Patent number: 9646316Abstract: Techniques for universal promotion conditions for offer evaluations are provided. Promotions are comprised of promotion conditions. The conditions are defined as a key value, description, and data type. Defined operators for the data types are enumerated and the key values can be mixed and matched in custom defined conditional statements to expand promotional engines with universal promotion conditions.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2012Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: NCR CorporationInventors: Vincent Robert Koser, George Mark McGregor

Patent number: 9021363Abstract: Systems and techniques for centralized user preference management for electronic decision making devices are provided. A user preference profile is received. A user preference profile manager may transmit a user preference from the user preference profile to a requesting user transaction terminal. the user preference manager may also receive a dynamic user preference from a user preference profile and extend the user preference profile with the dynamic user preference, where the dynamic user preference includes a preference definition and the preference definition includes read and write access controls for the dynamic user preference. Then the user manager may update the user preference profile based on data received from the user transaction terminal.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2010Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: NCR CorporationInventors: Norman Perkins Blake, III, Christopher Lee Collier, George Mark McGregor, Vincent Robert Koser

Patent number: 8832008Abstract: Techniques for real-time offer customer preference learning are presented. Local agents on communication channels are equipped with predefined rules that capture actions and behaviors of customers interacting with an enterprise. The metrics associated with these actions and behaviors are plugged into the rules and in some cases combined with known pre-existing preferences for the customers for purposes of evaluating the rules and creating newly learned preferences for the customers. The newly learned preferences are dynamically fed into offer evaluation processing to determine whether to make offers to the customers.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2011Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: NCR CorporationInventors: Norman Perkins Blake, Vincent Robert Koser
