An embodiment of the present invention is described that includes an incentive application for providing incentives to a visitor of a site. The incentive application is both portable onto other sites and is customizable on each site to the information provided on the site.

The present disclosure described herein relates to a system and method for distributing messages to an electronic device. The method comprises: analyzing data relating to the device to determine a correlation of data relating to a user of the device; selecting an advertisement from a set of advertisements based on the correlation of data; and transmitting the advertisement to the device. The correlation of data may be determined from analyzing movement data and at least one status indicator relating to the device.

Systems and methods are described for identifying a subset of interest from a general population and for monitoring a database of daily activity logs associated with the general population in order to identify database entries indicative of an occurrence of a pre-defined trigger event that is associated with a member of the subset of interest. In particular, systems and methods are described that allow a massive database of daily activity logs to be monitored to identify trigger events that have occurred within the past twenty-four hours or other very recent time period. Embodiments are described that may be advantageously used by a provider of credit-related products and/or services who wishes to accurately target prospective customers, identified by the system, based on occurrence of a trigger event, as being in a decision-making phase of credit shopping, for purposes of making a timely and targeted offering relevant to the customers' current activities.

A system and method for providing targeted marketing to a user based on the user's social media interaction. The system includes one or more computing platforms providing computer-automated functionality performing method steps for accepting a digital media and digital media related data from a publisher, generating associated information unique identifiers, monitoring social media networks for member-user rankings of the digital media after it is posted, and communicating to a member-user targeted marketing information based on the user rankings A data storage device persists the digital media, digital media related data, and information unique identifier, which may include a linking hash character, a unique identifier, an account identifier, and/or social media network system-defined elements. The publisher selects digital media and information representing digital media elements, and posts the digital media on the social media network website. Edits, if applied to the selected digital media, are persisted in the data storage.

A system comprising a machine-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a computer-implemented method for collecting body measurements of a human user using a body measurement garment is provided. The body measurement garment comprises a plurality of sensors configured to produce a set of output data. The method may include receiving the set of output data from the body measurement garment and determining a plurality of body measurements from the output data. The method may further include generating a body shape model representing the shape of the body of the user. The method may also include generating a garment fit model representing the fit of a garment on the human user.

A system for evaluating health risk is provided. The system may be configured for requesting first data from a merchant associated with a user and second data from an activity tracking service associated with the user. The system may also comprise analyzing the item to determine a first health impact for the item based on the item and demographic information associated with the user. The system may further comprise analyzing the level of activity to determine a second health impact from the level of activity based on the level of activity and the demographic information associated with the user. The system may further comprise selecting an advertisement based on medical data, and at least one of the first health impact, the second health impact and the demographic information associated with the user.

Systems and methods of facilitating transactions related to targeted or customized commercial offerings based on derived sentiment states are provided. The sentiment states are derived from digital representations such as images, videos and sound recordings.

A method, system, and computer program product for managing user identification codes in an internet advertising environment. One aspect implements a system including a database engine to store a plurality of signals comprising characteristics and/or values received from a user device. A user ID generator calculates collision statistics and/or fragmentation statistics to form a first mapping function that is in turn used to generate a plurality of identification codes based at least in part a first set of selected signals. A calibration module produces measurements determined from collision quantities and/or fragmentation quantities using the first mapping function, wherein the measurements are determined by comparing the plurality of identification codes to entries in a known ID database. A sequencing module generates updated sequences of mapping functions.

A method, system and computer-usable medium for performing cognitive computing operations comprising receiving streams of data from a plurality of data sources; processing the streams of data from the plurality of data sources, the processing the streams of data from the plurality of data sources performing data enriching for incorporation into a cognitive graph; defining a travel-related cognitive persona within the cognitive graph, the travel-related cognitive persona corresponding to an archetype user model, the travel-related cognitive persona comprising a set of nodes in the cognitive graph; associating a user with the travel-related cognitive persona; defining a travel-related cognitive profile within the cognitive graph, the travel-related cognitive profile comprising an instance of the travel-related cognitive persona that references personal data associated with the user; associating the user with the travel-related cognitive profile; and, performing a cognitive computing operation based upon the travel-related cognitive profile associated with the user.

There is provided an apparatus and method for a webshop such that the products shown to a customer are related to the purchasing habits of the customer. In particular, a control unit is provided arranged to communicate with a product information database, a product category database and a customer purchase history database. The control unit includes a product categorising unit arranged to generate at least one product category based on product information in the product information database and to store the at least one generated product category in the product category database. The control unit further includes a calculating unit arranged to calculate a probability of a customer being an underbuyer/overbuyer of a type of product based on the customer's purchase history stored in the customer purchase history database and the at least one product category from the product category database.
