Then that information is returned to the cell phone where the users browser is then launched, and in the case of a product or url they can then go to that specific web site.

[brewskih]

The method where the bar code contains a direct link to web content(known as direct method) is not covered under this patented process, and does not require a data base server to match the UNIQUE IDENTIFIER to, thus eliminating the middle man(NEOMEDIA). In this case when the user clicks on a code, the phone itself decodes the information in that code and takes the user directly to the releated content

NeoMedia Patent #6,651,053 — Interactive system for investigating products on a network

This patent is part of the Rothschild/Barpoint family and thus not affected by the patent currently under review.

Tell me brewskih how one directly encodes a UPC codes?

[brewskih]

Neomedia's patented process(which recently recieved non final rejection from the USPTO as mentioned above) is a process where the bar code contains an UNIGUE IDENTIFIER CODE(referred to as indirect method). For instance insteda of the bar code containing a direct link URL, it has numbers like 12345. When someone clicks that bar code, those numbers must be sent to an information server data base, where they are then matched up with a product, or url or what ever.

[brewskih]

getqode or streetstylz as he is better know, has a two plus year history of mis representing what Neomedia's patents cover. It was I who challenged him and a group of Neomedia shareholders on this issue going back to 2006, and they finally conceded I was correct.

[getqode]

I wonder if the creators of ShopSavvy know that they are in violation of NeoMedia's patents?

[PubliusHadrianus]

last time i checked US Law only applies in US. You stay with your expensive iPhones with their walled-garden approach and patent madness while we in the rest of the world get to use much better stuff.

[getqode]

You should take a look at NeoMedia's many European patents ;)

[PubliusHadrianus]

biguu is from Japan if i'm not mistaken, even their web site says so.

[PubliusHadrianus]

hmmm, i stand corrected: they have an US address in the web site footer

[PubliusHadrianus]

well, after reading the reply on their blog i recalled where i saw the NeoMedia name before.. on EFF the DeepLinks blog and on EFF's Patent busting project.

quote:

the US Patent Office has rejected ALL 95 NeoMedia patent claims[...] Bascially, the patent office reviewed ex parte briefs filed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation and found a significant amount of prior art, arguing NeoMedias patent claims were not novel.

/endquote

there goes your boat, please don't be in it when it sinks.

[getqode]

NeoMedia respects the USPTO's findings & will leverage this opportunity to respond to the ruling & defend the patent that it believes valid under patent law. The company has been requested to respond to the USPTO by providing clarification & comment on the cited prior art references by Sept 3 2008. Based on prior successful patent defenses NeoMedia is optimistic that the single patent in question will be confirmed & the reexamination effort will have served to verify the strength of the patent.

This is just pure awesome. Did you know that your software is going to destroy capitalism? How do you think anyone is going to be able to make any money if everyone keeps buying at the lowest price? The lowest price will always sell at a loss.

One-click Google Checkout buying would be fun as well.

I'd like more info how you display the product reviews.

Also some kind of product recommendation system, and hooking in to shopping list so that you can shop wisely at the supermarket.

[Charbax]

What I meant about the wise supermarket assistant functionality, would be to enter supermarket mode, it then detects which supermarket you are in. It takes your groceries to-buy list, suggests cheapest brands for example cheapest butter. Other filters would suggest most healthy, or would recommend different ingredients to for example make a better more original omelette (it knows your taste).

Also it would tell you which ingredients to buy at which supermarket so you can go to the one next door

Thats how capitalism works actually. Competition keeps prices low. It is up to the consumer to decide if they need it then, or if paying the shipping and the lower price is more feasible.

[Charbax]

Big capitalists want as little competition as possible, they want exclusivity, they want to own monopolies, they prefer people don't know about cheaper prices. If you constantly are going to be using ShopSavvy for everything you buy, you will always be paying below cost, the sellers selling to you will always be at a loss, cause that would be the only way for them to get the sale.

Brilliant absolutely amazing. I hope it's exclusive to Android so I can rub it in the face of my friend and his iPhone.
