  • Patent number: 10089664
    Abstract: Aspects and examples are disclosed for facilitating and signaling market transactions between providers of products or services and clients that consume or otherwise use the products and services. In one example, a processing device of a server system receives, via a data network, data from a computing system describing attributes of a client that uses the computing system. The processing device can verify at least some of the received data to generate a client profile for the client. Based on verifying the data in the client profile, the processing device can notify one or more providers of a product or service that the client is interested in the product or service. Notifications to providers of the product or service can maintain the anonymity of the client. Notifications to the providers can also identify a client type, the client's propensity to purchase or access certain products or services, etc.
