Opportunity to Purchase US Patent #7722502
Our client Nixu Oy has asked us to find a buyer for a patent pertaining to a method for dynamic human user authentication and storing related performance data. This is an excellent opportunity to obtain US patent # 7722502 and the related patent family.
Overview:
The invention relates to a use-case in which equipment producing biometric, mechanical and/or similar information is shared by a number of users. It teaches a method whereby each individual user is dynamically authenticated using radio-based authentication technologies including but not limited to Bluetooth or RFID; the identity of each authenticated user is bound with the piece of data she has produced while using the equipment in shared use; and the resulting information is aggregated to and stored at a centralized server for further analysis. According to the taught method, the further analysis and the management of the stored data can be performed either locally or remotely over the Internet.
The Technology:
The client software installed in the exercise device or other device collecting biometric and/or mechanical information is able to dynamically, automatically authenticate each individual user by utilizing wireless authentication technologies, to store the biometric and/or mechanical information provided by the device, to associate in the manner described above the identity of the authenticated user with the information produced by the same user on the device, and to transmit by using either a fixed or wireless local area network the identity-information pair collected in the earlier described manner to a centralized database installed in a (remote) server, in which the collected information can be analyzed and managed centrally. In addition, the server may run a separate web server, whereby users may be provided remote read rights to the information managed in the server.
The Market:
This method for storing dynamic user authentication/performance is applicable to markets such as:
*Wellness/Fitness Industry for e.g. gym equipment.
*Medical equipment manufacturers designing equipment for e.g. rehabilitation.
*Any technology dealing with human performance and feedback
The Opportunity:
The successful buyer of these patents will garner the following benefits:
*Generate incremental revenue and profits through licensing 3rd parties participating in this market
*Enhancing their current patent portfolio for cross-licensing purposes
*Kick-start product development in this market with knowledge that you have patent protection.
Non-binding offers from interested parties to acquire these patents and/or technology are expected upon review.
