Abstract: A system may include a chatbot communications server executing a given chatbot conversation associated with a given retailer from among retailers. The system may also include a remote device associated with a given user, and a promotions processing server. The promotions processing server may be configured to store digital promotions for the retailers, and communicate at least one digital promotion corresponding to the given retailer to the chatbot communications server. The chatbot communications server may be configured to insert the at least one digital promotion into the given chatbot conversation to be displayed on the remote device. The chatbot conversation may permit the given user to clip at least one selected digital promotion, and add a product for purchase corresponding to the at least one selected digital promotion to a virtual shopping cart.

Abstract: A promotion processing system may include a remote device and a promotion server. The promotion server may be configured to generate a promotion within a social media feed. The promotion may be associated with a given product brand. The promotion server may be configured to operate a chatbot conversation on the remote device corresponding to the promotion. The chatbot may be operated to determine a recommended product within the given product brand, validate a purchase of the recommended product, and permit redemption of the promotion based upon validation of the purchase.

Abstract: A system for processing a digital promotion may include a mobile device associated with a user. The system may also include a digital promotion server configured to cooperate with the mobile device to determine a geographic location. The digital promotion server may determine potential redemption locations based upon the geographic location and cooperate with the mobile device to display thereon the potential redemption locations and cooperate with the mobile device to prompt the user to determine a selected redemption location from among the potential redemption locations. Based upon determining the selected redemption location, the digital promotion server may generate a digital promotion for redemption at the selected redemption location and communicate the digital promotion to the mobile device, and generate a user identifier associated with the user and the digital promotion and communicate the user identifier to the selected redemption location for redemption of the digital promotion.

Abstract: A system for processing a digital promotion may include user devices and a geolocation beacon at a redemption location. The system may also include a digital promotion server to detect presence of a given user device at the redemption location based upon communication with the geolocation beacon. The digital promotion server may also operate a messenger bot to collect information and communicate a digital promotion for a product to the given user device based upon the collected information and the detection of presence of the given user device at the redemption location, and obtain an amount due from the redemption location and associated with the given user device. The digital promotion server may also communicate to the redemption location authorization for payment of the amount due based upon the detection of presence of the given user device at the redemption location and based upon the collected information.

Abstract: A promotion processing system may include user devices that may include a mobile device to acquire an image of a given product having a brand associated therewith. The system may include a promotion processing server to obtain the acquired image of the given product from the mobile wireless device, and use image recognition to determine the brand associated with the given product based upon the acquired image. The server may also operate a chatbot with the user devices. The chatbot may include a social media wall having user-obtained images of different products, and each different product may be associated with the brand. The server may add the acquired image to the social media wall and solicit voting, within the chatbot and from the user devices, for a favored image on the social media wall, and determine and communicate a reward value to the mobile device based upon the voting.

Abstract: A system for processing a digital promotion may include a mobile wireless communications device associated with a user and configured to operate a ride-sharing application and a digital promotion server. The digital promotion server may be configured to determine a geographic destination of the user based upon the ride-sharing application and generate a digital promotion for redemption at a redemption location associated with the geographic destination and communicate the digital promotion to the mobile wireless communications device. The digital promotions server may also be configured to cooperate with the mobile wireless communications device to prompt the user to accept the digital promotion, and upon acceptance, generate a user identifier associated with the user and the digital promotion and communicate the user identifier to the redemption location for redemption of the digital promotion.

Abstract: A system for processing a digital promotion may include a mobile wireless communications device and a digital promotion server. The digital promotion server may be configured to operate a messenger bot to communicate a digital promotion for a given product to the mobile wireless communications device. The digital promotion may be redeemable at a redemption location. The digital promotion server may be configured to obtain an image of a guest check associated with a purchase transaction at the redemption location, and determine whether the given product is indicated on the image of the guest check, and when so, cooperate with the redemption location to redeem the digital promotion for the given product during the purchase transaction.

Abstract: A system for processing a digital promotion may include a mobile device associated with a given user and a digital promotion server. The server may operate a messenger bot associated with a first digital promotion for a product. The first digital promotion may be redeemable at a redemption location. The server may collect information from the messenger bot and communicate the first digital promotion through the messenger bot to the mobile device based upon the collected information. The server may also permit redemption of the first digital promotion at the redemption location and obtain an identification of another product included with the product on a guest check from the redemption location and associated with the given user. A second digital promotion associated with the at least one other product and for redemption at another location other than the redemption location may be determined and communicated to the mobile device.

Abstract: A connection request is received from a debug UI by a middle tier instance through a first predefined computer port. A connection data request is received from the debug UI by the middle tier instance. Connection data for a debug engine is sent from the middle tier instance to the debug UI and provided to the debug engine from the debug UI. The connection data includes a second predefined computer port of the first computing device. An initial packet is received by the middle tier instance from the debug engine through the second predefined computer port. A unique engine identifier is defined for the debug engine by the middle tier instance and an engine connection confirmation is sent from the middle tier instance to the debug UI indicating that a connection with the debug engine has been established and including the unique engine identifier for the debug engine.

Abstract: A computing device identifies and eliminates unneeded computations from an analytic computation. A symmetric matrix includes a row and a column for each of a set of partial derivative equations where each cell includes an indicator of whether or not a direct dependency exists and is updated to include an indicator of whether or not an indirect dependency exists. A solution row is identified from the symmetric matrix that includes a requested partial derivative. A cell is identified of the identified solution row that does not include the indicator that the direct or indirect dependency exists. The column is identified from the symmetric matrix that includes the identified cell. The partial derivative equation associated with the identified column is removed from the defined set of partial derivative equations to reduce a computer processing time to compute a derivative value for the requested partial derivative.
