In one embodiment, a system, is provided to take not just a person's time and location into consideration, but also has knowledge of and takes into account their availability, their preferences, their schedule, their purpose for being at their current location, and/or their next goal or stop. One embodiment is able to take into account a real-time view of supplier inventory and deduce and make available much better-adapted offerings and support for that person's travels and endeavors. In one embodiment, having an understanding of a rate of conversion and its relation to traffic and weather patterns allows service providers to make more accurate predictions about various items, including but not limited to, conversion rates, offer types, offer upgrades, traffic etc. In yet another aspect of the invention, the information collected from many travelers, and also information collected from airlines and weather observers, etc., can be used to forecast inventory requirements, such as obtaining and preparing fresh food and pulling from storage chilled or frozen food, as well as man power or staffing level requirements, to meet projected demands.

A selection of a fueling station item, graphically depicted on a display of a fuel dispenser and corresponding to an available fueling station product, can be received by at least one data processor of a fuel dispenser. A two dimensional barcode based on the selected fueling station item can be determined. The two dimensional barcode can be provided to the fuel dispenser display for graphical depiction on the fuel dispenser display.

The present invention provides a carbon value assessment (“carbon valuation”) system, which includes an information processing device that evaluates an amount of greenhouse gas (“GHG”) reduction expected to occur by a technology project in a currency value, on the basis of: estimated reduction of greenhouse gas (“estimated GHG reduction amount”) which is an amount of GHG reduction presumed to be induced by the technology project that is a target to be assessed; a calculation period of the GHG reduction during which the GHG reduction occurs due to the technology project; a discount rate that quantifies possible risks occurring in the technology project; and an emission permit price.

A method for preventing fraud in incentive transactions is provided that includes receiving metadata from a brand manufacturer for an incentive associated with a selected product, the metadata including a product identifier and a redemption rule. The method includes requesting a host to create a record in a distributed ledger for the incentive using the metadata, providing the incentive to a consumer via a mobile device, assigning a public address to the incentive, receiving from the host a first private key associated with the public address in the record, providing the first private key to the consumer, and receiving a second private key indicative of a redemption of the incentive at a retailer. The method includes validating redemption of the incentive and recording the redemption of the incentive at a retailer in the distributed ledger record when the redemption of the incentive is validated. A system to perform the above method is also provided.

An embodiment of the present invention is an information processing system including: a user terminal carried by a user; and an information processing device being able to communicate with the user terminal. The information processing device has: a storage storing product information of a product to be reduced in price in a store, condition information showing a condition of the product, and offered price information of the product, in association with one another; and a payment processor configured to perform a payment process of the product based on a payment request of the product corresponding to the product information acquired from the user terminal. The user terminal has a display controller that acquires the condition information and the offered price information corresponding to the product information of the product selected by the user, from the information processing device, and to cause a display to show the acquired information.

The amount of user activity performed in relation to a promotion may be tracked based on user content captured via the client application. At least a portion of user content captured via the client application may be scanned and analyzed to identify user activity related to the user content. Augmented reality content items may be executable to generate content that is displayed in relation to the user content and that indicates an amount of user activity related to the promotion. In addition, the augmented reality content items may be executable to generate content in relation to the user content that indicates one or more redemption options for the promotion based on an amount of user activity performed by a user of the client application that captured the user content.
