Abstract:

A method of doing business in a retail environment employs a patronage incentive system incorporating a rounding up saving software program which provides a customer making a purchase at a point-of-sale terminal of participating retailers with an option to round up the price of purchase to the nearest dollar (or higher), to credit the difference between the rounded and the retail price to an account once the purchase is made, and to invest the savings into a single predetermined mutual fund. The rounding up program establishes a personal account for each customer, establishes a cumulative account with the single mutual fund, interacts with the customer, and, upon the request of customer, provides the customer with the information regarding his/her account current and/or prospective.

Appl. No.:

13/565968

Inventors:

Stephen P. Hart - Atlanta GA, US
Christopher Geoffrey Webb - Roswell GA, US

International Classification:

G06F 11/30

US Classification:

702188

Abstract:

System and method for monitoring a condition, such as directional orientation, of an object, such as a message sign, and generating an alert if the condition deviates from a predetermined minimum level. An apparatus associated with the object includes at least one sensor that provides initial and subsequent condition data. The apparatus transmits data to a remote monitoring station having a computer that can receive and store data. The computer calculates the difference in value between an initial condition data and subsequently obtained condition data, and compares the difference to a predetermined deviation value. If the difference value is greater than the predetermined deviation value the computer generates an alert. The alert may be displayed as an icon on a displayed map. An alert may be sent to a remote operator requesting correction of the condition, such as reorienting a sign face.
