  • Systems and methods for dynamically determining activity levels in a selected geographical region
    Patent number: 10853865
    Abstract: An active locations (AL) computing device is described herein. The AL computing device is programmed to receive, from a user computing device, a selection of a geographical region. The AL computing device may retrieve transaction data from a payment processing network, environmental data representing environmental conditions at the selected geographical region, merchant data representing characteristics of one or more merchants located within the selected geographical region, social media data including events occurring within the selected geographical region, and historical data. The AL computing device is further programmed to determine activity levels for the selected geographical region based on one or more of the transaction data, environmental data, merchant data, social media data, and historical data. The AL computing device may convert the determined activity levels into an interactive heat map, apply a filter to the heat map, and transmit the heat map to the user computing device.
