A computer implemented method for the automated analysis or use of data is implemented by a voice assistant. The method comprises the steps of: (a) storing in a memory a structured, machine-readable representation of data that conforms to a machine-readable language (‘machine representation’); the machine representation including representations of user speech or text input to a human/machine interface; and (b) automatically processing the machine representations to analyse the user speech or text input.

Rewards programs in which rewards are awarded for a series of transactions using a universal transaction associating identifier to associate transactions in common within each rewards program in a reward processing system. The system includes resource providers, a rewards program rule implementer having access to a rewards program database, and an implementer processor. The implementer processor receives transaction data whenever a transaction occurs using the universal transaction associating identifier, determines when a consumer has performed the transactions satisfying rules requirements, and identifies and awards a reward, including vouchers, for the consumer. The reward processing system generates a universal transaction associating identifier from a plurality of identification sources and provides for objects containing the universal transaction associating identifier. The reward processing system issues and redeems vouchers exchangeable for rewards. The system targets consumers and transmits messages adaptive to system elements, including rules requirements and the universal transaction associating identifier.

An information provision device includes processing circuitry for acquiring information relating to a customer, and for referring to at least the information relating to the customer in order to present the customer with information relating to characteristics given to a subject individual, which is one individual of a subject product to which characteristics are individually given so that individual differences exist between individuals of the same item.

A network includes a platform provider having a centralized operating environment including a combination of hardware, software, and a communication device configured to receive information from a plurality of enterprise networks each configured to independently communicate information to the platform provider. The information includes customer information, device information, requested enrollment or application information, requested transaction information, completed enrollment or application information, or completed transaction information, or a combination thereof. The platform provider is configured to validate and record the information in a secure ledger. The platform provider is further configured to, based on the information, identify incentives, advertisements, or other communications to provide a customer, deliver incentives, advertisements, or other communications to a customer, calculate a fee owed by one enterprise network to one of the platform provider, another enterprise network, or a customer, or assess a probability that a requested consumer, device, enrollment, application, or transaction is fraudulent.

Advertisement systems and methods for distributing advertisements are provided. An advertising system according to one embodiment includes an advertisement server configured to manage the ordering and printing of advertisements at predetermined locations and at predetermined times. The advertising system also includes a plurality of printing devices operating at the predetermined locations, each printing device configured to print an advertisement on an item associated with a purchase. A network is configured to enable communication between the advertisement server and the plurality of printing devices. The printing devices are configured to print the advertisements according to the plurality of predetermined times based on when at least one advertiser intends for the advertisements to be printed. Other implementations of advertisement systems include three-dimensional printing or etching of advertisements and displaying advertisements on electronic devices. Advertising may also be based on weather conditions, traffic conditions, or other conditions.

There is provided systems and method for determining a user's event experience through user actions. A user may attend an event at a venue and take various actions with respect to the event. For example, the user may dance and cheer at the event, which may be captured by a biometric reading device on a user device that the user has in their possession. Additionally, the user may share media and generate social networking interactions while at, or after the event. The user may also make purchases at the event or after the event, such as purchasing media content corresponding to the event. Based on the actions taken by the user, an enjoyment level may be determined, which may be used to further determine a quality or how overall enjoyable was the event. Thus, users may be provided with sales of products or future events matching their interests.

Systems and methods are presented for adding system-identified content to a user's content space based on information identified from the user's email account. In operation, after obtaining user authorization to access email items of an email account, the email items are iteratively processed. In processing each of the email items, one or more topics of a currently processed email item are identified. Based on the identified topics and user preferences, one or more content items may be identified for addition to the user's online content space. Additionally, the information identified from processing the one or more email items is used to update the user's preferences.

There is provided a computer system and method for orchestrating user interface, the method include: obtaining a first data set representative of intercepted data communication messages between a user interface of a user and a merchant hosting server; obtaining a second data set representing an instruction set for loading visual elements on the user interface provided from the merchant hosting server; analyzing the first data set to obtain one or more user-specific characteristics; determining if the user-specific characteristics associated with the user satisfy a trigger condition associated with a current resource offering; and responsive to a positive determination: injecting, into the instruction set for loading the visual elements on the user interface provided from the merchant hosting server, code corresponding to an interactive visual element corresponding to the current resource offering.

A device may broadcast content (e.g., using Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS), evolved MBMS (eMBMS), or Cell Broadcast Service (CBS)); determine that a user device has received the content; determine analytics information regarding the user device; identify, based on the analytics information, personalized content for the user device; and output, to the user device, the personalized content. The user device may receive the broadcasted content; present the broadcasted content; output an indication that the broadcasted content is being presented; receive the personalized content that was generated based on the outputted indication; and present the personalized content in conjunction with the broadcasted content. The user device may further receive content that has been personalized for other user devices, and a network layer of the user device may discard the content personalized for other user devices before an application layer of the user device receives the content personalized for the user device.

A computing system for encouraging the performance of a task comprises association data, a proxy module, a display module, and a reward module. The association data associates tags with stimuli related to performing tasks. The proxy module is configured to receive encoded data, to identify tags in the encoded data that have associated stimuli in the association data, and to generate modified encoded data that includes data representative of at least one of the stimuli. The display module is configured to receive the modified encoded data, to display information based at least in part on the modified encoded data, and to provide at least one mechanism for a user to perform a task related to at least one of the stimuli. The reward module is configured to reward a user for performing tasks related to the stimuli.
