Legacy IP Announces its Smartphone Digital Wallet Patent Application Number 12/650,278

Santa Cruz, CA (PRWEB) November 16, 2011

Legacy IP announced today they're exploring the sale and or licensing of their US patent application 12/650,278, entitled HAND-HELD ELECTRONICS DEVICE FOR AGGREGATION OF AND MANAGEMENT OF PERSONAL ELECTRONIC DATA. The application reads on a smartphone with credit card management and transaction technology.

"In 2008 we invented a new smartphone that incorporates the technology of both contact and contactless credit cards. Our idea merges a smartphone with credit card and smart card transaction capabilities to create the world's first digital wallet. The invention enables the user to store and access all their credit card and personal identification data within a smartphone. Once the data is captured the user can access any of their credit cards by selecting them through the associated software app. Once the user has selected the credit card they'd like to use the card data is written to an internal rewritable blank smart card which is stored within the smartphone, after which the card ejects and is ready for use in transactions according to Peter Garrett, CEO of Legacy IP.

US patent application 12/650,278 represents a growing trend in the integration of credit card transaction technology and smartphones. With the launch of Googles Mobile Wallet and Googles recent acquisition of Motorola Mobility were confident this market will continue to expand and the demand for IP that reads on this technology will grow with it, said Paul Regen, President of Legacy IP.

Legacy IPs smartphone IP portfolio continues to grow. At present there are three applications (12/650,278, 12/651,214 and 12/559,671), all with filing dates reaching back to 2008.

Grey Oaks Country Club Introduces Interactive Smartphone App

Naples, FL (PRWEB) November 08, 2011

Nationally recognized as one of the top private clubs nationwide, Grey Oaks Country Club has again set itself apart from the rest with the release of their new iPhone and Android app. The app will be used to communicate news and upcoming events, along with many other great features, to their current and prospective members. The app is going to be a great resource for us to market our amenities to our entire Grey Oaks family, said Jim Butler, General Manager at Grey Oaks Country Club, Naples, FL.

The idea behind the development of the app for Grey Oaks Country Club was to find the most convenient and best source of communication to capitalize on marketing exposure. With that in mind, it made sense to utilize the functionality of the emerging smartphones and applications available. We create unique and rewarding experiences for our members and guests, and this app allows us to achieve that goal, said Karl Bublitz, Director of Golf at Grey Oaks.

The Grey Oaks Country Club app embraces features such as club news, detailed event information combined with the ability to make reservations for upcoming events, and a slideshow of pictures showcasing the luxurious property. The app also allows members to post their score or make a future tee time reservation after finishing a round of golf using the app-available on course GPS. I hope all of our members will find the app as useful and user-friendly as I have already found it, said Susan Mullican, Board of Directors Secretary and Member at Grey Oaks.

The app is an addition to the technology-based marketing efforts currently available at the club. Some of the other avenues Grey Oaks uses are e-mail advertising for announcements and upcoming events, an interactive members-only website and their very own private community channel.

The free Grey Oaks Country Club app is available in the iTunes App Store and in the Android Market. Grey Oaks Country Club is on a very short list of clubs to explore this new and innovative technology experience for their membership.
