Patent number: 11710146Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for providing promotion sharing between consumers are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include a system including circuitry configured to generate an incentive token for a promotion of a merchant. The incentive token may be associated with a first consumer account and provided to a first consumer device associated with the first consumer account for sharing with other consumers. Upon receiving the incentive token form a second consumer device associated with a second consumer account, the circuitry may be configured to enable the second consumer account to receive an incentive value of the incentive token if various conditions are satisfied. For example, the second consumer may be asked to purchase the promotion, create a new consumer account, or the like.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2021Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: GROUPON, INC.Inventors: Injae Lee, Selvam Velmurugan, Vinayak Hegde

Publication number: 20220284465Abstract: Methods, apparatus and computer program products are provided for providing real time incentives during browsing sessions on a promotional system. The real time incentives may convert browsing consumers to buyers by providing incentives (e.g., discounts) that may be redeemed during the browsing sessions. Qualification constraints may be evaluated using an event handler to determine whether an incentive should be offered. Participation constraints may define terms which should be met for a consumer to redeem the incentive.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2022Publication date: September 8, 2022Inventors: Michael Merz, Kevin Jungmeisteris, Brandon Arp, Selvam Velmurugan, Abhishek Prasad

Patent number: 10469327Abstract: A first resource and a second resource are identified from configuration data of a computing environment. A model that represents the first resource associated with a first weight, the second resource associated with a second weight, and a communication path between the first resource and the second resource is generated. As a result of receiving a command to perform against the first resource, a determination that the second resource would be impacted by performance of the command is made based at least in part on the communication path, a score that represents an impact of the command in the computing environment is calculated based at least in part on the first weight and the second weight, and an action determined based at least in part on the score is performed.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2017Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Vulcan Inc.Inventor: Selvam Velmurugan
