Abstract: A system or method is provided to generate and display incentives or promotions for a group. In particular, the incentives or promotions may be generated based on the combined preferences of the individuals in the group. Further, activities or transactions participated together as a group may be used to infer incentives or promotions for the group. Individuals may be identified or detected as a group based on social networks or contact lists. Further, the group may be identified or detected by detecting the proximity of each other's mobile devices via Near Field Communication (NFC), such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). A shopping display may be installed at a shopping venue to provide directions and/or suggestions to consumers. The shopping display may detect that a group of associated consumers are viewing the shopping display and may generate and display promotions or incentives tailored to the group.

Abstract: Systems and methods for estimating event start times include monitoring a plurality of customer devices that are located at a venue at which an event is occurring. When a media generation action is detected as having been performed within a time period on a subset of the plurality of customer devices, it is determined whether the subset of the plurality of customer devices that has performed the media generation action exceeds a minimum number of customer devices. If so, it is determined that a sub-event that is included in the event has started at a sub-event start time. Sub-event start times for a sub-event that is included in the event may be collected across a plurality of different occurrences of the event and used to estimate a sub-event start time for that sub-event for any subsequent occurrence of the event.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a service experience score at a merchant physical location include a system provider device that determines, through communication at least one of a plurality of beacon devices located at the merchant physical location and a user device, a start of a user service experience. The system provider device also determines, through the at least one of the plurality of beacon devices and the user device, an end of the user service experience. A service experience score that is based at least partly on the start of the user service experience and the end of the user service experience is generated. The service experience score is stored in a database in association with a merchant that is associated with the merchant physical location. Subsets of the service experience score may be associated with different locations of the merchant physical location.

Abstract: A method of event monitoring includes identifying a monitored event that produces a physical phenomenon that is observable and identifiable. The method includes identifying a particular input that is representative of the physical phenomenon and that suggests an occurrence of the monitored event. The method includes communicating, from the first computing device, to a second computing device that includes a sensor at least a portion of the particular input that is used for recognition of the monitored event in an environment of the second computing device by the sensor. The method includes receiving, at the first computing device from the second computing device, an event message that indicates the particular input is observed by the sensor. In response to reception of the event message, the method includes generating an alarm message that indicates the occurrence of the monitored event is observed in the environment of the second computing device.

Abstract: Techniques for locating and identifying mobile devices are described. According to various embodiments, an ambient sound signal may be detected using a microphone of a mobile device. Thereafter, it may be determined that the ambient sound signal corresponds to a predefined user query for assistance in locating the mobile device. A predefined response sound corresponding to the predefined user query may then be emitted, using a speaker of the mobile device. Additionally, user identification information may be displayed on a screen in response to detecting contact with the mobile device using at least one of an accelerometer and a gyroscope.

Abstract: Techniques for providing a virtual item shopping environment are presented herein. Live video of a person walking past a display is captured using a camera. One or more items are selected from a database automatically by determining an item available for sale and selecting the item without intervention from the person. One or more data records representing one or more respective items are retrieved from a database. The items are presented on a display based on the data records representing the respective items. Presentation is performed by presenting live real-time video of the person walking past the display with an overlaid view of the item available for sale to provide an unrequested view of the item available for sale.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating inferred reviews of service providers based on user behavior data for one or more users. The user behavior data used to generate the inferred reviews information representing a number of visits to the service provider. Additional or alternative user behavior data that may be used includes information that represents how far a user travels to a service provider, how many similar service providers the user passes on the way to the service provider, a typical time for services at the service provider, or a length of time the user has been a customer or attendees of the service provider. A service provider may include a merchant, a hotel, a physician, a contractor, another service provider that provides goods or services for a cost or may include non-profit service providers, charity-based service providers or public locations such s parks, rest stops, or other locations.

Abstract: Example methods and systems are directed to adapting legacy endpoints to modern application protocol interfaces (APIs). A legacy endpoint may provide a powerful and complex API. A modern application may desire access to the legacy endpoint. One or more layers may be added between the modern application and the legacy endpoint. Each layer may provide a different API. These layers of APIs may transform the interface from a powerful and complex interface to a more limited but simpler and easier to use interface, in some example embodiments, a proxy layer, an adapter layer, a facade layer, and a service layer may be used.
