Abstract: In one example, a notification may be generated to prompt a user to clean a personal computing device. The notification may be based upon usage data of the personal computing device. Multiple types of usage data may be determined and combined to create a composite usage value. The composite usage value may be compared to a threshold usage value. A notification may be generated if the composite usage value exceeds the threshold usage value.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an interface for a return system that allows one or more merchants to funnel their returns processing to a central returns processing system. A merchant may apply its own, possibly unique set of business rules to a customer return request before linking to the interface or, alternatively, the interface may be programmed to apply the respective business rules of the various merchants. In a preferred embodiment, the returns interface maintains the look and feel for each of the various merchant so that the integration between the merchant system and central returns system is transparent to customers.
