Context Connect Awarded US Patent for Communication Connectivity via Context Association

Boston, MA, March 03, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Context Connect, LLC. (“CCL or the Company”), a leading provider of directory based connectivity services, today announced it has been awarded US Patent #7,899,173 – Communication Connectivity via Context Association, Advertising Sponsorship, and Multiple Context Databases. 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 through a private-based directory platform (no phone numbers revealed). Communication connectivity can be advertiser sponsored, with the advertisements accompanying messages selected by matching profile information of target subscribers with participating advertiser provided profile information of desired targeted subscribers.

“This patent strengths our position within the privacy based communication market,” stated Sunny Ahn, CEO and President of Context Connect. “Our IP portfolio will help protect our ability to provide private connectivity calls from any web or mobile site that protects the privacy of the target subscriber.”

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.
