A method of advertising where a user is compensated for viewing of an advertisement on a user device by application of an earned credit to a target data account of the user. In initiating an advertising session from a user device a user provides the identification details of a target data account, and receives a display of a selected advertisement of an advertiser to the user device. Following completion of the display of the advertisement at least one earned credit is applied to the target data account. An advertising session can be initiated by a user or by a network device. An advertising server operatively connected to a network for the facilitation of the method is also disclosed.

Providing dynamic real-time feedback to participant computing devices in a communication system to increase participant engagement with service performance. In an embodiment, a real-time engagement application executing on an engagement computing device transmits feedback and/or rewards data to a participant computing device via a communications network.

Systems and methods for the identification, tracking and rewarding of natural, organic and authentic social media digital branded content by influencers, and particularly of Nano-influencers. Monitoring and rewarding mechanisms and criteria are based on a selected subject-matter, so that the analysis permits quantification of influencers and takes into account the desire of promoters to have their areas of influence commented on social media.

A system for monitoring consumption of digital content by a user includes a display device, a memory circuit maintained on one or more non-transitory computer-readable media, and a processing circuit. The processing circuit identifies the progress of the user through the digital content presented on the display device. The digital content includes a collection of micro content blocks, the progress of the user being at least dependent on one or more of a plurality of predefined parameters. The processing circuit identifies a computer-executable progress score of the user based on the progress identified for the user and defines a computer-executable reward value for the user based on the progress score of the user upon successful achieving at least a defined level of the progress. The processing circuit allows the user to redeem the computer-executable reward value as an equivalent transactional amount upon submission of the progress.

A system and method are provided for implementing a uniquely automated reactive ecosystem to provide users/consumers a secure environment in which to engage streaming content in a reportable manner to an advertising component. Communications are established between a user electronic data exchange device and a centralized server that coordinates exchange of query information with a user regarding content of an associated linear television or live stream event. The disclosed systems and methods uniquely adapt data exchange to score a user's attention to data content, including advertising content, and to provide to the user an incentive scheme for attention to the content of portions of the linear television or live stream event.

A computer-implemented method and system for calculating a metric of a user's social or environmental performance among a plurality of users. The processor executing the computer executable instructions identifies opportunities for social action be included in a content feed addressable to the user and provides opportunities generated by organizations to the user. The processor monitors interactions between the user and other users/organizations, monitors a type of interaction and associated social/environmental impact of the interactions, stores the interactions in a user profile, and determines from the user profile a social/environmental achievement or new contribution by the user. For each social/environmental achievement/contribution, the processor assigns a numerical value to an amount, a frequency, a location of the user, and a quality of the user profile data representative of the user's influence in each social/environmental achievement or contribution.

Systems and methods are described herein that provide user(s) with a customized landing page that is based on a location (e.g., a business or organization) at which the user is located. The customized landing page may be configured to enable a consumer to access the Internet via an Internet hotspot provided by the business or organization. The customized landing page may require the consumer(s) to perform certain actions before enabling a consumer to access the Internet. Such actions include, but are not limited to, viewing advertisements, providing demographic information and/or contact information, and/or interacting with one or more services. Upon connecting to the Internet, various performance indicators associated with the consumer(s) may be determined. An administrator of a hotspot provider may be enabled to view the performance indicator(s) and market themselves accordingly.

A numbering system is provided having an identifier with hexadecimal, vigesimal, quadrivigesimal, or any other suitable alphanumeric characters includable on a card and an account identifiable using the identifier. The card can be a gift card, a customer loyalty card, or a customer incentive card. An interface may be connected to a communications network that is accessible to associate the identifier with an account and manage funds associable with the account. Funds data may be associable with the account and storable on the remote server, the funds data relating to the funds transferred by a user to a card issuer. The identifier may be storable on the card in an electronically readable format, and may be included on the card via printing and/or imprinting. A method is provided for using the numbering system.

A system and method of using printed mail to retrieve consumer interest data includes printing a scannable code on a printed mail piece, sending the printed mail piece out for postal delivery to a consumer and receiving a request from a mobile device to access a server-based resource based on the consumer scanning the scannable code on the printed mail piece. The system and method includes providing access to the server-based resource, the server-based resource serving questions regarding consumer interests to the mobile device, and retrieving consumer interest data based on the responses of the consumer to the questions.
