Augme Technologies, Inc. - New York NY

International Classification:

G06F 7/00
G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707732

Abstract:

The disclosure details the implementation of apparatuses, methods, and systems for information querying and serving in a virtual world based on profiles. Such virtual worlds may include, for example, massively multiplayer online games like The Sims Online, Everquest, World of Warcraft, Second Life, and/or the like. Information and/or advertisement providers may use a code triggered information server to serve context, demographic, and behavior targeted information to users in a virtual world. Users, in turn, trigger the provision of information by scanning or observing codes or information, or by making decisions within a virtual world such as attempting a mission within a game. The triggers, together with virtual world geographic, temporal, and user-specific information, are obtained by the server that receives, processes, and records the message. Based on these messages and a user profile—which may include continuously updated user-specific behavior information, situational and ambient information, an accumulated history of triggers, and integration with outside database information—the server selects information to serve to the user in a virtual world from an information base. For example, a user in Second Life who likes modern clothing for his/her avatar may be presented with ads on virtual billboards from advertisers of virtual in-game clothing stores that are near his/her virtual position.

Abstract:

The disclosure details the implementation of apparatuses, methods, and systems for information querying and serving on the internet based on profiles. Information and/or advertisement providers may use a code triggered information server to serve context, demographic, and behavior targeted information to users on the internet. Users, in turn, trigger the provision of information by scanning or observing codes or information, or by selecting web links. The triggers, together with geographic, temporal, and user-specific information, are obtained by the server that receives, processes, and records the message. Based on these messages and a user profile—which may include continuously updated user-specific behavior information, situational and ambient information, an accumulated history of trigger messages, and integration with outside database information—the server selects information to serve to a user on the internet from an information base. For example, a user with a recorded history of interest in coffee products may be served an advertisement for a nearby coffeeshop while browsing the web on his/her PDA. In one embodiment, information may also be served to users on the internet based solely on the user profiles, and without any initiating trigger.

Abstract:

Methods and reagents are disclosed for conducting assays. Embodiments of the present methods and reagents are concerned with a solid support such as, for example, a particle. The support includes a chemiluminescent composition that includes a metal chelate. The present inventors observed that, when such support such as, e. g. , particles, were employed in assays for the determination of an analyte, stability of signal output by the chemiluminescent composition associated with the particle was unacceptably reduced as compared to particles including other chemiluminescent compositions. In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, the stability of signal output from such particles is enhanced by including in a medium that contains the particles a sufficient amount of one or more stabilizing agents, which may be a chelating agent and/or a metal chelate such as, for example, the metal chelate that is associated with the particle.

US Classification:

707736, 707728

Abstract:

The disclosure details the implementation of apparatuses, methods, and systems for ambiguous code triggered information querying and serving on mobile devices. Information and/or advertisement providers may use a code triggered information server to serve context, demographic, and behavior targeted information to users via mobile devices. Users, in turn, trigger the provision of information by scanning or observing codes or information. Often, codes scanned by novice users and/or using mobile devices may be ambiguous and/or obscured. Consequently, the present system may implement disambiguation processes to the code scans so as to clarify their identity. The disambiguated scans, together with geographic, temporal, and user-specific information, are obtained by the server that receives, processes, and records the message. Based on these messages and a user profile—which may include continuously updated user-specific behavior information, situational and ambient information, an accumulated history of scanned code messages, and integration with outside database information—the server selects information to serve to the users' mobile devices from an information base. The code triggered information server allows for the serving of information that is demographic, interest, location, and time specific.

Abstract:

Apparatuses, methods, and systems for signaling proximity of mobile devices. First activity information of a first mobile device and second activity information of a second mobile device are accumulated. A proximity boundary is established for the first mobile device. A location of the first mobile device is determined from the first activity information and a location of the second mobile device is determined from the second activity information. A determination is made whether the second mobile device is on or within the proximity boundary of the first mobile device. An alert is sent to at least the first mobile device that the proximity boundary has been breached when the second mobile device is on or within the proximity boundary of the first mobile device.

For example, a user who is profiled as a teenager with a stated interest in comic books and a record of scanning codes related to movies may be served an advertisement for the latest comic book themed movie playing in the next hour near his/her present geographic position the next time he/she scans a code from the entertainment section of the newspaper. The code triggered information server allows for the serving of information that is demographic, interest, location, and time specific. It also allows providers to track user behavior and provide anticipatory information.

International Classification:

G06N 5/00

US Classification:

706 21

Abstract:

The disclosure details the implementation of apparatuses, methods, and systems for anticipatory information querying and serving on mobile devices based on profiles. Information and/or advertisement providers may use a code triggered information server to serve context, demographic, and behavior targeted information to users via mobile devices. Users register interest in the provision of information by scanning or observing codes or information. The scans, together with geographic, temporal, and user-specific information, are obtained by the server that receives, processes, and records the message. Based on these messages and a user profile—which may include continuously updated user-specific behavior information, situational and ambient information, an accumulated history of scanned code messages, and integration with outside database information—the server selects information to serve to the users' mobile devices from an information base. In one embodiment, information may also be served to users based solely on the user profiles, and without any initiating code scan. This may be based on predicted space-time trajectories derived from the accumulated history of scanned codes. For example, a user who frequently scans codes related to fast food, has a stated interest in sweets, and it projected to pass a particular fast food restaurant at a particular time may be served an advertisement for a dessert product at that restaurant on his/her cell phone shortly before he/she is projected to pass it.

Abstract:

The disclosure details the implementation of apparatuses, methods, and systems for information querying and serving on mobile devices based on ambient conditions. Such conditions may include weather, traffic, market prices, news and events, and/or the like. Information and/or advertisement providers may use a code triggered information server to serve context, demographic, and behavior targeted information to users via mobile devices. Users, in turn, trigger the provision of information by scanning or observing codes or information. The scans, together with geographic, temporal, and user-specific information, are obtained by the server that receives, processes, and records the message. Based on these messages and a user profile—which may include continuously updated user-specific behavior information, situational and ambient information, an accumulated history of scanned code messages, and integration with outside database information—the server selects information to serve to the users' mobile devices from an information base. In one embodiment, information may also be served to users based solely on the user profiles and ambient conditions, and without any initiating code scan. This is based on the accumulated history of scanned codes, which yields behavioral information about a user, including user space-time trajectories.
