INEO Receives US Patent for Dual Screen INEO Welcoming System

In This Article:

  • The INEO Welcoming System DUO patent gives INEO strong protection for its innovative technology to display Retail Media advertising to customers entering a retail store.

Surrey, British Colombia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 5, 2024) - INEO Tech Corp. (TSXV: INEO) (OTCQB: INEOF) (the "Company" or "INEO"), the operator of INEO Retail Media, today announced it has been granted a US Patent for the dual screen version of its disruptive market technology, branded the INEO Welcoming System DUO.

US Patent number US D1,038,123 S was issued to INEO on August 6, 2024. The patent is valid for 15 years from the date of issue. The INEO Welcoming System DUO was first announced on June 22, 2022. Patents are pending in multiple other jurisdictions around the world and INEO believes they will be issued in due course.

"The INEO team took on a very difficult engineering problem and did an incredible job delivering a product which satisfies all the requirements of a leading Electronic Article Surveillance ("EAS") loss prevention system and an in-store Retail Media device with two large, bright advertising screens," said Greg Watkin, Founder and Chairman of INEO. "The double-sided, large screen advertising system is ideal for retailers with multiple door entrances and exits as the device can display advertising on either side while still protecting the retailer from theft. The display screen on each side can be addressed independently and can serve ads on a unique schedule from each other, doubling the number of impressions available to the INEO Retail Media team to sell. The content on the screens is controlled by INEO's cloud-based content management system or via an integration to a retailer's content management system of choice. It is the ideal in-store Retail Media device to promote products and message customers."

The INEO Welcoming System DUO utilizes the same technology the Company originally designed for the INEO Welcoming System which allows it to operate in both the Accousto-Magnetic (AM) 58KHz frequency spectrum and the 8.2MHz frequency spectrum. Additionally, the INEO Welcoming System can detect and report RFID tags at the same time as detecting the other frequencies, making it a key component of retailers "Smart Entrance/Exit" initiatives. Digital display screens are inherently radio frequency "noisy" as they cause electromagnetic interference which hinders the detection of loss prevention tags in a retail store; however, INEO has developed technology which allows the EAS loss prevention and the RFID detection aspects of the system to still operate effectively with two large digital display screens located within the detection field.
