20120173436 | Method and system for authorizing, authenticating, implementing, brokering data transfers, and collecting fees for data transfers among distributed electronic devices and servers - The invention provides a method and system to register, initiate, authenticate, authorize, draw from a price or fee schedule, and enable electronic devices, including “cloud” appliances capable of running computer readable code to perform data transfers and collect transaction fees for data forwarded or relayed to other electronic devices. The method includes generating and sending read-write pairs of activation keys across electronic devices authorizing data transfers from or between the devices, enabling data transfers from or between the devices, most often authorizing payment to at least one of the users associated with the devices for transferred data or for transaction fees associated with the data or both. In this manner, any electronic device capable of processing computer readable code can be used to facilitate data transfer and payment authorizations between a device functioning as a host or brokering server and one or a plurality of other electronic devices that generate, create, host, transmit or accept data. | 07-05-2012 |
20120232960 | Method and system for pricing and exchange of datasets that includes multiple users contributing incremental improvements to increase the value and utility of the datasets - The invention provides a method and system to enable incremental improvement and changes to datasets and the determination of values prices, auction minimums, or rewards or bounties for entering incremental changes to datasets. The invention includes art to enable simple secure attributable versioning of datasets, art to enable transfer of datasets through sale or other trading and exchange mechanisms, art to use the features capabilities and functions of websites servers social networking sites and Wiki or blog sites to rank reward and otherwise compensate users who contribute to incremental improvement of datasets, and art to tier service and access levels for access to or receipt of updated data. | 09-13-2012 |
20120233013 | System to format and use electronically readable identification data strings, biometric data, matrix codes and other data to link and enroll users of products and services to roles and rights and fees and prices associated with research protocols linked to said products and services - The system and method uses strings of computer readable characters, such as QR Codes, biometric data captured from electronic devices, and RFID tags to link contributors to a data supply chain upon transmission from electronic devices that transmit said data strings. The electronically readable identification data strings include connection and context information for enrollees, regulators, and providers of services and products to be subscribed to asynchronous notifications and alerts as well to exchange fees, incentives, and rewards for contributions, participation, and access. Enrolled contributors are enabled to interact with electronic devices or websites or servers to contribute observations and data into protocols or otherwise participate in a data supply chain. In some instances, links between a server and electronic devices capable of overwriting computer readable character strings or matrix codes will be implemented and fees charged for revising said data strings upon acceptance of a version transmitted by enrolled contributors. | 09-13-2012 |
20120316993 | Method and system for pricing and exchange of streams of data stored on tags readable by electronic means, streams of data in digital messages, and streams of data from electronic devices - The invention provides a method and system to enable buyers and sellers of data items associated with data streams housed on electronically readable data tags or data streams contained within digitally transmissible messages or data streams generated by devices capable of implementing computer readable code to set, manage, and collect fees for the one or a plurality of data items and for the processing, collection, and posting of the one or a plurality of data items. It further provides a method for collection of fees and posting data from data streams to datasets through electronic devices capable of implementing computer readable code. It further provides a method for electronic devices capable of implementing computer readable code to write data into electronic messages or onto electronically readable data tags or to other electronic devices capable of running computer readable code. | 12-13-2012 |
