Patent number: 11888806Abstract: A method and system for electronically communicating with a user knowing only a unique identifier associated with that user is described. An electronic message having an address based upon the unique identifier and consistent with an assigned convention is sent from a portable device and received by a server system. The message sent may include attachments such as, for example, pictures, audio and/or video files. The server system includes or is capable of accessing an electronic repository in which a plurality of unique identifiers are respectively associated with a corresponding plurality of profiles. Upon receipt at the server system, the message and any attachments are stored in association with a profile corresponding to the unique identifier. The server system then facilitates access to the message information and any attachments in accordance with the profile.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2022Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Events.com, Inc.Inventors: Frederick Mitchell Thrower, III, Andrew Michael Phipps

Publication number: 20230421524Abstract: A communication system in which a plurality of unique identifiers (license plates) from certain defined classes of unique identifiers (i.e. license plates) are converted into electronic addresses enabling digital communication, content, and commerce to be transferred to the associated address. A verified rightful holder of the unique identifier can claim rights which can grant access to the digital data that has been transferred to the assigned electronic address. A sender, without knowing the identity of the holder of the unique identifier, may communicate a message to the converted corresponding electronic address in the hopes that the holder will claim the email address through a verification process. A central domain repository may be used to determine and publish a uniform convention for the unique identifier, to establish a standard that is universal.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventor: Andrew Michael PHIPPS
