Texas Business Patent Of The Day: Two South Texas residents developed a way to get children to learn how to read books by writing books.
Alfredo Marroquin of McAllen and Mateo Salazar Sr. of Mission received U.S. Patent 8,112,029 for “Method for Developing Writing Skills by Creating Customized Books Using a Network.”
The two men applied for the patent more than four years ago on September 27, 2007.
The patent assignee is Little Green Applies Inc. of McAllen.
Marroquin and Salazar’s invention is a method for creating a book having at least one story using a network, such as a world wide network. The two saw a need for encouraging writing in children who are prone to play games on the internet and otherwise fail to use computers in a manner that promotes development of useful skills.
In addition, the two saw a way to capture quickly and easily the writings of consultants and combining those writings with clip art or with commissioned art and easily create a formatted book for printing on a home computer.
The system presents a subscription service which enables individuals to create and print books with stories, characters, and art combinations unique to the writer.
Computer instructions are used to provide a welcome message, provide a security feature to the user, provide a free tour of the service for creating the book, and offer a search tool to browse a dynamic information database containing artwork, text, characters, contact information for artists and authors to provide commissioned work, and rules of usage.
The computer instructions also offer viewing of artwork having high viewing frequency, provide a payment selection to become a subscriber, and process payment by the user. A subscriber is then allowed to create a unique book, store selections and work under an account having a secure account number, and print at least a portion of the unique book on a printer owned, controlled, or designated by the subscriber. |
