Abstract: Apparatus for processing of transaction information, wherein transaction information relating to transactions with a payment card is transformed into a plurality of geographic sums (614, 616, 618) such that for each transaction a geographic location where the transaction took place is recognized in relation to an electronic geographic map, and monetary values of transactions performed in the same geographic location within a predetermined margin are added up to form geographic sums (614, 616, 618).

Abstract: An apparatus for location sharing may include a processor. The processor may be configured to access a point of interest and a geographic cell associated with the point of interest. In this regard, the geographic cell may include geographic cell boundaries. The processor may also be configured to receive location information. The location information may describe a location of a device. The processor may be further configured to determine whether the location described by the location information is within the geographic cell boundaries and associate the device with the point of interest in response to the location described by the location information being within the geographic cell boundaries. The processor may also be configured to share the association between the device and the point of interest via an online service. Associated methods and computer program products may also be provided.

Abstract: Content search involves receiving a user-formulated search query via a user device. The search query is submitted to two or more search domains. The search domains represent separate data repositories accessible via the user device. Results objects are received from the two or more search domains in response to the search query. The results objects arc ranked using different ranking criterion by the respective search domains from which the search results were received. A rank value for each of the results objects is determined based on a single ranking criterion. The results objects are ordered based at least in part on the rank values determined using the single ranking criterion and sent for display in a user interface of the user device.

Abstract: Mobile apparatus with transaction information is disclosed. The mobile apparatus receives, from an electronic service, with the wireless transceiver, a plurality of packets relating to transactions of an account linked with a payment card, transforms the received plurality of packets into transaction information, and displays, with the user interface, the transaction information such that transactions in relation to each other are represented by geometric objects.

Abstract: An approach is provided for generating a relevant social graph. A social graph identifying people associated with a user is retrieved. A communication history from a device associated with the user is retrieved. Information regarding a respective occurrence of each identified person in the communication history is determined. A relevant social graph is generated based, at least in part, on the determined occurrence information.

Abstract: Apparatus for processing of transaction information, wherein transaction information relating to transactions with a payment card is transformed into a plurality of geographic sums (614, 616, 618) such that for each transaction a geographic location where the transaction took place is recognized in relation to an electronic geographic map, and monetary values of transactions performed in the same geographic location within a predetermined margin are added up to form geographic sums (614, 616, 618).

Abstract: Apparatus and method are provided. The solution includes displaying (302) information on a retailer related benefit: detecting (304) a reclaiming action related to the benefit; transmitting (306) to a network server message including information on the reclaiming action; receiving (308) from the network server a timestamp related to the reclaiming action and a timestamp related to the expiration time of the benefit; and controlling (310) a timer to calculate the time difference of between the timestamps and displaying the timer.

Abstract: Payment card suspension is disclosed. A mobile apparatus maintains card data relating to a payment card. The mobile apparatus also receives, with a wireless transceiver, transaction data relating to a payment with the payment card. The transaction data includes retailer location data. The mobile apparatus obtains, with a positioning interface, user location data. If the location of the mobile apparatus as indicated by the user location data deviates from the location of the retailer as indicated by the retailer location data at least by a predetermined distance, the payment card is suspended and the user is informed about the suspension of the payment card with a user interface.

Abstract: Apparatus and method are provided. The solution includes in an apparatus controlling (304) a detector to obtain wirelessly from an object external to the apparatus information on an identifier related to a retailer; determining (306) the identification of a retailer on the basis of the identifier; transmitting (308) a query to the network server, the query including the identification of the retailer; receiving (310) a response from the server, the response including information on available retailer related benefits of the user; and if there are available benefits, controlling (312) the communication of the information on the benefits to the user.

Abstract: Apparatus and method are provided. The solution includes obtaining (404) from a computing device in a wireless manner information on an identifier related to a purchase session maintained by the computing device; transmitting (406) the identifier to a first network server; receiving (408) information from the first network server, the information related to the purchase session and including a request to acknowledge a purchase of the purchase session; transmitting (410) a purchase acknowledgement to the first network server.

Abstract: An approach is provided for optimizing data (e.g., media) transfer. Retrieval is initiated for information relating to transfer of media to one or more devices. It is determined whether a particular media that is to be transferred to the one or more devices is new to the one or more devices using the retrieved information. Transfer of the particular media to the devices is initiated in which the particular media is determined to be new.

Abstract: Communication between a retailer and a customer is disclosed.
