  • Publication number: 20260073419
    Abstract: A method of controlling incentives includes receiving, from a first account, a first task and an associated incentive for the first task; receiving, over a period of time, time-stamped geolocation data corresponding to the geolocation of a user device associated with a second account, the second account linked to the first account; comparing the time-stamped geolocation data to a stored geolocation pattern associated with the first task; determining, a completion of the first task by confirming, based on the comparison, that the time-stamped geolocation data corresponds to the stored geolocation pattern; and, implementing, an action corresponding to the associated incentive based on determining the completion of the first task.

  • Patent number: 12518293
    Abstract: A method of using native events to control incentives includes creating, by a processing circuit, a master account and a subordinate account linked to the master account; receiving, by the processing circuit and from the master account, a first task and an associated incentive for the first task; detecting, by the processing circuit, a native event regarding the first task by receiving geolocation data of a user device associated with the subordinate account; determining, by the processing circuit, a completion of the first task by comparing the geolocation data to a location associated with the first task to detect the native event; and implementing, by the processing circuit, an action corresponding to the associated incentive based on detecting the completion of the first task.

  • Publication number: 20250265568
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system of providing a management system for digital platforms are disclosed. The method includes creating a master account associated with a first user; providing a management graphical user interface (GUI) to a user device; creating a subordinate account associated with a second user in response to a first user input via the management GUI; establishing one or more spending rules for the subordinate account in response to a second user input via the management GUI; providing a subordinate GUI; generating a subordinate payment token for a payment account associated with the master account; receiving, from a computing system, a request to approve a first in-app purchase (IAP), the request indicating receipt of the subordinate payment token; retrieving the spending rules for the subordinate account; and approving the first IAP from the subordinate account based on the first IAP satisfying the spending rules.

  • Patent number: 12314931
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system of providing a management system for digital platforms are disclosed. The method includes: creating, in response to receiving an indication to enroll in a management platform, a master account, the master account having master login credentials associated therewith; providing a management graphical user interface (GUI) to a user device in response to a login using the master login credentials; creating a subordinate account in response to a first user selection via the management GUI, the subordinate account having subordinate login credentials associated therewith; establishing one or more funding rules for the subordinate account; establishing one or more spending rules for the subordinate account; approving a first in-app purchase (IAP) from the subordinate account; and, providing a dashboard via the management GUI, the dashboard comprising a ledger of transactions, the ledger of transactions comprising the first IAP.

  • Patent number: 11922445
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system of using native and non-native events to control incentives in a computing environment is provided. A method includes: creating, by a processing circuit, a master account; creating, by the processing circuit, a subordinate account linked to the master account; receiving, by the processing circuit and from the master account, a first task and an associated incentive for the first task; detecting, by the processing circuit, a native or non-native event regarding the first task; and, implementing, by the processing circuit, an action corresponding to the associated incentive based on detecting the native or non-event regarding the first task. Detecting the native event includes receiving a message directly from a device linked to the processing circuit. Detecting a non-native event includes receiving an indication from a user device associated with the subordinate account.
