Abstract: A method may include: receiving a notification of a triggering event, the triggering event identifying an associated product; accessing a baseline configuration for the product; transmitting a notification to a recipient responsible for maintaining the baseline configuration for the product; receiving an approved update to the baseline configuration from the recipient; generating an updated baseline configuration for the product based on the approved update; querying a database to identify an application subscriber for the triggering event for the product; and transmitting the updated baseline configuration to the identified application subscriber.

Abstract: A method for managing reward value related to a transaction account is described. The method includes receiving a redemption request; generating a reward cost based on at least a conversion rate and a transaction amount; updating a reward value in an account profile to place a hold on an amount of the reward value equivalent to the reward cost; and deducting a deduction amount from the reward value.

Abstract: A system and a method of managing a lottery service for visually-impaired users allow users to read a lottery ticket with a plurality of braille-inscribed ticket numbers. The system includes a PC device, at least one remote server, at least one physical lottery ticket, and at least one external server. The method begins by scanning the braille-inscribed ticket numbers off the physical lottery ticket with the PC device. The braille-inscribed numbers are converted into a plurality of digital ticket numbers with the PC device. The digital ticket numbers are relayed from the PC device to the remote server. A plurality of winning numbers is then received for the lottery service from the external server with the remote server. If the digital ticket numbers match the plurality of winning numbers, a lottery winning notification is generated with the remote server and is then outputted with the PC device.

Abstract: A method for imparting sustainability credence attributes for animal source food products is provided. First, at least one animal source food product is produced. The manure associated with that production is collected and treated, and the nitrogen and phosphorus content of the manure is analyzed and time stamped. At least one sustainability outcome from the treated manure is quantified, and an animal source food product, including a product package, animal package lot, individual live animal, or a plurality of live animals, is identified and labeled, and direct and indirect sustainability outcomes are linked with the animal source food product. Sustainability outcomes are demonstrated to buyers or post-processors of animal source food products, first by combining the sustainability outcome data and food animal production data with food animal producer provenance data from the same or a corresponding time interval, and then by providing access to that data.

The I/O device may present the question to an occupant of the vehicle and receive a response to the question from the occupant of the vehicle. The processor may cross-reference data associated with the feature and the response and update an object recognition database based on the cross-referencing.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for authorizing access to transaction data to a third-party computer system is implemented by a payment processor computer system coupled to a memory. The method includes receiving a request for access to transaction data associated with a cardholder account, requesting a set of authentication information associated with the cardholder account, authenticating the set of authentication information upon receiving the set of authentication information, and authorizing the third-party computer system to receive transaction data associated with the cardholder account. Upon validation, the payment processor computer system generates an authorization token and provides the authorization token to the third-party computer system. The third-party computer system uses the authorization token and a secure identifier to retrieve transaction data associated with the cardholder account.
