    摘要: Methods and systems herein receive a selection of at least one variable data printing (VDP) pattern from a first user to compose an initial sample design. The methods receive image, text, and graphics into the initial sample design from the first user and the user tags such image, text and graphics with VDP pattern elements. The processes of receiving the image, text, and graphics and tagging alter the initial sample design into the tagged sample design. Further, the methods and systems can automatically convert the tagged sample design into at least one different format file. The methods and systems can automatically provide the different format file to at least one second user. Additionally, the second user can include data components into the different format file to support the composition of a targeted marketing campaign sample.

    摘要: An improved automated planning method and system includes the use of an automated planner for generating a plan template and a final plan generator to produce a fully parameterized workflow plan. Such an approach provides for the generation of fully parameterized workflow plans utilized in rendering environments. A plurality of device capability descriptions can be converted into a data indicative of facts and operators for use with an automated planner, which can be either domain-independent or domain-dependent. Next, a formal product description can be converted into properties indicative of a goal state. The goal state and the data indicative of facts and operators can then be utilized with the automated planner to synthesize a plan template. The plan template is then provided to a final plan generator, along with a formal product description, to produce a fully parameterized workflow plan.

    摘要: As set forth herein, computer-implemented methods and systems facilitate providing an approach for using defined patterns of variable-data campaigns to enable a marketing service provider to express a non-expert user's desired campaign intent, using natural language and campaign intent terms, as well as to accurately capture the non-expert user's intent by communicating using non-technical campaign terminology. Communication of semantically robust campaign intent to variable-data campaign graphic designers and developers is facilitated by the described systems and methods, as is automated creation of a variable-data logic (plan) file based on semantic campaign intent. The described systems and methods facilitate the creation of variable data publishing (VDP) marketing campaigns by the non-expert, including verification and validation of the variable-data logic.

    摘要: Systems and methods identify a current location of a user based on a known location of an electronic device including kiosk, beacon, or location-aware camera when the user interacts with the electronic device. The systems and methods automatically create a user status data file based on the known location. The user status data file contains data identifying that the user is currently at the known location and other data captured about the event or venue at that location. The systems and methods automatically upload the user status data file to a personal storage account which can then be used to post to a social networking web site associated with the user as an activity post associated with the user.

    摘要: Apparatus are provided that includes a data communications device configured to communicate one or more offers regarding a product or service to one or more target recipients. A data segmentation engine is configured to communicate with the data communication device and to process data regarding the target recipients interaction with the one or more offers. The data segmentation engine is configured to tag the target recipients with data associated with the offer and with data regarding the target recipients interaction with the offer. A graphing engine is configured to create one or more semantic representations of behavior of the one or more target recipients, and the resulting semantic representations can include information tagged to each target recipient by the data segmentation engine. The semantic representations are used to determine which set of target recipients will be communicated with subsequent semantically-related offers.
