  • Patent number: 12657570
    Abstract: A system and methods for dynamic-link initiated user engagement and retention utilizing generative artificial intelligence. The system integrates a generalized generative AI, personalized to each user's context, generating pre-filled message to be displayed within a messaging application on a mobile device. It utilizes user profiles, interaction history, and deep link context to dynamically generate contextually relevant pre-filled messages. The system may employ an LSTM-based model with attention mechanisms for both timing and content prediction. It interfaces with the messaging app through an API, extracting deep link context and triggering AI-generated suggestions. This enables seamless, personalized follow-up messages accompanying deep links, fostering customer engagement and retention by providing timely and valuable interactions. Continuous monitoring and model updates ensure optimal performance and alignment with user preferences, ultimately enhancing user experience and long-term app engagement.

  • Publication number: 20260112182
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for interactive logo recognition and user engagement using mobile devices. The system may detect logos in real-time using a mobile device's camera and a deep learning-based object detection model. Upon logo detection, a deeplink may be retrieved, activating a messaging application and prepopulating a ready-to-send message to a server. The server may generate a personalized response using natural language processing, including selectable action elements. Users can interact with elements, triggering associated actions and engaging with the brand. The invention combines computer vision, augmented reality, and mobile technologies to create intuitive user experience.

  • Patent number: 12561666
    Abstract: A system and method for a dynamic-link verification process between an electronic device and a transaction or event. The first step is engagement by a mobile electronic device with an initiator that is linked with a specific verification event that triggers a text message to auto-populate on a mobile electronic device. The message comprising metadata about the user and the event or transaction. The second step is for the electronic device to send the auto-populated message to a message gateway thus initiating the verification of the user. The message gateway works with a management service and one or more databases to verify the identity and other aspects of the user based on instructions provided by the event host. Additionally, configurable access tokens may be generated for each verified user wherein the access tokens provide access to an event or controlled physical location based on the configuration.

  • Patent number: 12462278
    Abstract: A system and method for text message-based lead generation is disclosed. A computing device generates and transmits a passive call-to-action comprising a uniform resource locator configured to prepopulate a ready-to-send text message comprising a payload. Upon receipt of a text message substantially corresponding to the payload, device-specific data is used to match the mobile device to a specific end user. The end user is added to a database if not present, and a consumer profile for the end user is obtained and used to generate a response to be sent to the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 12462270
    Abstract: A system and method for soft credit approval using text redirect. The first step is engagement by a user computing device, such as a mobile phone, with a call-to-action element that may be embedded in various media including a QR code or NFC-enabled beacon and that triggers a text message to auto-populate on the user computing device. The auto-populated message comprises a unique identifier and consumer financial information. The second step is for the user to tap to send the auto-populated message to a credit analysis manager, which evaluates the consumer financial information according to the lender's lending criteria and instructions. Optionally, the system may integrate with a universal identification and passport manager, send pre-qualified credit offers to the consumer, and send an automatically completed credit application to the lender upon consumer approval.

  • Publication number: 20250278754
    Abstract: A system and method for multi-channel dynamic advertisement testing. The system comprises a multi-platform adaptive ad campaign manager, a dynamic advertisement engine, a campaign database, and an omnichannel text-based communicator. The system receives customer interactions with two advertisement test variants, establishes a real-time media stream between a customer device and a second user device, and monitors the media stream to collect data related to effectiveness of the advertisement variants. The system may analyze media stream data together with a plurality of other data types to statistically determine which of the two advertisement variants resulted in better performance based on a variety of advertisement metrics. The system may use the plurality of data and the statistical analysis to suggest an advertisement element to be altered in the next round of advertisement variant testing. This system can combine data collection and analytics for an ad campaign together into one system.
