  • Patent number: 10521846
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods are disclosed for accurately identifying a mobile thing motion activity (MTMA; e.g., stationary, walking, running, biking, driving, etc.) associated with a mobile thing (MT) using sensor data from one or more sensors associated with a wireless communication device (WCD) transported by the MT, so as to enable targeted selection and communication of an advertisement that is suited for the identified MTMA. The one or more sensors produce sensor data indicative of physical movement of the WCD in three dimensional space and may include, for example, one or more of the following: an accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, etc.

  • Patent number: 9799063
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods are disclosed for accurately identifying one or more mobile thing motion activity (MTMAs; e.g., stationary, walking, running, biking, driving, etc.) associated with a mobile thing (MT; e.g., a person) using sensor data from one or more sensors associated with a wireless communication device (WCD) transported by the MT and for facilitating purchase of a good or service based at least in part upon the one or more MTMAs and one or more predefined user preferences. The sensor data from the one or more sensors (e.g., accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, etc.) is designed to produce data indicative of physical movement of the WCD in three dimensions of a three dimensional (3D) space. In some embodiments, the one or more MTMAs are a plurality of instances of the same MTMA (e.g., a plurality of running sessions) and the purchase of the good or service (e.g., new running shoes) is initiated when a total time duration or total travel distance exceeds a predefined threshold (e.g.

  • Publication number: 20150149226
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for automated computer based notification systems. A representative method, among others that are disclosed herein, can be broadly summarized by the following steps: monitoring travel or location information of a mobile thing (MT) that is destined to pickup or deliver a good or service at a stop location; engaging in a notification communication session between a personal communication device (PCD) associated with a party and the automated notification system when the MT is a predetermined proximity with respect to the stop location associated with the pickup or delivery of the good or service; selecting advertisement related information based at least in part upon personal profile information associated with the party; and causing the advertisement related information to be communicated to the PCD.
