Abstract: The early adopters and potential influencers (EAPI) system, method and computer-readable medium provide a way to identify early adopters and potential influencers. The EAPI system obtains a list of purchases for customers of merchants and/or subscriptions from a transaction tracking system. The EAPI system creates a time-based transaction network, and using a scoring function, the EAPI system determines an early adopter and/or potential influencer ranking among customers in the network. The EAPI system may use one or more customer attributes to determine a customer's influence with respect to different dimensions.

Abstract: The email suggestor system and method provide an efficient and effective way to capture a user identifier, such as an email address of a consumer in a retail environment. The email suggestor system generates one or more suggested first text portions based on input data, outputs at least one of the suggested first text portions, and receives a selection of a first text portion. The email suggestor system generates one or more suggested second text portions of a user identifier based on the input data, outputs at least one of the suggested second text portions, and receives a selection of a second text portion. The email suggestor system generates a user identifier including the selected first text portion and the selected second text portion. The email suggestor system uses received feedback response to refine and/or train one or more models with which it generates the suggested text portions.

Abstract: Various methods are provided for determining transactional networks using transactional data. One example method may comprise receiving a set of transactional data associated each of a plurality of customers, the set of the transactional data comprising a plurality of ordered lists of elements, each ordered list of elements defining a transaction of a plurality of transactions, the ordered list of elements comprising information identifying a particular customer from the plurality of customers, a merchant, and a timestamp, for each particular customer from the plurality of customers, generating a network, each generated network comprising one or more merchant nodes, a plurality of customer nodes, one or more merchant-customer edges between at least one of the one or more merchant nodes and at least one of the plurality of customer nodes, and one or more customer-customer edges between two or more customer nodes.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer readable media for providing a point-of-sale system that can be configured to facilitate the sale of products and transmit transaction data to a cloud based system are provided herein. The cloud based system can be maintained by a promotional party and be configured to generate deal offers and/or provide other services based on the transaction data received. In some embodiments, a fee may be charged for some or all of the services offered and/or the transactional data provided to the promotional system may be governed by an agreement between the promotional party and the merchant.

Abstract: Provided herein are system, methods and computer readable storage media in facilitating the determination of provider parameters, such as a provider margin, for a promotion of the provider's goods, services, and/or the like in an agreement between the provider, also known as a merchant, and a promotion and marketing service that is configured to illustrate or otherwise inform consumers of the availability of one or more instruments for a promotion. In providing such functionality, the system may be configured to, for example, receive provider characteristic data, determine historical provider information, receive provider promotion structure data, determine a provider profile, determine a positive return on investment threshold, and transmit a provider parameter.

Abstract: The present invention is associated with a method that takes a subsequence of a credit card number, in particular the suffix (or last n digits), and transaction data associated with the cardholder. For each subsequence of the credit card number, a set of data may be used in order to uniquely identify the cardholder. The identification of the cardholder may be performed in a particular search space that is composed of all possible credit card numbers and includes the transaction data associated with the cardholder.

Abstract: The rewards program system and method provide an efficient and effective way for customers to enroll in rewards programs, and accrue and redeem rewards at participating merchants. The system generates promotions, analyzes transaction data to identify whether a customer used a promotion, issued by the system (e.g., promotions provider), with a merchant. When the customer redeems a promotion, the system accrues reward amounts in a customer account, and allows the customer to redeem accrued rewards amounts. The system generates credit card profiles and customer profiles, and offers customers subsequent promotions based on the transaction data and/or the customer's customer profile. The system issues the customer subsequent promotions when the amount credited to the rewards account satisfies a redemption threshold. The subsequent promotions may be redeemable at merchants that have promotions issued by the promotion provider, including the merchant where the promotion was used that resulted in the credited amount.

Abstract: The present invention is associated with a computerized system that takes a subsequence of a credit card number, in particular the suffix (or last n digits), and transaction data associated with the cardholder. For each subsequence of the credit card number, a set of data may be used in order to uniquely identify the cardholder. The identification of the cardholder may be performed in a particular search space that is composed of all possible credit card numbers and includes the transaction data associated with the cardholder. In an exemplary embodiment, the computerized system is used to promote engagements between individual cardholders and merchants by effectuating marketing actions in combination with commercial transactions when products or subscriptions are purchased.
