The embodiments provided herein relate to a system for optimizing and automating the selection of a payment method used for online purchases. The system includes at least one user computing device in operable connection with a user network. An application server is in operable communication with the user network to host an application program for analyzing and determining an optimal method of payment. The application program includes a user interface module for providing access to the application program via the at least one user computing device. An online marketplace allows the user to select one or more goods and services and an analysis module for determining an optimal payment method using one or more financial metrics.

A system for integrating real-world interactions within a virtual environment comprises a processor associated with a server. The processor receives a request with a first user data from a user device to conduct a first interaction in a real-world environment. The processor processes a user profile and the first user data to generate a virtual meeting area with an entity avatar associated with an entity device. The processor sends a first mobile deep link to the user device to grant access to the virtual meeting area. The processor conducts a second interaction between the user device and the entity avatar in the virtual meeting area and obtains a second user data from the user device. The processor processes the user profile and the second user data to generate contextual objects on a display of the user device. The processor renders the contextual objects into an application profile.

The present disclosure discloses a system for providing a unified platform for automobile-related services. The system comprises a server comprising a database to store data related to automobile services, said services selected from automobile auction services, automobile marketing services, automobile event management services, automobile job posting services, automobile transportation services, automobile body repair services, and automobile financing services. The system further comprises a computing device operatively connected to said server via a communication network, wherein the computing device receives a keyword-based search query from a user, wherein the user is selected from a business-to-business automobile market type. Said server receives the keyword-based search query from the computing device, performs the search within the database to fetch data related to the automobile services, and transmits said data to the computing device.

A method of constructing a set of motifs for use in detecting messages of interest in a network of nodes is provided, the method comprising controlling circuitry to: acquire target data, the target data comprising a set of messages which have been exchanged between nodes in the network, the set of messages including a number of messages of interest; acquire control data, the control data comprising a set of messages which have been produced based on a random exchange of messages between nodes in the network; detect motifs within the target data and the control data, each motif being a repeated pattern of messages appearing within either the target data and/or the control data; generate a set of values indicative of a significance of the motifs which have been detected in the target data and the motifs which have been detected in the control data using a frequency with which these motifs have been detected; and construct a set of motifs for use in detecting messages of interest in the network using the set of values which have been produced and a comparison of the motifs detected in the target data with the motifs detected in the control data.

A method includes presenting, in a user interface for a user account with an online platform, a first display object comprising a payment progress indicator representative of a payment plan for paying a debt. The payment plan is a combination payment plan comprising at least two different payment schedules. The indicator comprises a first component representative of a first of the payment schedules and a second component representative of a second of the payment schedules. The first component is distinct from the second component. Responsive to determining that a payment has been received, the method comprises modifying at least a portion of the respective first or second components to indicate that the payment has been made.
