eMediacy Receives Patent on System Using Existing Telephone Numbers to Address Email and Access Websites in the Same Way They Connect Phone Calls.
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) October 6, 2004
eMediacy, Inc. today announced that it has received United States Patent number 6,788,769 B1, detailing it?s method and system for using telephone numbers as a key to directly address emails and website URLs without the use of a lookup database. Using this system, a phone number can be typed into a web browser to access a website, or into an email client to address an email, in exactly the same way it is used to dial a telephone.
?We know of no other way to provide unified digital addresses that are public, geographically based, searchable through billions of dollars? worth of existing infrastructure and, most importantly, already known and used,? said Sanford P. Weisman, Chairman and CEO of eMediacy, Inc. ?If you know the phone number, you could call, send an email, go to a website, or utilize any other communications medium the receiver wishes to make available.?
In addition to telephone number keyed addressing, eMediacy?s patented system details the use of Digital Directories,TM application-based directory systems utilizing the telephone-keyed addressing to bridge between the existing numbers and addresses of any of the owner?s communications devices. For example, entering a phone number into a web browser could present a menu of communications options, allowing connection to a website, to a home, office and/or mobile phone, even to a fax machine.
By addressing via phone number from any voice or data transmission device, and bridging that communication between networks, eMediacy?s patented system can power a host of compelling new capabilities, products and services:
Email can be checked, sent or received from any telephone, anywhere by simply dialing the phone number.
Keypad devices such as mobile phones and ATM?s could easily access websites via a simple telephone number rather than complex email addresses and website URLs.
Existing telephone directories and ?411? infrastructure will have additional utility, becoming directories for the email, mobile, fax, and pager numbers that their owners choose to make publicly available.
An open directory could be established allowing users to bridge their phone number to any other communications medium they wish.
Service and utility bills can automatically be sent to spam-proof email boxes using the subscriber?s phone number, yielding a single, spam-proof file of all of your bills.
An email postal system could be established automatically creating spam-proof email addresses for everyone with a phone number.
Using eMediacy?s system, address owners would also have additional capabilities to manage the privacy of their addresses. For example, a mobile phone could be made available to everyone accessing the directory, to selected callers only, or left unpublished. Or the number could be a ?blind listing,? allowing callers to complete a call without seeing the number they are calling.
In contrast to some competing proposed standards, eMediacy?s system requires no changes or modifications to today?s telephony and Internet infrastructures. ?We have effectively created email addresses and Internet URLs for everyone with a phone number, without the cost of domain registration,? added Weisman.
The company is actively seeking partnerships to exploit the patented system. ?By incorporating our system into a wide variety of applications, each with its own Digital DirectoryTM, companies can offer new customer benefits, reduce costs and launch exciting new services,? said Weisman.
