An autofill browser extension or smartphone app provides for the secure storage and autofill populating of webforms with personal user information. A popup menu of stored answers appears in front of or next to a form requesting a user to fill it out. The user selects the right answer to each question and simply drags and drops it, or picks and places it in the corresponding spot in the webform. If the answer needs to be a new one, the user clicks on the box for it in the webform, enters the answer. In alternative embodiments that answer can be automatically added to the menu. Autofill database maintenance is easy and intuitive. A template describing the construction and URL location of the webform is automatically registered with a server and that enables a community of users to share in quicker, easier, form fills.

A system and method of diagnosing a vehicle using a smart phone to collect symptomatic data from the user / driver.

This invention provides a mechanism for enhancing safe use of wireless mobile terminals (smartphones) in a moving vehicle. The Invoke facility service's Boolean expression controls the conditions which invoke smartphone apps into execution. Smartphone apps, which are dangerous to execute in a moving vehicle, are prevented from invocation. Elimination of all smartphone apps in moving vehicles is inadvisable. An app, deploying an accelerometer to sense the impact of a serious collision to call “911” with a recorded message and provides the vehicle's GPS location, is an example. This invention allows an app builder to select invocation conditions for apps. Significant is the use manner of the operation “Not”. The contradiction of an event is also an event meaning that if an event is false, its contradictory event is true. Another important aspect is the conjunctive operation “And Then”. This operation implies an efficient algorithm to evaluate Boolean expressions.

A method provides a mobile billboard messaging app and non-transitory computer readable electronic storage medium. The method includes a computer database electronically storing merchant / advertiser and user information in communication with a software application running in a mobile device of the user. The mobile device has GPS technology, a display screen and Internet connectivity. The method displays on the user's device messages from an advertiser that are logically related to user preferences when the user device is in a given location radius. Where a correlation is found, at least one message from the advertiser is displayed. The message is triggered when the device enters within the given radii from the advertiser. When triggered, the messaging app provides relevant real-time promotions, deals and coupons related to the user preferences. The mobile billboard displays target messages based on both the user's preferences and the user's geographical real-time location.

A mobile billboard messaging icon displays messages related to a user's preferences from an advertiser on the display of a user's devices, such as Smartphone or tablet, having Internet connectivity, location technology, and logic means for determining when the user device is in a given vicinity of the advertiser's location. The coordinate location of the device is used to identify advertiser's locations within a preselected distance that correlate with user's preferences. Where a correlation is found, at least one message from the advertiser is displayed on the Smartphone or tablet device. The message is triggered when the device enters within the given radii from the advertiser. When triggered, the messaging icon provides relevant real-time promotions, deals and coupons for purchase of goods and services of the advertisers or sponsors related to the user preferences. The mobile billboard displays target messages based on both the user's specific preferences and the user's geographical real-time location.

A system and method of providing delivery of medical care through instant patient access to a physician via an application (app) on a smartphone connecting over a network. A patient signs into the system through a smartphone app and selects a category for an emerging medical issue and further submits a detailed description of the presenting issue. A physician instantly receives a notice through the app on a physician smartphone that the patient is waiting a consultation. The physician opens the app, reviews the category and the detailed description and calls the patient directly through the app for a consultation. After the consultation is complete, the physician submits clinical advice through the app, the app electronically mailing the patient with the advice in writing. The physician also submits a prescription to a pharmacy, makes a referral, bills an insurance provider and accepts payment through the app.

The principal purpose of this invention is to provide the mechanism for enhancing the safe use of a wireless mobile terminal (smartphone) in a moving vehicle. The Invoke facility service's Boolean expression controls the conditions for which a smartphone app will be invoked into execution. Hence, smartphone apps, which create dangerous circumstances when executed in a moving vehicle, can be prevented from invocation. The total elimination of smartphone use in a moving vehicle is inadvisable. For example, an app that deploys an accelerometer to sense the impact of a vehicle's serious collision and thereby calls “911” to transmit a recorded message that includes the vehicle's GPS location should be allowed to execute when a vehicle is moving. This invention allows an app builder to select suitable invocation conditions for an app.Significant and pertinent to the invention is the manner in which the Boolean logic operation “Not” is used. Whereas conventional apps are invoked by a positive assertion of an event; the use of the operation “Not” avails negative event assertions in the Boolean expression of an Invoke facility service. That is, the contradiction of an event is also an event; meaning that if an event is false, its contradictory event is true. Another important Boolean logic aspect of this invention is the conjunctive operation of “and then”. The “And Then” operation possesses the same functionality as the conjunctive operation of “And”, but “And Then” also possesses a sequential implication for determining the occurrence of events. The sequential implication provides an efficient means to evaluate the Boolean expressions of the Invoke facility service.

A portable device and a method for a domestic pet to contact its master whenever the pet desires so is disclosed. The device comprises of two units and an interconnecting mechanism between them via wireless communication methods such as Bluetooth© or other equivalent RF technologies. The first unit comprises of a circuit board, an antenna, a camera, LCD screen, a speaker, a microphone and a power source all enclosed in a water resistant housing. It is designed to be mounted on a wall semi-permanently by means of flanges at the top and sides or by using an S-hook for temporary mounting. The second unit comprises of a pet friendly and safe tactile momentary switch and dead weight embedded inside it to keep it firmly on the ground. The second unit is designed to be water proof as well to prevent saliva from pets altering the circuit behaviour. The pet can be very easily trained to tap the pet safe switch whenever it desires to reach out to its master. This action is interpreted by the electronics to send a text message and phone call to its master's cellular phone. The device chooses wireless protocols such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GSM / GPRS to establish this communication. Once the communication is established, the pet and owner can hear and see other. The sharing of video is under the control of the master. This invention comprises of an app that is installed on the owner's smart phone to manage all the functions described above. The master can also remotely turn on audio or video of the device to check in on the pet or monitor its behaviour whenever they desire. A “do not disturb” option on the smartphone app lets the master ignore interrupts from overactive pets for a time duration that is configurable in the app itself. Since it is portable, it can be used at home, at a friend's place or even in a pet hotel. The key benefits of this invention is that it reduces stress levels and separation anxiety in pets and owners whenever they are away. It introduces a new paradigm to pet ownership making it easier for pet owners to be away from their pets without guilt knowing that their pet can stay in touch with them whenever they choose to.
