  • Patent number: 8645518
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for compensating ancillary use of a wireless service device for excess transmission bandwidth is provided. Wireless service devices are discovered. Each wireless service device is interoperable on a wireless service network operated by a service provider. For each wireless service device, a primary function performable by a subscriber through the wireless service network and an ancillary function performable by a third party through the wireless service network based on availability of capacity for excess transmission bandwidth are determined. The wireless service devices include an available capacity to perform the ancillary function over the service network is identified. The ancillary function is performed over the excess transmission bandwidth using the identified wireless service devices through combination, modification and integration of data from the two or more other such identified wireless service devices.

  • Patent number: 8028057
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for facilitating ancillary use of a wireless service device is provided. A multiplicity of wireless service devices interoperable on a service network are discovered. A primary function performable by a subscriber and an ancillary function performable by a non-subscriber through use of each device through arrangement with the service network and based on availability of capacity for excess transmission bandwidth are determined. The devices that includes an available capacity to perform the ancillary function over the service network are identified. The ancillary function is performed using independent processing at least one of the devices. The ancillary function is also performed using distributed processing in conjunction with at least one other of the devices through the combination, modification and integration of data from the two or more such devices.

  • Publication number: 20110190021
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for providing notice-based communications through dynamic communication device registration is provided. Registrations of communications devices are maintained on a notice server. Subscriber parameter information selected by their respective subscriber is stored. Descriptive parameters, which have been selected from the group comprising personal, cultural, social, religious, political, commercial physical, types of people, types of places, types of businesses, types of services, interests of the subscriber and needs of the subscriber, are received. Localized physical coverage area preferences are received. A list of subscriber groups including such subscriber parameter information for the communications devices is continually monitored at the notice server. The descriptive parameters between the communications devices are matched.

  • Patent number: 7925289
    Abstract: A system and method for performing proximity-based communications through dynamic communication device registration is presented. Uniquely identified mobile communication devices are registered with a Service provider notice server. Subscribers of the mobile communications devices configure descriptive parameters, a localized physical coverage area, contact information and privacy preferences. Subscriber groups of subscriber mobile communications devices with matching descriptive parameters are formed. Subscriber group information for a plurality of the mobile communication devices within the localized physical coverage area is provided. Subscribers send a request to communicate with at least one other subscriber in a matching subscriber group.

  • Patent number: 7689681
    Abstract: A system and method for facilitating controlled use of a remotely accessible device for compensation is described. At least one device remotely accessible over a network and capable of performing a function ancillary to a primary function performed for a subscriber through use of the at least one device is identified. A subscriber of the at least one device is compensated in exchange for performance of the ancillary function relative to the primary function.

  • Patent number: 7505779
    Abstract: A system and method for facilitating proximity-based communications through dynamic communication device registration is presented. Collections of offered descriptive parameters autonomously selectable by subscribers of uniquely identified communication devices are stored. A presence of a plurality of the communication devices within a localized physical coverage area is registered. Subscriber autonomous selections of the offered descriptive parameters from the communication devices are enrolled on a dynamic basis. A request to communicate with at least one other subscriber from a requesting subscriber having a communication device within the same localized physical coverage area is processed. One or more responding subscribers having communication devices within the localized physical coverage area are continuously identified. Selected sets of the offered descriptive parameters of the requesting subscriber and of the responding subscribers are autonomously compared.
