Methods and systems for facilitating a scavenger hunt. The systems and methods described herein involve receiving at an interface a list of a plurality of attractions, and communicating the list of the plurality of attractions to at least one device associated with a participant over a network. Scavenger hunt participants may then gather imagery of the required attractions. The systems and methods described herein then involve receiving imagery from the at least one participant and executing at least one computer vision procedure to determine whether the received imagery includes at least one of the plurality of attractions.

Methods and systems for organizing media. The systems and methods described herein organize media items based on metadata and unique media item content attributes. If a media item satisfies one or more criteria, the media item is transferred to an album to be shared with authorized users.

Rules based albums

Methods and systems for selecting an image. The systems and methods may receive one or more images as well as a context associated with the received imagery. Based on the context of the received imagery, an appropriate engine may analyze the imagery by executing one or more routines. Based on the results of the analysis, one or more of the images may be selected.

Service Access Codes (SACs) are special codes that are part of the standard North American Numbering Plan (NANP). Presented herein is a solution for which these special SACs can be used as addresses to wireless data and messaging applications without precluding their traditional use for voice calls. Accordingly, provided herein is an exemplary messaging address system and method for facilitating interaction between mobile subscribers and message-based applications. The system comprises: a communications network; and a message center system coupled to said communications network. The message center system comprises a processor configured to: associate destination addresses with corresponding data network addresses; said destination addresses formatted in accordance with a standard non-geographic numbering and administration plan, receive a mobile-originated message generated by a subscriber wireless device; said mobile-originated message including a destination address, translate said mobile-originated message's destination address into its corresponding data network address, and send said mobile-originated message to said corresponding data network address for receipt by a message-based application. In one embodiment of the invention, the destination address is formatted in accordance with the Numbering Plan (NANP) service access code (SAC) format.

Wireless messaging address system and method

Provided herein is a system, method and product for performing address translation and routing of short codes. The embodiment described herein primarily supports the wireless and standardized SMS; however, one skilled in the art can readily appreciate that the present invention can also be applied to any mobile messaging technology, e.g., Multimedia Messaging Service ('MMS'), etc.

A system and method to enable an organization to acquire a user mobile device address by means of a trigger system. A system and method to enable an organization to respond to a user by means of a trigger system and a message application server. A system and method to enable organizations to deliver mobile messages, coupons, offers and promotions to users mobile device by means of a combination of a trigger system, a message application server and an offer application.

System and method to initiate a mobile data communication utilizing a trigger system

Provided herein are exemplary techniques for determining and delivering, appropriate multimedia content comprising a combination of text, images, sounds, rich-text, animation, video, etc. to personal data communication devices (), such as wireless cell-phones or wireless PDA's, based upon device specific information such as the network protocol used by the device, the network provider, the device capabilities (), the current state of the device, user specified settings, etc. An application server () contains an interpreter capable of executing a set of instructions to manage the delivery and receipt of appropriate multimedia and simple text content to and from personal communication devices (). Appropriate content () is sent to the personal data communication device () based on the network protocol used by the device, the network provider, the device capabilities, the current state of the device and user specified settings under the control of the interpreter. A plurality of device capability input handlers () controlled by the interpreter is used to capture the device capability of the personal data communication device ().

System and method for determining and delivering appropriate multimedia content to data communication devices

A method and system utilizing presence in a presence aware data/messaging network between a user and an organization for communication purposes to indicate when both parties are ready to engage in a dialog session or when one party has new information for the other party. The method and system can be further enhanced if the presence aware network also provides location information or other state information on the user.

System and method using presence in a data network to facilitate communication

Provided herein is a centralized registry service enabling subscribers to 'opt-out' of any or all mobile messaging programs. The registry service supports access to storage medium information by mobile and wireless carriers, companies operating mobile messaging programs, mobile applications or platforms, and most importantly, individual subscribers. The registry service can be used with any message based network, including non mobile networks.
