An event servicing (ES) computing device for targeting ancillary merchants based on wallet events is provided. The ES computing device receives primary purchase data for a primary purchase made by a user with a primary merchant, and determines and displays to the user one or more secondary merchants based at least in part on the primary purchase data. The ES computing device further receives secondary purchase data for at least one secondary purchase made by the user from the one or more secondary merchants and determines whether the user has requested to cancel the primary purchase. When the user has requested to cancel the primary purchase, the ES computing device automatically cancels the at least one secondary purchase. When the user has not requested to cancel the primary purchase, the ES computing device processes payment transactions for the primary purchase and the at least one secondary purchase.

A shared service supports interfaces for interacting with at least two different business systems and providing customer-relationship management processing that is shared between the two different business systems. The shared service also provides interfaces for interacting with customer operated devices for delivering recommendations and promotions to specific customers based on anticipated patterns of the specific customers identified in a shared history between the two business systems.

A client (e.g., an eReader) receives and displays a sample version of content to a user retrieved from a store server. The sample version is a subset of the full version of the content. The client determines a location in the sample content in which to insert a buy page that allows the user to purchase the full version. The buy page may be inserted at a location that minimizes the time the user spends waiting for the full version to be installed on the client. The client uses one or more locating factors to determine the location. The user may interact with the buy page inserted at the determined location to purchase the full version of the content. The client interacts with the store server to conduct the purchase transaction, and seamlessly transitions the user from the sample to the full version of the content.

A system and method are disclosed by which a first computer system that is associated with a first organization provides a software component to a second computer system that is associated with a second organization, where the software component, when embedded and executed within a user interface provided by the second organization, includes in the user interface a first link to a first media content item and a second link to a second media content item. In one implementation, the first media content item and the second media content item reside in a data store associated with the first organization, and the first media content item and the second media content item are selected from a plurality of media content items based on content in the user interface.

The disclosed computer-implemented method for detecting advertisements displayed to users via user interfaces may include (1) monitoring, via an accessibility API provided by an operating system of the computing device, accessibility events that indicate state transitions in user interfaces of applications running on the computing device, (2) determining, based on an analysis of at least one accessibility event, that an advertisement is being displayed to a user within a user interface of an application running on the computing device, and (3) in response to determining that the advertisement is being displayed, performing at least one action to prevent the advertisement from interfering with interactions between the user and the application. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

A computer-implemented method for ingesting and presenting a video with associated linked products and metadata as a unified actionable shopping experience may include accessing a video file, receiving information about an object, the information including a link to a merchant portal or web page through which the object may be purchased, combining the video file and information about the object into a social media post, and delivering the social media post to consumers.

A method for finding and displaying products on a display device of an electronic data processing device is provided. The method includes recognizing an image or image section with at least one imaged object displayed on the display device when the cursor of the data processing device moves into an area of the image or image section. The recognized image or image section is designated with a trigger when the cursor of the data processing device moves into the area of the image or image section and the trigger is superimposed on the area of the recognized image or image section on the display device. The displayed image is segmented and at least one object is detected by an analysis of visual content of the designated image or image section by actuating the superimposed trigger. The at least one detected object may be displayed on the display device.

A system for facilitating sale of venue event tickets involves: a venue interface; a venue offering database containing records of: currently available tickets, past event ticket acceptances, and acceptance history data; a subscriber database containing, for individual subscribers, at least an identification, interests, and contact information; a pricing module which will identify at least one subscriber to whom ticket(s) should be offered, on an urgent basis, at a reduced price determined using an algorithm taking into account at least: subscriber location, time until start for the event, estimated travel time between subscriber location and venue, and content of the acceptance history data; a communications module which will proactively communicate urgent offers to specific subscribers identified by the pricing module; and an evaluation and learning module which employs unsupervised machine learning to analyze acceptance history data and modify the algorithm used by the pricing module.

Systems and methods for presenting a personalized value added offer during an advanced verification process are provided. An access control server may receive an enrollment verification request comprising data relating to an account holder. The server may determine an enrollment status of the account holder and determine a value added offer based on the account holder. The server may display an advanced verification interface for user input. The advanced verification interface may include the value added offer and/or a security credential prompt. The server may personalize the advanced verification interface and/or the value added offer based on monitoring the system and compiling historical transaction data.

A display characteristic determination machine receives a request to display seller-related content that references an item available for sale. The display characteristic determination machine identifies a display characteristic available from a web server, determines that the seller-related content is to be displayed using the display characteristic, and communicates to the web server that the seller-related content is to be displayed using the display characteristic and with primary content. The display characteristic determination machine may function as an allocation device to allocate use of the display characteristic. This functionality may be scaled, for example, to include determining use of multiple display characteristics, available from multiple web servers, by multiple instances of seller-related content requested for display by multiple sellers of multiple items. The display characteristic determination machine, therefore, may function as a “broker” for display characteristics available from multiple web servers.
