What’s Next?…Upcoming Tracking
Contest for Guardian Patch Plays into Phenomenon of New GPS Location Mobile
Apps Like Pokémon Go
PERRIS, California, Point Roberts WA, - July 19,
2016 - Investorideas.com, a global news source covering tech stocks interviews
Danny Rittman, CTO of Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB:GOPH). Danny
talks about the recent milestone of completing Guardian Patch prototype units,
their location technology that works with or without GPS and the extensive
testing program underway.
Danny
also talks about their pending consumer contest to locate a Guardian Patch, at
a certain location in a certain time, via simply looking at the Guardian Patch
APP (no registration required), resembling Pokémon Go, though not virtual… and a chance to win a $500 prize. Pokémon Go, the GPS-based augmented reality mobile
game that lets players catch and train Pokémon characters has taken the world
by storm. The app has taken over rank of leaders in social media, passing
Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat in Google Play on Android devices. Danny is
hoping that this new worldwide buzz about GPS tracking apps can build consumer
interest for their stick-on tracking device that protects and tracks objects
and also potentially saves lives.

Q: Investorideas.com
Danny can
you update our readers on the status and progress of the current Guardian Patch
prototypes? For example, what you are tracking and how they are working?
A: Danny Rittman,
CTO of Gopher Protocol
Inc.
Our
Guardian Patch prototype units were completed and successfully passed the
initial testing phase. During the next few weeks, we will extend our testing to
push the limits of our technology in order to achieve the highest performance.
In addition, we are already testing statistical analysis and other data for our
prototype units. As a courtesy to the public, our mobile apps are available on
the app stores to download, so they can experience our progress. Currently we
are tracking vehicles - among them are cars, bicycles, as well as objects that
are not supposed to move… and similar things.
Q: Investorideas.com
How
quickly are you retrieving data and location info and is there anywhere our
readers can go to your site and get updates on what you are tracking?
A: Danny Rittman,
CTO of Gopher Protocol
Inc.
The
prototype units are tested for Real-Time
tracking. The devices are reporting their location every ten (10) seconds
so users can view live on our mobile apps. Since we are in intensive testing
and constantly releasing new mobile apps, I recommend to re-download your
Guardian Patch app every few days to stay up-to-date. As a courtesy, we posted
on Guardian’s FB page images of the routes used for testing we conducted.
Q: Investorideas.com
How long
will you be testing these units and once you are happy with the performance
what is the next step to bring the Guardian
Patch to market?
A: Danny Rittman,
CTO of Gopher Protocol
Inc.
We are
now in the advanced testing stage that should take about 2-3 weeks. Then we
will conduct further testing in larger cities that should take another 2-4
weeks. Within weeks from now we will
summarize the prototypes conclusions, finalize our design and start the
construction of the final product.
Q: Investorideas.com
Can you
quickly explain what makes your tracking technology different from what most
consumers would expect based on what is in their car and the GPS tracking being
used for Pokémon Go?
A: Danny Rittman,
CTO of Gopher Protocol
Inc.
Our
technology is using GPS services but
not limited by it. The main advantage of our system is our own
GuardianNet positioning system. This system provides the device’s positioning
using its own private network which is not GPS based. In the new GPS based
game, Pokémon Go, Guardian Patch may provide essential information about the
figures, even if GPS services are not available. This may provide an essential
advantage for players. Furthermore, since players are being put at risk
tracking the characters on their mobile map, Guardian Patch potentially can
warn them about approaching roads, railways, dangerous terrain and landscapes.
As Guardian Patch can detect location-based and pin-point locations, a potential
custom version of the Guardian device will provide better mapping…even for
streets which are not on current mapping.
Q: Investorideas.com
Danny,
can you tell us about your upcoming contest for consumers to track the Guardian Patch; how it will work and
when it will launch?
A: Danny Rittman,
CTO of Gopher Protocol
Inc.
The
contest is called “Find Patch #1”. We will have a Guardian Patch #1 car. This
car will travel to a specific location carrying one of the Guardian Patch
devices at a certain date and time. Users may download our app (free and no
registration needed), track the car’s location, login to our website/landing
page, enter the location and among those a draw for a grand prize will be made
periodically. We expect to launch this contest sometime in the upcoming months.
Q: Investorideas.com
Danny can
you talk about your personal concerns over the recent injuries of people
playing the Pokémon Go game (falling off a cliff and walking into cars etc.)
and how you think your tracking technology could potentially prevent similar
accidents?
A: Danny Rittman,
CTO of Gopher Protocol
Inc.
A
Real-Time pinpoint location device is necessary in order to prevent players
from being hurt. We are working on precise location and recently announced that
Guardian Patch LLC – our JV partner, is currently developing its new
Dimensional Positioning System ("DPS"). One of the key components of
the DPS system is its multi-dimensional, vector-based sensors, that networks all
members through centralized triangulation where each node is self-routing and
able to connect to other nodes as needed-even in harsh weather conditions and
complex landscapes. Especially when this type of location-based game is in the
hands of young children, it is our duty to equip them with another tracking
device that will alert them about approaching dangerous situations like roads,
railways, terrain conditions and similar. In my vision (as a future product)
each player should have a Guardian Patch in the form of a small box (or one can
affix the future first generation of the patch to the phone…). The “GuardianGo”
tracks in Real-Time the user’s location and is sensitive to dangerous
conditions. The GuardianGo will alert the user via a loud audible tone, vibration
and strobe-light signal about approaching dangerous situations. But again, this
is NOT the current version of the Guardian Patch, it is just an example what
GopherInsight(TM) technology is capable of.
Q: Investorideas.com
Interesting
that you bring it up, Danny. Just a few days ago ABC exclusive released a video
about “Scuba diver rescued after six
hours at sea unfazed by ordeal” (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-07-06/scuba-diver-rescued-six-hours-sea-unfazed-by-ordeal/7574496?WT.tsrc=Facebook) - could Guardian Patch assist in a
case like that, theoretically of course?
A: Danny Rittman,
CTO of Gopher Protocol
Inc.
Not
theoretically at all - once we release the product. As you know, the Guardian Patch has a beacon
feature - once removed (pulled off) it will send - SOS location signal (to the
registered authorized contact info – including 911 if permitted by user), until
the patch exhausts the battery – as such, the patch will die - So Others Can Live.
Q: Investorideas.com
Danny
just one last question for our readers- where and when can people go to
register for your contest and is your site set up for potentially thousands of
players coming on board?
A: Danny Rittman,
CTO of Gopher Protocol
Inc.
We will
have a special registration page on our web site in few weeks.
The Guardian Patch (the "Patch"),
potentially arriving in consumer markets in 2017, is a unique location
technology that works with or without GPS. The Patch is a "stick-on"
device that provides its users with the capability to protect and track
objects, a loved-one or even a pet, through a mobile application. Download the
Patch app, register your patch, and track anything that you own on your mobile
device or on our designated website. Register the Patches of your family
members and friends to receive alerts in the event of an emergency. Peel the
Patch off and the Patch acts as a beacon, sending out a signal and notifying
anyone who has registered the user's Patch.
Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB: GOPH) ("Gopher" and the
"Company") (http://gopherprotocol.com/) is a development-stage
company developing a real-time, heuristic-based mobile technology. Upon development,
the technology will consist of a smart microchip, mobile application software
and supporting software that will run on a server. The system contemplates the
creation of a global network. Gopher believes this will be the first system
that is developed using a human, heuristic-based analysis engine. Since the core
of the system will be its advanced microchip technology that will be capable of
being installed in any mobile device worldwide, Gopher expects that this will
result in an internal, private network between all mobile devices utilizing the
microchip by providing mobile technology for computing power enhancement,
advanced mobile database management/sharing and other additional mobile
features.
