  • Patent number: 9282424
    Abstract: A method and system for a logic-based uniform resource locator resolution are described in which a server may receive a request from a mobile device. The request may be based on a uniform resource locator (URL) obtained by the mobile device from a code, such as a two-dimensional code, or from a proximity device, such as a near field communication target device. In response to the request, the server may communicate to the mobile device URL redirection information for a URL that provides multimedia content comprising an advertisement, a webpage, a video, a virtual card, a phone number, sound, and/or other like information. The URL redirection information may be selected based on a location that corresponds to the code or the proximity device, which may be the location of the mobile device. The URL redirection information may also be selected based on a rotation schedule stored in the server.

  • Patent number: 8896709
    Abstract: A method and system for image and metadata management are described in which a server may communicate with multiple cameras from a single photographic session or shoot. The server may receive a digital image from one of the cameras and may attach metadata to the digital image. The digital image may also have embedded metadata as a result of the image capture process in the camera. The attached metadata may comprise session-specific metadata created in connection with the photographic session and stored in the server prior to the digital image being received. The attached metadata may comprise location-specific metadata that may be provided to the server by a photographer through a wireless device. The server may transmit the digital image and its metadata to one or both of a social media outlet and a website. The server may enable an approval and selection process of the digital image for transmission.
