  • Patent number: 11218432
    Abstract: Inquiry data from one or more sources (e.g., client devices) may be analyzed to determine if key terms, date terms, and locality terms are indicative of an event to occur at a locality during one or more dates. Events that are detected may be communicated (e.g., via an electronic message(s)). An owner of a property may receive the electronic message(s) that are communicated for detected events and the owner may act to garner interest in stays at their property. Travelers searching for a property to stay at during the event may receive the electronic message(s) in the form of an offer (e.g., an email, a text message, a Tweet, a newsletter, etc.). The inquiry data may be received in real time and/or may be accessed from a data store. The Inquiry data may be curated to remove non-essential information and/or to include edited key terms, date terms, and locality terms.

  • Publication number: 20210350352
    Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to computer software and computing devices, and more particularly, to a system, an apparatus and a method configured to segregate data at an interface of a computing device to facilitate on-line electronic payment transactions. In one embodiment, a method includes presenting fields configured to accept a first type of data and to accept a second type of data for an on-line electronic payment transaction. The method includes generating an initialization signal for transmission to an isolated data management system to initialize a portion of a memory associated with first type of data, responsive to an interaction with a field, receiving data from the field, and generating a save signal to save the data from the field in a portion of the memory. This can be responsive to a second interaction with the field.

  • Patent number: 10339487
    Abstract: The present application relates generally to systems, software and electronic commerce. More specifically, systems, methods and software to reconcile free-text with structured data are disclosed. Structured data may be in the form, for example, of a set of attributes designated as associated with an occupiable property. Free-text may be parsed and one or more terms, words, phrases or the like may be extracted by the parsing and compared with the structured data to determine if there is a difference between the structured data and the free-text it is compared with. Detected differences may be reported (e.g., to an endpoint) in real-time or near real-time and may include a suggestion or recommendation to change the free-text to more closely match the structured data or to change the structured data to more closely match the free-text, or both, for example. An endpoint may be a client device such as a smartphone, tablet, pad, or the like.
