Patent number: 11496570Abstract: A system is configured to provide managed services for deployment of shared tangible objects by an operator. The system includes cloud resources provided by the system administrator. In one embodiment, the cloud resources include a sharable-object command module configured to communicate signals employed in activating shared tangible objects for use when the end user is successfully authorized by the device activation module. The system includes an API provided by the system administrator. The API is configured to facilitate a communication of object activation signals from the sharable-object command module to allow the end user to use the shared tangible object. The same API is employed to facilitate the communication of object activation signals for different types of shared tangible objects that can be provided in different vertical markets.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2021Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: Omnicharge, Inc.Inventor: Gavin Gray

Patent number: 10524118Abstract: A method to engage an individual with digital content to activate a device to deliver a service. The device is configured to operate in at least one state in which the device is configured to provide the service. The method includes: wirelessly receiving, with the device operating in a first state that prevents a delivery of the service, a request from a requestor to activate the device to provide the service; offering the requestor an opportunity to place the device in a second state following their engagement with the digital content, the device configured to provide the service when in the second state; if the requestor chooses to engage with the digital content, wirelessly communicating digital content for engagement by the requestor; and changing the state of the device to the second state to allow the device to be used to provide the service following a completion of the engagement.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2019Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: Omnicharge, Inc.Inventors: Gavin Gray, Jennie Souiade, Bryan Bozzi
