  • Patent number: 11228862
    Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) has dynamically changing user-selectable graphical tiles that automatically reorder in closest-to-farthest order based on a real-time location of an electronic computing device having a location tracking device. Physical entities near the device are displayed on the GUI. As the location of the device changes, the list dynamically changes in real time by reordering display of the tiles on the GUI so that a closest of the physical entities is displayed topmost. A points balance associated with a user of the electronic computing device is displayed. A window is displayed in response to triggering events. The user can select one of the tiles, or the device can come within a minimum threshold distance. In response to a selection or user input, an exchange value is received from an external computer server corresponding to a number of points. An electronic transaction is facilitated using the exchanged points.

    Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) with dynamically changing user-selectable graphical tiles that automatically reorder in closest-to-farthest order based on a real-time location of an electronic computing device having a location tracking device. Physical entities near the device are displayed on the GUI. As the current location of the device changes, the list is dynamically changed in real time by reordering display of the user-selectable graphical tiles displayed on the graphical user interface so that a closest one of the physical entities is displayed topmost in the top-to-bottom order. A points balance associated with a user of the electronic computing device is displayed. A window is displayed in response to triggering events. The user can select one of the tiles, or the device can come within a minimum threshold distance. In response to a selection or user input, an exchange value is received from an external computer server corresponding to a number of points.

  • Publication number: 20150350826
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for facilitating wireless actions using a portable electronic device. A method of executing a software application on a portable electronic device includes: determining, via the portable electronic device, a location of the device; displaying, via the portable electronic device's display, plural user-selectable options within a predetermined proximity of the device's location; receiving, via a user input device, a selection corresponding to at least one of the user-selectable options; displaying, via the display device, an indication of server stored points accumulated by the user with the third-party computer system; displaying, via the display device, an exchange number for the server stored points for making a purchase associated with the selected option; and, responsive to a purchase request received via the user input device, authorizing deduction of the exchange value from the balance of the server stored points and providing confirmation of the purchase.
