International Classification:

G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705 261

Abstract:

The PRODUCT RECALL PLATFORM APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“PR Platform”) transforms recall initiation request, product identifier and purchase processing request inputs via PR Platform components into recall notification message outputs. In some embodiments, the PR Platform receives a purchase processing request including a plurality of product identifiers and preselects product identifiers that qualify for purchase processing based on at least one purchase processing rule. The PR Platform facilitates querying of a product recall database to determine if the preselected product identifiers match recalled product identifiers in the product recall database. If at least one of the preselected product identifiers match the recalled product identifiers, the PR Platform retrieves a recall message associated with the at least one of the preselected product identifiers and notification preferences associated with the purchase processing request. The PR Platform then generates a recall notification message in accordance with the notification preferences to include the recall message associated with the at least one of the preselected product identifiers.

Abstract:

In one aspect, a system includes a transaction handler to process transactions, a data warehouse to store transaction data recording the transactions processed at the transaction handler, a profile generator to generate a profile of a user based on the transaction data, an advertisement selector to identify an advertisement based on the profile of the user in response to the transaction handler processing a transaction of the user, and a portal coupled to the transaction handler to provide the advertisement for presentation to the user in connection with information about the transaction of the user.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705 141

Abstract:

In one aspect, a computing apparatus is configured to facilitate the identification of a transaction resulting from an activity occurring in a substantially separate context or environment, such as an offline transaction in a “brick and mortar” retail store resulting from an online advertisement or an online search. The computing apparatus may match information about the activity and information about the transaction to correlate the online activity and the offline transaction. The matching process may involve the use of an offer for a discount, an incentive, a rebate, a reward, reward points, cash back, a gift, etc. The offer is to be provided in the advertisement associated with an online activity and redeemed in a payment transaction, processed via the transaction handler, to correlate the advertisement and the transaction.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Nurtekin Savas - San Jose CA, US

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00

US Classification:

705303

Abstract:

Participating merchants send transaction data to a Product Recall Service (PRS). Each such transaction data received by the PRS from a merchant identifies a product purchased, an account holder making the purchase, the merchant from which the product was purchased, and an account issued to the account holder by an issuer upon which the transaction was conducted. When a supplier of the product to the merchant announces a recall of the product to the PRS, the PRS mines previously received transaction data, in conjunction with information obtained from transaction handler in a payment processing system, to send announcements to the account holders who conducted transactions to purchase the recalled product, and optionally to assign one or more globally unique identifiers that characterize and specify the product recall. Each account holder can use a web-enabled device to send information to, and receive information from, the PRS. The PRS communicates information received about the product recall to the supplier.
