  • Publication number: 20180101856
    Abstract: A digital processing system to communicate and track a template-based customized digital object including a mobile user terminal and a server. The terminal includes an RF interface to receive position location signals, a processor to determine a geographic location of the terminal from the position location signals, a second RF interface to exchange signals with a WAN, and user-interface means to display and to edit a digital object template. The server includes a WAN interface to receive a first signal indicating the geographic location of the mobile user terminal, and a second signal representing a media data object from the terminal, a template database to store the digital object template displayed on the user-interface means, a processor combining the digital object template with the media data object according to user commands, and a presentation module to present the customized digital object to a recipient user at another mobile user terminal.

  • Publication number: 20150106183
    Abstract: A system and method to provide customized coupons, the method including: receiving, by a user terminal used by a requesting user, radio-frequency (RF) signals containing information usable to determine position; determining a location of the user terminal from the RF signals; determining participating merchants within a configurable distance threshold of the location of the user terminal; retrieving a coupon template from a database, wherein the coupon template identifies business-related boundaries of an offer from a participating merchant; customizing the coupon template, by use of a media data object, to create a customized coupon; and providing the customized coupon to be shared with a recipient user.
