Abstract: Systems and methods for providing an advertisement marketplace where buyers and sellers can trade linear mediacast advertisement inventory programmatically at local, national, and/or worldwide levels. The marketplace system may include a seller-controlled marketplace system which connects sellers with buyers and offers revenue management tools for optimizing yields across direct and programmatic channels. The advertisement inventory is bought and sold as canonical inventory units which group similar but discrete advertisement slots together. The marketplace system may include a real-time bidding (RTB) adapter through which digital advertising buyers may place bids for such inventory units using standard protocols utilized in digital RTB systems.

Abstract: Systems as described herein may include predicting item level data based on merchant advertisement information. A transaction pattern may be detected. The merchant advertisement information may be retrieved and parsed to generate a price list. A number of transactions that each shares a common payment amount may be determined and the number may reach a threshold value. Items from the price list may be matched with the common payment amount. The transaction records may be updated to indicate likely item level transaction information. In a variety of embodiments, the likely transaction information may be presented to a user.

Abstract: A system that includes a fuel dispenser terminal and a remote controller. The fuel dispenser terminal is configured to send a service request for a fuel purchase to the remote controller and receive a personalized offer in response to sending the service request. The fuel dispenser terminal is further configured to display the personalized offer, receive a user response indicating the personalized offer was accepted, and send the user response to the remote controller.

Abstract: The disclosure herein relates to systems, methods, and devices for decreasing latency and/or preventing data leakage that may arise from advertisement insertion. In some embodiments, the systems, methods, and devices described herein provide for asynchronous advertisement selection and/or insertion separate from user-requested content retrieval and/or delivery, wherein the advertisement selection can be performed in parallel with and/or at a separate location from the user-requested content retrieval and/or delivery, thereby decreasing latency in rendering user-requested content. Further, in certain embodiments, the systems, methods, and devices described herein can prevent data leakage by preventing and/or circumventing the need to use cookie syncing among different DSPs, SSPs, or the like. Moreover, in some embodiments, the systems, methods, and devices described herein are configured to deliver advertisements as a native content, thereby further decreasing latency and/or preventing data leakage.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide advertising that is aware of coupon states and user states. An advertisement to be presented to a user is determined. One of multiple versions of the advertisement is generated based at least in part on a state associated with the user and/or a state associated with a digital coupon for an item. One or more of the versions present the digital coupon. Data encoding the generated version of the advertisement is sent to a client associated with the user.

Abstract: A consumer may initiate a transaction using a transaction account. The transaction account issuer may transmit a notification to the consumer that the transaction has been authorized. The consumer may select requestees with whom to split the transaction. The transaction account issuer may transmit notifications to requestees to request payment from the requestees. The transaction account issuer may transfer the payment from a transaction account of the requestee to the consumer's transaction account.

Abstract: A method implemented on an electronic computing device includes receiving a request for an automated teller machine (ATM) transaction from an ATM. Authentication credentials are received of a customer of the ATM. The authentication credentials are associated with the request for the ATM transaction.
