  • Patent number: 10657558
    Abstract: A first set of electronic information is logged to a remotely located data store, including a user identifier, primary content, secondary content, and user interaction with the primary content and the secondary content. A second set of electronic information is received from a data source other than the user device, the second set of electronic information being related to the same user identifier as the user identifier of the first set of electronic information. Behavioral data is created for the user identifier based on at least the logged first set of electronic information and the second set of electronic information.

  • Patent number: 10210715
    Abstract: A number of mechanisms can reduce transaction costs and increase the economic viability of a number of products. A combination instant lottery ticket and debit card makes it possible to issue prepaid debit cards having a relatively low monetary value. A combination on-line ticket or receipt and debit card can automate the prize paying process, simplifying the retailer's responsibilities while reducing the potential for fraud. Various cash flow and authentication techniques, such as age and location verification, nano payment methods and spam filters based on these mechanisms are also described. Instant lottery tickets, and in particular, losing tickets, can be provided with a small residual value by placing account information on the ticket. In another version, a lottery ticket can be combined with a payment card that operates as a closed payment system whereby the payment card can only be used with a specified vendor.
