  • Publication number: 20210158393
    Abstract: A technique for tracking advertisement efficacy using consumer transactions is disclosed. An information tracking agent maintains and stores information related to users identified by a unique identifier. A user is presented with an online/offline advertisement. An information tracking agent records and stores the advertisement transaction. When a user performs a transaction for purchase of goods or service that are the subject of the advertisement, the information tracking agent identifies the user with the unique identifier and the matching agent matches the user transaction with the displayed advertisement. The system automatically tracks the effectiveness of the advertisements displayed to users without requiring consumer action, beyond the purchase/transaction, in response to the displayed advertisement. In another embodiment, the system automatically tracks user location with a GPS and dynamically displays advertisements on billboards connected to the information tracking agent.

  • Publication number: 20190149454
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to bypass and non-bypass techniques for routing signals in a computing network. In some embodiments, a method is provided for bypass routing computing operation information in a computing network. The method comprises: receiving, by a computing device, computing operation information comprising first information; recognizing, by the computing device, that the computing operation information relates at least in part to a first computing operation that is different from a second computing operation related to a computing operation-processing network; and routing, by the computing device, a first message comprising information related to the first computing operation to a first computing operation-processing computing device while bypassing the computing operation-processing network related to the second computing operation.

  • Publication number: 20170279897
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to an apparatus for real-time routing of an input signal received from a real-time sensor to perform disparate computing operations in a complex computing network, wherein hut for the real-time routing of the input signal, which is necessarily rooted in computing technology, separate input signals would be needed for performing the disparate computing operations.

  • Publication number: 20150310477
    Abstract: Described are methods, systems, and computer readable media for enrolling consumers and payment cards in a program. An exemplary method comprises communicably linking, using an application program interface, a computer terminal and a computer server; determining, using the application program interface in communication with the computer terminal, execution of a purchase transaction using a payment card; determining, using the application program interface in communication with the computer server, whether the payment card is enrolled in a program; in response to determining the payment card is not enrolled in the program, determining, using the application program interface in communication with the computer server, whether to offer an enrollment option to a consumer associated with the payment card; and offering, using the application program interface in communication with the computer server, the enrollment option to the consumer.

  • Publication number: 20130297395
    Abstract: Decribed are methods and systems for registering consumers with merchant loyalty or other merchant programs a by using a credit card or other form of payment to register the consumer, and thereafter automatically recognizing the consumer as a member in the program based on subsequent purchases made using the form of payment. Consumer rewards can then be automatically applied during the purchase transactions with the merchant. Thus, the present disclosure allows for consumers to seamlessly and transparently gain the benefits of consumer programs merely by purchasing goods and services using forms of payment, without consumers needing to carry additional cards or coupons or login information.
