20220222695 | CONTENT COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM WITH CONVERSATION-TO-TOPIC MICROTREND MAPPING - An artificial intelligence (AI)-based content communications system leverages microtrends identified from conversations in real-time to support targeted content mapped to the identified microtrends. The communications system receives conversation information of participants, including text of conversation, timestamp, and, optionally, geographical information, from a listening service authorized to capture the conversation information; determines one or more topic microtrends having above-threshold activity; retrieves content with tags having generated keywords associated with a corresponding topic microtrend; and generates a message comprising the content and, optionally, a topic microtrend dashboard to provide to an identified contact associated with the topic microtrend. In some cases, the content is directly pushed to a social media handle associated with the content. | 2022-07-14 |
20220222696 | METHOD FOR PROVIDING INCENTIVE, SERVER, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - A system and a method allow for the provision of an incentive between different applications. A server stores information including, in association, a user identifier, a first identifier, and a second identifier received from a client terminal, and when receiving an incentive request, causes an application server to provide an incentive to the user pertaining to the first identifier corresponding to the second identifier based on the information. | 2022-07-14 |
20220222697 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INCREASING SOCIAL PHONE CALLS BETWEEN THE YOUNG AND ELDERLY - The invention allows people to impose their will on how their friends/family members socialize with one another. Incentives can vary from cash to simply challenging one party to do the right thing. For example, a middle-aged mother wants her daughter to call her grandmother more often. The invention provides a new way the mother can request, incentivize, and validate the phone calls her daughter makes to her grandmother. | 2022-07-14 |
20220222698 | System And Method For Multi-Connection Point Of Sale Terminal For Activity Tracking - The system is configured to monitor and operate a hybrid reward system with a multi-channel point of sale terminal. The system may perform operations including receiving, by a computer based system and via a first connection from a point of sale terminal, reward program information and transaction information in response to a reward program instrument being presented at the point of sale terminal. A transaction authorization request associated with the reward program information may be provided by the point of sale terminal, via a second connection from the point of sale terminal, to a transaction authorization system to authorize a transaction. The transaction may be initiated by a transaction instrument. The reward program instrument is at least one of a transaction instrument and a reward program indicia. | 2022-07-14 |
20220222699 | Modifying Existing Instruments without Modification of Unique Identifier and Immediate Benefit Availability - The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for automatically modifying a financial product associated with a user, where the modified financial product is associated with an updated benefit at a partner system. One example method comprises receiving an indication of acceptance associated with a particular partner-related product for replacing a current product associated with a first customer. At least one term or condition associated with the particular partner-related product different than terms or conditions associated with the at least one current product are identified, including a change to at least one benefit associated with the partner system. The terms associated with the current product are modified without changing the unique identifier, and an indication of the at least one updated benefit associated with the partner system is transmitted to the partner system for immediate usage by the first customer. | 2022-07-14 |
20220222700 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING MALICIOUS SOFTWARE ENGAGING IN ONLINE ADVERTISING FRAUD OR OTHER FORM OF DECEIT - Systems and methods for monitoring malicious software engaging in online advertising fraud or other form of deceit are disclosed herein. An example method includes identifying a communication process used by a compromised computing device to communicate with a control server, the control server providing access to advertising weblinks, the compromised computing device associated with malicious software, directing, by an instruction executed by a processor, the compromised computing device to communicate with an uncompromised computing device by re-routing of packets used for communication between the compromised computing device and the control server, the uncompromised computing device is configured to mimic communications between the compromised computing device and the control server using the communication processes, storing information from one or more packets transmitted from the uncompromised computing device, and creating a profile of the malicious software based on the stored information. | 2022-07-14 |
20220222701 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ELECTRONICALLY DETERMINING ITEM ADVERTISEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS - This application relates to apparatus and methods for automatically determining and providing, for a given anchor item, a ranking of items. The ranking may include sponsored items. In some examples, a computing device receives a request for items for an anchor item. The computing device determines a relevancy of a plurality of recommended items and sponsored items. The computing device also determines a cost value for the sponsored items. The computing device determines ranking values for the plurality of recommended items and sponsored items based on the relevancy values and the cost values, and ranks the items based on the ranking values. In some examples, the computing device updates the final item ranking based on the application of one or more rules. The computing device transmits the final item ranking to a web server. The web server displays advertisements for the items in ranked order. | 2022-07-14 |
