PATENT GRANTED TO INTERTAINMENT MEDIA SUBSIDIARY
The United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted Intertainment Media Inc. a patent for "System and method for sharing information between two or more devices."
United States Patent No. US 8,917,631 B2 was granted on December 23, 2014, and it is described as follows:
A system and method for sharing digital information between two or more devices in close proximity using a sound signal. The sending device obtains a globally unique share identifier from an information sharing system. The sending device then uploads the digital information to be shared to the information sharing system and transmits the sharing identifier to a receiving device via sound signals. The receiving device communicates the sharing identifier to the information sharing system and receives the digital information from the information sharing system. The information transferred from the sharing system can be password encrypted, the information transfer can be limited to a specific time period or the information transfer can be limited to receiving devices located within a specific geographic extent. In some embodiments of the invention, the sending device broadcasts a sound signal with a sharing identifier encoded in the sound stream and a plurality of receiving devices access digital information at the information sharing system using the sharing identifier as recovered from the sound stream.
The patent, which was applied for in August 2011, allows for the protection of our technology where two or more devices in proximity to one another, can communicate information, such as language services digital information, or other digital information such as commercial services via sound signals. The patent was granted to Ortsbo Inc., which is now branded under the name TranzActive, a division of Intertainment Media Inc. Additionally, Yappn Corp. (OTCQB: YPPN), a TranzActive partner, under its agreement will also have access to the patent for its real-time language services offerings.

Pearlman, President and COO Intertainment Media. "The patent application process is long and arduous however the granting of our patent in relation to the sharing of information between devices via sound signal provides substantive validation and protection for our technology intellectual property."
