This disclosure involves a using an adaptive component for customizing content delivered to customer devices. For instance, an adaptive component is configured to selectively receive information from a back-end service and present the information based on contexts of shopping experiences on particular devices. A context includes at least one of a device being a particular location or indicating a particular stage of interest in a product or service. The adaptive component includes configured parameters specifying different sets of sales information for different contexts. Different sets of context-specific sales are provided, based on different contexts, for presentation on one or more user devices via the adaptive component.

A system includes one or more point of sale systems and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to receive purchase data for a plurality of purchases made by a purchaser via the one or more point of sale systems over a time period, wherein the purchase data includes an identifier of the purchaser, a timestamp, and a type of good. The processing circuitry is configured to determine a frequency with which the purchaser purchased a type of good over the time period based on the purchase data, determine a target time at which the purchaser should next purchase the type of good based on the purchase data and the frequency, and instruct output of a notification in response to receipt of an indication that the purchaser is attempting to purchase the type of good using the one or more point of sale systems prior to the target time.

A control apparatus includes a control section that acquires itinerary information indicating a route on which a vehicle travels, the route including a departure point, a destination, and a waypoint that enables charging of the vehicle, and a first departure time for the vehicle to depart from the departure point, and that based on the itinerary information, sets a second departure time resulting from the first departure time being modified such that a time of arrival of the vehicle at the waypoint becomes a predetermined time.

The present disclosure provides techniques for curating search results. A first request to look up an identifier for an item is received from a first user, and first tracking information corresponding to movements of the first user in a physical space is retrieved.

Systems and methods provide for integrating a wallet client with federated directory services are disclosed herein. By integrating merchant services, such as directory services with a wallet service provider, wallet clients on mobile devices can have access to all merchant listings without having to manually add each directory service. The system disclosed herein integrates Chamber of Commerce directory service listings with the wallet client, such that when a request for a merchant directory service is received from a device associated with the wallet client, the request is forwarded to a federated directory service wallet system interface operated by a Chamber of Commerce site. Supply chain data that matches the request, and location information that is included in the request, is then fetched from the federated directory service wallet system interface and forwarded to the device that sent the request.

A system includes a server and merchant device. The server receives product information for a product scanned by a mobile device. The server stores the product information for the product in a digital cart. The server receives a transaction request from the mobile device, determines that the product is associated with a validation requirement, and transmits a validation request to the merchant device. The server receives, from the merchant device, an indication that the validation requirement is satisfied, processes a transaction, and transmits, to the merchant device, an indication that the transaction is complete. The merchant device receives the validation request, determines that the validation requirement is satisfied, and transmits the indication that the validation requirement is satisfied to the server. The merchant device receives, from the server, the indication that the transaction is complete and displays the indication that the transaction on the display.

Aspects described herein use real time transaction data to notify customers when they have forgotten to purchase an item at a merchant location. A first computing device may receive one or more items that are added to an electronic list of items to purchase, whether at merchant location or multiple locations. A second computing device operated by a financial institution entity may receive transaction data representative of a purchase of at least one item at a merchant location. The transaction data may comprise item level data representative of a specific item to purchase. Based on the transaction data, the second computing device may determine whether the specific item on the electronic list was purchased at the merchant location. When determining that the item was not purchased at the merchant location, the second computing device may determine whether the merchant location sells the specific item and when determining that the merchant location sells the item, a notification may be sent to a user that the specific item was not purchased.

The disclosure relates to technology for determining locations of approaching recipients of online pre-requested or pre-ordered goods/services. Physical waiting queues and/or wait-lists are managed so that the goods/services will be provided without excessive wait times or unacceptably long wait lines or inferior quality in the provided goods/services. Resolution of location determination becomes finer and finer in one embodiment as the recipients get closer to the provisioning spot. If there is a change of plans, the recipients are notified ahead of time so as to avoid last minute surprises or disappointments.

A system and method for modeling preferences of customers to drive personalized contextual recommendations using cognitive deep constrained filtering includes receiving a user query on an online retail platform, in response to receiving the user query, performing a first online matrix manipulation and a second online matrix manipulation, and sending a list of ranked recommended products.
