Abstract: A message system permits a commercial subscriber to create and store a message accessible by a consumer having the system application installed on his personal communication device for machine readable redemption at a point-of-sale or other redemption center. The system logs the redemption and activates rebates or payments from the commercial subscriber to the point-of-sale or other redemption center, in accordance with any agreement which may exist between the redemption center and the commercial subscriber.

Abstract: A global push-to-communicate system supports communication between any two or more devices with one another by a simple push-to-activate operation. Users create and send text, voice and graphic messages to other users on the system anywhere in the world where data transmission via the Internet or other networks is available. The application may be installed on any digital communication device and permits multiple format messages to be reconfigured into a data stream so that the multiple components may be sent in a single message packet. This includes a cell phone, personal digital assistant (pda), computer, television, radio, interactive displays and the like. All messages are digitized and sent over the network. Voice, text, video, still images, graphics, gps data, mapping and other message components, in any combination, may be sent in a single transmission.

Abstract: A digital notification and response system for digitally notifying customers of an utility. The system includes a plurality of user contact devices, an application programming interface, and a dynamic information database. Real time digital user data comprising bank identified grouping information for forming user groups, user contact device information for each contact device, and utility provided user contact device priority information is received by the application programming interface and stored in the dynamic information database. The user contact device priority information is used to form a first and second group of user contact devices. Messages are transmitted through at least two industry standard gateways to the user contact devices, wherein the messages are simultaneously transmitted to the first group of user contact devices before the second group of user contact devices.

Abstract: In a mobile communications network one or more altered service zones may be defined. When a location aware mobile device enters an altered service zone, an application executing in the mobile device can alter the services of the device that are available to users. In one example, text or other screen-intensive services of a mobile device may be restricted or altered to voice based services as a user of the device drives through a school zone.

Abstract: A location aware mobile device may include an accelerometer or similar motion sensing component that can measure changes in speed or direction. An application executing in the mobile device can determine whether particular motion changes are indicative of the mobile device being involved in a crash event. If the motion parameters indicate that a crash event has occurred, the mobile device can communicate a crash event notification to a server, which can alert an emergency response unit about the crash, including the crash location, without the need for human intervention. Verification of the crash event may be performed at the server in a variety of ways, including the simultaneous receipt of crash event notifications from multiple co-located devices.

Abstract: A notification and response system utilizing a processor with dynamic information database and an administrator interface to transmit a financial messages from an administrator to a contact devices for guardians, and others associated with persons in an institution. The database has guardian, employee, and other person contact data, priority information, and response data. The administrator initiates distribution of the financial message based upon priority information and the priority order. The message is transmitted through at least two industry standard protocols simultaneously to guardians, employee, and other persons listed contact devices based upon priority information. Once the financial message is received a response is transmitted back through the two industry standard protocols back to the dynamic information database to insure the financial account is fully funded.

Abstract: Computer instructions in communication with at least one processor having data storage. The processor is in communication with a hydrogen generation network. The computer instructions instruct the processor to form a dynamic information database in the data storage, receive and store at least one hydrogen generating device identification and/or discretionary power consumption information, and receive and store dispatchable power source information and/or non-dispatchable power source information. The computer instructions instruct the processor to receive at least one message input using an administrator interface and transmit the message to the hydrogen generation network. The computer instructions instruct the processor to receive at least one response from the hydrogen generation network for regulating hydrogen production and store the response in the dynamic information database.

Abstract: A power management system for a plurality of rechargeable vehicles comprising an administrator interface for transmitting messages to a rechargeable station network using a processor in communication with data storage; a dynamic information database comprising a classification for at least one user, a rechargeable station identification, a user contact device information, discretionary power consumption information, and at least one dispatchable or non-dispatchable power source; and computer instructions in the data storage for instructing the processor to provide at least one message to the rechargeable station network. An administrator initiates distribution of the at least one message, which is transmitted through at least one industry standard protocol, and the administrator manages distribution and usage of the dispatchable power and non-dispatchable power to the rechargeable station network.

Abstract: A digital notification and response system utilizes an administrator interface to transmit a message from an administrator to user contact devices having an advertising module and a customer module with translation abilities. The system comprises a dynamic information database that includes user contact data, priority information, and response data. The administrator initiates distribution of the message based upon grouping information, priority information, and the priority order. The message is transmitted through at least two industry standard protocols simultaneously to groups of user contact devices based upon priority information. Once the message is received by the user contact device, the user contact device transmits a response through the industry standard protocols back to the dynamic information database.

Abstract: A power management system for a hydrogen generating network comprising: a decentralized hydrogen generation network comprising at least one hydrogen generating device operable by a dispatchable power source, a non-dispatchable power source, or combinations thereof, an administrator interface for transmitting messages from an administrator to the hydrogen generating network, a dynamic information database comprising hydrogen generating device identification, discretionary power consumption information, or combinations thereof, and dispatchable power source information, non-dispatchable power source information, or combinations thereof, and computer instructions for providing messages to the hydrogen generating network.

Abstract: A method for minimizing risk of explosion using centralized communication with a decentralized hydrogen generation network to regulate hydrogen production by at least one hydrogen generating device, comprising the steps of: forming an administrator interface for centralized communication with dispatchable and/or non-dispatchable power sources and at least one hydrogen generating device, and forming a dynamic information database for collecting and storing identification and/or discretionary power consumption information of hydrogen generating devices and dispatchable and/or non-dispatchable power source information. Power is then selectively transferred from dispatchable and/or non-dispatchable power sources to hydrogen generating devices using the administrator interface to provide centralized management of hydrogen production.
