Patent number: 12561666Abstract: A system and method for a dynamic-link verification process between an electronic device and a transaction or event. The first step is engagement by a mobile electronic device with an initiator that is linked with a specific verification event that triggers a text message to auto-populate on a mobile electronic device. The message comprising metadata about the user and the event or transaction. The second step is for the electronic device to send the auto-populated message to a message gateway thus initiating the verification of the user. The message gateway works with a management service and one or more databases to verify the identity and other aspects of the user based on instructions provided by the event host. Additionally, configurable access tokens may be generated for each verified user wherein the access tokens provide access to an event or controlled physical location based on the configuration.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2023Date of Patent: February 24, 2026Assignee: TAPTEXT LLCInventors: Steve Doumar, David Teodosio

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
