Patent number: 10846729Abstract: A system for validating, redeeming, and financially settling coupons is described. The system includes a real time network through which a Point-of-Sale (POS) device communicates with an Intelligent Clearing Network (ICN) server. The ICN server is configured to run a real time application while in communication with the POS device, wherein the POS device transmits coupon data elements read at the POS device and other consumer transaction information including universal product codes purchased, and transaction details to the ICN server via the network. The ICN server validates the coupon data elements and provides the POS device information in order to redeem coupons. Apparatus and computer readable media are also described.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2018Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: INTELLIGENT CLEARING NETWORK, INC.Inventors: Richard B. Thibedeau, Brian Schulte, Michael Skelton, Gary Oakley, Jon Robertson
