  • Patent number: 11805019
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for segmenting and grouping a plurality of network nodes into one or more clusters. Content may be delivered from a transmitting user node to a receiving user node based on which cluster the receiving user node resides. The grouping of the clusters may be dynamically updated in real-time based on user activity data. Such user activity data may be collected from both a transmitting user node (e.g., server) and a receiving user node (e.g., user device) to map the delivery of a relevant communication. Advantageously, a transmitting user may deliver content to other relevant users and a receiving user may receive content from other relevant users.

  • Patent number: 11635889
    Abstract: Provided are dynamic graphical user interfaces for facilitating inter-application communications, such as in a mobile device. The dynamic graphical user interface can display simultaneously: a web-based interface of a mobile browser application for receiving one or more user actions on the web-based interface; and an interactive display in communication with a second mobile application different from the mobile browser application, wherein the interactive display dynamically presents, in real-time, a status or output of the second mobile application in response to the one or more user actions performed on the web-based interface, and wherein the interactive display is visible during performance of the one or more user actions on the web-based interface.

  • Patent number: 11507688
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for method for regulating access to syndicated data across multiple communication channels, including online and offline channels. A syndicated data item may be activated upon performance or completion of a user activity (e.g., online user activity, offline user activity, etc.). A syndicated data item may have one or more expiration conditions, wherein after expiration, the syndicated data item becomes unavailable for activation. The systems and methods may simultaneously or substantially simultaneously, in real-time or in near real-time, assess the expiration status of a syndicated data item delivered to a user across multiple communication channels, including online and offline channels.

  • Publication number: 20220358486
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing stored-value instrument purchase functionality for online shopping systems. In various embodiments, a computing system might assess content and/or information presented in a checkout page of a retailer website, the checkout page listing items selected by a user for purchase and a total purchase amount. The computing system might autonomously modify the checkout page by generating a user-selectable option therewithin, the user-selectable option comprising an option to purchase the items using a gift card available for purchase from a service provider. In response to selection of the user-selectable option, the computing system might provide a purchase interface that presents the user with a process to purchase a gift card having a gift card value. After completing purchase of the gift card, the computing system might apply the gift card value toward the total purchase amount within the checkout page.

  • Patent number: 9046980
    Abstract: By using a server separate from an image it is possible to display real-time auxiliary data, such as advertisements and other pertinent data, to viewers of that image by flipping the image and presenting the auxiliary data on the reverse side of the flipped image. In this manner, additional information is presented to a viewer without increasing the footprint of the image. In some embodiments, the identity of the viewer dictates the data that is provided. In other embodiments, the base images that are being viewed are uploaded by a viewer and are not provided by the sponsor of the server. The data could, for example, be data supplied by the image owner, by the site sponsor or by a third party.
