A subscription-based system for providing commerce information for one or more mobile devices for one or more merchants. Some techniques employed feature a subscription-based method for presenting commercial resources to a mobile device. The method involves receiving mobile device user information relating to a geographic location to locate one or more merchants within a subscription-based shopping network, and receiving mobile device user information relating to a merchant type within the subscription-based shopping network. The method also involves receiving, from a database over a communication network, information for one or more merchants associated with the mobile device user information for the geographic location and the merchant type, and presenting the associated merchant information on the mobile device. The associated merchant information can include a merchant name and address, a merchant telephone number, a merchant advertisement, a merchant coupon, or a merchant product or service offering to subscribers of the shopping network.

A network system, such as a transport management system, efficiently allocates resources by monitoring the geospatial and topological locations of a rider responsive to receiving a trip request. A trip management module matches a rider with an available driver based in part on an comparison of the estimated times of arrival of the rider and the driver at the pickup location. A client positioning module monitors the rider's progress through nodes and edges in a topological graph associated with the origin location based on radio signatures received at the rider client device. A client ETA module calculates a rider ETA based on the rider's rate of travel through the origin location represented by nodes in the topological graph. Responsive to determining that the rider ETA and the driver ETA vary by over a threshold amount of time, the trip management module matches the rider with a second available driver.

Systems and methods for creating pattern awareness and proximal deduction of wireless devices is disclosed. The methods allow wireless awareness among a plurality of wireless signals and the ability of assigning meaning to a group of wireless signals associated with an observing WED, or wireless signal detector and take action based on the meaning.

The present disclosure provides methods and systems for facilitating commerce while a user is traveling along a travel route. A method for facilitating commerce while a user is traveling along a travel route may comprise: (a) at a server, receiving a starting geographic location and a destination geographic location of the user; (b) using the starting geographic location and the destination geographic location to generate the travel route for the user, which travel route is directed from the starting geographic location to the destination geographic location; (c) using the server to identify one or more transactional options for the user along the route; and (d) while the user is traveling in a terrestrial vehicle along at least a portion of the travel route, presenting the one or more transactional options to the user on an electronic device.

Methods and systems for managing transportation vessels in an enterprise system are disclosed. One method includes receiving inputs related to historical transportation vessel usage, the inputs including a transportation time, dwell time, and demand shipment. The method includes automatically determining a best fit distribution for each of the usage characters, and performing, for each of the plurality of pairs of locations, a plurality of simulations using a randomly-selected value for each of the usage characteristics. Each of the plurality of simulations includes an optimized output of a number of transportation vessels required to meet a demand for each pair of locations, such that the outputs of the plurality of simulations result in a range of numbers of transportation vessels required to meet a predetermined service level.

A method of providing a comparison-based ranked output includes extracting a plurality of pairwise comparisons between transaction objects, from a data set comprising transaction histories of one or more users' transactions with transaction objects over time. The method includes determining a plurality of user groups, wherein each user group of the plurality of user groups is associated with a common level feature among a set of transaction objects. For each transaction object, a present height associated with the transaction object based on the extracted plurality of pairwise comparisons is determined. Further, the method includes generating, based on a comparison of present heights of transaction objects associated with the common level feature, a data object comprising a ranking of transaction objects for a user group of the plurality of user groups, and providing the data object to an application to provide a user interface based on the ranking of transaction objects.

Methods and systems are provided for geocoding. An example method encompasses receiving, from a delivery data corpus, a delivery data comprising one or more addresses. The method thereafter comprises identifying, one or more tokens from said one or more addresses. Further the method leads to calculating, for each of said one or more tokens, an end token score and a sub-sequence token score. The method thereafter encompasses chunking, said one or more addresses based on said end token score and said sub-sequence token score to generate one or more address chunks. Further the method comprises generating, one or more polygon regions for each generated address chunks based on said chunking. Thereafter the method comprises merging, one or more generated polygon regions for each of the generated address chunks.

Methods and apparatus to generate consumer data are disclosed. An example method of selecting a sample of transaction data corresponding to a membership program includes defining a first type of member of the membership program; defining a second type of member of the membership program; calculating, via a processor, a target for the sample; selecting, via the processor, a first portion of the transaction data for the first type of member in accordance with the target; generating, via the processor, an updated target by recalculating the target with the first portion of the transaction data removed from consideration; and selecting, via the processor, a second portion of the transaction data for the second type of member in accordance with the updated target.

The disclosure includes embodiments for estimating pedestrian density data based on one or more Personal Safety Messages (PSM message). A method includes, according to some embodiments, receiving, by a first dedicated short range communication (DSRC) chip of a DSRC-enabled vehicle, a PSM message including an instance of pedestrian safety message data (PSM data) describing a geographic location of a pedestrian. The method includes executing an analysis of the instance of PSM data to determine that the pedestrian is present at a business based on the geographic location being within a known geographic area for the business. In some embodiments, this analysis is executed for a plurality of instances of PSM data. The method includes generating pedestrian density data for the business that describes how many pedestrians are present at the business based on executing the analysis for the plurality of instances of PSM data.
