  • Patent number: 10769653
    Abstract: A data processor implemented method for gamification of activity tracking to determine a reward is provided. The method includes obtaining activity tracking information from one or more activity tracking sensors, and comparing one or more associated activity tracking target with the obtained activity tracking information to generate an activity tracking level. The method also includes assessing the activity tracking level for determination of the reward, and interfacing with a payment gateway to make payment to an entity associated with the reward, wherein an amount of the payment is dependent on the reward.

  • Patent number: 10380670
    Abstract: System and method for facilitating user identification of a product. The system includes: a receiver unit configured to receive a signal; a memory module in communication with the receiver unit, the memory module having stored thereon product data that is stored in association with a transmittable product identity, wherein the receiver unit is further configured to (i) convert the received signal into its corresponding transmittable product identity and (ii) retrieve the product data from the memory module based on a comparison between the stored transmittable product identity and the converted transmittable product identity; and an output unit configured to output the retrieved product data to a user for facilitating user identification of the product.

  • Publication number: 20170120106
    Abstract: A data processor implemented method for authenticating use of an activity tracking device by a user is provided. The method includes obtaining a plurality of first markers, wherein each of the first markers includes a location and time-stamp of the activity tracking device when the activity tracking device is tracking at least one parameter of the user. The method also includes obtaining a plurality of second markers from a transaction data storage, wherein each of the second markers includes a location and time-stamp of an electronic transaction made by the user using at least one payment device of the user. The method further includes comparing the locations of the plurality of first markers with the locations of the plurality of second markers, and determining, based on the comparison, whether the activity tracking device is regularly in use by the user.

  • Publication number: 20170091802
    Abstract: A method for transmitting data indicative of selected value added services includes: retrieving, from issuer servers, data indicative of value added services, offered by the issuer servers, for storage at the offer distribution server as value added services data; receiving, from a mobile terminal, wallet data providing an indication of payment cards stored in the mobile terminal; processing, at the offer distribution server, the wallet data against the value added services data to determine the value added services accessible through the mobile terminal by ascertaining that the payment cards are recognised by the respective issuer server that offers the value added services; extracting, at the offer distribution server, the selected value added services data for transmission to the mobile terminal in response to consolidation of the value added services accessible through the mobile terminal; and transmitting the selected value added services data to the mobile terminal.
