Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a first server transmitting, to a first client device, a scannable code for display on the first client device. The scannable code encodes a session identifier for a session between the first client device and the first server. The first server receives a transaction identifier to authenticate a transaction within the session between the first client device and the first server. The transaction identifier is transmitted to the first server in response to a second client device scanning and decoding the scannable code displayed on the first client device to obtain the session identifier. The first server transmits an indication of a successful authentication to the first client device in response to the received transaction identifier.

Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems determine that a geolocation of a first mobile device is within a threshold distance from a geolocation of a second mobile device. In response, a list of one or more mobile devices within the threshold distance from the geolocation of the second mobile device, including the first mobile device, are transmitted to the second mobile device. A selection of the first mobile device from the list is received from the second mobile device. A request from the second mobile device to transmit a payment from an account associated with the second mobile device to an account associated with the first mobile device is received from the second mobile device. A confirmation of the requested payment is transmitted to the second mobile device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include systems, computer program products and computer implemented methods for allowing users to purchase one or more products from a merchant. Such embodiments may comprise a mobile device associated with a user, where the mobile device includes a memory having computer instructions that execute the steps of prompting the user to scan the code using the mobile device; translating the code to determine at least a product price and merchant identifier; creating a product purchase prompt on a display associated with the mobile device, and transmitting the product, product price and merchant identifier to a processing server to thereby facilitate an approval of a transaction between the user and the merchant.

Abstract: Techniques for electronic mail processing and publication for shared environments are described, including evaluating a data packet indicating receipt of an electronic message at a shared destination, retrieving the electronic message from the shared destination, processing the electronic message to generate a processed message configured to be posted to a shared environment, and posting the processed message to the shared environment.

Abstract: Techniques for sentiment and factor-based analysis in contextually-relevant user-generated data management are described, including evaluating data associated with a review displayed on an interface associated with a computing device, the data being retrieved by a crawler before being displayed on the interface, extracting a keyword from the review, performing an analysis of the review to identify one or more factors, and generating a landing page to aggregate content based on the keyword and the analysis of the one or more factors, and a pointer to the landing page, the pointer being configured to include the keyword and the one or more factors.

Abstract: Techniques for ranking sentiment-related content using sentiment and factor-based analysis of contextually-relevant user-generated data is described, including generating a term, the term associated with a keyword and a factor, grouping user-generated content associated with the term, the user-generated content being retrieved by a crawler and stored in a database, assigning a rank to the term, the rank associated with one or more attributes of the user-generated content, and including a link associated with the term in a list, the list comprising a plurality of links associated with a plurality of terms, each of the plurality of terms having an assigned rank.

Abstract: Techniques for retargeting contextually-relevant user-generated data are described, including detecting an event associated with a widget embedded on a website, and configured to initiate a call to a service to retrieve content contextually relevant to the website, storing a file associated with a browser on a computing device, the file being configured to store the data, generating an identifier to send to the service when the file indicates the browser is configured to display other data associated with another website and being configured to provide a parameter to identify the content, retrieving the content using the identifier, the content being stored in a repository, rendering a display in an interface, and enabling a hyperlink associated with the content and configured to point to a website other than the website or another website, the content being retrieved from the website using a crawler.
