Provided is a payment method using a one-time payment security code based on a color pixel code. In the payment method, arbitrary color pixel codes are first disposed on a color grid image screen that is formed with color pixels of various colors in a smartphone-dedicated application, a user inputs a user pattern to select color pixels, a one-time payment security code is generated by combining the color pixel codes and the user pattern, and the one-time payment security code is utilized as information for paying for the user's purchase of a product or a service.

A method and system for receiving digital artifacts from a management server. The method includes sending a request for a digital artifact from a mobile application to the management server for display within a specific mobile application generated screen, receiving the digital artifact from the management server, and displaying the digital artifact with the specific mobile application generated screen.

One embodiment of the invention is directed to a system comprising a server and a consumer device in operative communication with the server. The server comprises a processor and a computer readable medium coupled to the processor. The computer readable medium comprises computer readable program code embodied therein. The computer readable program code is adapted to be executed by the processor to receive an authorization request message for a transaction conducted by a consumer with a merchant, send the authorization request message to an issuer, modify an authorization response message to include receipt preference data, and send the authorization response message comprising the receipt data to the merchant, wherein the merchant generates a receipt for the consumer according to the receipt preference data.

A mobile device and a server exchange information in response to the mobile device detecting a proximity beacon. Upon detecting the proximity beacon, the mobile device initiates a web service call to the server. A mobile device user will indicate a choice whether to opt-in upon registration. If the user has opted in, the server will retrieve additional information about the user including prescription information. The server will transmit prescription information and other marketing information to the mobile device. The server may be configured to receive additional information from the mobile device, for example, a request for a prescription to be refilled.

Systems and methods are described which provide targeted advertisements to a charging station for electric vehicles. A data collector records data associated with individuals near a charging station. A meter determines whether the charging station is being used to charge an electric vehicle. When the charging station is being used, a display displays advertisements targeted to the individuals. The targeted advertisements are selected from a database according to the data recorded by the data collector, and the database stores advertising content with discrete advertising segments that are electronically accessible. A processor is coupled to the data collector, the meter, and the display. The processor transmits the data recorded by the data collector, and receives the targeted advertisements.

Mobile devices, methods, and computer-program products are provided for prioritizing data sets. A transmission is received from a proximity broadcasting device. The transmission is a data packet that includes a unique identifier corresponding to the proximity broadcasting device. A proximity broadcasting system corresponding to the proximity broadcasting device is identified based on the unique identifier. At least one transaction data set corresponding to the proximity broadcasting system is selected from among a plurality of transaction data sets. The at least one transaction data set is prioritized above the remaining transaction data sets in a hierarchical order.

The present technology relates to an information collection system, an electronic shelf label, an electronic POP advertising, and a character information display device that allow information with higher accuracy to be collected. An information collection device that collects information associated with a customer or a product is included for each product type. Alternatively, an information processing device that supplies information associated with a product and an information display terminal that displays information associated with a product supplied from the information processing device are included. The present disclosure can be applied, for example, to an electronic shelf label, an image pickup device, a communication device, an information processing device, electronic equipment, a computer, a program, a storage medium, a system, and the like.

The invention provides a system, comprising a camera, configured to detect a user in the field of view of the camera and to track the detected user, a display, an interaction module, configured to interact with the user, and a processor, wherein, in operation, the processor is configured to detect a user in the field of view of the camera, cause the display to display a first image, said image including at least one tracking portion, move the at least one tracking portion based on the movement of the user detected by the camera, upon interaction of the user with the interaction module, display a second image. A method for interacting with a user and a computer program product implementing said method on a programmable device is also disclosed, wherein the interaction module comprises a payment module, and the interaction of the user comprises a payment through the payment module.

Example methods, apparatuses, and systems are presented that allows a user to make a secure purchase online, directly through accessing an online advertisement and without being redirected to multiple, cumbersome webpages to process different pieces of information to complete the transaction, while still leveraging existing e-commerce entities, such as existing payment platforms and existing ad/content networks. The present system includes a commerce ads engine (CA engine) that interfaces with the user through an app associated with the CA engine, a tokenization platform for authentication of the user, and a merchant providing relevant offer and check out information about a product being advertised in an online ad. The present system integrates new information embedded into online advertisements that interfaces with the CA engine and allows for the user to reliably provide authentication while purchasing the desired product, and without accessing or being redirected to multiple websites as is conventionally done.

Systems and methods for using wireless beacons in point of purchase (“POP”) displays to facilitate the delivery of consumer oriented content to mobile devices is disclosed herein. Wireless beacons may be used to broadcast wireless signals from POP displays, where the wireless signals include data packets with unique identifiers for the wireless beacons. A wireless signal from a POP display may be received by a mobile device. The mobile device may provide the unique identifier in the wireless signal and a retail location of the mobile device to a remote server. The retail location of the mobile device may be provided by a mobile application (e.g., a retailer app) on the mobile device. The remote server may determine the retail location of the POP display by associating the retail location of the mobile device with the wireless beacon.
