/24-7PressRelease/ - NEWBURYPORT, MA, March 06, 2008 - Context Connect, LLC. ("CCL" or "the Company"), a leading provider of private directory-based connectivity services, today announced it has been awarded US Patent #7,340,048 - A System and Method for Directory Services and eCommerce Across Multi-Provider Networks. The patent is focused on the ability to 'find and connect' individuals without requiring or needing the actual contact number (e.g., phone number) through a DNS-based contextual platform. The patent extends to directory-based connectivity calls as well as electronic transactions or eCommerce via mobile devices.
The patent describes methods for providing secure connectivity across disparate networks or service providers. Contextual, DNS-based directory listings are created by consumers or groups, while connectivity to individuals is made without revealing valuable customer information and data - thus ensuring a more appropriate way of getting connected (self provisioned contextual listings) through a private-based platform (no phone numbers revealed). The patent covers directory assistance/enquiry listings by consumers and merchants that do not reveal actual connectivity details like DNS-like registrar services.
"This patent continues to expand our portfolio of intellectual property, particularly around private, contextual-based directory searches and connectivity," stated Sunny Ahn, CEO and President of Context Connect. "The platform is appropriate for connectivity calls or ecommerce transactions across disparate service providers without revealing an individual's actual identity or contact details."
CCL provides solutions that enable cross-platform connectivity that allows individuals to 'find and connect' to wireless subscribers across multiple devices and multiple provider platforms. The Company also provides a private mass notification service, ccAlert , that allows a single message to thousands of people, via the communication devices they have.
