摘要： Embodiments provide computer apparatuses, computer systems and computer-executable methods for recommending a commercial item or entity to a consumer based on geographic zone data. The method includes receiving a first predetermined geographic zone, a first importance score associated with a consumer for the first predetermined geographic zone, and a second importance score associated with a commercial item or entity for the first predetermined geographic zone. The method also includes programmatically generating an overlap score based on the first and second importance scores, and programmatically generating a relevancy score based on the overlap score, the relevancy score indicating a probability that the commercial item or entity is of relevance to the consumer. The method further includes, based on the relevancy score, transmitting instructions to a computing device associated with the consumer to cause the computing device to render a representation of the commercial item or entity.

摘要： Two directional data exchange between a mobile navigation system and a listing system enables pricing models and analytics that are responsive to trips initiated in response to location based listings on the navigation system. The data exchange may include information to present the listing to the user, track whether the user elected to begin navigating to the destination based on that listing, intermediate status as the user progresses towards the destination, and an indication that the user arrived at the location. The data may be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the listing in bringing customers to a physical location associated with the listing. The data may be applied in a performance-based pricing model by which pricing for the listing is based in full or in part on the number of trips initiated and/or completed as a result of the listing.

摘要： Systems and related methods facilitating payments with a mobile device are discussed herein. Circuitry in a networked-based payment system may be configured to receive payment information from a first device. The first device may include circuitry configured to wirelessly receive wallet identifying data from the payment system. The wallet identifying data may be used to secure messages between the first device and another device over a wireless link. For example, the first device may be configured to send the wallet identifying data to a second device, which may then communicate with the payment system. In response, consumer identifying data associated with the wallet identifying data may be received by the second device from the payment system. In some embodiments, use of wallet identifying data may be applied to other communications, such as for messages that authorize payment.

摘要： A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for identifying a service need via a promotional system, and offering the service need to a third party. Promotions may be offered via a promotional system for a consumer to purchase in exchange for a discounted product or service from a provider. Demand information, which may be collected based on promotions and/or other sources. A residual demand may be calculated based on the demand information and available inventory. The residual demand may be utilized to identify a service need. The service need may be identified in a geographic area having a similar demographic to a geographic area having an associated successful promotion. A service need may be provided to a third party or provider, and may indicate the need for a new business or expansion of a current business.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products for predicting consumer behavior. In one embodiment a method is provided comprising automatically creating a link graph comprising nodes representing webpages, links representing hyperlinks, and weights for each link representing a number of times a hyperlink associated with the respective link redirected the a user devices from a webpage associated with a first node connected to the link to a webpage associated with a second node connected to the link; and determining based on the link graph a programmatically expected path for a particular user, wherein the programmatically expected path identifies, at least, two or more webpages that the particular user is programmatically expected to visit and specifying a programmatically expected order at which the particular user will visit the webpages.

摘要： Techniques are described for providing location-based information and functionality to people and computing devices in various ways. In at least some situations, the techniques include enabling multiple people in a common geographic area to interact in various ways, such as via devices capable of communications (e.g., cellular telephones, computing devices with wired and/or wireless communications capabilities, etc.). In addition, the techniques include enabling the creation and maintenance of location-based virtual groups of users (also referred to as “clouds”), such as for users of mobile and/or fixed-location devices. Such clouds may enable various types of interactions between group members, and may be temporary and/or mobile.
