  • Patent number: 11710146
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230118419
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems, methods and computer readable media for consumer monitor and tracking. An example method may include receiving client device ID and client device profile data, comparing client device ID and client device profile data to a plurality of known client device versions, generating an updated known client device version in an instance in which the client device ID correlates to at least one of the plurality of known client device versions and the client device profile data does not correlate to the at least one of the plurality of known client device versions and generating a new known client device version in an instance in which the client device ID does not correlate to at least one of the plurality of known client device versions.

  • Publication number: 20220284465
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10469327
    Abstract: 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.
