  • Patent number: 8447510
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems for signaling proximity of mobile devices. First activity information of a first mobile device and second activity information of a second mobile device are accumulated. A proximity boundary is established for the first mobile device. A location of the first mobile device is determined from the first activity information and a location of the second mobile device is determined from the second activity information. A determination is made whether the second mobile device is on or within the proximity boundary of the first mobile device. An alert is sent to at least the first mobile device that the proximity boundary has been breached when the second mobile device is on or within the proximity boundary of the first mobile device.

  • Patent number: 8407220
    Abstract: The disclosure details the implementation of apparatuses, methods, and systems for ambiguous code triggered information querying and serving on mobile devices. Information and/or advertisement providers may use a code triggered information server to serve context, demographic, and behavior targeted information to users via mobile devices. Users, in turn, trigger the provision of information by scanning or observing codes or information. Often, codes scanned by novice users and/or using mobile devices may be ambiguous and/or obscured. Consequently, the present system may implement disambiguation processes to the code scans so as to clarify their identity. The disambiguated scans, together with geographic, temporal, and user-specific information, are obtained by the server that receives, processes, and records the message.

  • Publication number: 20120258697
    Abstract: Systems and methods for information querying and serving on mobile devices based on ambient conditions. Conditions include weather, traffic, market prices, news and events, and the like. Information providers use a code triggered information server to serve context, demographic, and behavior-targeted information to users via mobile devices. Users obtain information by scanning or observing codes or information. The scans, together with geographic, temporal, and user-specific information, are obtained by the server that receives, processes, and records the message. Based on these messages and a user profile—which may include updated user-specific behavior information, situational and ambient information, an accumulated history of scanned code messages, and integration with outside database information—the server selects information to serve to the users' mobile devices from an information base.

  • Publication number: 20120136856
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems for information querying and serving on the internet based on profiles. Information and/or advertisement providers may use a code triggered information server to serve context, demographic, and behavior targeted information to users on the internet. Users trigger the provision of information by scanning or observing codes or information, or by selecting web links. The triggers, together with geographic, temporal, and user-specific information, are obtained by the server that receives, processes, and records the message. Based on these messages and a user profile the server selects information to serve to a user on the internet from an information base. In one embodiment, information may also be served to users without any initiating trigger. This is based on user trajectories or web-surfing habits deduced from the accumulated history of triggers.

  • Patent number: 8069168
    Abstract: The disclosure details the implementation of apparatuses, methods, and systems for information querying and serving in a virtual world based on profiles. Such virtual worlds may include, for example, massively multiplayer online games like The Sims Online, Everquest, World of Warcraft, Second Life, and/or the like. Information and/or advertisement providers may use a code triggered information server to serve context, demographic, and behavior targeted information to users in a virtual world. Users, in turn, trigger the provision of information by scanning or observing codes or information, or by making decisions within a virtual world such as attempting a mission within a game. The triggers, together with virtual world geographic, temporal, and user-specific information, are obtained by the server that receives, processes, and records the message.

  • Publication number: 20110264527
    Abstract: The present disclosure details apparatuses, methods, and systems for a code-mediated content delivery platform comprising a Graphical Code-Serving Interface and a Code Triggered Information Server (“GCSI/CTIS”). The GCSI/CTIS connects information encoding symbologies to graphical interface elements, thus expanding the useful information content and interactivity of graphical displays, advertisements, publications, broadcasts, and/or the like. GCSI/CTIS components facilitate wide ranging functionality, including generation of robust encoding symbologies, error-correction, media sampling and purchasing, social networking, and sales promotion programs.

  • Publication number: 20110258156
    Abstract: The disclosure details the implementation of apparatuses, methods, and systems for anticipatory information querying and serving on mobile devices based on profiles. Information and/or advertisement providers may use a code triggered information server to serve context, demographic, and behavior targeted information to users via mobile devices. Users register interest in the provision of information by scanning or observing codes or information. The scans, together with geographic, temporal, and user-specific information, are obtained by the server that receives, processes, and records the message. Based on these messages and a user profile—which may include continuously updated user-specific behavior information, situational and ambient information, an accumulated history of scanned code messages, and integration with outside database information—the server selects information to serve to the users' mobile devices from an information base.

  • Publication number: 20110246070
    Abstract: The disclosure details the implementation of apparatuses, methods, and systems for determining and announcing proximity between trajectories. A code triggered information server may be used to track user behavior, including trajectories, via mobile devices, on the internet, or within a virtual world. Users register their positions and/or behavior by scanning or observing codes or information. Examples of such registrations might include scanning a barcode with a cell phone, clicking on an internet link, making a decision within an online game, and/or the like. The registrations, together with geographic, temporal, and user-specific information, are obtained by the server that receives, processes, and records the message.
