A wireless device is enabled to provide offers. The wireless device receives card data for a financial account card and stores the card data in a memory associated with the wireless device. Responsive to using the card data in a transaction at a first merchant location, the wireless device receives transaction line-item data from a computing system associated with the first merchant location. The wireless device determines merchant information for a second merchant location and determines an offer associated with the second merchant location based on the line-item data and the merchant information for the second merchant. The wireless device presents the offer when the wireless device is near the second merchant location.

An object is recognized from plurality of objects in a database based on a digital representation of a scene containing the object. An information address corresponding to the object is then used to present an item to a user, who may obtain the item via a transaction.

A dynamic banner may be displayed in a merchant check out page sourced from a merchant server that may be customized to a particular user and/or merchant. The dynamic banner may be provided by a transaction account provider server and may invite the user to select an offer. In response to the user's interaction with the offer, the characteristics of the merchant check out page may be changed, for example, a product may be discounted, and/or a new transaction account may be issued to the user by the transaction account provider server and used to complete the checkout process via cross document messaging and cross domain scripting. In this manner, the merchant server and the transaction account provider server may interact with a user within a single web page.

A method for dynamic and layered promotion involves utilizing a layered promotion model system having a seller device, a buyer device, a peer device, and a system server. The seller device provides a zero party dataset representing values of the seller and a nomination dataset representing a proposed nuclear network. The system server receives these datasets and creates a zero layer dataset and a first layer dataset therefrom. The at least one system server then analyzes these datasets to derive search criteria and value lists. Based on these criteria, the at least one system server selects accepted peers from the first layer dataset. An authorized programmatic product is created using the selected peers, and which represents a packaged audience reach. The seller can customize the terms of communication in the authorized programmatic product. The buyer can place an order for the authorized programmatic product, limited by the specified communication terms.

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 method including acquiring user behavior data generated in a first service module of a commodity information service system, wherein the user behavior data includes behavior data generated in a process of a user interacting with the first service module by browsing commodity information published therein; determining, by analyzing the user behavior data, a target user having a commodity purchase intention and having difficulty in finding or deciding on commodities in the first service module; and after the target user is determined, re-engaging the target user with a second service module of the commodity information service system so that the target user may initiate a purchase form in the second service module and interact therewith. Through the embodiments of the present disclosure, the user re-engagement efficiency is improved, and resource waste is reduced.

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.

A content providing apparatus previously receives customer identification information and content identification information as customer reservation information via a terminal device, and sends customer desired content data corresponding to the content identification information to a content obtaining apparatus, so as to provide a customer with the customer desired content data via the content obtaining apparatus more easily, thus making it possible to significantly improve the usability of a content obtaining/providing system. In addition, a content providing server sends three-dimensional images to a portable dedicated terminal in response to a preview request sent from the portable dedicated terminal to display it, and then sends commercial data corresponding to a preview request sent according to the display state of the three-dimensional images to reproduce it, so as to make the customer view and preview the content to allow the customer to accurately judge whether the content meets his/her taste, thus making it possible to select content data lightheartedly.

A system and method for assessing personal preferences and interests of end-users by engaging one or more end-users in a game in which the end-user may be given a chance to win a product item from a collection of product items selected by the end-user.

A mechanism is provided for personalizing a user's E-commerce environment. Identified lifecycle state transactions associated with the user are modeled by performing a lifecycle state transition probability calculation utilizing collected social media data and transaction data. Utilizing the model of the identified lifecycle state transactions, a two-level Hidden Markov Model (HMM) lifecycle model is generated for current lifecycle states being experienced by the user. Utilizing the two-level HMM lifecycle model for current lifecycle states being experienced by the user, one or more future behavioral predictions are generated with regard to the user's lifecycle. One or more E-commerce recommendations are then issued to the user based on the one or more future behavioral predictions.
