Patent number: 12483633Abstract: In non-limiting examples, passive information is used to verify the location of a client computing device and to create segment categories for directed information using location-based services and/or applications. In aspects, passive information is received from a client computing device. The client computing device is detected as being located at a predicted venue using the passive information. It may be determined whether directed information associated with the predicted venue has been displayed at an earlier time on a predetermined portion of the client computing device. In response to determining directed information associated with the predicted venue has been displayed on the predetermined portion of the client computing device, a statistical model may be applied to calculate a confidence score that the client computing device is located at the predicted venue. When the confidence score meets a predetermined threshold, a directed information conversion record may be stored in a data store.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2023Date of Patent: November 25, 2025Assignee: Foursquare Labs, Inc.Inventors: Simon Favreau-Lessard, Daniel Harrison, Adam Poswolsky, Jason Liszka, Robert Stewart

Patent number: 12269286Abstract: A security document includes a substrate having a transparent window formed in the substrate. A micro-optical structure including microlenses is arranged on one side of the substrate. A first print image is arranged on the other side of the substrate, opposite the micro-optical structure, and includes image elements having a dot size or line thickness smaller than a lens width of the microlenses. A layer is arranged on part of the first print image on the side facing away from the micro-optical structure. A second print image is arranged on the layer, facing away from the micro-optical structure, and so that the second print image can be brought into alignment with the micro-optical structure after folding the substrate at a bending line so that the second print image, or at least a piece of information contained therein, becomes visible and/or recognizable when viewed from a direction of the micro-optical structure.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2023Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: KOENIG & BAUER AGInventors: Arnaud Crassous, Robert Stewart, Robert Stierman

Patent number: 12227021Abstract: Examples include a security document having a substrate with a transparent window. In the region of the transparent window, a micro-optical structure including microlenses is arranged on one side of the substrate and a first print image is arranged on the other side of the substrate, opposite the micro-optical structure. A layer covers at least a section of the first print image. The layer allows electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength in the range of 380 nm to 780 nm to pass with a transparency in a range between 10% and 90%. The transparency gradually varies over a planar extension of the layer. A second print image is arranged on the layer in such a way that the second print image, or at least a piece of information contained therein, can be brought into alignment with the micro-optical structure after carrying out a folding process and becomes visible and/or recognizable.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2023Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: KOENIG & BAUER AGInventors: Arnaud Crassous, Robert Stewart, Robert Stierman

Publication number: 20240416644Abstract: Examples include a printing machine for producing a security document. The printing machine includes an impression cylinder for guiding a substrate of the security document and a transfer cylinder cooperating with the impression cylinder at a transfer point for printing a print image onto the substrate. The substrate includes a transparent window with a micro-optical structure composed of microlenses disposed on one side of the substrate in the region of the transparent window and opposite to the side of the substrate with the print image. A printing device applies a layer that covers the print image and is of a lighter hue than a hue of the print image. The impression cylinder includes an embossing device around a circumference thereof. The embossing device creates the micro-optical structure of the microlenses during rotation of the impression cylinder on the substrate in a contactless manner by molding using an injection embossing method.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2023Publication date: December 19, 2024Inventors: Arnaud CRASSOUS, Robert STEWART, Robert STIERMAN

Publication number: 20240362672Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for automatic attribution modeling and measurement. In aspects, a system may receive identification information associated with profiles and electronic devices that were exposed to a certain piece of targeted content. The demographic and device data associated with the individuals who were exposed to the targeted content are used to create a control group of individuals who were not exposed to that targeted content. The real-world visit rates of the exposed group and the control group to one or more locations may be monitored over a period of time (or campaign) and evaluated to assess the effectiveness of the targeted content.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2023Publication date: October 31, 2024Inventors: Jon Hoffman, Adam Poswolsky, Robert Stewart

Patent number: 11797691Abstract: A Secure Access Gateway and Registry is provided for secure access to security related service information, to operate a security feature of a motor vehicle, by a validated Individual. The system is implemented with a general purpose computer, internet, mobile device, and secure data release Registry software application. An Individual is employed as a vehicle service professional. The Individual inputs a Registry Application data. The Registry uses the Registry Application data to generate a background search result data. The Registry uses the search result data to determine eligibility, and assign a Registered Vehicle Service Professional Identification code. The Individual uses the Registered Vehicle Service Professional Identification code to input a Form D1 authorization data, and to access an Automaker website. The Registry uses the D1 authorization data to determine a legal possessory interest in a motor vehicle, to be serviced.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Inventors: Donald L.
