Patent number: 8224353Abstract: A trusted third party information arbiter for facilitating third party information sources, such as advertisers or data processing services, to accurately target communications to mobile device users. Illustratively, the mobile device users can control target communications through the utilization of discretion requests/permissions processed by the third party information arbiter. Furthermore, the mobile device users may further interact with the trusted third party information arbiter to provide/release additional personal information. For example, a mobile device user may be provided an increasingly rich rewards or payments that may be provisioned by discount, coupons or offers associated with existing or new product advertisements or promotional information messages.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2008Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: Aegis Mobility, Inc.Inventors: Andrew S. Wright, Swan Allan, Steven J. Williams, John J. Geyer

Publication number: 20120108219Abstract: A mobility call management service is disclosed that provides enhanced call management functionality for a wireless mobile terminal (MT). Incoming and/or outgoing calls are managed based on an assessment of the degree of motion of the MT, or other available data pertinent to the MT's physical situation, such as but not limited to it's location, movement, or rate of movement. The degree of motion or other assessment may be used to determine whether a communication can safely terminate on, originate from, or continue safely on the MT, so as to reduce or remove driver distraction.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2011Publication date: May 3, 2012Applicant: Aegis Mobility, Inc.Inventors: David John Kiddie, John Joseph Geyer, Mandy Chan

Patent number: 8160560Abstract: Systems, methods and interfaces are disclosed for managing communications associated with a mobile communication device. Mobile communication devices process environmental inputs and transmit mobile communication device context information to a communication management system. The context information may, for example, reflect the motion and/or geographic location of the mobile device, and may reflect the risk associated with using the device to handle a call or other communications session. The communication management system uses the context information, optionally in combination with communication device profiles, to determine how to manage incoming and/or ongoing calls or other communication sessions. Mobile device users may also be inhibited from initiating communication sessions.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 2008Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Assignee: Aegis Mobility, Inc.Inventors: John J. Geyer, Peter A. Featherstone, Andrew S. Wright, Mandy Chan, Stephen J. Williams

Publication number: 20100284290Abstract: A communication environment includes of one or more subscriber terminals capable of receiving and transmitting data over a communication network via a communication management system. The communication management system receives mobile communication device context information and mobile communication device identification information from the mobile communication device. The communication management system then identifies data availability profiles reflective of a prior determination of mobile communication device availability to receive data communications according to context. The communication management system then implements data filtering rules corresponding to a current data availability profile.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2010Publication date: November 11, 2010Applicant: AEGIS MOBILITY, INC.Inventor: Stephen Williams
