  • Publication number: 20210295289
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for facilitating a transaction between a payer and a merchant comprises identifying one or more merchants that are at or in proximity to a geolocation of the payer, and providing the payer a reward, notification or a reminder of a stored value associated with a merchant to apply to a transaction with the merchant. The reward, notification or reminder of the stored value can be provided based on an inference of intent of the payer to conduct a transaction with the merchant. A request to conduct a transaction with the merchant is received from the payer. The transaction between the payer and the merchant is processed with the reward or stored value applied thereto. A notification can be sent to the payer alerting the payer to a discounted item or proximity of the payer to an item and/or merchant they have saved to a list.

  • Publication number: 20210209292
    Abstract: Techniques are described that provide context identifiers for conversation threads between two parties communicating via a communication (e.g., messaging) platform. In at least one example, the parties may include a customer and a merchant customer service representative. In some examples, the merchant customer service representative may send a context message to the communication platform indicating a summary of the conversation thread and messages associated therewith. The communication platform may cause the summary to be presented concurrently with at least one message of the messages associated with the conversation thread. The summary may provide a means by which the customer may determine a context associated with a conversation thread, such as to quickly identify a particular conversation thread among a plurality of conversation threads between the customer and the merchant.

  • Publication number: 20210209293
    Abstract: Techniques are described that provide contextual data associated with a merchant application via a messaging application to provide a customer context while conducting a messaging conversation with a merchant. The customer may indicate an intent to initiate the messaging conversation with the merchant via a merchant application or the messaging application. A computing device associated with the merchant application may determine contextual data associated with the merchant application, the contextual data including real-time and/or near real time status of the merchant application. A communication platform associated with the messaging application may cause the contextual data to be presented to the customer via the messaging application, to keep the customer informed of the status of the merchant application while the customer conducts the messaging conversation with the merchant.

  • Patent number: 8296310
    Abstract: Unified management of time related information presents a user with a single interface by which the data in different ERP systems can be browsed and modified. Each of the ERP systems can contain data specific to a data group such as the address data group in a human resources ERP system, sales data in a sales ERP system, and project data in a project planning ERP system. A view management module obtains records from the ERP systems. The view manager also obtains journaling information that can be kept in the ERP systems or kept separately. The view manager creates a history view and data group views that can be presented to a user. The user interacts with the presentation to sort, browse, analyze, and edit the view and data. Data changed in a data group view can be forwarded to produce changes in the ERP and journaling systems.
