  • Patent number: 8131311
    Abstract: A content delivery system, such as a Just in Time Training (JITT) system which allows the broadcast of multimedia messages to recipients or users. The JITT system identifies the multimedia capabilities as well as the capabilities of the service provider and recipient device for each user and uses this profile information to determine an appropriate messaging format to use to send the message to each user. User involvement is used to determine the functionality and content type delivery for each user mobile device. This profiling may be performed in any of a number of different ways, including smart echo, caller-ID initiated (CIDI) and SMS initiated (SMSI) profiling. In smart echo profiling, the user sends the JITT system a multimedia sample from the mobile device, and the JITT system then sends messages and content to the mobile devise using the same format.

  • Publication number: 20110016481
    Abstract: An electronic information card generation and transmittal system generates audience member or user initiated electronic information request cards. Such electronic information request cards (EIRCs) enable broadcasters, network operators, advertisers and program producers to capture and take advantage of the impulse purchase urges, as indicated by the generation of an information request, of the audience members for converting those urges into purchases or information sharing. For example, a network provider/broadcaster notifies an audience member of eligibility to participate in the facility of the system. The audience member signs up to participate in the facility by registering the system for that user. Upon viewing or listening to a program or commercial of interest, the audience member initiates an EIRC through a user interface.
