Systems and methods are presented for generating a transition graph from check-in data for determining probabilistic transitions of a user from an origin (location) to a destination. Check-in data for a plurality of users is obtained. The check-in data is organized and analyzed to determine a set of transition tuples for each of the plurality of users. These transition tuples are aggregated and used to generate a transition graph comprising a plurality of nodes and edges. Each node corresponds to a location and each edge indicates a transition from an origin node to a destination node and is associated with a likelihood of a user transitioning from the origin node to the destination node.

An order processing method comprising: obtaining first order information and order sharing condition information, and generating an order sharing invitation message according to the first order information and the order sharing condition information; receiving an answer message returned by a target terminal according to the order sharing invitation message, and obtaining, according to the answer message, second order information and an acknowledged data transfer state indicated by the second order information; performing combination processing on the first order information and the second order information according to the acknowledged data transfer state returned by the target terminal, and generating settlement order information; and performing settlement on the settlement order information according to the order sharing condition information when the settlement order information meets an order sharing condition indicated by the order sharing condition information.

Methods and apparatus to estimate market opportunities for an object class are disclosed. An example method includes obtaining first measurements of a set of characteristics for a first area, the set of characteristics being associated with an item class; determining a first relationship between a first probability of a population in the first area to purchase the item class and the first measurements of the set of characteristics; obtaining second measurements of the set of characteristics for a second area; and estimating a second probability of a population of the second area purchasing the item class based on applying the first relationship to the second measurements.

Systems and methods for on demand local commerce are described. One example embodiment includes a device gathering location information and product interest associated with clients and client devices. The system may use location information in determining that the first plurality of client devices are within a first geographic area during a first time period, and may further use the interest information in calculating an interest level for a first product. A threshold may be identified and used in determining that the interest level for the first product exceeds the threshold. When the calculated interest level exceeds the threshold, a local commerce action is initiated. In various embodiments, the local commerce action may be a live on demand auction at a particular location, an offer associated with a geofenced area, a sales location recommendation to a merchant, or any other such local commerce action.

Provided is a process including: obtaining network traffic logs; matching a set of a plurality of the user computing devices; obtaining an indicator of content to be measured for effectiveness in driving place visits; selecting from the network traffic logs records of network exchanges in which the indicator is present; obtaining a device identifier from each of the selected records; matching the obtained device identifiers to respective matching sets including the respective obtained identifier; obtaining respective mobile device identifiers from the respective matching sets; selecting from the network traffic logs records indicating communications from mobile computing devices identified by the obtained mobile device identifiers; obtaining geolocations from the records indicating communications from the mobile computing devices identified; determining that a subset of the records have geolocations that correspond to at least one of a set of geographic areas; and determining an effectiveness of the content in driving visits.

A method for controlling access to data displayed by an information services portal on a user device is provided. The method includes receiving a candidate login input corresponding to a user. The method further includes comparing the candidate login input to a list of login entries stored in the memory, each of the stored login entries having a corresponding code segment, each code segment defining a bounding area defining a geographic area. The method further includes retrieving from the memory a selected code segment corresponding to the stored login entry matching the candidate login input, and applying a geographic restriction to the data set by processing the selected code segment. The method further includes transmitting a data subset of the data set to the user computing device for display, the data subset including data satisfying the geographic restriction.

A geo-analytical program is integrated into a customer relationship management (CRM) solution. Via the geo-analytical program, users are able to define layer configuration settings for a layer for plotting on a map-based GUI. Layer configuration settings for a respective layer comprise an indication of a data object type serving as a base object type for the respective layer. A method involves receiving from a user user-defined configuration settings for a first layer, electronically receiving, at a geospatial computer system, geospatial data for a plurality of connected devices; electronically receiving, at the geo-analytical program from the geospatial computer system, real-time geospatial data for the plurality of connected devices; and utilizing, by the geo-analytical program, the user-defined layer configuration settings for the first layer to plot the first layer on the map-based GUI based on the received real-time geospatial data for the plurality of connected devices.

A welfare-type under-mall system includes a web server configured to receive supply product information of a supplier and customer group information of a customer group, a DB server configured to store the supply product information and the customer group information, and a template creation server for creating a welfare provision template, whereby a fact that a company provides a supply product at a discounted price may not be informed to the general public, thus protecting a brand value of the company, and members of the customer group may be provided with a supply product at a discounted price unlike other general customers.

A method and a corresponding system are disclosed for recording multimodal user interaction with an item in a networked system. The networked system includes a server device network- connected to one or more client user device(s). A data record is generated for the item, comprising data representative thereof and including at least image data depicting the item. A unique identifier code is associated with the data record, wherein the association of the unique identifier code with the image data in the record defines an avatar of the item in the system. Copies of the avatar are distributed to client user devices in the network, and the unique identifier code is encoded into a machine-readable tag secured to each physical embodiment of the item outside the network. At each client user device, each digital user interaction with an avatar and each analogue user interaction with a physical item is logged. At the server, each logged user interaction is matched against the item data record and recorded.

A computer system is provided that includes a server configured to store a plurality of location accounts, each location account being associated with a physical space at a recorded geospatial location. The plurality of location accounts utilize shared data definitions of a physical space parameter. Each physical space is equipped with a corresponding on-premise sensor configured to detect measured values for the physical space parameter over time and send to the server a data stream indicating the measured values. The computer system further includes a network portal, via which an authorized user for a location account can selectively choose whether to share the measured values or a summary thereof with other location accounts via the network portal.
