TeleCommunication Systems, Inc.
(TCS) TSYS, a world leader in highly reliable and secure mobile
communication technology, today announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office (USPTO) has issued TCS nine patents during the fourth quarter of 2012;
TCS also was issued two foreign patents in this period. TCS' intellectual
property monetization efforts contributed meaningfully to its fourth quarter
2012 results and are expected to increasingly be a part of annual operating
results.
The nine new U.S. patents describe innovations in mobile location, secure
communications, public safety, wireless data and messaging and further
strengthen these areas of TCS' intellectual property.
The USPTO issued four patents to TCS related to mobile location:
o "Point of Interest Spatial Rating Search Method and System" (U.S. Patent
8,301,371)
o "Consequential Location Derived Information" (U.S. Patent 8,290,505)
o "Location Privacy Selector" (U.S. Patent 8,315,599)
o "Telematics Basic Mobile Device Safety Interlock" (U.S. Patent 8,336,664)
The use of smartphones and the data and information that they provide to the
user when searching for information is growing at an enormous rate. Many
times, the user easily can be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of data
available, and sometimes, the information is not relevant. The Point of
Interest patent describes techniques whereby the current location of the
mobile device from the point of interest is used to inform the search results,
so that the user receives only the most relevant information. For example,
when the user searches for a specific type of restaurant, they will only
receive results that are within a predetermined distance setting.
