Patent 1: USPTO 9,208,337. Filing Date Sept 22, 2010Systems, Methods, and Software Applications for Providing an Identity and Age-Appropriate Verification Registry.
This utility patent covers the ability for an individual to register or claim a relationship between an individual and another individual where that individual is represented by a unique device identifier and an associated date of birth.
A system for providing an identity and age-sensitive information registry includes various modules. In one implementation, system may include a registration module configured to allow parents and their children to register an account with the registry; and a request processing module configured to enable third parties to query the registry to see if any individual is registered and has authority or consent to access age-sensitive content, products or services or share data that could become publicly available by the third party.

Patent 3: USPTO 11,165,782. Filed Oct 21, 2019Systems, Methods, and Software Applications for Providing an Identity and Age-Appropriate Verification registry.
In some embodiments, a first account and a second account may be maintained within a registry system, where the first and second accounts are respectively associated with first and second individuals. As an example, the first individual may be guardian or a legally responsible party for the second individual. Responsive to device identifying information related to the second individual being received by an online service, a request may be received from an entity associated with the online service to determine whether the second individual is registered with the registry.
The registry may be queried to determine whether the second individual is registered with the registry based on the device identifying information and information regarding the second individual. Responsive to a determination that the second individual is registered, an indication may be provided to the requesting entity whether the online service is allowed to receive personal information of the second individual.

Patent 4: USPTO 9,841,866. Filed Feb 23,2012. R21 AcquisitionSystems and Methods for Facilitating Interactions between Children and Experts.
The invention relates to a system and method for providing a virtual environment that facilitates education and knowledge gathering by users. In particular, interactions among users that are children or youth are facilitated with adult experts having specific areas of expertise, thereby providing enhanced access to information for the users.
Virtual environments, such as social networking sites, micro-blogging services, virtual worlds or spaces, forums, list serves, chat forums, and/or other virtual environments are known. Generally, these environments tend to be configured either for use by children and/or youths, or for use by adults. Aside from the content provided in such virtual environments, the privacy, modes of communication, registration processes, and/or other aspects of the virtual environments may be tailored for one of these two groups. As such, a virtual environment in which children and/or youths can engage adults unknown to them in the real world for the purpose of learning, receiving counsel, and/or networking may not exist.
A virtual environment may be provided to facilitate education and knowledge gathering by users. The users may include children, youth, and/or other users. The users may be enabled to form connections between themselves and/or experts, and to communicate between themselves and/or with experts. Users may be provided with a different interface than experts.

Patent 7: WIPO. Proxicached Acquisition, July 2021 PCT Application: PCT/US2014/043573 Dec 24, 2014Wireless Network and MAC Address Device Detection System and Methods.
Systems and methods described herein reference a global registry of wireless devices, which may be identified by wireless identifiers (wireless IDs), such as device names and media access control (MAC) addresses. Exemplary systems and methods may facilitate control over privacy settings associated with devices by adjusting settings of devices in the global registry. Privacy settings may include the ability to track/trace device locations and the content presented to the device. Privacy settings may be associated with wireless IDs thereby allowing parties who would otherwise track wireless IDs determine privacy preferences of individual device owners.

Patent 8: WIPO. Proxicached Acquisition, July 2021Wireless Network and MAC Address Device Detection System and Methods.
A system and method for registering network information strings. An information string server device receives a request to register a network information string from a computing device. The network information string may be included in a message broadcast by a string broadcast station. The information string server device determines whether the network information string has been previously registered with the information string server device. The information string server device stores the network information string in a record of an information string datastore when the network information string has not been previously registered with the information string server device. A registration acceptance message may be sent by the information string server device to the computing device when the network information string has not been previously registered with the information string server device.
