摘要： Systems and methods for integrating graphic animation technologies with fantasy sports contest applications are provided. This invention enables a fantasy sports contest application to depict plays in various sporting events using graphic animation. The fantasy sports contest application may combine graphical representation of real-life elements such as, for example, player facial features, with default elements such as, for example, a generic player body, to create realistic graphic video. The fantasy sports contest application may provide links to animated videos for depicting plays on contest screens in which information associated with the plays may be displayed. The fantasy sports contest application may play the animated video for a user in response to the user selecting such a link. In some embodiment of the present invention, the fantasy sports contest application may also customize animated video based on user-supplied setup information.

摘要： A system and method for providing a corporate “co-signor” for potential purchasers of an automobile who do not meet captive lender or standard bank approval guidelines. The corporate co-signor does not sign or execute loan documents alongside the purchaser in a manner similar to co-signors in the prior art, but instead guarantees the loans that are underwritten using a “cosignloan” product implemented in agreement with a captive lender. The loan is based on a payment-to-income (PTI) basis, supported by the security provided by the corporate co-signor. The dealer will then be able to use the “cosignloan” product parameters to provide appropriate new, used, or certified pre-owned vehicles to the customer/purchaser. The corporate co-signor receives an administration fee for each loan. The administration fee, in one embodiment, is sent to a reserve account by the captive lender from the dealer booking proceeds. The reserve account is controlled by the corporate co-signor and the captive lender, and has specific debit and credit guidelines to ensure that sufficient funds are available to pay defaulted loans for a particular year until all loans booked in that year are satisfied.
