Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for video game promotions processing and generation based on real world transactions, including a promotion processing system; and a transaction system coupled over a communications network to the promotion processing system, wherein the promotion processing system is configured to generate a video game promotion based on a real world transaction performed on the transaction system.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for promotion generation and processing, including a keyfob device; a store device associated with a promotion and configured to communicate with the keyfob device, wherein based on a communication with the keyfob device the store device is configured to associate the promotion with the keyfob device; and a point-of-sale (POS) system, wherein the promotion associated with the keyfob device is communicated to the POS system for processing the promotion and for generating a corresponding sales slip including the promotion.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for processing bar codes at point-of-sale (POS) terminals, including a bar code reader or scanner for determining a bar code of an item; a pseudo bar code generator coupled to the bar code reader or scanner and that generates a pseudo bar code based on a received trigger signal; and a POS terminal coupled to the pseudo bar code generator. If the trigger signal is not received, the pseudo bar code generator sends to the POS terminal a bar code determined by the bar code reader or scanner. If the trigger signal is received, the pseudo bar code generator, based on the trigger signal, generates and sends a pseudo bar code the POS terminal. The POS terminal generates a sales slip based on bar codes from the bar code reader or scanner, and pseudo bar codes from the pseudo bar code generator.

Abstract: A method, system and computer readable medium for presenting information for use within a gas station, including sensing at the gas station at least an identification code on one or more identification-carrying devices; receiving at least the identification code and information presentation system identification information at an information server; determining one or more portions and type of information to be presented on an information presentation system at the gas station based on the identification code and the information presentation system identification information; receiving and printing at the gas station the one or more portions of information presented at the information presentation system; and storing on a template storage device one or more templates that are combinable with the one or more portions of information.

Abstract: A user identifies themselves to an information display device using, for example, an identification-carrying device that contains a unique identification code. The identification code is associated with a particular profile that identifies, for example, customer loyalty, preference and history data that may be associated with a particular user. An identification sensor senses the identification code on the identification-carrying device. The identification code is then forwarded to an information server. The information server uses the identification code, and possibly additional information such as an identification of the information display device, to access loyalty and preference data associated with the identification code. This information can include, for example, coupons that have been issued to the user associated with the identification code, a user's preferences, a user's purchase history, or the like.

Abstract: A system and method for providing an incentive for a purchase, including monitoring communications between a purchase system and price displaying device to determine information regarding a transaction; identifying at least one item being purchased as part of the transaction from the transaction information; determining a loyalty reward based on the identified item being purchased; and dispensing the loyalty reward.

Abstract: A method and system for providing an incentive for a type of payment, including displaying a message on an information display device prompting for selection of a payment type having an associated incentive for a transaction; determining a total sale of the transaction from a point-of-sale device; computing a reward to be conveyed based on the total sale and the associated incentive, if the payment type having the associated incentive is selected; and dispensing the reward.
