20100274630ECONOMIC INTELLIGENCE FORECAST - Aspects of the invention provide for the use of transactional data in the forecasting of an index score, such as a financial index that predicts market conditions. Such forecasting may better prepare individuals and entities for depressed economic conditions. A comparison engine may be configured to compare the financial variable of the transactional data and the transactional data's date against an index score of an index on a date to determine the correlation of at least a portion of transactions represented by the transactional data with the index score. A selection engine may be configured to select a portion of transactions that are more correlated to the index than other transactions. An index score may be forecasted with the selected transactions. Additional transactional data may be extracted from one or more physical documents, such as an invoice, a statement, and/or commercial paper.10-28-2010
20100274699ECONOMIC INTELLIGENCE - Aspects of the invention provide for the use of transactional data in the calculation of sub-scores that may be used in an index score. The sub-scores may include an account sub-score, an investment sub-score, and/or a discretionary sub-score. One or more sub-scores that represent an individual, an entity, or an economic sector may be used to create an index. Further aspects relate to calculating novel indices that more accurately represent and/or predict economic conditions.10-28-2010

The method for determining a potential audience for an advertisement may include searching the electronically received demographic data for data that matches a first criterion which is related to the demographic data, searching the electronically received financial transaction data for data that matches a second criterion which is related to the financial transaction data, comparing the data that matches a first criterion with the data that matches the second criterion to determine which of the data matching the first criterion and the data matching the second criterion matches both the first and the second criterion, and compiling the data which matches both the first and the second criterion.08-25-2011
20110213690CARBON FOOTPRINT DETERMINATIONS - Described herein are various apparatuses, methods, and computer program products for providing a carbon-footprint modeling environment that determines a consumer's carbon footprint based on the consumer's acquisition of goods and/or services, as indicated by the consumer's transaction data. For example, the carbon-footprint modeling environment collects the consumer's transaction data for a predefined period of time and identifies transaction data that indicates the consumer's acquisition of goods and/or services that, when produced and/or consumed, result in greenhouse gas emissions. According to some embodiments, the carbon-footprint modeling environment categorizes goods and/or services into, for example, the following categories: transportation, housing, food, waste, and miscellaneous. Based on information gleaned from the consumer's transaction data, the modeling environment may determine the quantities of goods and services the consumer consumed in each of the categories and then apply conversion ratios to convert the respective quantities of goods and/or services consumed into units of greenhouse gas emissions.09-01-2011

20120136807SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FUNDING COMPANIES - A system and method for funding investment seeking companies (ISCs), e.g., startup companies, by a funding company is disclosed. For each of the ISCs, in exchange for private equity therein, the funding company issues a corresponding publicly tradable class of its own stock substantially based on the performance of the ISC. The ISCs are categorized according to characteristics important to investors, e.g., type of technology, revenue, and products or services (to be) offered so that ISCs in a same category compete against one another for funding distributions from the funding company. In particular, income returns on the investments of proceeds from public sales of each class of stock are periodically distributed among competing ISCs according to, e.g., the share prices of their corresponding class of funding company stocks.05-31-2012
