  • Patent number: 12198118
    Abstract: A computer-implemented augmented reality-based method provides a user device access to data content by processing of a camera image captured by the user device to identify a candidate visual area, which is then processed to identify visual features indicative of available data content. The identified features are compared to visual features of database objects indicative of available data content, and a determination is made regarding the object that corresponds to the identified features. Instructions are then generated to augment a display of the camera image with selectable image features. In response to a selection of one of the selectable image features based on a multi-function transaction status indicator, a determination is made regarding whether the user device has permission to access the data content associated with the selected image feature. If not, a payment settlement arrangement is implemented for the user device to gain access permission to the data content.

  • Publication number: 20220300996
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating customer credit for participation in a marketing activity at a merchant location, including the steps of: a) receiving device identification information for a mobile electronic device (UE) of a customer at a merchant server, indicating that the customer is present at or near the merchant location, b) transmitting information to UE inviting participation by the customer in a merchant location-based marketing activity, c) determining a customer completion of the marketing activity at the merchant location, d) issuing a request by the merchant server that a balance in an earnings account of the customer be updated to include a customer credit amount provided by the merchant for completion of the marketing activity, and e) determining whether the updated balance exceeds a predetermined threshold amount.
