Patent number: 10325268Abstract: A platform transforms recall initiation request, product identifier and purchase processing request inputs into recall notification message outputs. The Platform receives a purchase processing request including a plurality of product identifiers and preselects product identifiers that qualify for purchase processing based on at least one purchase processing rule. The Platform facilitates querying of a product recall database to determine if the preselected product identifiers match recalled product identifiers in the product recall database. If at least one of the preselected product identifiers match the recalled product identifiers, the Platform retrieves a recall message associated with the at least one of the preselected product identifiers and notification preferences associated with the purchase processing request.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2017Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: VISA INTERNATIONAL SERVICE ASSOCIATIONInventors: Edward W.

Patent number: 8626579Abstract: In one aspect, a computing apparatus is configured to facilitate the identification of a transaction resulting from an activity occurring in a substantially separate context or environment, such as an offline transaction in a “brick and mortar” retail store resulting from an online advertisement or an online search. The computing apparatus may match information about the activity and information about the transaction to correlate the online activity and the offline transaction. The matching process may involve the use of an offer for a discount, an incentive, a rebate, a reward, reward points, cash back, a gift, etc. The offer is to be provided in the advertisement associated with an online activity and redeemed in a payment transaction, processed via the transaction handler, to correlate the advertisement and the transaction.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2011Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: Visa U.S.A.
