There is a groundbreaking startup looking for IT guru partner. This may be the opportunity of a lifetime for someone with the right skills. Briefly about the project:

 

Intellectual property exists in the form of US Patent 7,089,319

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INSTANTANEOUS ON-DEMAND DELIVERY OF MULTIMEDIA CONTENT OVER A COMMUNICATION NETWORK WITH AID OF CONTENT CAPTURING COMPONENT, DELIVERY-ON-DEMAND CLIENT AND DYNAMICALLY MAPPED RESOURCE LOCATOR SERVER.

http://www.google.com/patents/about?id=NsV6AAAAEBAJ&dq=7,089,319

 

Basically, I am looking to put together a beta for pure web-based “Skype/Chatroulette” type of online service. The premise is rather simple, yet new and groundbreaking. This is not a “me too” – there is nothing like this out there. There are two basic functions envisioned:

 

• Direct connect. User-to-user connectivity via web-browser for live audio-video communication (Like Skype, only in-the-cloud, instant and purely web browser based).
• “Chat Roulette” with enhanced GeoIP tagging. This takes “rouletting” to the whole new level, as one could connect to random groups of users by GeoIP attributes – “x miles from me”, city/town, keyword etc.

Database schematic has been drafted.

Camtuber.com portal would also allow “porting in” Facebook user profile.

All of this can be accomplished with the following toolset:

 

• Adobe Stratus Server with Adobe Player 10.0. This manages P2P connectivity, so users connect to each other and traffic does not flow through the server. Adobe Flex/Flash Builder is required to code and compile this logic.
• MySQL back-end server database, or the like.
• Basic GeoIP database.
• PHP manages scripting and HTML
• Facebook connectivity

The marketing end of this will be managed by me and other well positioned partners. The idea is to build up user base and then exit by selling to Facebook, Google etc. The existing IP in combination with working Beta would get investors attention. There are already existing inquiries from top national VC shops looking for a beta of this.

We offer 15-20% equity in the enterprise to someone with strong technical background and vision, able to bring this online yesterday. The potential payout is multi-million, worst case scenario you sharpen up on Adobe toolset experience.

 

If you have the skills, or know someone who does, please contact me directly anthony.lysenko@gmail.com

Hey, you were the first "responder" thus far. This section is performing like pure magic!

how expensive was it to get the patent? good luck with the next step.

Depending on the claims. If you do it yourself, without an attorney, then you will pay the government fees only...http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/ac/qs/ope/fee2009september15.htm

I don't do code no mo.., but stay away from MySQL..... or at least switch to real DB as soon as money allows...

Adobe server will give you scalability and performance issues...

Yes, MySQL is a temporary solution before we get somne real investment. Adobe server infringes on my patent, so I am using Adobe Stratus technolgy to demonstrate that very fact. Obviously, this could be done with Java (Red5 for instance). I did find a partner, btw. Not on this board, but locally here in Sarasota and we are plugging away at it.

I have not had much experience with the patent law and the only experince I have got was the company's patent traing. Having said that, it seems to me that it would be very difficult to enforce the patent as it is written; it offers too mach specifics. For example section (j) partitioning said video content into a sequence of video frames; wherein each said video frame is marked with unique time stamp;

If someone else simply mark each frame not with a time stamp but a sequence number of sorts he/she would not infringe on your patent.

That is not to say that you should not do it.

Good point. Too general of a claim is just as bad as too specific, as it will infringe on prior art. Striking the right balance is the key here. If it all boils down to an argument over "unique time stamp", while the rest of the claim applies, the judge is likely to issue infringement verdict. Undex form a,b,c,d,e can be argued to be a form of a unique time stamp, as it represents equally spaced sequence along time series, for example. The general weakness of the patent is that the claims were not expanded enought - i.e. I had 2 years to expand the claims and add additional claims, and I did not do it.
