  • Patent number: 12086826
    Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to centralized identities for personalization of data presentation. A centralized identity is generated when similar user identifiers as stored across resources are determined. The centralized identity associates the user identifiers with each other and allows for user-related data from the multiple disparate resources to be queried and received. This user-related data can then be utilized to determine one or more personalizations to apply, and an application being used by the user may be modified to present the personalizations.

  • Publication number: 20240212032
    Abstract: A first identifier associated with a brick-and-mortar store of a merchant and a second identifier associated with a designated physical area within the brick-and-mortar store can be accessed to generate a third identifier that is an identification code scannable by a computing device of a customer. The identification code can be received from the computing device of the customer and a menu of items associated with the merchant can be caused to be presented via the computing device of the customer. An indication of an order for an item of the menu of items associated with the third identifier is received from the computing device of the customer. Payment data associated with a payment instrument of the customer is received from the computing device of the customer, and payment for the order of the item is processed based at least in part on the payment data.

  • Patent number: 11928724
    Abstract: Customer-device application sites (e.g., content presented via a progressive web applications) that are accessible via merchant-managed identifiers (e.g., identification codes) are described. An identification of a physical location associated with a merchant can be associated with an identification code. The identification code can be received from a computing device of a customer and, based at least in part on receiving the identification code, merchant data associated with the merchant can be caused to be presented via a web browser of the computing device of the customer. In an example, the merchant data can be presented via the web browser by a progressive web application downloaded onto the computing device of the customer via the web browser. An indication of an input received via the progressive web application can be received by the computing device of the customer and an operation based at least in part on the input can be performed.
