    摘要: Systems and related methods facilitating payments with a mobile device are discussed herein. Circuitry in a networked-based central system, which may be a promotional system or payment system, may be configured to receive payment information from a consumer device. The consumer device may include circuitry configured to receive wallet identifying data from the central system. The wallet identification data may be used to secure messages between the consumer device and another device, such as a merchant device, over a wireless link. In some embodiments, the consumer device may receive promotional offers, such as deal vouchers or rewards, and make payments to the other device via the wireless link.

    摘要: Techniques for providing proximity based messages are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include one or more servers configured to receive proximity message requests from a consumer device. The requests may include consumer device locations, which may be used by the one or more servers to generate a geofence set. Furthermore, the consumer device location may be used as a basis for selecting notification data relevant to the location. Both the geofence set and the notification data may be sent to the consumer device in a single proximity message response for local notification creation if the notification data can be collected within a maximum response time. The notification data may be provided via a push notification server asynchronously if the notification data cannot be collected within the maximum response time.

    摘要: Provided herein are systems, methods and computer readable media for classification and tagging of textual data. An example method may include accessing a corpus comprising a plurality of documents, each document having one or more labels indicative of services offered by a merchant, generating a query based on extracted features and the documents, generating a precision score for at least a portion of the generated query and selecting a subset of the generated queries based on an assigned precision score satisfying a precision score threshold, the selected subset of the generated queries configured to provide an indication of one or more labels to be applied to machine readable text. A second example method, utilized for tagging machine readable text with unknown labels, may include assigning a label to textual portions of the machine readable text based on results of the application of the queries.

    摘要: Techniques for providing improved optical character recognition (OCR) for receipts are discussed herein. Some embodiments may provide for a system including one or more servers configured to perform receipt image cleanup, logo identification, and text extraction. The image cleanup may include transforming image data of the receipt by using image parameters values that optimize the logo identification, and performing logo identification using a comparison of the image data with training logos associated with merchants. When a merchant is identified, a second image clean up may be performed by using image parameter values optimized for text extraction. A receipt structure may be used to categorize the extracted text. Improved OCR accuracy is also achieved by applying on format rules of the receipt structure to the extracted text.

    摘要: Provided herein are systems, methods and computer readable media for classification of documents using a location hierarchy. An example method may include receiving a feature vector r that represents occurrence counts of references in a document's text to each of a group of named entities, and determining whether the document is associated with the particular location by querying, to determine a query result, using feature vector r, at least one location-specific classifier from a group of location-specific classifiers, wherein the location-specific classifier is associated with the particular location, and wherein the location-specific classifier is configured to generate a positive output value in response to receiving an input feature vector representing occurrence count of at least one reference to the particular named entity and determining that the document is associated with the particular location in an instance in which the query result includes data indicating that the positive output value was generated by the location-specific classifier that is associated with the particular location.

    摘要: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are disclosed for self-service design, scheduling, and delivery of user-defined reports regarding promotions. The method includes receiving, from a user device, a report type and report delivery information. Based on the report type, relevant data regarding the one or more promotions is collected, using which a report is generated. The method then outputs the generated report based on the report delivery information. Optionally, analytical insights, such as trends within the data, sample size, suitability of control data, and indications of statistical significance, are generated and included in the report. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.

    摘要: Systems, apparatus, methods, and non-transitory media for providing point-of-sale functionality are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include a system including a merchant device and a consumer facing device. The merchant device may include a merchant display device configured to present interactive displays of a merchant facing interface configured to be used by merchants. The consumer facing device may be configured to present interactive displays of a consumer facing interface configured to be used by consumers. The point-of-sale system may be configured to facilitate financial transactions and other forms of consumer service. For example, merchant inputs provided via the merchant facing interface (e.g., entered menu items) may be shown on the consumer facing interface. In another example, consumer inputs provided via the consumer facing interface be sent to the merchant device and/or otherwise used by the merchant device to facilitate a financial transaction, among other things.
