ASM, I suggest that you read the following two links. More than anything else, (except for the obvious momo crowd pump), this patent application and pending issuance is the reason behind the recent interest in NEOM IMO.

MESSAGING INTERCHANGE SYSTEM


Abstract
Machine-readable codes are read, decoded and resolved by a messaging system in order to perform a desired function. If the code is not native to that (home) messaging system, then a resolution request is made to a central messaging interchange system to determine which other (destination) messaging system is native to and can resolve that code. The messaging interchange system then either returns the appropriate routing information back to the home messaging system (in which case the home messaging system sends the resolution request directly to the destination messaging system) or forwards the resolution request to the destination messaging system itself. The destination messaging system transmits a resolution response message to the home messaging system, either directly or via the messaging interchange system

[0012] The present invention is a message interchange system that provides a method via which individual messaging systems can collaborate and interoperate in order to allow each system to extend support to codes of the other systems. Specifically, the system of the present invention is designed to allow a messaging system which receives a foreign code (i.e. not a code native to that OMS) to submit that code to the messaging interchange system for identification and correct routing information or to redirect the code to the correct messaging system (e.g.) resolution server. The messaging interchange system takes the responsibility for determining the correct owner of the code, providing routing information back to the home (originating) messaging system or routing the request to the destination messaging system (the owning messaging system), and returning an indication of the function that is to be performed back to the home messaging system via a standardized protocol. The home messaging system can then translate this information into its own internal formats, and arrange for the intended operation to be performed for the user.

[0013] The net effect of this is that, assuming Company A and Company B support each other's barcode symbologies, codes produced by Company B's messaging system can be transparently read and serviced by Company A's access points (and vice versa), thus extending the reach and interoperability of both companies, vastly improving the end user experience, thereby facilitating market adoption of messaging systems and services as a whole.
