When used with PaperClick Mobile Go-Window(TM), NeoMedia's new wireless product which creates a text-entry window on a phone or PDA screen, registered words (or registered phrases) are entered to bring up an automatic link to specific targeted products and promotions.
"Just imagine entering a word or short phase, such as a product name or description, and immediately going to the appropriate Web site on your mobile device," said Charles T. Jensen, president, CEO and COO of NeoMedia. "Soon, users of the PaperClick Go-Window will be able to enter a registered word to quickly and easily get the information they need to make a purchase decision, receive a promotion, and more . . . all automatically."
Announced at CTIA
The announcement of the NeoMedia-SAIC teaming arrangement to create the WordRegistry was made at CTIA 2004 at Moscone West, the semi-annual event for the international wireless telecommunications industry, where the patented PaperClick(R) platform is being shown and demonstrated in the Intel PCA (Internet Personal Client Architecture) booth (#421) and NeoMedia booth (#567).
Linking Words and Internet Sites
The WordRegistry will be the official mechanism and repository of information and data pertaining to direct mappings of words and word phrases to their associated digital content. Words or word phrases registered by marketing-driven companies will enable on-going interactive communications between marketer and customer.
Words and phrases will work on NeoMedia's recently-introduced PaperClick Mobile Go-Window, a wireless product that creates a text-entry window on a PDA or cell phone screen in which users can enter a registered Word, such as a product name, or ID and be automatically linked to specific targeted information via patented PaperClick technology and software.
