The system provides offerings or information based on a combination of various factors, including the location of the connected driver or vehicle, the location of various locations of interest, driver profiles with the connected driver system or business partners or participants, driver preference information, information about the particular trip, and predictions of consumer drive-time ecommerce trends and preferences.

In some examples, augmented reality and mobile technology based services procurement and distribution may include ascertaining an attribute and a location associated with a user. Augmented reality and mobile technology based services procurement and distribution may include generating, based on the ascertained attribute and location, a plurality of offers for services on a map display or an augmented reality display, and generating, based on selection of an offer, a display of the selected offer that includes a QR code, a barcode, and/or a Near Field Communication code. Augmented reality and mobile technology based services procurement and distribution may include analyzing, based on redeeming of the selected offer, the attribute associated with user relative to attributes of other users, and modifying the generation, based on the analysis of the attribute associated with user relative to attributes of other users and the location, of the plurality of offers for the services.

Embodiments of a computer-implemented method and system pertaining to drive through grocery pickup are described. In one example, a computer-implemented method receives geographic information about a user. The geographic information indicates that the user is within a predetermined area associated with the physical store. The method also determines whether there is a pending remotely placed order for a user account associated with the user in a database associated with the physical store. In response to a determination that there is the pending remotely placed order for the user account associated with the user in the database, the method transmits order information to a computing device of the physical store. The order information includes one or more items in the pending remotely placed order. The method also determines a current location of the user. The method further causes a delivery of the one or more items to the current location.

A network of collection, charging and distribution machines collect, charge and distribute portable electrical energy storage devices (e.g., batteries, supercapacitors or ultracapacitors). Locations of collection, charging and distribution machines having available charged portable electrical energy storage devices are communicated to or acquired by a mobile device of a user or a navigation system of a user's vehicle. The locations are indicated on a graphical user interface on a map relative to the user's current location. The user may select particular locations on the map to reserve an available portable electrical energy storage device at a particular collection, charging and distribution machine location. The collection, charging and distribution machine locations displayed may also be based on a physical distance or driving time from the current location of the user mobile device or vehicle.

A system and computer-implemented method for operating a fantasy league including: fantasy player information including performance history of one or more real-world athletes selected as fantasy players is stored. Sponsorship information associated with the fantasy player is stored on at least one of an individual or team basis. An operational request from a fantasy client device is received. An association between the operational request and the fantasy player is determined. An operational result is determined. At least one item of sponsorship information is associated with the operational result. The operational result and the sponsorship information are transmitted. An alert window is displayed at the fantasy client device including the sponsorship information.

Disclosed herein are a method for selling a no-show item at a special price and an apparatus therefor. A no-show item may be sold through processes of acquiring information about the item from a store at which the no-show has occurred, among multiple stores registered in an application, creating promotion information for selling the item at a special price using the information about the item, extracting a promotion target group to which the promotion information is provided in consideration of at least one of the location of the store at which the no-show has occurred, the information about the item, and user information, and providing the promotion information to the promotion target group based on the application. Accordingly, the loss suffered by stores at which no-shows occur may be reduced.

The present disclosure relates to a mobile media delivery system. In certain embodiments, mobile media delivery system has a mobile media delivery controller and a mobile media delivery device. Mobile media delivery device delivers a set of digital media according to a set of corresponding delivery instructions. Mobile media delivery controller includes a processor and a memory. Memory includes a media storage and a firmware. Firmware stores computer executable instructions. When executed by processor, computer executable instructions cause processor to: send GPS location information of mobile media delivery controller to a mobile media delivery server, receive set of digital media and set of corresponding delivery instructions from mobile media delivery server based on GPS location information, store set of digital media and set of corresponding delivery instructions received in a media storage, and deliver set of digital media to mobile media delivery device according to set of corresponding delivery instructions.

Systems, device and techniques are disclosed for dynamically retrieving and monitoring geo-fence activity. A meta geo-fence may be identified based on a user device geolocation. The meta geo-fence having a radius that is dynamically generated to include previously defined geo-fences within or touching the meta geo-fence. User device geolocation may be monitored in relation to the defined geo-fences included in the radius of the meta geo-fence. A communication may be sent to the user device when the user device reports that the user device has entered or exited one of the previously defined geo-fences within or touching the radius of the meta geo-fence.
