Patent number: 7386518Abstract: A system for facilitating a transaction between a first party and a second party is controlled by a trusted third party system and is programmed to carry out the method by receiving the first party's instructions for fulfilling at least a part of the first party's obligations in said transaction. The system communicates with the second party and provides the second party with perceptible assurance that the second party is in communication with a trusted third party system through the system. The system transmits information to the second party to provide assurance that the first party's instructions have been or will be fulfilled. Thus trust in the third party is transferred to the first party and the second party can trust that the first party's obligations have been or will be fulfilled.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2003Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: Pitney Bowes Inc.Inventors: Robert A. Cordery, Christopher C. Lang, Brian M. Romansky, Anand V. Chhatpar, Thomas J. Foth, Matthew J. Campagna, Jill Boncek

Patent number: 7369681Abstract: A system and method including cameras for monitoring objects such as documents, at multiple locations, and for recording the objects' movement through space and time. The objects are marked with unique identifiers, and the invention is adaptable for recording and recognizing the objects' development using character recognition. A center receives the information from the cameras, and that information is searchable. Advantageously, the unique identifiers are printed with ink that is invisible unless it fluoresces or phosphoresces, the digital cameras include an ultraviolet flash to cause the identifiers to fluoresce or phosphoresce at a certain wavelength, and the cameras are equipped with filters to filter out wavelengths other than the certain wavelength. Packages or pads of pre-marked blank paper are adaptable for use with the present invention.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2003Date of Patent: May 6, 2008Assignee: Pitney Bowes Inc.Inventors: Thomas J. Foth, Brian M. Romansky, Christopher C. Lang, Anand V. Chhatpar

Patent number: 7176900Abstract: A system and method that allows one to mark information with a pencil or conductive ink on paper equipped with a RFID type circuit, and have the marked information provided to the RFID circuit, or have the written information cause the RFID circuit to perform some function. The marked entered information may be corrected by erasing the written information with a pencil eraser and writing new information on the paper with a pencil. Information may also be marked into a RFID circuit or have the marked information cause the RFID circuit to perform some function by utilizing a standard ink jet computer printer to print lines on paper equipped with a RFID type circuit, by having the printed lines perform the function of wires. The aforementioned printed information may be modified by having an individual connect different printed wires by drawing a penciled line between the wires or by punching holes in the printed lines.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2003Date of Patent: February 13, 2007Assignee: Pitney Bowes Inc.Inventors: Brian M. Romansky, Thomas J. Foth, Jeffrey D. Pierce, Andrei Obrea, Anand V. Chhatpar

Patent number: 7042336Abstract: A remote control device that is combined with a modified RFID circuit that allows an individual to enter information into different types of equipment. When an individual touches graphite contacts on the modified RFID circuit with his/her finger, the circuit will activate a RFID reader causing an action on another device.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2003Date of Patent: May 9, 2006Assignee: Pitney Bowes Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey D. Pierce, Brian M. Romansky, Thomas J. Foth, Anand V. Chhatpar

Patent number: 6869021Abstract: A system and method that allows one to mark information with a pencil on a label equipped with a RFID type circuit, and have the marked information provided to the RFID circuit, or have the written information cause the RFID circuit to supply information regarding the goods that are contained in a individual container. Individual containers may be placed in a larger container. The marked entered information may be corrected by erasing the written information with a pencil eraser and writing new information on the paper with a pencil. Information may also be marked into a RFID circuit or have the marked information cause the RFID circuit to perform some function by utilizing a standard ink jet computer printer to print lines on paper equipped with a RFID type circuit, by having the printed lines perform the function of wires.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2003Date of Patent: March 22, 2005Assignee: Pitney Bowes Inc.Inventors: Thomas J.

Patent number: 6805291Abstract: A method that allows one to mark information with a pencil on a material equipped with a RFID type circuit, and have the marked information stored in a RFID circuit that is a component of a personal identification system and/or a document identification system. The marked entered information may be corrected by erasing the written information with a pencil eraser and writing new information on paper with a pencil. Information may also be marked into a RFID circuit and have the marked information stored in the RFID circuit by utilizing a standard ink jet computer printer to print lines on paper equipped with a RFID type circuit, by having the printed lines perform the function of wires.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2003Date of Patent: October 19, 2004Assignee: Pitney Bowes Inc.Inventors: Anand V. Chhatpar, Jeffrey D. Pierce, Brian M. Romansky, Thomas J. Foth, Andrei Obrea

Publication number: 20040075348Abstract: A method that allows a circuit attached to a material, i.e., paper, to be controlled by performing a switching function by drawing lines on the paper with a pencil. The drawn connections may be changed by erasing the drawn connections with a pencil eraser and writing new connections on the paper with a pencil. Connections may also be drawn into a circuit or have the drawn connections cause the circuit to perform some function by utilizing a standard ink jet printer or laser printer to print lines on paper equipped with a circuit, by having the printed lines perform the function of wires.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2003Publication date: April 22, 2004Applicant: Pitney Bowes IncorporatedInventors: Andrei Obrea, Brian M. Romansky, Thomas J. Foth, Jeffrey D. Pierce, Anand V. Chhatpar
