Segment Information [Abstract]

Segment Information

15.  Segment Information

FASB has established guidance for reporting information about operating segments that require segmentation based on our internal organization and reporting of revenue and operating income, based on internal accounting methods. Our financial reporting systems present various data for management to operate the business prepared in methods consistent with such guidance.

During 2012, we entered into settlement and licensing agreements that effectively ended all of our then ongoing intellectual property litigation activities (Note 17).  As a result of these agreements, we will no longer be pursuing patent litigation as an integral funding strategy for our operations.

We will continue to pursue the intellectual property initiatives it has have undertaken in conjunction with our relationship with ipCapital, however we believe that these initiatives do not comprise a reporting segment as the intent of these initiatives is to support and leverage its current software products and those in development.

Also, effective for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, we added a new segment (hopTo) and identified that we currently operate our business in two segments; namely GO-Global and hopTo.  Currently our GO-Global segment is the only segment that generates revenue.

Segment revenue for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

					Increase (Decrease)
	2013		2012		Dollars		Percentage
GO-Global	$	1,617,000	$	1,610,600	$	6,400		0.4	%
hopTo		—		—		—		n/a
Consolidated Total	$	1,617,000	$	1,610,600	$	6,400		0.4	%

Segment  income (loss) from continuing operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 3013 and 2012 was as follows:

	2013			2012
GO-Global	$	38,000		$	(799,900	)
hopTo		(491,000	)		(399,600	)
Total		(453,000	)		(1,199,500	)

We do not allocate interest, other income,  other expense, or income tax to our segments.

As of March 31, 2013 segment fixed assets (long-lived assets) were as follows:

			Accumulated
			Depreciation
	Cost Basis		/Amortization			Net
GO-Global	$	1,862,100	$	(1,691,300	)	$	170,800
hopTo		895,100		(66,100	)		829,000
Total from continuing operations		2,757,200		(1,757,400	)		999,800
Discontinued operations		2,839,000		(2,839,000	)		—
Unallocated		46,900		—			46,900
Total	$	5,643,100	$	(4,596,400	)	$	1,046,700

We do maintain any significant long-lived assets outside of the United States.

Products and services provided by the GO-Global segment include all currently available versions of the GO-Global family of products, OEM private labeling kits, software developer's kits, maintenance contracts, and product training and support. The hopTo segment, which is under development, will provide mobile end-users with a productivity workspace for their mobile devices that will allow users to manage, share, view, and edit their documents, regardless of where they are stored. We launched the first public release of hopTo through Apple's App Store in April 2013.  The two segments do not engage in cross-segment transactions.

Amounts pertaining to our ipCapital initiatives are included in the GO-Global software segment.

Go-Global software revenue by country for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was as follows.
