  • Publication number: 20170352095
    Abstract: Described herein is a system for optimizing transactions conducted using a portfolio of payment devices by providing strategic content. In particular, content are assigned to payment devices in a portfolio of payment devices based on a frequency of a transaction type and a frequency with which a payment device is used. In some embodiments, a content may be generated for a payment device upon determining that a frequency of use associated with the payment device is below a usage frequency threshold. In some embodiments, a number of transactions associated with a portfolio of payment devices may be maximized by assigning content associated with transaction types that are frequently conducted to payment devices that are infrequently used as well as assigning content associated with transaction types that are infrequently conducted to payment devices that are frequently used.

  • Publication number: 20170178214
    Abstract: Disclosed is a social dress up game that may be a fun mobile app that may be played collaboratively with friends, using the photo capability of a mobile phone or smart mobile device. One player will separately take a picture of a friend, and then invite two friends to join. Each player will dress up one part or component of the whole body of the photo-head, body or legs. In the end, the three different parts will be merged into an interesting and unique image of their friend that they can also share with the game players. Since each game player would have worked on only that player's component, the resulting merged image will be a surprise to all players.

  • Publication number: 20160026974
    Abstract: Aspects of the present application involve a system and method for shipment delivery confirmation. In example embodiments, a recipient of a parcel uses a mobile application executing on a client device and in communication with a server to engage with enhanced user interfaces that facilitate delivery confirmation of the parcel. The user interfaces may include display of presentation data overlaid on a real time image of the parcel. Initially, the presentation data displayed in the user interface may include a first element (e.g., a button) that allows the user to confirm delivery of the parcel, and in response to user interaction with the first element, the user interface may be updated to include a second element indicating delivery of the parcel has been confirmed. Further, a delivery confirmation notification may be transmitted to an additional device in response to the user interaction with the first element.

  • Publication number: 20130159144
    Abstract: A method and a system for providing an alternative fulfillment for a buyer's unfulfilled order are described. The system has an order fulfillment issue detection module, an alternative fulfillment qualification module, a replacement item matching module, and a replacement item order module. The order fulfillment issue detection module detects a fulfillment delay of an item in an order placed in an online marketplace. The alternative fulfillment qualification module determines whether the fulfillment delay qualifies for an alternative fulfillment order. The replacement matching module determines a replacement item for the item. The replacement item order module cancels the order and replaces the order with the alternative fulfillment order for the replacement item.
