Let’s Roll Marketing LLC (LRM) announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued U.S. Patent No. 12,659,408, titled “Compute Systems and Processes for Video Messages,” to inventors Thomas Rocha III and Darren C. Fransella. The grant covers all twenty claims and marks the first issuance in the SSOAR (Session-Scoped Orthogonal Authority and Routing) patent portfolio, a coordinated ten-filing family with a September 4, 2024, priority foundation.

The portfolio originated from practical work on real-time communication failures in video, wait-state handling, and accessibility before Rocha recognized the shared session-authority constraint now expressed across the SSOAR family.

Real-time interactions increasingly pass through changing states: automated handling to media playback, media playback to a live agent, live agent to an AI pipeline, and AI pipeline to compliance capture. In conventional architectures, each transition may require a new dialog, security context, or session. Context fragments. Accommodation state drops. Audit trails break. Policy decisions made at the beginning of an interaction may not govern its end. SSOAR addresses that structural gap by treating the live interaction as the authority boundary.

The issued claims define a single-session authority boundary tied to the session identifier established during interception. No new session authority is created during the retrieval or streaming of the prerecorded media file, and routing, streaming, and reply capture remain bound to that same identifier. In practical terms, Hermes-Echo keeps an unanswered video call alive: the system identifies the caller, checks availability, streams a context-aware prerecorded response, and captures the caller’s reply without breaking the session. One session governs the interaction.

SSOAR is not merely a communications feature. It is a constraint architecture for preserving authority while live interactions mutate. The defining question is whether a bounded live interaction preserves persistent session authority while the governed conditions change within the boundary. Hermes-Echo is the first issued patent in that architecture.

The international counterpart application PCT/US2025/044821 received a favorable International Search Report indicating that all 20 claims were novel, inventive, and industrially applicable under PCT Article 33, with no X or Y category citations filed against any claim. LRM intends foreign filings consistent with the strategic scope of the portfolio.

The broader SSOAR architecture extends beyond the issued Hermes-Echo claims and is represented across filings addressing session governance, pre-session context, accessibility continuity, AI pipeline negotiation, session graph orchestration, multimodal interaction, compute arbitration, data-residency routing, Zero Trust authority, and provenance and replay. Warten, the pre-session context application, has been allowed with all nineteen claims allowed as drafted and is proceeding toward issuance.

Patent prosecution is led by Samar Shah and Ian Holloway of Outlier Patent Attorneys, PLLC.

“As AI agents, IoE devices, and quantum-era networks converge, the scarce resource will not be connection. It will be authority,” said Thomas Rocha III, CEO and co-inventor. “Every media stream, device signal, agent action, and compute handoff has to be governed somewhere. SSOAR puts that governance inside the session boundary.”

With the anchor patent issued, Warten allowed and proceeding toward issuance, a pending continuation, a favorable international search record, and 2026 field evidence showing independent convergence toward session-scoped governance, LRM is engaging qualified strategic participants for the SSOAR portfolio.

SSOAR is not a rip-and-replace architecture. It is a constraint framework for preserving session-scoped authority across existing communications, compute, AI, accessibility, compliance, and governance infrastructure. The strategic value lies in treating session-scoped authority not as an add-on feature, but as infrastructure.

Let’s Roll Marketing LLC (LRM) today announced the publication of two patent applications forming the foundational layer of SSOAR, a session governance architecture for real-time distributed systems.

The first publication, Hermes-Echo, was filed as International Application No. PCT/US2025/044821 under the title “Compute Systems and Processes for Video Messages.” During international search under the Patent Cooperation Treaty, the International Searching Authority issued a Written Opinion finding that claims 1 through 20 satisfy the criteria of novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability under PCT Articles 33(2)-(4), concluding that the prior art does not teach or fairly suggest the claimed subject matter. These claims relate to a specific session continuity mechanism implemented within real-time communication systems: the maintenance of a single governing session identifier across interception, routing, media delivery, and asynchronous response without terminating the underlying communication session. The search was conducted across classification codes covering telecommunications session control and real-time communications, domains with decades of accumulated prior art across standards bodies and commercial systems.

The broader SSOAR architecture extends beyond these initial claims and is represented across a coordinated family of filings addressing session governance, orchestration, policy enforcement, compute coordination, and data residency. Each filing addresses a distinct coordination layer within the same architectural model.

The application describes an architectural method for maintaining session continuity within a single governed interaction. When conditions change during a live exchange, the session identity persists: media routing, policy enforcement, and asynchronous responses occur within that same context rather than requiring the interaction to terminate and restart.

A second coordinated filing, Warten, titled “Pre-Recorded Video Ads Play in Video Call Wait Room,” addresses the intervals that current architectures treat as structurally inert. In communications systems today, wait states represent ungoverned time: the session is nominally open, but no coordinated activity occurs within it. Warten introduces a model in which the session remains active and governed during those intervals, making them available to media, services, and responses operating within the same continuous context. As real-time systems become more deeply integrated with AI services and the Internet of Everything (IoE), these intervals are gaining consequence across domains where continuity matters: telehealth coordination, remote education, emergency response, and enterprise AI workflows among them.

“For nearly ninety years the answering machine has followed the same assumption: the call ends first, and the message begins second,” said Tom Rocha, co-inventor and CEO of Let’s Roll Marketing LLC. “What this architecture shows is that the interaction never actually needs to terminate. The session itself can remain continuous. Video is just data. Once that boundary disappears, entirely new classes of platforms become possible. When the session becomes the container, everything else, media, accessibility, AI services, and policy, can operate inside it rather than being bolted on afterward.”

SSOAR (Session-Scoped Orthogonal Authority and Routing) defines a governance plane for live interactions that coordinates communications, AI services, accessibility features, and policy decisions within a single persistent session identity. Independent analysis of failure patterns across distributed systems, spanning Zero Trust security, AI coordination, data residency, accessibility, and mobile network complexity, consistently points to the same structural gap: no layer owns coordination at the interaction boundary. SSOAR is designed to address that gap directly, treating session governance as a governing layer of the interaction rather than a feature to be added after the fact.

Hermes-Echo represents the first published component of the SSOAR patent family, with Warten introducing additional capabilities within the same model. Both filings carry native accessibility provisions: session continuity and governed wait states directly address the coordination gaps where real-time accommodation services most commonly fail. Additional filings extend the architecture across session orchestration, multimodal interaction, compute placement, recording, trust management, and a dedicated accessibility negotiation layer, addressing the full range of coordination failures that distributed systems encounter as AI, real-time infrastructure, and the Internet of Everything (IoE) converge.

LRM continues to develop and refine the family with a focus on the coordination challenges emerging at the intersection of AI, real-time infrastructure, and the Internet of Everything (IoE).
