Publication number: 20170103410Abstract: A network based indoor positioning and geofencing system and method is described. Beacons are disposed within a physical premises and each beacon transmits a signal containing identifying information. A networked indoor positioning module receives measured reference points that include a measured beacon identifier and a measured signal strength. The networked indoor positioning module uses the measured reference points to generate calculated signal strength values for at least one detected beacon. At least one geofence is associated with the physical premises and the geofence includes some of the calculated signal strength values. A wireless device receives a beacon identifier and a beacon signal strength, when the wireless device is in or near a geofence associated the physical premises.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2016Publication date: April 13, 2017Applicant: NEXRF, CORP.Inventors: MICHAEL A. KERR, David Stewart

Patent number: 9507494Abstract: A content management system for associating content with user attributes and delivering targeted content to a wireless handset is described. The content management system comprises a database, a wireless handset, and a terminal. The database is configured to store a plurality of user profiles, a plurality of content items, and a plurality of content connections that connect content items to user profile data. The wireless handset presents a first interface that enables the wireless handset user to create and edit a user profile comprising one or more user attributes. The user profile is stored in the database. The terminal presents a second interface to a content administrator. The second interface enables the content administrator to create and edit content items. The content items are stored in the database. Content connections associate one or more user attributes with a content item.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2011Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: NEXRF, CORP.Inventors: Michael Kerr, David Stewart

Patent number: 9501786Abstract: An interactive display system is described. The interactive display system comprises a display, a server and a wireless handset communicatively coupled to a wide area network. The system further comprises at least one transmitter configured to transmit a signal. The wireless handset is configured to receive a signal from the at least one transmitter and send signal strength information for the at least one transmitter to the server. The server is configured to determine whether the wireless handset is within a predefined viewing area of the display. The display is configured to present a content item when the wireless handset is within the predefined viewing area.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2011Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: NEXRF, CORP.Inventors: Michael A. Kerr, David Stewart

Patent number: 8942995Abstract: A system and method for generating a mobile autonomous dynamic graphical user interface is described. An illustrative system comprises a location-capable component, a user preference module, a server, a means for generating a display menu, and a wireless formatting engine. The location-capable component determines a location for a wireless device. The user preference module includes a variety of user preferences. The server selects targeted content based on the user preferences and the location of the wireless device. The selected content includes at least one user selectable menu button. A display menu is generated that includes the user selectable button. The wireless formatting engine formats the display menu and selected content for the wireless device.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2009Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Assignee: NEXRF, Corp.Inventor: Michael A. Kerr

Patent number: 8747229Abstract: A gaming server system is described, the gaming server system including a verification system, a memory module, a centralized gaming server, and a paytable module. The verification system is configured to access a registration database having registration data for registered users. The memory module is configured to store images corresponding to at least one game outcome, with the images communicated to the network access devices. The paytable module is associated with the centralized gaming server, and it is configured to determine one or more prizes associated with a game outcome. The centralized gaming server is configured to generate at least one random game outcome by random generation at the centralized gaming server, and configured to access the memory module and communicate the images corresponding to the random game outcome to the network access devices.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2010Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: NEXRF, Corp.Inventor: Michael A.

Patent number: 8738024Abstract: A system and method for delivering content within a boundary is described. The system includes a plurality of beacons, a location positioning module, and a networked component. The beacons transmit a signal containing identifying information. The location positioning module receives the beacon signal data communication from a wireless device. The location positioning module receives measured reference points that include a measured beacon identifier and a measured signal strength. The location positioning module uses the measured reference points to generate calculated signal strength values for at least one detected beacon, wherein some of the calculated signal strength values are associated with a geographic boundary. The location positioning module determines the location of the wireless device by comparing the beacon signal data to the calculated signal strength values.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2010Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: NEXRF, Corp.Inventors: Michael A. Kerr, David Stewart
