Patent number: 11966909Abstract: A computing device provides enhancement of the capabilities of text messaging applications that execute on user devices. The computing device includes a processor that receives a text message via a network from a user device, the text message including a character representation of a product bundle of a merchant. The processor determines bundle data for the product bundle by referencing a database using the character representation. The processor provides one or more text messages via the network to the user device with transaction data including the bundle data, payment data, and shipping data. The processor receives a text message via the network from the user device confirming the transaction data. The user may use text commands presented by the computing device or natural language conversation in the text messages to the computing device to modify the transaction data and perform other ecommerce actions.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Stodge Inc.Inventors: Gavin Neil Foster, Jr., David Dennison Lacho, Brian James Swank, Vishak Swaminathan Visvanathan, Adam Sandstrom Turner, Colin Douglas Turner, Alex Elias Beller

Publication number: 20240066174Abstract: A diffuser made of thermoform molded pulp in a desired shape, such as a hanging ornament, having features to secure a wicking part of the diffuser to a rounded bottle opening filled with an oil fragrance. To insert the diffuser, a cap is unscrewed from a bottle filled with oil fragrance, and the wicking part is inserted through the opening of the bottle until it rests on the interior bottom of the bottle. A rotatable capping feature is featured at the top of the wicking part, which is closed during insertion of the wicking part to prevent accidental spillage and loss oil due to evaporation. The wicking element draws the oil fragrance into the ornamental diffusing part by capillary action.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: John Christopher Krolopp, John DeCosmo, Gregory James Foster
