is disclosed of data transfer between a source computer and multiple target computers. The method includes: transmitting a multi-media formatted transmission from the source computer over a first network to a server configured to receive the multi-media formatted transmission; extracting a data stream from the multi-media formatted transmission; transmitting the data stream in an Internet format over a second network to the target computers, the target computers each configured to receive the data stream in a finite set of protocols over the second network, the finite set of protocols including Internet protocols but excluding multi-media protocols; and extracting data from the data stream and reformatting the extracted data into a multi-media format at each target computer, wherein each target computer is able to reformat the extracted data into different multi-media formats. | 08-16-2012 |
20110314125 | DATA TRANSFER SYSTEM AND METHOD - A method is disclosed of data transfer between a source computer and multiple target computers. The method includes: receiving a user data and format request from one or more target computers; transmitting a multi-media formatted transmission from the source computer over a first network to a server configured to receive the multi-media formatted transmission; extracting a data stream from the multi-media formatted transmission; transmitting the data stream in an Internet format over a second network to the target computers, the target computers each configured to receive the data stream in a finite set of protocols over the second network, the finite set of protocols including Internet protocols but excluding multi-media protocols; and extracting data from the data stream and reformatting the extracted data into a multi-media format at each target computer, wherein each target computer is able to reformat the extracted data into different multi-media formats. | 12-22-2011 |
20110016230 | DATA TRANSFER SYSTEM AND METHOD - A method is disclosed of data transfer between a source computer and multiple target computers. The method includes: transmitting a multi-media formatted transmission from the source computer over a first network to a server configured to receive the multi-media formatted transmission in more than one protocol; converting the multi-media formatted transmission into a data stream in an Internet format by extracting the data stream from the multi-media formatted transmission; transmitting the data stream in the Internet format over a second network to the target computers, the target computers each configured to receive the data stream in a finite set of protocols over the second network, the finite set of protocols including Internet protocols but excluding multi-media protocols; and extracting data from the data stream and reformatting the extracted data into a multi-media format at each target computer, wherein each target computer is able to reformat the extracted data into different multi-media formats, since the reformatting is occurring at each target computer individually. | 01-20-2011 |
20100268662 | CONTACT CENTER DATA VISUALIZATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A data visualisation system is disclosed that includes an interaction database, a retrieval component, a display component, and a contour generator. The interaction database is maintained in a computer memory of interaction data representing interactions between customers and at least one merchant. The retrieval component is configured to retrieve from the interaction database data representing interactions between customers and the merchant, and to construct a finite set of data values from the retrieved data. The display component is configured to display a graphical representation of a merchant and a graphical representation of each of the set of data values centered on respective data points disposed on a representation of a bell-shaped curve. The contour generator configured to generate and display one or more contour lines at least partly around each data point to form a bell-shaped curve, in which the areas of representation around each data point are shown in a series of contour lines, and the nature of the contour lines for each data point are preferably represented to gradually drop off or fan away from each data point, wherein each data point is displayed as a local maximum at an apex of the bell-shaped curve. | 10-21-2010 |
20090275411 | COORDINATING GROUP PLAY EVENTS FOR MULTIPLE GAME DEVICES - Techniques are described for providing group play bonus events with multiple game devices. A group play bonus event is initiated based in part on the occurrence of a group play bonus event trigger. End users of game devices participate in an initiated group play bonus event if the end users qualify to participate in the group play bonus event at the time of the occurrence of the group play bonus event trigger. In some situations, group play bonus events are initiated by the occurrence of a randomly generated group play bonus event trigger. | 11-05-2009 |
20090275410 | FACILITATING GROUP PLAY WITH MULTIPLE GAME DEVICES - Techniques are describe for providing group play events with multiple game devices. Group play events are triggered by any game device that qualifies to participate, so that when any qualifying game device triggers a group play event, all qualifying game devices participate in the group play event. In some situations, a probability for triggering a group play event is adjusted to accommodate for a dynamically changing number of game devices that qualify over time. | 11-05-2009 |
20090207173 | CONTACT CENTER DATA VISUALIZATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A data visualisation system including a data value memory in which is maintained a finite set of data values, each data value associated with at least one time value, a display arranged to display a representation of each data value centered on respective data points, and a contour generator arranged to generate and display a contoured representation around each data point such that each data point is displayed as a local maximum. The present invention encompasses a data visualisation method and a data visualisation computer program. | 08-20-2009 |
20090069087 | PLAYER GAMING CONSOLE, GAMING MACHINE, NETWORKED GAMING SYSTEM AND METHOD - Games, networked gaming systems, gaming machines and methods are disclosed that provide various player-centric games and rewards to the casino patrons. | 03-12-2009 |
