20090021824 | OPTICAL PATH LENGTH ADJUSTER - An optical path length adjuster enables electro-optical control of a physical path length between two optical elements, suitable for use in the adjustment of an optical path length within three dimensional display devices that generate a virtual image within a defined imaging volume. The adjuster varies an optical path length between an input optical path and an output optical path and includes: a first polarisation switch for selecting a polarisation state for an input beam on the input optical path; first and second beam splitters having at least two possible optical paths of different lengths therebetween, for passing the input beam along a selected one of said at least two possible optical paths according to the selected polarisation state of the input beam and for providing an output beam of light, on said optical output path, that has traveled along the selected optical path. | 01-22-2009 |

20090048884 | MERCHANT BENCHMARKING TOOL - A benchmarking tool generates reports for delivery to a merchant illustrating a performance of the merchant as compared to the performance of the merchant's peers. The performance is illustrated through metrics that algorithmically combine data on transactions of consumers with the merchant or its peers, respectively. The metrics may be further subdivided into consumer groups such as new consumers, consumers that have shopped within the merchant in the past, consumers that no longer shop within the merchant, or consumers that use a commercial account to pay for purchases. The reports may be rendered in a graphical display for use by the merchant. | 02-19-2009 |
20130275186 | Merchant Benchmarking Tool - A benchmarking tool accesses a database comprising a plurality of transaction records, each of the records comprising transaction data on a purchase transaction. A first subset of the transaction records is determined that occur within a predetermined time period and are associated with a first merchant. A second subset of the transaction records is determined that occur within the predetermined time period and are associated with a merchant peer group. The first subset of transaction records are processed to determine a first metric for the first merchant. The second subset of transaction records are processed to determine a second metric for the merchant peer group. The first metric is compared to the second metric to indicate performance of the first merchant relative to performance of the merchant peer group. | 10-17-2013 |

20090159675 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING INTERACTIVE CARDHOLDER REWARDS IMAGE REPLACEMENT - A system for facilitating image management for portable devices is disclosed. The system includes a host configured to maintain information relating to a first portable device and a second portable device and an interface device configured to communicate with the host and the first and second portable devices. The interface device includes control logic configured to: determine whether the first portable device is valid for image synchronization using information provided by the host; and if it is determined that the first portable device is valid for image synchronization, record an image of the first portable device, determine whether the second portable device is valid for image synchronization, and download an image of the first portable device to the second portable device if it is determined that the second portable device is valid for image synchronization. The interface device further includes control logic configured to: determine whether the second portable device is valid for image replacement using information provided by the host, and if it is determined that the second portable device is valid for image replacement, retrieve an image of the first portable device and download the retrieved image to the second portable device. The interface device also includes control logic configured to: determine whether the second portable device includes additional information that is not included in the image of the first portable device, and if it is determined that the second portable device includes the additional information, concatenate the additional information with the image of the first portable device, and download the concatenated additional information and image of the first portable device onto the second portable device. The interface device concatenates the additional information and the image of the first portable device based on a set of conflict resolution rules. | 06-25-2009 |
20100006639 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING LOYALTY PROGRAM INFORMATION ON A PHONE - A system for managing token image replacement is provided. The system includes a remote server, a token acceptance device, such as a personal computer (PC), connected to the remote server, a token, such as a phone, that can be read by the PC, and a token image server. Using application logic and rules, the remote server is able to read the token image on the token and determine if the image on the phone needs to be updated. The remote server forwards a backup token image to the PC which, in turn, writes the backup token image including transaction information to the phone. Once the backup token image is written onto the phone, subsequent interactions with the system would not initiate an update. | 01-14-2010 |

20130304561 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING A USER INCENTIVE PROGRAM USING SMART CARD TECHNOLOGY - Systems and methods for providing a loyalty and rewards system that implements a user incentive program using smart card technology are provided. A loyalty system allows a user to systematically search, identify, store, and redeem electronic coupons and rebates associated with products from a large number of providers and manufactures. The loyalty system also integrates the activities associated with the user incentive program (e.g., coupon collection, storage, and redemption, etc.), with existing payment methods (e.g., charging a credit card, etc.) using smart card technology. Thus, the loyalty system allows the user to obtain savings and otherwise participate in the user incentive program without adding time consuming and tedious processing that is normally associated with coupon and rebate programs. | 11-14-2013 |
