  • GSCODEs geographical short codes
  • the word geographical is used to indicate that the GSCODE has a geographic relevance to it.
  • GSCODEs are dynamically generated character codes for a given geographical scope that can be of any length but preferably shortest length possible and can also include alphanumerical and symbols as it improves the scalability to make more codes available for use in a given geography.
  • the GSCODEs with its time based activation and expiration factors makes it reusable for a later period with a cool off period.
  • the GSCODEs can be generated only in relation to the geographical scope.
  • a geography scope is defined as a city, town, district or the likes as basic unit and the encompassing state as the higher scope and finally the country of the state as the highest geographical scope.
  • the GSCODE can be generated for geography can be as small as a city, town, district, county, state or a big as a country. It can also be an aggregation of cities, states, countries where it will be active. This allows a GSCODE to be used simultaneously in different locations. ’’All” for country scope indicates that the code is applicable to all countries.
  • the GSCODE is always unique to a geographic scope.
  • a GSCODE is present multiple times in the stored database however they are unique only in the context of a geographic scope. So a GSCODE can be used in two cities but both are seen as different and have different online actions related to them.
  • GSCODE at a higher level such as state level is different from a city based GSCODE as the GSCODE is local to the city where as the state GSCODE is available for an entire state. So, it will be possible to have same GSCODE for a state scope and a city scope however they are treated differently as they can have different online actions associated with them.
  • the GSCODE optionally consist of a token which is the first character and is reserved to be one of the allowed special characters like ‘@’ etc., the token is followed by alphanumeric characters.
  • the tokens could have meanings to indicate if the GSCODE represents an embedded system action (#) or a third party website (@) or an offer ($).
  • the alphanumeric characters can consist of capital and small letters and hence the GSCODE when case sensitive, allows more permutations and combinations.
  • the GSCODEs can be auto-generated by the system or the third-party can request a fancy code which makes it easier to read and/or pronounce such as “#MARCHSALE”.
  • the GSCODEs when automatically generated are shorter in length, starting 4 characters in addition to the token.
  • a fancy GSCODE can be of any length starting from 4 up to 15 characters. All GSCODEs fewer than 4 characters in length can be still generated but kept for special cases including government or other standardized purposes.
  • the length constraints can be configured in the system and changed as per requirements.
  • a GSCODE is usable only when having an active time stamp which is in the present or future.
  • a GSCODE is generated for a city or any requested region such as state or country only upon ensuring that the GSCODE is not already present actively in the database.
  • An existing GSCODE with expiration in the past will be re-used after its cool-off period set in the system.
  • the cool off period of a GSCODE and is configured in the system as number of days. This cool off period reduces confusion when end users mistakenly try an expired GSCODE and end up viewing another online action related to the currently active GSCODE.
  • This GSCODE cool off restriction is geographic scope based and hence an expired GSCODE for a city will not have impact on the same GSCODE in another city.
  • the Directory of GSCODE provides a geography scoped search function to find stored GSCODEs.
  • the Search results contain structured responses with references to online actions that can be rendered within a mobile app or redirected to a third party URL or rendered in a web enabled interface.
  • the GSCODE System provides a query interface to lookup GSCODEs for a given geography.
  • the system uses bubble up search to search the directory system whereby the search results for the code include results from higher geographical scopes such as state and country of the city.
  • the short code generated by the system when publicized, helps the user who sees or hears it to avail that service offered by the service provider of that particular code within the pre-set time frame for the location using a code entry user interface.
  • JSON JavaScript Object Notation
  • JSON is a lightweight, ‘self-describing’ and easy to understand format widely used in the industry.
  • the JSON response will contain a data_type that indicates the online action type and the dataset that provides the data required for online action.
  • the dataset of the associated GSCODE describes data to display multimedia such as video with optional comments, an external hyperlink, data to display poll questionnaire, or any other online activity that is deemed applicable for the end users.
  • the invention consists of a directory of GSCODEs that will have references to region and the dataset that pertains to the call-to-action.
  • the end user is a typical mobile app user or any other device that is internet enabled and has an optional geolocation support.
  • the app needs to pass the location along with the short code to the directory processing system that will provide a structured response based on the end users device (if its mobile app or internet browser).
  • the invention is geospatial and has expiration duration for re-use. This settles all issues in the present prior art forms.
  • a passenger in a train sees short code #1122 on a billboard Ad and enters it into a mobile app to see the video of the Ad.
  • a taxi rider hears short code #1122 pronounced from an on-air local FM radio show and enters it into the same app, but sees an online poll.
  • the GSCODEs have special bubble up search relevance in their geography. This means, the search for a code in a city will have matches at the city scope along with matches for the same code at its corresponding state and country scopes.
  • the search result comprises of structured response marked as per its content such as text information, graphic display information, website, polls, image, multimedia video and the like delivered to the user for each search result identified.
  • the short code As per system design and process, once the short code has been generated, it need not be active in the system for use.
  • the code can be controlled by specifying start and end timestamps.
  • a timestamp is nothing but date and time presented together.
  • An active short code will have an end timestamp in a futuristic time while an expired one will have a past time. While end timestamps decide if a short code has expired or not, Start timestamps are key to know if the code is actively in use or not.
  • a short code can be set to a futuristic start timestamp which will make it available for use only when that date or time is reached. This helps short codes to be generated in advance and use for a future date or time.
  • a short code is typically prefixed with # Token so that the users will enter #1122 for short code 1122.
  • the token can be $ for offers so that #1122 short code can refer to a radio poll in New York city whereas $1122 could refer to an offer from McDonalds in New York City.
  • the Token prefix is optional but this arrangement can scale to more services and players as it leads to more availability of short codes.
  • the system could generate a code ‘heart’ for an advertisement by a research agency that has interests and investments in reaching heart patients for their services in a region.
  • a research agency that has interests and investments in reaching heart patients for their services in a region.
  • Such an agency would include the generated code ‘heart’ in their publicity services such as Ads which could be entered by an interested person in a personal system such a mobile phone app that would directly them to the services of the ‘heart’ agency by opening their website or playing a video related to their organization which is purely the discretion of the agency in deciding what kind of service the interested parties will get.
  • Another example would be a media show like a TV dance show or a radio talk show where the producers of such shows would popularize a code such as ‘VOTE’ to their viewers or listeners that will help the viewers/listeners participate in an opinion poll or participate in a vote to decide the winner of a dance show.
  • VOTE code such as ‘VOTE’
  • Long term codes can be for 1 or more years and extended before due date and codes need not be strict about alphabetical, numerical or have prefixes. It may be in flexible length and combination of characters and it supports all languages. Arabic or any other alphabets could be used, search of short code could also result in matches from any active code that was generated for multiple countries or ‘All’ countries.
