  • Patent number: 9009336
    Abstract: A computing device determines impactful content in transmittable content. The computing device assigns the impactful content in the transmittable content to one or more impactful block units. Each impactful block unit comprises a determined numbers of characters. The computing device extracts the one or more impactful block units from the transmittable content. The computing device places the one or more impactful block units at the end of the transmittable content. The computing device transmits the transmittable content to a plurality of intended recipients. Each character, or a small packet set of sequential characters, of the determined number of characters of the one or more impactful block units is transmitted using a time delay for a particular intended recipient and a pacing method. The one or more impactful block units are to be received substantially simultaneously by the plurality of intended recipients.

  • Patent number: 8892765
    Abstract: A method for facilitating substantially simultaneous receipt of content included in at least one document by a plurality of intended recipients is disclosed. At least one portion of impactful content is delimited in the at least one document to define at least one impactful block (IBlock). A remaining portion of content is delimited to define at least one non-impactful block (NIBlock). The least one IBlock is transmitted to be received substantially simultaneously by the plurality of intended recipients.

  • Patent number: 8892759
    Abstract: A computing device determines impactful content in transmittable content. The computing device assigns the impactful content to one or more impactful block units. Each impactful block unit comprises a determined numbers of characters and an impactful block of characters comprises one or more impactful block units. The computing device inserts an identifier associated with the impactful content into the transmittable content proximal to the impactful block of characters. The identifier causes a message concerning a financial-related action to be communicated to a plurality of intended recipients when one or more conditions are met. The computing device transmits the one or more impactful block units and the identifier to the plurality of intended recipients using a time delay for a particular intended recipient and a pacing method such that the impactful block units are received substantially simultaneously by the plurality of intended recipients.
