Publication number: 20230281668Abstract: A system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a computer-implemented method for providing text message alerts. A telephony interface module receives an alert enrollment request from a client device. The alert enrollment request is received through a first type of communication channel. The alert enrollment request includes a protocol specific portion that includes a communication endpoint identifier assigned to the client device. A data database management module links the communication endpoint identifier to an opt-in record. A text message interface module communicates, based on the client device identifier being linked to the opt-in record, an alert to the client device through a second type of communication channel. The alert is addressed to the client device based on the communication endpoint identifier linked to the opt-in record.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventor: George Vincent Friborg, JR.

Patent number: 11704699Abstract: A system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a computer-implemented method for referring contacts to receive text message alerts. An accounts module receives first user data including an indicator that a first user requested to subscribe to receive text messages alerts. The account module adds, based at least on the received first user data, a first user account to a database of subscribers. A message generator module generates, using the processor in response to receiving the first user data, a first text message corresponding to an offer to subscribe to receive text message alerts. A communication module transmits to the first user the first text message corresponding to the offer to subscribe to receive text message alerts. The transmitted first text message can be forwarded to a second user.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2021Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Zeta Global Corp.Inventor: George Vincent Friborg, Jr.

Patent number: PP35702Abstract: ‘NCORNSP-028SCKL’ is a vigorous, highly-twining, climbing variety of Ipomoea batatas producing many shoots. It is distinguishable from other ornamental sweetpotato cultivars by its palmate, deeply lobed leaves with 3-5 lobes, an aggressive climbing habit, and heavily branched architecture. The chartreuse leaves, long internodes, and the plant architecture, which promotes good plant production in the greenhouse for wholesale distributors, distinguish ‘NCORNSP-028SCKL’ amongst the current ornamental sweetpotatoes in the marketplace. ‘NCORNSP-028SCKL’ exhibits very good vigor and is very well branched. ‘NCORNSP-028SCKL’ is suitable for use in vertical landscape or container plantings.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: North Carolina State UniversityInventors: George Craig Yencho, Kenneth Vincent Pecota, Christopher Heim
