20130031162 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MEDIA SELECTION BASED ON SOCIAL METADATA - The present application is directed to methods and systems for providing social interaction within a customized media streaming service. In one aspect, the present application is directed to methods and systems for automated playlist generation based on social metadata. These systems allow for an internet media delivery service to learn about a user's preferences, and changes in those preferences over time, without the user being required to tell the service directly, but rather through social networking profiles and relationships to one or more similar or related users. This allows the service to immediately, without any input from the listener, play programming that is likely to be enjoyed by the user. It also allows the service to learn about changes in a listener's preferences over time without requiring the user to actively express the preferences. | 01-31-2013 |

20130016173 | VIDEO-ASSISTED SELF-SERVICE TRANSACTION DEVICE - While performing or initiating a transaction with a self-service video transaction device, a user may interact with a video agent and a terminal associated therewith. Video and/or audio functionalities may be enabled or disabled based on a length of a wait time to connect to a video agent. If the wait time exceeds a predetermined threshold, video and/or audio functionalities may be disabled, and the self-service device may generate a display indicating that video and/or audio functionalities are unavailable. If the wait time does not exceed the predetermined threshold, video and/or audio functionalities may be enabled, and the self-service device may generate a display indicating that video and/or audio functionalities are available. | 01-17-2013 |
20130018788 | VIDEO-ASSISTED SELF-SERVICE TRANSACTION DEVICE - While performing or initiating a transaction with a self-service video transaction device, a user may interact with a video agent and a terminal associated therewith. An error may occur during the transaction. In response to detecting the error, video agent(s) having video or audio functionalities to service the error may be identified. Servicing the error may also be based on a length of a wait time to connect to an appropriate video agent. If the wait time exceeds a predetermined threshold, an error receipt identifying the error and other information may be printed by the self-service video transaction device. If the wait time does not exceed the predetermined threshold, a display device of the self-service video transaction device may display an option for the user to connect to the video agent terminal. | 01-17-2013 |

In some arrangements, the contribution destination(s) associated with a geographic location will be transmitted to any transaction devices associated with the same geographic location. The contribution destinations may then be presented to a user or customer with a request for a gift or donation to one or more of the contribution destinations via the transaction device or system (e.g., during the course of another transaction initiated by the user). | 04-30-2015 |
20150142647 | Consumer Bill-Pay - A self-service financial transaction device may include a processor and a non-transitory memory communicatively coupled to the processor. The non-transitory memory may be configured to store instructions that, when executed, may cause the processor to request access to a liability account associated with a customer of the financial institution. Upon receiving access to the liability account, the instructions may cause the processor to receive information about a payment received at the self-service financial transaction device that may be applied, at least in part, toward an outstanding balance of the liability account. The processor may then communicate information about the received payment to the financial institution, where the payment may be applied towards an outstanding balance of the liability account. | 05-21-2015 |
