  • Publication number: 20240119477
    Abstract: A digital content messaging system includes one or more media sources, a beacon (either physical or virtual), a user's smart device bound to a media device using a wallet Pass, a media device, and a processing device. The user's smart device is configured for storing a unique wallet Pass. The user's smart device is also for detecting when a user is in physical proximity of the media device, and for receiving messages from a messaging system through the stored wallet Pass. The media device is for detecting a channel that the user has selected; transmitting the channel information to a server; and receiving the media from the media sources. The processing device extracts key values from the media; matches key values from the media to a key value associated with a merchant offer; and transmits a URL of a merchant offer to the user's smart device.

  • Patent number: 10972888
    Abstract: IOT device-based messaging communications systems and methods are disclosed herein. An example system includes an Internet-of-things backend system comprising IOT devices that implement proximity and physical web discovery services and implement a modified short-range wireless communication protocol stack for communicating with communication devices at a kernel level; and each of the communication devices being configured to with receive messages from the Internet-of-things backend system over a short-range wireless connection, the messages are presented to the communication devices without an application being installed on the communication devices, the modified short-range wireless communication protocol stack being configured based on a short-range wireless protocol that is active on the each of the communication devices.
