Xybernaut Granted 'Way Point' Patents in Taiwan For Location-Specific Information Delivery Monday October 20, 9:25 am ET Patent Defines Architecture for Delivering and Receiving Information for Commercial, Government/Military and Consumer Applications FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 20, 2003-- Xybernaut® Corporation (Nasdaq:XYBR - News), today announced it has been granted a patent by the Taiwan Patent Office (JPO) for leaving and retrieving messages and data of all types at specific locations -- such as coordinate way points -- within a commercial mobile radio service (CMRS) provider network or other networks. The Taiwan patent, which relates to the Xybernaut U.S. patent No. 6,377,793 entitled, "System and Method of Accessing and Recording Messages at Coordinate Way Points," covers the technology for directing messages or information to a specific location. The information, which could be personalized for individuals or organizations, could be any type of information, including voice messages, audio, video, animation, Web sites, documents, text or e-mail. "We consider our intellectual property among the Company's most valuable assets and Way Point to be one of our crown jewels," said Edward G. Newman, chairman and CEO of Xybernaut. "Though it is often very difficult to receive patent coverage in the Far East, we have taken great strides to strategically protect these valuable assets in many of the largest global markets." Xybernaut is currently discussing applications with corporations, government entities and other organizations as part of a recently enhanced Licensing Plan related to Xybernaut intellectual property. Since Way Point is device independent, it will work with virtually any information appliance such as GPS-enabled or other location-determining devices that can communicate and/or retrieve data over various types of networks. The devices could be future technology or currently available items such as cell phones, PDAs, wearable computers, wristwatch PCs, laptops or GPS-enabled automobiles. The information could be accessible by any subscriber or specifically tailored for certain individuals or subscriber segment(s). Subscribers will be able to retrieve information at specific coordinate locations while traveling within the network. Examples of business applications would be direct marketing; one-to-one focused marketing; field force automation; asset management and electronic commerce. Consumer applications might be emergency response; notifying drivers of dangers before they approach an accident scene or road hazard; notifying consumers of discounts near a retail outlet; or notifying a traveler of the location of a favorite type of restaurant. A variety of military and homeland security applications also exist. Examples of current networks on which the Way Point architecture can operate include cellular networks, satellite arrays, two-way radio and/or spread spectrum microwave networks. Many other types of communications networks are under development, such as geographically-based 802.11 "Hot Spots" that provide broadband wireless network connectivity within a defined area. Subscribers simply configure profiles that define information preferences and the manner in which information is to be presented. Users/subscribers will carry or transport location-aware (such as GPS) or intelligent devices for communicating and/or retrieving information over any type of network. Service providers and subscribers will utilize these information appliances to deliver and/or retrieve information at specific coordinate locations while traveling within the networks. The Taiwan Patent Office (JPO) issued the Way Point patent as Taiwan patent No. 178077 entitled "Method of Accessing and Recording Messages at Coordinate Way Points." This Taiwan patent is related to Xybernaut U.S. patent -- No. 6,377,793 with same titles.
