  • Publication number: 20110055005
    Abstract: An ad delivery and payment system over a wide area network wherein a system server which transmits ads to end users via their mobile devices who then completes a sales transactions for a good or service at the advertiser's store. The system server then reviews the advertiser's sales transactions database for customers names that match the names of end users who received the ads. The system includes an end user database that contains a plurality of end users signed up for the service and an advertiser's database containing a plurality of advertisers signed up for the service. When an ad is delivered to an end user, the name of the end user the nature of the ad and the name of the end user is recorded in the advertiser's ad delivery folder. When a customer completes a sales transaction using his or her credit or debit card, the name of the customer and the purchased product(s) or service(s) are recorded in the advertiser's sales transaction folder.

  • Patent number: 6758812
    Abstract: An emergency medical treatment system that uses medical information recorded in a user file by a central computer connected to a wide area network. The system is designed to be used with a recording and monitoring health and physical fitness system that automatically sends the parameter information from a sensor worn by a subscriber to a central computer. The wireless communication unit is able to connect to a wireless communication network which, in turn, connects to a wide area network. A central computer is connected to a wide area network that is able to continuously download the physiological parameter information from the wireless communication unit via the wireless communication network. The central computer uses a health information recording software program to create a continuously updated subscriber's medical database containing current and historical medical information.

  • Patent number: 6502020
    Abstract: An ongoing driving habit monitoring system used by insurance companies to more accurately determine the driving habits of their policyholders or authorized drivers to more accurately determine their risk of loss. The system uses a monitoring device located in the insured party's motor vehicle. Each monitoring device is coupled to a GPS receiver, that provides physical location information, and to a wireless modem capable of connecting to a wireless communication network. The system also includes a central computer connected to a wide area network that is able to continuously or intermittently receive movement information from the monitoring device as it travels in a specific region covered by the wireless communication network. The central computer uses a driving monitoring software program and several ancillary databases containing roadway information for a region, route information, and traffic pattern information.

  • Publication number: 20020111201
    Abstract: A location-based game system for players over a wide region that uses location information transmitted from their wireless devices to a wide area computer network. Information from the wide area computer network can be downloaded to other players to determine the physical location of the players participating in the game. The location-based game system includes a location-based game software program preferably loaded into the memory of a central computer coupled to the wide area computer network that control the game and monitors the action and location of the players. During the game, data from each wireless device is uploaded to a player databank on the central computer. In one embodiment, each player wears a laser beam activated sensor at which their opponents shoot. Each sensor is coupled to a wireless device that uploads the number of “hits” recorded by the sensor to the wide area computer network. A central computer records the number of hits recorded by the sensor.

  • Patent number: 6295492
    Abstract: A system for transmitting, collecting and displaying diagnostic and operational information from one or more motor vehicles to a central server connected to a wide area network. The system is designed to be used with an existing on-board diagnostic system found in most motor vehicles manufactured today. The system includes a translator device capable of translating the codes from an on-board diagnostic connector into computer readable files such as ASCII files. The translator device may be connected to an on-board computer that includes a wireless modem capable of connecting to a wireless communication network and eventually to a wide area network. A central server is connected to the wide area network which receives and stores information from the on-board computer. Authorized users may connect to central server via the wide area network and request information therefrom regarding selected motor vehicles. All of the information may be presented in a single interface.
