Patent number: 12211070Abstract: A system and method for sales promotions via a text-messaging with deferred text-to-call interaction comprising a call-to-action link, generated via a script contained in the header of a webpage, which reduces the number of steps needed to obtain a sales promotion via a website. The call-to-action link triggers a prepopulated text message on a user's mobile device. User response to this message initiates a routing protocol to connect the user to a seller or agent associated with the advertising company for voice-based interaction. A pre-authorization message may be sent by the chatbot with a request for authorization to access private data. In some embodiments, a deferred text-to-call feature is implemented which allows the user to make an audio connection with an advertiser at a future time.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2022Date of Patent: January 28, 2025Assignee: TAPTEXT LLCInventors: Steve Doumar, Paul Levasseur

Patent number: 12182794Abstract: A system and method for dynamic-link initiated user engagement and retention which employs a dynamic rules engine, utilizing a range of engagement rules and device-specific context to generate personalized deep links. As a user interacts with the platform, the rules engine assesses their behaviors, preferences, and past interactions. Leveraging this data, the engine constructs deep links tailored to the user's profile and device attributes. For instance, if an inactive user previously showed interest in a specific product category, the engine might craft a deep link offering an exclusive discount within that category, optimized for the user's device. These deep links are then seamlessly delivered via auto-populated text messages, emails, push notifications, or other channels. By providing direct access to enticing content, promotions, or features, the system re-engages users, enhancing customer retention and fostering active, ongoing engagement.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2024Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: TAPTEXT LLCInventors: Steve Doumar, David Teodosio

Patent number: 12158938Abstract: A system and method for establishment of a universal, secure identity for online communications, interactions, and exchanges that uniquely associates an image, sound, or other digital asset with a person's identity using non-fungible tokens (NFTs). A digital asset is stored on a blockchain as an NFT, which uniquely and immutably associates the digital asset with the account owning that digital asset, thereby establishing a unique, secure personal identifier (a “personal non-fungible token” or PNFT) of the person owning that account for online communications and interactions. Links to the PNFT (also herein called “calls to action” or CTAs) can be customized via an online platform such that interaction with a given link or type of link initiates automated actions.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2022Date of Patent: December 3, 2024Assignee: TAPTEXT LLCInventors: Steve Doumar, David Teodosio

Patent number: 12147996Abstract: A system and method for multi-channel dynamic advertisement testing. The system comprises a multi-platform adaptive ad campaign manager, a dynamic advertisement engine, a campaign database, and an omnichannel text-based communicator. The system receives customer interactions with two advertisement test variants, establishes a real-time media stream between a customer device and a second user device, and monitors the media stream to collect data related to effectiveness of the advertisement variants. The system may analyze media stream data together with a plurality of other data types to statistically determine which of the two advertisement variants resulted in better performance based on a variety of advertisement metrics. The system may use the plurality of data and the statistical analysis to suggest an advertisement element to be altered in the next round of advertisement variant testing. This system can combine data collection and analytics for an ad campaign together into one system.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2023Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: TAPTEXT LLCInventor: Steve Doumar

Patent number: 12047515Abstract: A system and method for digital petition management utilizing the establishment of a universal, secure identity for online communications, interactions, and exchanges that uniquely associates an image, sound, or other digital asset with a person's identity using non-fungible tokens (NFTs). A digital signature associated with an individual who wants to sign a digital petition is obtained and verified using one or more mechanisms to ensure that each digital signature is associated with only one individual and to maintain compliance with rules and regulations governing petitions. Links to the petition (also herein called “calls to action” or CTAs) can be customized via an online platform such that interaction with a given link or type of link initiates automated petition signature acquisition. In some implementations, the digital signature is a personal NFT (PNFT) which can be verified using a unique identifier to match with existing PNFTs stored in a distributed ledger.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2023Date of Patent: July 23, 2024Assignee: TAPTEXT LLCInventors: Steve Doumar, David Teodosio
