20130143586 | Systems and Methods for Location Sensitive Alerts in a Mobile Communication Network - Systems and methods are provided for providing alerts to users of mobile communications networks based, at least in part, on users' real-time geospatial location at a point in time. Users and third parties set up alerts for themselves or other users that comprise alert details and trigger criteria. Alert details comprise, inter alia, text or other data defining a message to the user to whom the alert is directed. Trigger criteria comprise a geo-fenced area and dates times the alert is active. When the a user enters a geo-fenced area associated with an alert at such date and time the alert is active, the alert is transmitted to the user. | 06-06-2013 |
20130143587 | System and Method for Coordinating Meetings Between Users of a Mobile Communication Network - Systems and methods are provided to coordinate meetings between users of mobile devices on a mobile communications network. Users of the mobile communication network send one another meeting invitations over the network. The system receives the current geospatial position of one or more such users, as well as category selections that relate to attributes of potential meeting locations meetings. The system selects meeting locations for users using the current geospatial positions of the users and the category selections such that meeting locations are located at a geospatial positions between the users. The system can additionally select meeting locations that factor in user preferences and historical activities. | 06-06-2013 |
20130144704 | Telephony Based Reward System - The present disclosure describes a system and method for managing through telephony systems a customer reward system, such as, a spend and get reward system.

Advertisers transmit advertisements, such as directory listings, coupons, offers and promotions to a mobile advertising service. Each advertisement is associated with at least one geospatial location and at least one category. Users of mobile communication networks submit queries, via their mobile devices, to the mobile adverting service for advertisements relevant to the users' current geospatial location and interests. Advertisements meeting query criteria are selected and transmitted to the users' mobile devices. | 06-06-2013 |
20140278056 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ROUTE-SPECIFIC SEARCHING - Systems and methods of route-specific searching are provided. Information about a first location and second location may be processed. The information about the second location may be from a user and may indicate a destination. A first route from the first location to the second location may be identified. A search query may be processed. Search results may be identified, and, a third location corresponding to the search result may be identified. A route from the first location to the third location to the second location may be determined. A deviation of the route with respect to the first route may be determined. A search result may be selected based on the deviation. A map may depict an area including the first location, the second location, and the third location. The route from the first location to the third location to the second location may be indicated. | 09-18-2014 |

Users of the mobile communication network send one another meeting invitations over the network. The system receives the current geospatial position of one or more such users, as well as category selections that relate to attributes of potential meeting locations meetings. The system selects meeting locations for users using the current geospatial positions of the users and the category selections such that meeting locations are located at a geospatial positions between the users. The system can additionally select meeting locations that factor in user preferences and historical activities. | 01-29-2015 |
20150058136 | ATTRIBUTE BASED COUPON PROVISIONING - Techniques for ranking electronic coupons include associating a product category and coupon attributes with a coupon. A coupon request, including request attributes, is received and a product category of the coupon request is determined from a first attribute subset of the request attributes. The coupon is retrieved based on the product category of the request. A second attribute subset of the request attributes is identified that is unique from the first subset, and each attribute in the second subset has a respective coupon attribute. For each attribute in the second subset, a weight is assigned and the attribute is compared to its respective coupon attribute. A relevancy rank is determined for the retrieved coupon based on the weight and the comparison of attributes. If it is determined that the relevancy rank is greater than or equal to a threshold, the coupon is transmitted as a response to the request. | 02-26-2015 |
