  • Patent number: 11856474
    Abstract: Techniques for providing proximity based messages are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include one or more servers configured to receive proximity message requests from a consumer device. The requests may include consumer device locations, which may be used by the one or more servers to generate a geofence set. Furthermore, the consumer device location may be used as a basis for selecting notification data relevant to the location. Both the geofence set and the notification data may be sent to the consumer device in a single proximity message response for local notification creation if the notification data can be collected within a maximum response time. The notification data may be provided via a push notification server asynchronously if the notification data cannot be collected within the maximum response time.

  • Patent number: 11741493
    Abstract: Provided herein are method, apparatus, and computer program products for automatically outputting a wearer interface or a redemption interface. The wearer interface and the redemption interface may contain information related to a wearer of a wearable device and a provider respectively. The wearable device may reference a merchant redemption parameters database to facilitate the output of the redemption interface, and the wearable device my reference a wearer parameters database to facilitate the output of the wearer interface. Both the wearer interface and the redemption interface may be displayed on the wearable device by an interactive display.

  • Publication number: 20220366454
    Abstract: Techniques for programmatically interfacing with mobile chat sessions are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include one or more servers configured to: access the mobile chat session hosted by the mobile chat server; receive input chat data from the mobile chat server; determine promotions scores of candidate promotions based at least in part on the input chat data; and provide the output chat data to the mobile chat server including an electronic marketing communication of one or more promotions selected based on the promotion scores. The one or more servers may be further configured to programmatically interact with chat accounts within the mobile chat session, such as to request additional search terms for improved promotion relevance targeting, among other things.

  • Publication number: 20220237659
    Abstract: A computer-executable method, a computer system and a non-transitory computer-readable medium are provided for causing electronic marketing communications of one or more promotions to be generated on a mobile computing device associated with a consumer. A method includes programmatically retrieving promotion data indicative of a plurality of promotions from a computer memory. The method includes determining, using processing circuitry, a promotion score for each of the plurality of promotions. Each promotion score is determined based on consumer profile data, stored consumer activity data, and at least one of: current consumer activity data, current local context data, or predicted consumer activity data. The method further includes outputting indications configured to generate electronic marketing communications associated with the plurality of promotions based on the promotion scores of the plurality of promotions.
