Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are provided herein to provide simultaneous delivery of output communications to a client device and a secondary client device are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include an apparatus including processing circuitry configured to: receive one or more electronic communications; configure the one or more electronic communications for presentation to the client device and the secondary client device based on the delivery identifier; and provide the one or more electronic communications to the client device via a wide area network to facilitate simultaneous delivery of the one or more output communications corresponding to the one or more electronic communications on the client device and the secondary client device. The one or more output communications may be provided to the secondary client device via the client device and a personal area network that is separate from the wide area network.

Abstract: A system can determine that a mobile device, located at a physical place of business transmits a first electronic communication for redemption of an electronic offer at the physical place of business. The system can further detect a second electronic communication transmitted from the mobile device, which indicates a first identifier. The first identifier can be associated with a verifier of the electronic offer (e.g., a staff member) at the physical place of business. The system can further determine, based on analysis of the first identifier, a second identifier (e.g., contact data, a telephone number, etc.), that corresponds to the verifier, without providing the second identifier to the mobile device. The system can further electronically transmit, utilizing the second identifier, a third electronic communication that indicates information about the redemption of the electronic offer.

Abstract: Systems and related methods facilitating interactions between a merchant device, a central system and a consumer device are discussed herein. Wallet identifying data may be used to secure messages between the consumer device and the merchant device over a wireless link. For example, the merchant device may include circuitry configured to wirelessly receive the wallet identifying data from a consumer device and to transmit the wallet identifying data to the central system. In response, consumer identifying data associated with the wallet identifying data may be received by the merchant device from the central system. In some embodiments, the consumer identifying data may be associated with a unit of location, such as a dine-in location at a restaurant, to facilitate consumer service.

Abstract: A number of promotions that share a common attribute may be grouped into a common promotion collection. A promotion collection may then be analyzed to determine a score for the promotion collection. A number of promotion collections may be compared against each other based on a respective score for each promotion collection, and a number of promotion collections may be selected based on the comparison.

Abstract: Various methods are provided for determining and displaying local content. One example method may comprise receiving input, at an interface of a global positioning system (GPS) enabled mobile device, to open a mobile application, and without any additional input, accessing a location service of the GPS enabled mobile device to determine a GPS location and a current time and automatically generating a query, identifying local content from a content index in accordance with an editing target, and upon determination that the number of articles specified by the editing target has not been met, climbing, by an editing algorithm, a place hierarchy to determine a larger geographic area in which to meet the editing target, the larger geographic area containing the location, and displaying the results, via an interface, on the GPS enabled mobile device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products for classifying merchants. In one embodiment a method is provided comprising determining, based on a first value, a first prediction value that indicates a programmatically expected number of consumers that will request termination of an accepted first promotion; and determining, based on the first prediction value, a classification for the first entity, the classification specifying a likelihood that the transmittal of the first promotion to consumers will result in a number of terminations less than a pre-specified threshold.

Abstract: Various systems, apparatuses, and methods are described herein for enabling secure communication protocols for proximity-based validation in distributed multi-device frameworks. Distributed multi-device frameworks present unique challenges when it comes to ensuring that user communications between various devices and over variable-security communication mediums remain secure. To address the noted challenges, some embodiments of the present invention provide for an apparatus configured to establish secure communications with a central system using wallet identifying data that is configured to secure data transfers between the apparatus and the central system. In accordance with some embodiments, devices communicating on proposed networks are arranged in a manner and using a network architecture that is configured to optimize overall network security and system integrity.

Abstract: A method includes receiving wireless signals from consumer devices that are in communicable range of the merchant device. The wireless signals each include a unique identifier associated with one of the consumer devices. The method further comprises generating signal strength data that includes one signal strength value associated with the unique identifier of each of the wireless signals, storing the signal strength data in a data storage device, analyzing the signal strength data to determine how many of the consumer devices achieved various signal strength levels, determining a threshold signal strength value based on the analysis, determining a consumer device is present within a physical area when a subsequent wireless signal from a subsequent consumer device is greater than the threshold signal strength value.
