  • Patent number: 11087342
    Abstract: A promotion processing system may include user devices that may include a mobile device to acquire an image of a given product having a brand associated therewith. The system may include a promotion processing server to obtain the acquired image of the given product from the mobile wireless device, and use image recognition to determine the brand associated with the given product based upon the acquired image. The server may also operate a chatbot with the user devices. The chatbot may include a social media wall having user-obtained images of different products, and each different product may be associated with the brand. The server may add the acquired image to the social media wall and solicit voting, within the chatbot and from the user devices, for a favored image on the social media wall, and determine and communicate a reward value to the mobile device based upon the voting.

  • Patent number: 11074603
    Abstract: A promotion processing system may include a user device associated with a given user and geographically spaced apart communications servers each executing a respective chatbot. A promotion processing server may determine a first geographic zone of the given user based upon communications between the user device and a first geographically spaced apart communications server, and generate and communicate a digital promotion to the user device via a first chatbot. The digital promotion may have a redemption parameter based on the first geographic zone. The promotion processing server may determine a second geographic zone of the given user based upon communications between the user device and a second geographically spaced apart communications server, and determine whether the redemption parameter is valid in the second geographic zone, and when not, adjust the redemption parameter and communicate the digital promotion with the adjusted redemption parameter to the user device via a second chatbot.

  • Patent number: 10755297
    Abstract: A system for processing a digital promotion may include a mobile wireless communications and a digital promotion server. The server may generate a digital promotion for a given product based upon a promotion request, and communicate the digital promotion to the mobile device based upon the promotion request. The server may cooperate with the mobile device to prompt the user for a user-provided identification code for redemption of the digital promotion at a redemption location, and determine whether the user-provided identification code is unique relative to other user-provided identification codes. When unique, the user-provided identification code may be stored for redemption of the digital promotion, otherwise a server-provided unique identification code may be generated and communicated to the mobile device. The server may cooperate with the redemption location to redeem the digital promotion based upon one of the user-provided identification code and the server-provided unique identification code.
