Patent number: 8977234Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products for facilitating payments using low-cost barcode or RFID tags are disclosed. Such tags can be attached or affixed to physical, real-world objects thus allowing the objects to be purchased using a customer mobile device, without the need for a dedicated, on-site point-of-sale system. The tags may be constructed from paper, metal, leather, plastic or some other low-cost material. The tag allows a unique visual identifier such as a tag code to be imprinted so that it can be read using a mobile camera or other sensor enabled telephone.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2014Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: AirArts, Inc.Inventor: Ven Chava

Patent number: 8787969Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products for storing, securing, identifying, authenticating and retrieving multimedia messages using low-cost barcode or RFID tags are disclosed. Additionally, a set of software features facilitate the easy and intuitive storage and retrieval of multimedia information using a mobile telephone acting on the media tags. Such tags can be attached or affixed to physical, real-world objects thus allowing multimedia messages associated with the tags to be retrieved with the real-world objects in a time-shifted and space-shifted manner from when and where they were recorded. The present invention uses low-cost (metal, paper or plastic) tags—encoded using barcodes or RFID—as virtual message storage units and commercially-available terminals equipped with appropriate software and sensors, such as mobile telephones, as recording and reading devices.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2012Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Air Arts, Inc.Inventors: Ven Chava, Prasad Ravva

Patent number: 8045567Abstract: Network System and Method for facilitating message exchange between mobile subscribers belonging to the same or different public land mobile networks, possibly incorporating different standards. Message exchange between two subscribers of the same or different networks may involve one or more lookups on subscription data, zero or more message transformations, one or more routing decisions including application of costing functions, and, storage and propagation of the message in one or more Core or Intermediary networks. The messages may be of type, among others, SMS (Short Message Service), MMS (Multimedia Message Service), or EMAIL.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2005Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: Sybase 365, Inc.Inventors: Venkatesh (Ven) Chava, Christian Zimmern, Robert Lovell, Kirk Tsai

Patent number: 8019362Abstract: Systems and methods for assigning a short codes to provide uniformity among wireless carriers. In the systems and methods, a Universal Short Code (USC) Administrator maintains a list of short codes and their lease status so that SMS messages sent to a particular short code may be routed to the proper holder of the short code. A network facilitator is in communication with both the USC Administrator and at least one wireless carrier to route the SMS message to the proper holder of the short code. The short code may be leased for a specified period of time so that the short code can be reassigned after expiration of the lease.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2003Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: Sybase 365, Inc.Inventors: Phillip J. Sweatman, Robert Lovell, Venkatesh (Ven) Chava, Christian Zimmern
