Abstract: Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of systems and methods for identifying a merchant location based on transaction records for the merchant. In an exemplary embodiment, a method generally includes accessing multiple router records. Each router record is assigned to one of multiple cells of a grid structure indicative of geographic location. Each router record is associated with a target merchant. The method further includes, for each of the multiple router records, searching for a match between the router record and at least one of multiple transactions at the target merchant, based on time, and reporting one or more of the multiple cells as a location associated with the target merchant, when a number of matching router records assigned to said one or more of the multiple cells exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: Exemplary systems and methods are provided for directing offer content to consumers at communication devices, while the consumers are at merchants. An exemplary method includes detecting an application identifier associated with a communication device at or near a merchant, and receiving signal strength records from the communication device indicative of signal strengths for wireless networking devices at a given time and associated with the application identifier. The method also includes accessing a zone map for the merchant that includes different zones each defining a position of at least one product, and plotting a path of the communication device, per given time, relative to the zone map. The method further includes displaying an offer for a product to the communication device, based on the path of the consumer through the merchant, along with other factors such as historical behavior patterns of the consumer, similar patterns from other consumers, etc.

Abstract: Methods and systems for determining consumer spend analytics are provided. The method includes identifying a plurality of microsegments of a population, retrieving transaction data associated with a first cardholder from a payment processing network, and matching the first cardholder to a first microsegment of the plurality of microsegments. The method also includes calculating, based at least in part on the typical income and the typical spend of the consumers in the first microsegment, a cardable spend for the first cardholder. The method further includes calculating, based at least in part on the cardable spend and the transaction data, a carded spend share that the first cardholder spent using a first payment device over the payment processing network; determining at least one consumer spend analytic based on the carded spend share; and reporting the carded spend share and the at least one consumer spend analytic.

Abstract: A method and a system are provided for wireless payment of parking fees or other charges for a vehicle. The method includes determining the location of the vehicle with a wireless communication device having a parking software application (App). The location is determined using a global positioning system. The method further includes transmitting the street parking location, a vehicle identification or user identification, and a payment to a parking authority server for initiating a street parking session with the wireless communication device, and allowing a user to change the street parking location with the wireless communication device. The method of this disclosure allows a user to change the street parking location, in particular, the user can select one or more street parking locations and initiate one or more street parking sessions with the wireless communication device.

Abstract: A system, a method, and a computer program product provide competitive data to a subscribing merchant regarding customers of the subscribing merchant and competing peer merchants. A computing device loads at least one microsegment hold table. The microsegment hold table is previously generated from demographic attributes regarding a plurality of individuals. The computing device identifies hashed recognition IDs associated with payment transactions completed at the subscribing merchant and competing peer merchants. The microsegment hold table and identified hashed recognition IDs are merged to generate a microsegment summary file. The microsegment summary file is transferred. The microsegment summary file and a microsegment definition file are merged to create a summary file indicating a number of identified recognition IDs associated with various statistics.

Abstract: Electron-hole production at a Schottky barrier has recently been observed experimentally as a result of chemical processes. This conversion of chemical energy to electronic energy may serve as a basic link between chemistry and electronics and offers the potential for generation of unique electronic signatures for chemical reactions and the creation of a new class of solid state chemical sensors. Detention of the following chemical species was established: hydrogen, deuterium, carbon monoxide, and molecular oxygen. The detector (1b) consists of a Schottky diode between an Si layer and an ultrathin metal layer with zero force electrical contacts.
