(TCS), a leader in mobile brand management, contextual intelligence, platform and application development, has been awarded a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Patent 9,338,622, entitled "Contextually Intelligent Communication Systems and Processes," describes mobile experiences through the use of sensors, such as beacons to detect a user's location within a physical space, combined with various sensors on the user's connected device, ultimately enabling the delivery of contextually intelligent experiences based on the user's current context, preferences and past experiences.
