  • Publication number: 20250148232
    Abstract: Implementing extended reality (XR) tags in an XR platform is described. A server(s) may obtain, via a user interface of an application executing on a client device, a definition of an XR tag, and may embed information in the XR tag in accordance with the definition of the XR tag. The server(s) may further obtain, via the user interface, one or more rules applicable to the XR tag. The server(s) may further store data representing the XR tag in a data store. In some examples, the definition and/or the one or more rules allow for customizing the XR tag and/or the information embedded in the XR tag to other client devices that are accessing the XR tag, users of the other client devices, and/or a creator of the XR tag.

  • Patent number: 12190322
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems for using a resource locator and customer identifier to identify transactions associated with certain characteristics. An example method comprises monitoring transaction data and storing it within a database. Transaction data associated with a customer is stored at a storage location within the database, and the storage location is associated with an identifier and accessible via a resource locator. A request is received that is associated with purchase activity of the customer and specifies a time period and transaction characteristics(s). It is determined that that the request is associated with the identifier. Based at least in part on the identifier and the transaction data associated with the customer, transaction(s) of the customer occurring within the time period and including the characteristic(s) are identified.

  • Publication number: 20220172179
    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, systems and techniques for providing digital receipts that may include itemized, interactive, and/or modifiable information about a transaction, such as a purchase transaction between a customer and a merchant. In various examples, a resource locator may be associated with transaction data and/or payment data. Furthermore, the resource locator may be associated with a storage location at which the transaction data and/or the payment data may be stored. In various implementations, the resource locator may enable access retrieval of data stored in the storage location to facilitate provision of an itemized digital receipt. Additionally, or alternatively, the resource locator may enable access retrieval of data stored in the storage location to facilitate provision of a response to an item-level information request.
