  • Patent number: 9606982
    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.

  • Publication number: 20140122171
    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.

  • Publication number: 20130132158
    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.
