Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for controlling services provided at a first electronic device at a second electronic device. A plurality of electronic devices connected to a network provide services in the form of providing data to the network, or allowing the data to be manipulated. Each service is represented as a manipulable data object created at the device providing the service. Each object contains sufficient information to allow the service the object represents to be controlled. The objects are transmitted over the network and are stored in an object list maintained by a master device. Any compatible device may then retrieve an object from the object list and use the information contained in it to fully control the service.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method are disclosed that include generating a set of primary game outcomes with each primary game outcome being associated with a result in a primary game. A set of progressive prize bearing outcomes are associated with the set of first game outcomes according to a progressive win frequency rule. Each progressive prize bearing record is associated with a progressive win indicator and a progressive prize. A primary game outcome is determined in response to a game play request by a player. If the primary game outcome is associated with a winning result, the player is provided a corresponding award; independent of the primary game result, if the primary game outcome is associated with one of the progressive prize bearing records, the player is awarded a corresponding progressive prize.

Abstract: Computer-readable media, computerized methods, and computer systems for conducting semantic processes to present search results that include highlighted regions which are relevant to a conceptual meaning of a query are provided. Initially, content of document(s) is accessed and semantic representations are derived by distilling linguistic representations from the content. These semantic representations may be stored at a semantic index. Also, a proposition is derived from the query by parsing search terms of the query, and distilling the proposition from the search terms. Typically, the proposition is a logical representation of the conceptual meaning of the query. The proposition is compared against the semantic representations at the semantic index to identify a matching set. Regions of the content within the document, from which the matching set of semantic representations are derived, are targeted. Accordingly, highlighting may be applied to the targeted regions when presenting or displaying the search results.

Abstract translation: 提供了用于进行语义处理以呈现包括与查询的概念意义相关的突出显示区域的搜索结果的计算机可读介质，计算机化方法和计算机系统。 最初，访问文档的内容，并通过从内容中提取语言表示来导出语义表示。 这些语义表示可以存储在语义索引中。 此外，通过解析查询的搜索条件，并从搜索词中提取命题，从查询中导出命题。 通常，命题是查询的概念意义的逻辑表示。 将该命题与语义索引处的语义表示进行比较，以识别匹配集。 目标是从文档中导出匹配的语义表示集合的内容的区域。 因此，当呈现或显示搜索结果时，突出显示可以应用于目标区域。

Abstract: A progressive gaming method includes producing a set of game records with each game record being associated with a result in a game. Progressive prize bearing records are included in the set of game records according to a progressive win frequency rule. Each progressive prize bearing record is associated with a progressive win indicator and a progressive prize. After producing the game record set, the method includes assigning game records from the game record set to a number of players. Each game record is assigned to a respective player in response to a game play request associated with the respective player. The method also includes awarding a progressive prize to the respective player to whom a progressive prize bearing record is assigned in response to a game play request.

Abstract: A processing device measures the time it takes for a player to take some action in a game and bases the award or result in the game for the player at least in part on that measured time. A player receives a more desirable result or outcome for a particular game play in response to a shorter player action time and/or receives a less desirable result or outcome for a particular game play in response to a longer player action time. Providing more desirable results for shorter player action times or less desirable results for longer player action times provides players an incentive that influences them to take the appropriate player actions more quickly.

Abstract translation: 处理装置测量玩家在游戏中采取某些动作所花费的时间，并至少部分地基于该测量时间将玩家的奖励或结果作为游戏的基础。 响应于较短的游戏者动作时间，玩家接收特定游戏的更理想的结果或结果，和/或响应于较长玩家动作时间而接收到针对特定游戏的较不理想的结果或结果。 为更短的玩家行动时间提供更理想的结果，或者对于较长的玩家行动时间而言，不太理想的结果为玩家提供了激励，从而影响他们更快地采取适当的玩家动作。

Abstract: A method for conducting bingo games includes using a server to collect game play requests from a plurality of electronic player stations. The server determines if a group of the collected game play requests meets one or more predefined conditions for establishing a quorum, and if so conducts a game with the group of game play requests. Even after the game is started, the server continues to collect game play requests in preparation for conducting additional games. When enough game play requests are collected, the server starts the next game, even if previous games are still in progress.

Abstract translation: 用于进行宾果游戏的方法包括使用服务器从多个电子播放器站收集游戏播放请求。 服务器确定一组收集的游戏播放请求是否满足一个或多个用于建立法定人数的预定义条件，如果是，则执行游戏组播放请求的游戏。 即使在游戏开始之后，服务器也继续收集玩游戏请求，准备进行额外的游戏。 当收集足够的游戏播放请求时，服务器启动下一个游戏，即使以前的游戏仍在进行中。

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described for a game play sequence for an electronic bingo gaming system. The electronic bingo gaming system includes a number of player stations that players may use to participate in a bingo game and a game server for implementing/carrying out the game play sequence. The sequence begins by splitting a ball draw for a bingo game into a first portion and a final portion. A series of potential game ending winning players may be identified. The first potential game ending winning player in the series who makes the appropriate inputs in response to their receiving the first portion of the ball draw and the final portion of the ball draw, receives a prize in the bingo game.
