Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for forwarding location dependent messages from a message sender's mobile cellular device to an intended recipient's mobile cellular device. The method is principally practiced in a communication network comprising a plurality of mobile cellular devices having location determining capabilities such as triangulation and GPS. In an embodiment, the message sender identifies an intended message recipient and selects a geographic location and corresponding radius of circumference defining geographic pre-conditions for transmitting the location dependent message to the intended message recipient. The message is first transmitted to a central server which periodically monitors the geographic location of the intended recipient in real time or near real-time to determine if the intended recipient enters within the radius of circumference of the geographic location selected by the message sender. The message is transmitted from the central server when it is determined that the intended recipient has satisfied the geographic pre-conditions. In other embodiments, a cellular mobile device user is alerted when one or more contacts of the user arrives within a certain geographic proximity of the user.

Abstract: There are provided methods and systems enabling a customer to order products from an audio advertisement, for example from a radio advertisement heard in an automobile, using only a standard audio receiver and mobile telephone. Pre-registration by the retailer advertising the product enables the storing of pertinent product information by a fulfillment center. Pre-approval of mobile telephone service(s) enables billing to be performed through a customer's mobile telephone account. The actual customer order is completed by simply dialing the telephone number transmitted in the advertisement. The remainder of the fulfillment and billing process is substantially automated. More specifically, the fulfillment center uses the dialed telephone number to determine the ordered product and the calling telephone number to determine delivery information. If the calling number is through an approved mobile telephone service provider and caller information can be determined, fulfillment occurs automatically with billing through the mobile phone account. If the calling number is not through an approved service or caller information is not determinable, the call is directed for other processing.

Abstract translation: 提供的方法和系统使得客户能够仅使用标准的音频接收器和移动电话来从音频广告订购产品，例如来自汽车中听到的无线电广告。 广告产品的零售商的预注册能够由履行中心存储相关的产品信息。 预先批准移动电话服务可以通过客户的移动电话帐户进行计费。 通过简单地拨打广告中传送的电话号码即可完成实际的客户订单。 剩余的完成和计费过程基本上是自动化的。 更具体地，履行中心使用拨打的电话号码来确定订购的产品和主叫电话号码以确定传送信息。 如果主叫号码是通过认可的移动电话服务提供商，并且可以确定呼叫者信息，则通过移动电话帐户自动进行计费。 如果主叫号码不是通过认可的服务或呼叫者信息不可确定，则呼叫被指示用于其他处理。

Abstract: There are provided new and improved methods and systems for producing machine-generated handwriting having realistic human appearance. In various embodiments, the handwriting may include characteristics of particular classes and/or characteristics of particular individuals. The handwriting includes an appropriate degree of randomness so as to be realistic in appearance. In a particular embodiment of the invention, at least one sample of a particular individual's handwriting is scanned and analyzed to determine the characteristics thereof. The handwriting characteristics include a degree of randomness representative of the scanned handwriting sample(s). The handwriting may be printed on a conventional printer, for example to generate a communication for a recipient.

Abstract: There are provided methods and systems for manufacturing consumer products such as clothing. In accordance with the invention, customer measurements and preferences are collected by a unique, small-footprint or private custom clothing shop. These measurements and preferences are stored and used in association with the manufacturer of custom clothing. Ordered clothing is manufactured through the provision of patterns, instructions and materials to skilled, pre-qualified sewing associates. In one embodiment of the invention, the consumer products are “broken” into discrete, separately-manufacturable pieces, each piece for assembly by a separate, geographically remote, skilled labor with final assembly of the various pieces is performed at a centralized location. Customized clothing can thus be manufactured by a highly skilled, cost effective and geographically disperse labor force, using electronically stored data and electronic communications to both coordinate manufacturing and ensure high-quality results.

Abstract: Provided are methods and devices for providing a resource. In one example, a method includes receiving a request to render a resource, the request comprising item information associated with an item, extracting an item identifier from the item information, and determining, by the web server, whether the user device corresponds to an existing user of a mobile application corresponding to the request. In response to determining the user device corresponds to an existing user of the mobile application, the method may include determining a customized URI associated with the item and associated with the mobile application based on the extracted item identifier and transmitting the customized URI. In response to determining the user device does not correspond to an existing user of the mobile application, the method may include transmitting a URL of a web page associated with the mobile application to the user device.
