Abstract:
A method includes identifying images associated with a user, where the image is identified as at least one of captured by a user device associated with the user, stored on the user device associated with the user, and stored in cloud storage associated with the user. The method also includes for each of the images, determining one or more labels, wherein the one or more labels are based on at least one of metadata and a primary annotation. The method also includes generating a mapping of the one or more labels to one or more confidence scores, wherein the one or more confidence scores indicate an extent to which the one or more labels apply to corresponding images. The method also includes interacting with the user to obtain identifying information that is used to categorize one or more of the images.

Using identifiers on user payment instruments to identify user loyalty accounts comprises a method to store a loyalty account list associated with a user, the loyalty account list comprising one or more user loyalty accounts; associate an identifier with the loyalty account list; receive information identifying a user loyalty account associated with a merchant, the information comprising an account number for the user loyalty account and an identity of the merchant; associate the user loyalty account with the loyalty account list; receive a request for information identifying a user loyalty account associated with a merchant, the request comprising the identifier received by the merchant from a user payment instrument and an identity of the merchant; determine the user loyalty account associated with the merchant; and provide the information identifying a user loyalty account associated with a merchant.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus for allocating an offer based, in part, on a user's utility. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, at a data processing apparatus, data describing a purchase intent for a set of items, the purchase intent being for a user; receiving, at the data processing apparatus, from each offeror in a set of offerors: a corresponding offer from the offeror, each offer applying to one or more items in the set of items, and a corresponding valuation of the offer by the offeror for presentation of the offer to the user; for each offer in the set of offers, determining, by the data processing apparatus, a corresponding utility to the user based on a user utility model, and adjusting the valuation for the offer based on the corresponding utility determined for the offer to generate an adjusted valuation for the offer.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, for associating actions with events that are determined independent of the action type of the action. A system receives, from a user device, identification of an action to be taken, the action being one of a plurality of action types, and an identification of a first event that is determined independent of the action type and for which the occurrence of the first event may be determined by the system. They system associates the action and the first event with instructions for determining if the first event has occurred, and then determines whether the first event has occurred. In response to determining that the first event has occurred, the system causes the action to occur.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, for providing notifications based on third party data. In an aspect, a method includes receiving data responsive to a selection of an action trigger prompt at a user device, wherein: the action trigger prompt is rendered at the user device with a resource and displayed with the resource in an initial state, and upon selection of the action trigger prompt the user device displays an action trigger menu that facilitates the input of a plurality of parameter values for an event; and the received data specifies a user defined event and an action associated with the user defined event and to be taken in response to the occurrence of the user defined event; and storing the data specifying the user defined event and the action to be take in response to the occurrence of the user defined event in an action trigger data store.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, for detour based content selection. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, at a data processing apparatus, location data for a plurality of users, the location data describing, for each user, locations of a user device of the user; determining, from the location data, route data for the plurality of users, the route data describing, for each user, a route traveled by the user; determining, by the data processing apparatus, for at least one or more of the users, a detour from the route traveled by the user to a retail location of the offeror; determining, by the data processing apparatus, for each of the at least one or more of the users, whether the user is eligible for an offer of the offeror based on the detour; and for each user eligible for an offer, enabling the offeror to provide an offer to the user.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for list accumulation and reminder triggering. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, at a data processing apparatus, a first input comprising a plurality of terms; determining, by the data processing apparatus, that one or more of the terms in the first input specify an item that belongs to a reminder category, the reminder category being associated with a collection of items that belong to the category and for which reminders may be generated; and in response to the determination, storing data that associates a reminder type with the item specified by the one or more terms.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for identifying an entity associated with a wireless network access point are provided. An estimated location of a wireless network access point and a network name associated with a wireless network access point can be accessed. The network name can be analyzed to identify at least one text signal. An entity associated with the wireless network access point can be identified based at least in part on the text signal. For instance, a confidence score for a plurality of candidate entities identified using the estimated location of the wireless network access point can be determined based on the text signal. The confidence score can be used to identify the entity associated with the wireless network access point. Information associated with the entity can be presented in a graphical user interface.
Abstract:
Using identifiers on user payment instruments to identify user loyalty accounts comprises a method to store a loyalty account list associated with a user, the loyalty account list comprising one or more user loyalty accounts; associate an identifier with the loyalty account list; receive information identifying a user loyalty account associated with a merchant, the information comprising an account number for the user loyalty account and an identity of the merchant; associate the user loyalty account with the loyalty account list; receive a request for information identifying a user loyalty account associated with a merchant, the request comprising the identifier received by the merchant from a user payment instrument and an identity of the merchant; determine the user loyalty account associated with the merchant; and provide the information identifying a user loyalty account associated with a merchant.
