Patent number: 10972429Abstract: A method may include receiving an outbound communication directed to one or more recipient addresses from a communications infrastructure hosting the true address for the user. A server or similar intermediary may generate an alias address for each recipient address in an outbound communication so that each recipient may communicate with the true address using a unique reply channel. A discrete security state may be assigned as a security attribute to each such alias address. The discrete security state, which can be controlled by the user and stored, e.g., at the intermediate server, establishes rules for controlling communications from one of the recipient addresses through the communications infrastructure to the true address via one of the alias addresses. Once an alias and a security state are assigned in this manner to facilitate handling of responsive communications, the outbound communication may be forwarded to recipient addresses through the communication network.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2019Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: Reflexion Networks, Inc.Inventors: Joseph E. McIsaac, Marcus Dahllof, Louis Bruce Tatarsky, Richard K. Vallett

Publication number: 20110213841Abstract: A system and method for generating an electronic communication having a message component and a digital medium component. The technology includes, for example, identifying, assembling and exchanging digital medium between parties to complement various forms of electronic communication (e.g., “electronic mail”, “instant messaging”, etc.) where messages are directed between participants using sender and recipient identifiers (e.g., to, from, etc.). To generate the electronic communication, a characteristic (e.g., property, content) of an electronic communication between two or more parties is determined. One or more digital medium components are received from one or more third party servers. The one or more digital medium components are determined by at least one of the one or more third party servers based on the characteristic. A modified electronic communication is generated based on the electronic communication and the one or more digital medium components.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2008Publication date: September 1, 2011Inventor: Joseph E.
