Both of those technologies are useful.

To extort money yes, they are !!!

However, technological they are both trivial and any highschool student
with average computer skills would come with such an idea in minutes of
thinking if he had to solve the same problems.

When such trivial ideas get patented this is NOT encouraging innovation but
stifling it. There was no huge amounts of money/time/intelligence involved
in this patents. For any average individual to come up with such kind of
idea should be a 3 to 5 minute thinking. No need to protect with hundreds
of million claim a minute of thinking. Ideas way way way more valuables are
in public domain and asking for millions for a minute of work which anyone
can do it, it is just hypocrisy. Therefore, rewarding such trivial patents
it is a way to encourage extortionism and nothing else.
If the original "inventors" spent years of "work" to come up with such idea
then he is obviously well well well bellow average. And in this case
rewarding his "work" with a patent is just a way to reward stupidity
against intelligence.

Any way. It is plain wrong. The system is failing us and far away from
encouraging innovation it destroy it.
