Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method that include combining an offer with media content to generate a notice within a portion of the media content, providing the notice in the designated portions of the media content with the notice during a media content presentation at equipment of a user, receiving an indication of interest in the portion, retrieving marketing information for the portion of the media content based on the user profile including location based information, time based information, and activity information, monitoring an activity of the mobile communication device to determine when the mobile communication device information satisfies a location, time, and activity information that matches the marketing information and determining a communication for the user based on the marketing information and the monitoring of the activity of the mobile communication device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Methods and systems for matching a consumer to benefits offered by enabling organizations provide flexibility and utility to consumers in the marketplace for various products. Information about benefits and enabling organizations are provided and stored in a memory of a computer system. A search query including consumer interest data of a consumer, or results of such a search query, are received. The enabling organization information, benefit information, and search query or information related to the search query results are analyzed automatically in the computer system to provide analysis results, to determine whether any enabling organization to which the consumer is affiliated is offering a benefit for the consumer that is applicable to the said consumer interest data. A message is sent to the consumer including a list of venues ordered according to a search score.

Obtaining, by a central system, a plurality of first data messages over a network from a plurality of first remote systems; generating first information based on the first data messages; receiving a second data message including second information from a second remote system; comparing the second information with at least a portion of the first information; determining whether a patient associated with the second information is eligible for a promotion based on the comparing; if eligible, generating a third data message authorizing the second remote system to provide a discount based on the first information; and providing the third data message to the second remote system; if ineligible, generating a fourth data message, the fourth data message indicating the patient is not eligible to receive a discount; and providing the fourth data message to the second remote system.

A system and a method are disclosed that enable a mobile device to use an encoded tag to initiate and maintain communications with at least one remote server. The encoded tag is positioned to identify a point of interest, and in response to using the mobile device to scan the encoded tag, communications regarding the point of interest may be initiated. A single encoded tag may be used to obtain and update recorded information about the point of interest, to notify others about an issue related to the point of interest, to log into the system, and to wait to be alerted about an issue related to the point of interest. If an issue relating to a point of interest has been reported, the system and method may monitor the reported issue to ensure that an action has been taken to address the reported issue.

In some embodiments, a method includes in response to an integration tag included in a webpage at a first user interface being executed at a mobile device, receiving a mobile device identifier and a request to retrieve a purchase identifier. The method includes sending a first signal causing a frame to be provided within the webpage at the first user interface. The method includes in response to a first user input, receiving a Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) POST request and determining a uniform resource identifier (URI). The method includes retrieving purchase information and sending a HTTP response message including the URI of the second user interface and the purchase information to deeplink to the second user interface and to cause the second user interface to be rendered at the mobile device with the purchase information pre-populated in an input field of a text message.

Electronic advertisements and other types of electronic information are distributed based on user profiles and in particular, collections of widgets. User profiles may be generated based on a combination of user entered information and information inferred or derived from user behavior and interaction patterns. The use and collection of various widgets may also be recorded by a user profile to determine a user's preferences and interests. An advertisement may be distributed by segmenting a user population according to user profile information and one or more attributes of the advertisement. Users may further interact with the widgets in a variety of ways including requesting additional information about the advertised product or service and/or requesting communications with an advertiser without compromising their privacy.

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and a method for searching for or advertising a service and a device for the same. A method for searching for a service, according to one embodiment of the present invention, can comprise: transmitting a probe request frame to search for a device supporting a predetermined service desired by a first wireless device; receiving a probe response frame from a second wireless device supporting the predetermined service; transmitting, by the first wireless device, a service search request frame including a service name of the predetermined service to the second wireless device; and receiving a service search response frame from the second wireless device, wherein the service search response frame can include service status information indicating whether the predetermined service is available on the second wireless device.

A system for generating improved notifications relating to events is disclosed. The system includes a sensing network including an event sensor configured to sense events. The system further includes a sensed-event processing system configured to append meta data to information associated with a sensed event. The system further includes a human-machine interface and at least one communication unit configured to communicate amongst the human-machine interface, the sensing network, and the sensed event processing system, the information communicated from the sensing device via the at least one communication unit. The system further includes a notification generation system configured to generate a notification to a user of the human-machine interface, the notification content including at least one user-selectable action option. The communication unit configured to communicate the notification via the human-machine interface and select the notification content, the notification type, or the means of notification based on the meta data.
