Patent number: 11861450Abstract: An optical code scanner being operated using an algorithm is provided. The scanner may scan an optical label. The label may include machine-readable code. The scanner may derive a single set of instructions from the code or multiple sets of instructions from the code. The scanner may process the code. The processing may upload a set of instructions from the code to the scanner and store the set of instructions in an instructions library. The scanner may also derive a picture associated with the instructions and store the picture in the library. The scanner may display a plurality of pictures. Each of the pictures may correspond to a set of uploaded instructions stored on the scanner. Each of the plurality of pictures may be selectable by a user. In response to a user selection of a picture, the scanner may be configured to execute the uploaded instructions that correspond to the selected picture.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: the dtx companyInventors: Neil Wayne Cohen, Timothy J. Lemmon, David Shing, Andrew Duplessie, Patrik Andrew Devlin

Patent number: 11797810Abstract: Software tools disclosed herein may allow a user to enter design choices that alter an aesthetic appearance of a machine-readable label such that modules included in the label deviate from a standardized definition for the modules. Such alterations may include changes in size, color and orientation of modules. The alterations may allow a user to create machine-readable labels having unique aesthetic appearances. A software engine may ensure that, despite the aesthetic design choices entered by a user, the generated machine-readable label is reliably scannable.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: the dtx companyInventors: Patrik Andrew Devlin, Corey Benjamin Daugherty, Ahmad Askarian, David Shing, Neil Wayne Cohen, Saul Lewis Stetson, Richard Przekop

Patent number: 11741331Abstract: This disclosure relates to an electronic tag that may be scanned using at least two modalities, such by scanning a radio-frequency identification (“RFID”) embedded within the tag and/or scanning a machine-readable label (“MRL”) visible from an outside of the tag. Systems may track and capture downstream user interaction with content presented in response to a scan. Systems may distinguish between scan of an MRL versus scans of an RFID chip. A scan of an MRL may trigger loading of a first scan destination on a scanning device. A scan of an RFID chip may trigger loading of a second scan destination on a scanning device. Systems may generate analytics on detected differences between whether an MRL or RFID chip is scanned.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2022Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: the dtx companyInventors: Patrik Andrew Devlin, Neil Wayne Cohen, Corey Benjamin Daugherty, Jack Armstrong, Andrew Duplessie, Alex Rogers

Patent number: 11620352Abstract: Methods, devices and systems for computing interactive customized content in response to a scan, or multiple scans, of a machine-readable label are provided. Illustrative methods may include receiving, from a user or group of users, a scan of a machine-readable optical label captured using a camera of a mobile device. Methods may include determining, based on the scan or scans, one, or more than one, redirect Uniform Resource Locator(s) (URL(s)). Methods may include generating, based on a user profile or group of user profiles and a redirect service that is accessed using the redirect URL, customized content associated with the scan. Methods may include redirecting the user or users to one or more target landing page URL(s), and providing to the user or users, through a browser on the mobile device or mobile devices, one or more than one target landing page(s) that includes the customized content.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2022Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: the dtx companyInventors: Ahmad Askarian, Richard James Przekop, Neil Wayne Cohen, Patrik Andrew Devlin, Timothy J.

Patent number: 11599757Abstract: This disclosure relates to technology that provides dynamically configurable access to customized digital content associated with a machine-readable label (“MRL”). A MRL may be designed, printed and distributed to viewers. After distribution, the MRL may be collected by an owner who activates the collectible MRL and associates the MRL with customized content. At a time they are generated, a collectible MRL may be associated with a default scan destination. The default scan destination may be encoded in a data zone of the collectible MRL. The information encoded in a data zone of the collectible MRL may not be changeable after the MRL is distributed or fixed in tangible form. The disclosed technology provides apparatus and methods for customizing content associated with a MRL even after the MRL has been fixed in tangible form.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2021Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: the dtx companyInventors: Corey Benjamin Daugherty, Patrik Andrew Devlin, Timothy Armstrong
