Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are described herein for replicating a real world experience consuming a product or service to advertise products or services. Data from sensors on mobile devices, tablets, computers, etc. may be read and translated into data corresponding to an action. A user of the computing device (e.g., mobile phone, tablet, computer, etc.) performs a required action by activating the appropriate sensors, which may provide the user with a benefit, reward, or incentive. The action taken by the user represents a real world activity that a user would normally perform when consuming a product or service. Advertisers are charged once the actions associated with consuming the product or service have been performed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein that allow computing device users to send and receive encapsulated messages, such a greeting cards, consolidating input from more than one user into a single greeting card. Sensors on a computing device, such as a smartphone, may be used to simulate an action that triggers an encapsulated message to be transmitted or retrieved.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein that allow computing device users to send and receive encapsulated messages through text messaging. Message encapsulation formats are defined that mimic real-world scenarios. Sensors on a computing device, such as a smartphone, may be used to simulate an action that triggers an encapsulated message to be transmitted or retrieved.
