A network of collection, charging and distribution machines collect, charge and distribute portable electrical energy storage devices. To charge, the machines employ electrical current from an external source. As demand at individual collection, charging and distribution machines increases or decreases relative to other collection, charging and distribution machines, a distribution management system initiates redistribution of portable electrical energy storage devices from one collection, charging and distribution machine to another collection, charging and distribution machine in an expeditious manner. Also, redeemable incentives are offered to users to return or exchange their portable electrical energy storage devices at selected collection, charging and distribution machines within the network to effect the redistribution.

Disclosed are various embodiments for editable search. A computing device generates a network page that includes a title that is interactive or modifiable. In response to a user-selected attribute being selected from the title, an item catalog is searched to identify available items with different attribute values for the user-selected attribute. A menu with one or more different attribute value is rendered in relation to the user-selected attribute from the title. A different attribute value is selected from the menu and the network page is updated to include the different attribute value in place of the user-selected attribute in the title.

Systems and methods for automatically generating remarketing lists based on client sessions are provided. The system can include a visitor management module to identify client sessions established at a website. The visitor management module can determine node pairs including destination nodes and referrer nodes. The system can include a graph construction module to construct a graph including the node pairs and edges between the node pairs representing click-through rates. The system can include a graph clustering module to assign information resources to a first group based on one of i) a number of edges between the nodes and a conversion node or ii) click-through rates of node pairs including. The system includes a remarketing list generation module to assign the first group of information resources to a remarketing list. The remarketing list generation module can assign client identifiers that accessed the first group of information resources to the remarketing list.

A method and system for conducting an online payment transaction through a point of sale device. The method includes receiving input from a user selecting an item for purchase through the point of sale device; calculating a total purchase amount for the item in response to a request from the user to purchase the item; and sending payment authorization for the total purchase amount from the point of sale device to a payment entity, in which the payment authorization is sent to the payment entity via a mobile communication device of the user. The method further includes receiving a result of the payment authorization from the payment entity through the mobile communication device; and completing the payment transaction based on the result of the payment authorization.

An electronic commerce (e-commerce) system may send advertisement emails to customers that are registered with the e-commerce system. The advertisement emails may include mailto hyperlinks. Each mailto hyperlink may be associated with a product that is being offered for sale, and each mailto hyperlink describes an email message that may be generated when that hyperlink is selected. When a mailto hyperlink is selected, the generated email message may include one or more parameters related to the product associated with the hyperlink, such as an identifier of the product. The generated email message may then be transmitted to the e-commerce system. The e-commerce system may receive the message and, based on the parameters in the received message, execute a transaction to purchase the identified product on behalf of the customer.

Automating a product offering presented in a consumer kiosk application for creating and order consumer photo-related products. An automated product offering system determines in real-time or near real-time the availability of products to be offered to the consumer and adjusts the display on the kiosk GUI to guide the user to select products that are currently available. The product availability may be specific to a location and a retailer hosting the consumer kiosk application. The kiosk GUI display is adjusted in accordance with product advertising and promotional campaigns to guide the user to generate orders for products that offer the best value to the consumer while helping retailers and kiosk operators succeed with advertising campaigns.

A data processing device system may be configured by a program at least to determine particular content associated with a first indication of observable presentation of the visual indicator received from a first device system; store in response to determining that the particular content is associated with the received first indication, a recorded-presentation indication indicating that the particular content or information associated therewith has been device-presented; determine that the particular content is associated with a second indication of a user interaction with the visual indicator received from a second device system; and store in response to determining that the particular content is associated with the received second indication, an indication that the particular content has been interacted with by a user.

In response to detecting that a first selectable element on a webpage or application page of a merchant has been accessed by a user, a computer system stores a visual representation of an item that corresponds to the first selectable element in a first space of the user. In response to detecting a selection of a second selectable element from within the first space, the computer system determines a threshold number of users to associate with the visual representation and creates a post in a network feed that includes the visual representation, wherein a third selectable element is associated with the post, that when selected, causes a user to join or vote for the first visual representation. In response to determining that a number of users that have selected the third selectable element meets the threshold number of users, the computer system initiates a group purchase for the item.
