Patent number: 10333997Abstract: A subscriber to a universal point of contact service designates a preferred point of contact at which a communication initiator, such as a telephone caller, can contact the subscriber. Such an initiator desiring to contact the subscriber uses the subscriber's email address to establish a communication session with a device associated with the subscriber's preferred point of contact. The subscriber's email address is input to an initiating device, preferably a telephone or facsimile machine, using an entry device capable of entering an email address. A requestor unit, receiving the email address, locates a repository of the subscriber's point of contact information, and requests that information. The repository sends the point of contact information the subscriber has designated as preferred, and the requestor unit uses that information to control a telephone switch to establish a communication session between the initiating device and the subscriber's preferred point of contact device.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2016Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: Ayman LLCInventors: Ayman Hariri, Scott Birnbaum

Patent number: 7092498Abstract: A universal point of contact identifier system calling device facilitates a connection between a caller and a call recipient over a telephone network by communicating with a universal point of contact identifier system server. The calling device includes a keyboard, a display, a circuit to make a telephone call and transmit and receive digital data over the network, a memory unit and a micro-controller to control the functions of the device. The keyboard facilitates the entry of an identifier, e.g., an email address, into the memory unit of the device. After entry of the identifier, the circuit connects the device with the server and transmits the identifier to the server. The server utilizes the identifier to establish a connection over the network between the caller and call recipient.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2002Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: Ayman, LLCInventors: Ayman Hariri, Scott D.

Publication number: 20050289474Abstract: Methods for controlling the display of information shared between users are disclosed. For example, an individual may agree to share his or her contact information with other users, for example, by exchanging one or more vCards of which the individual is considered the owner. The owner has a first relationship with a first user and a second relationship with a second user. Using dynamic electronic presentation skins, which are selected based on the relationships between the parties, the owner's contact information is presented to the first user in a first fashion and presented to the second user in a second fashion. If the relationship between the owner and the first and/or second user changes, a different dynamic presentation skin can be applied to the owner's contact information in the form of a vCard to alter the presentation of the information contained therein.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2004Publication date: December 29, 2005Inventors: Adarbad Master, Nigel Simmons, Ayman Hariri
