Systems and methods are disclosed herein for monitoring a location of a client device associated with a transportation service and generating augmented reality images for display on the client device. The systems and methods use sensor data from the client device and a device localization process to monitor the location of the client device by comparing renderings of images captured by the client device to renderings of the vicinity of the pickup location. The systems and methods determine navigation instructions from the user's current location to the pickup location and select one or more augmented reality elements associated with the navigation instructions and/or landmarks along the route to the pickup location. The systems and methods instruct the client device to overlay the selected augmented reality elements on a video feed of the client device.

This application relates to systems, methods, devices, and other techniques for utilizing visual reality shopping experience for users.

A schedule creation method is a method for creating a time schedule by executing a learning step multiple times. The learning step includes sequentially placing patterns each indicating a procedure in a processing sequence in a timetable for defining a time schedule for respective elements of a substrate processing apparatus. The sequentially placing patterns in a timetable includes: acquiring one or more placeable patterns that are allowed to be placed in the timetable from among the patterns based on a prescribed constraint condition; predicting and selecting through machine learning a pattern that makes an evaluation value maximum from among the one or more placeable patterns; and updating the timetable by placing the selected pattern in the timetable.

A method of generating and using a 2D barcode to provide an authenticated service subscriber with an adapted offer comprising monitoring and identifying, by a monitoring application associated with a first service provider, a social network for keywords related to a negative subscriber interaction with a second service provider; engaging a subscriber associated with the negative interaction by the first service provider; generating a one-time use 2D barcode associated with an offer and comprising embedded subscriber information; storing the barcode in a data store; sending the barcode to a mobile device; presenting and scanning the barcode; decoding the information by an offer application; authenticating the identity of the subscriber; adapting the offer based on the subscriber information; searching an inventory data store associated with a physical retail location of the first service provider; locating and presenting the adapted offer; and marking the barcode as expired in the barcode data store.

A method of determining a likelihood that a debt payment will be made or received, the method comprising sending a message to a debtor mobile computing device comprising a link to a debtor portal; displaying on the debtor mobile computing device an indication of the debt owing; displaying on the debtor mobile computing device a proposed payment plan for settlement of the debt; and receiving an indication that the debtor accepts the proposed payment plan is disclosed. The method may use Next Best Action (NBA) modelling. The message sent may be a SMS message and it may include an indication of the debt owing. The method may further comprise offering a discount to the debtor if the discounted amount is paid that day. The offer of a discount may initiate an automated negotiation process with the debtor.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for scanning a mobile computing device for applications produced by partnered entities and providing benefits when those applications are found. An exemplary system does this by accessing a list of applications and associating each application with a respective entity which has a rewards program linked to a specific entity. The system issues a request for application information of the applications which are installed on the mobile computing device, identifies applications that match the list of applications in the data record, and generates at least one notification based on the identified applications and the rewards program. The system then displays the at least one notification.
