Data transmission to a networked resource based on contextual information

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for transmitting data to networked resources based on extracted contextual information from said networked resources. The system gathers contextual data from devices on the network, extracts contextual information from the contextual data, and determines supplemental resources to provide to the networked devices based on the contextual information. The system may further provide an augmented reality environment to a networked device that integrates identifies objects in an image and integrates notifications of supplemental resources in the augmented reality environment.

Description

FIELD

The present invention relates to systems, methods, and computer program products for accessing and extracting context-based data to provide targeted supplemental resources to users in an integrated environment.

BACKGROUND

Sending notifications to uses requires large quantities of data storage and large amounts of processing capacity. When an entity sends targeted notifications to users, there is a greater likelihood that the users actually take an action associated with the notification, and it reduces the amount of data storage and processing capacity required when compared to non-targeted notification. By sending notifications to a subset of users from a plurality of users (excluding other users), an entity reduces the data and storage and processing capacity without affecting the actions taken on such notifications. Therefore, there is a need for a system to more accurately and efficiently provide notifications.

SUMMARY

The following presents a simplified summary of one or more embodiments of the present invention, in order to provide a basic understanding of such embodiments. This summary is not an extensive overview of all contemplated embodiments, and is intended to neither identify key or critical elements of all embodiments nor delineate the scope of any or all embodiments. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts of one or more embodiments of the present invention in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.

Generally, systems, computer products, and methods are described herein for the transmission of resources over a network based on extracted contextual information. More specifically, embodiments of the invention described herein provide an integrated environment to access contextual data to extract contextual information and provide targeted supplemental resources to network device. By targeting resources to networked devices, the invention reduces the overall number of resources that need to be provided to the device and helps to keep user activity confined to the integrated environment.

In one embodiment of the invention the system is configured to identify user information for a user; access contextual data, wherein the contextual data is accessed from user computer systems or entity computer systems; extract contextual information from the accessed contextual data; identify supplemental resources to present to the user based on the user information and the contextual information; transmit a notification of the supplemental resources to the user, wherein the notification includes a request to the user to accept or deny the supplemental resources; receive a user selection to accept the supplemental resources, wherein the user selection is received from the user computer systems; and store the supplemental resources as being associated with the user or a resource pool of the user.

In another embodiment, the system is further configured to create a link with the user computer system; open an augmented reality application on the user computer system, wherein the augmented reality application is configured to: (i) capture image data from an image capture device operatively coupled to the user computer system; identify a plurality of objects in the image data; determine an identity of at least one object from the image data; and identify supplemental resources to present to the user based on the user information and the contextual information, wherein identifying supplemental resources is based on the at least one object from the image data; and indicate on a display of the user computer systems the notification of the supplemental resources with the at least one object.

In another embodiment, the system is further configured to receive the location of the user, wherein the location is received from a location determination device through the user computer systems; determine, based on the location of the user, that the user is proximate to a previous interaction for which the user accepted previous supplemental resources; wherein the notification further includes an indication that the user is proximate to the previous interaction.

In another embodiment, the system is further configured to receive contextual data, wherein the contextual data is an image, and the system is further configured to identify in the image at least one object, wherein the supplemental resources are identified based on the at least one object in the image. The system may also provide notification in such an embodiment by transmitting the image integrated with supplemental resource to the user computer system. In another embodiment, identifying the at least one object comprises employing optical character recognition (OCR) to identify at least one object in the image.

In another embodiment, integrating the notification in the image is integrating an indicator in the image, and wherein the user selects the indicator to view the notification of supplemental resources.

In another embodiment of the invention, the contextual data is an event, wherein the supplemental resources are based on the at least one object in the image. In such embodiments, the system may determine the event from a user calendar, wherein the system accesses the user calendar through the user computer system or an entity system. In such embodiments, the system may further be configured to receive permission from the user to access the social networking account of the user; and identify the event for which the user is interested, wherein the user is tagged for the event or the user has otherwise indicated that the user is going to the event.

In another embodiment of the invention, the system is further configured to receive a request from an interaction entity to process an interaction between the interaction entity and the user, wherein the interaction is a transaction for a product; determine that the transaction for the product or with the interaction entity meets requirements of the supplemental resources that the user previously accepted; allocate resources in a resource pool of the user for the interaction for the product with the interaction entity; apply the supplemental resources to the resource pool of the user after the resources from the resource pool have already been allocated; and wherein the interaction entity is unaware that the user accepted the supplemental resources and that the supplemental resources have been applied to the user's resource pool at a time the supplemental resources are applied.

Embodiments of the invention described in more detail herein provided an integrated environment to access contextual information and provide targeted supplemental resources to a network device. The present invention solve at least the technical problem of limiting the resources sent over the network by providing only targeted resources to specific users on the network based on contextual information extracted from the users' contextual data. Moreover, the integrated environment described herein is designed in such a manner that allows users to user entity resources from a resource pool without the user having to leave the integrated environment. These advantages will be described in greater detail and with reference to the accompanying figures below.

FIG. 1 illustrates a supplemental resource system environment 1, in accordance with embodiments of the invention. As illustrated in FIG. 1, one or more resource entity systems 10 are operatively coupled, via a network 2, to one or more user computer systems 20, one or more interaction entity systems 30, one or more third-party systems 40, and/or one or more other systems (not illustrated). In this way, the user 4 (e.g., one or more associates, employees, agents, contractors, sub-contractors, third-party representatives, customers, or the like), through a user application 27 (e.g., web browser, dedicated or specialized application, or the like), may access resource entity applications 17 (e.g., website, dedicated or specialized application, or the like) of the resource entity systems 10 to receive supplemental resources for interactions with interaction entities.

The network 2 may be a global area network (GAN), such as the Internet, a wide area network (WAN), a local area network (LAN), or any other type of network or combination of networks. The network 2 may provide for wireline, wireless, or a combination of wireline and wireless communication between systems, services, components, and/or devices on the network 2.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the resource entity systems 10 generally comprise one or more communication components 12, one or more processing components 14, and one or more memory components 16. The one or more processing components 14 are operatively coupled to the one or more communication components 12 and the one or more memory components 16. As used herein, the term “processing component” generally includes circuitry used for implementing the communication and/or logic functions of a particular system. For example, a processing component 14 may include a digital signal processor component, a microprocessor component, and various analog-to-digital converters, digital-to-analog converters, and other support circuits and/or combinations of the foregoing. Control and signal processing functions of the system are allocated between these processing components according to their respective capabilities. The one or more processing components 14 may include functionality to operate one or more software programs based on computer-readable instructions 18 thereof, which may be stored in the one or more memory components 16.

The one or more processing components 14 use the one or more communication components 12 to communicate with the network 2 and other components on the network 2, such as, but not limited to, the components of the user computer systems 20, the interaction entity systems 30, third-party systems 40, or other systems. As such, the one or more communication components 12 generally comprise a wireless transceiver, modem, server, electrical connection, electrical circuit, or other component for communicating with other components on the network 2. The one or more communication components 12 may further include an interface that accepts one or more network interface cards, ports for connection of network components, Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectors and the like.

As further illustrated in FIG. 1, the resource entity systems 10 comprise computer-readable instructions 18 stored in the memory component 16, which in one embodiment includes the computer-readable instructions 18 of the resource entity application 17 (e.g., website application, dedicated application, or the like). In some embodiments, the one or more memory components 16 include one or more data stores 19 for storing data related to the resource entity systems 10, including, but not limited to, data created, accessed, and/or used by the resource entity application 17. The resource entity application 17 may be utilized to provide and/or store not only resources for the user 4, but also supplemental resources for the user, and apply such supplemental resources to the interactions of the user 4.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, users 4 may access the resource entity application 17, or other applications, through a user computer system 20. The user computer system 20 may be a desktop, mobile device (e.g., laptop, smartphone device, PDA, tablet, or other mobile device), or any other type of computer that generally comprises one or more communication components 22, one or more processing components 24, and one or more memory components 26.

The one or more processing components 24 are operatively coupled to the one or more communication components 22, the one or more image capture components 25, and the one or more memory components 26. The one or more processing components 24 use the one or more communication components 22 to communicate with the network 2 and other components on the network 2, such as, but not limited to, the resource entity systems 10, the interaction entity systems 30, third-party systems 40, and/or other systems. As such, the one or more communication components 22 generally comprise a wireless transceiver, modem, server, electrical connection, or other component for communicating with other components on the network 2. The one or more communication components 22 may further include an interface that accepts one or more network interface cards, ports for connection of network components, Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectors and the like. Moreover, the one or more communication components 22 may include a keypad, keyboard, touch-screen, touchpad, microphone, mouse, joystick, other pointer component, button, soft key, and/or other input/output component(s) for communicating with the users 4.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the user computer systems 20 may have computer-readable instructions 28 stored in the one or more memory components 26, which in one embodiment includes the computer-readable instructions 28 for user applications 27, such as dedicated applications (e.g., apps, applet, or the like), portions of dedicated applications, a web browser or other apps that allow the user 4 to take various actions, including allowing the user 4 to access applications located on other systems, or the like. In some embodiments, the user 4 utilizes the user applications 27, through the user computer systems 20, to access the resource entity applications 17 to accept supplemental resources. Moreover, in some embodiments the user 4 may also utilize the user applications 27, through the user computer systems 20, to enter into interactions with the interaction entity, through the interaction entity applications 37 and/or interaction entity systems 30.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, one or more interaction entity systems 30 may communicate with the resource entity systems 10 and/or user computer systems 20 to provide supplemental resources to the resource entity and/or to engage in interactions with the user 4. As such, the interaction entity systems 30 are operatively coupled, via a network 2, to the one or more resource entity systems 10, the user computer systems 20, the third party systems 40, and/or other systems. The interaction entity systems 30 generally comprise one or more communication components 32, one or more processing components 34, and one or more memory components 36.

The one or more processing components 34 are operatively coupled to the one or more communication components 32, and the one or more memory components 36. The one or more processing components 34 use the one or more communication components 32 to communicate with the network 2 and other components on the network 2, such as, but not limited to, the components of the resource entity systems 10, the user computer systems 20, the third party systems 40, and/or other systems. As such, the one or more communication components 32 generally comprise a wireless transceiver, modem, server, electrical connection, or other component for communicating with other components on the network 2. The one or more communication components 32 may further include an interface that accepts one or more network interface cards, ports for connection of network components, Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectors and the like.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the interaction entity systems 30 may have computer-readable instructions 38 stored in the one or more memory components 36, which in one embodiment includes the computer-readable instructions 38 of interaction entity applications 37 that allow for the interactions with the user 4 and/or the resource entity regarding supplemental resources, as will be described herein.

Moreover, as illustrated in FIG. 1, third party entity systems 40, and/or other like systems are operatively coupled to the resource entity systems 10, the user computer systems 20, and/or the interaction entity systems 30, through the network 2. The third party entity systems 40 and/or other like systems have components the same as or similar to the components described with respect to the resource entity systems 10, the user computer systems 20, and/or the interaction entity systems 30 (e.g., one or more communication components, one or more processing components, and one or more memory devices with computer-readable instructions of one or more applications, one or more datastores, or the like). Thus, the third party systems 40 and/or other like systems communicate with the resource entity systems 10, the user computer systems 20, the interaction entity systems 30, and/or each other in same or similar way as previously described with respect to the resource entity systems 10, the user computer systems 20, and/or the interaction entity systems 30.

The present invention disclosed herein relates generally to a resource entity providing a notification to a user that results in the user being able to take an action, such that a user may enter into a future interaction using user's resources from a resource pool and supplemental resources related to the notification and/or action. In some embodiments, the resource entity may be a financial institution and the interaction entity may be a merchant, but it should be understood that the entities may be another third party entity acting on its own or as a third-party for the resource entity or interaction entity. In some embodiments, the resource entity or the interaction entity may be acting on behalf of one another. The notification may relate to supplemental resources (e.g., and offer, discount, rebate, or the like) that the user may utilize for a product (e.g., good or service) during an interaction (e.g., transaction, or the like) with an interaction entity. The notification may be presented to the user via various channels, such as through the user's online resource pool (e.g., online banking account, or the like), social network account, email, text message, or other like channel. In some embodiments, the user action may be the acceptance of the notification (e.g., acceptance of the supplemental resources). When the user accepts the supplemental resources, the supplemental resources are activated so that if the user uses eligible resources from an eligible resource pool (e.g., as determined by the resource entity, the interaction entity, third party entity, or the like) to enter into the interaction, the user receives the benefit associated with the supplemental resources. In other embodiments, the supplemental resources may be automatically activated if the user has previously chosen to automatically activate supplemental resources associated with particular interactions (e.g., associated with particular interaction entities or products). In some embodiments, the resource entity may determine that a user may choose among multiple eligible resources pools in order to enter into an interaction associated with the supplemental resources.

As will be described herein in further detail later, in some embodiments the present invention provides a targeted integrated interface that integrates information related to interactions that the user 4 has with interaction entities with resources used from the resource entities, and provides targeted supplemental resources to the user 4 through the targeted integrated interface. The present invention provides at least two different improvements to the technological environment of interactions that occurs over a network 2, such as the Internet. First, the present invention presents a targeted integrated interface that presents targeted supplemental resources to the user 4 in order to keep the user 4 within the resource entity systems 10 and to make the user 4 more likely to use the resources of the resource entity by providing supplemental resources to the user 4 for future interactions with various interaction entity systems 30. Secondly, the present invention reduces the storage and processing capacity required by the resource entity systems 10 to present the targeted supplemental resources to the users 4. Because the targeted integrated interface is utilized to present the targeted supplemental resources to the user 4, the number of notifications presented to the user 4 is greatly reduced because the notifications are specified to the user 4 and the user 4 can select the targeted supplemented resources that the user 4 wants to use.

Referring now to FIG. 2, a general process flow 200 is provided for implementing rule-based supplemental resource association. At block 210, the method comprises receiving at least one rule, the at least one rule comprising at least one of a user rule or an entity rule (e.g., a filtering rule that excludes or allows the user access to supplemental resources based on the user and/or the entities). As used herein, a user rule is a rule that determines the users 4 that can access or that are excluded from the supplemental resources (e.g., allows or excludes some users from receiving and/or using the supplemental resources). In some embodiments, the at least one user rule may comprise an affinity rule. Therefore, if the user 4 and interaction entity already have an existing relationship (e.g., for providing and/or using supplemental resources), these users may be allowed or excluded from receiving the supplemental resources through the resource entity. The affinity rule comprises at least one of a full affinity rule or a partial affinity rule. When the affinity rule comprises a full affinity rule, the user is completely allowed or excluded from receiving supplemental resources if the interaction entity already has an existing relationship with the user 4. When the affinity rule comprises a partial affinity rule, the user 4 is allowed to or excluded from receiving supplemental resources associated with a particular product, category of products, an entity, industry, or the like associated with a particular interaction entity that already has an existing relationship with the user 4 for the particular product, category of products, entity, industry, or the like; however, the user 4 may receive supplemental resources associated with other products, categories of products, entities, industries, or the like associated with the particular entity. Additionally or alternatively, the user 4 may be allowed to or excluded from receiving supplemental resources associated with a competitor of a particular interaction entity if that particular interaction entity already has an existing relationship with the user 4.

In some embodiments, an entity rule is a rule that allows or excludes some interaction entities from providing supplemental resources to users 4 associated with an interaction entity. In some embodiments, the at least one entity rule comprises a category code rule. Therefore, an interaction entity associated with a predetermined category code is allowed to or excluded from providing supplemental resources. However, the resource entity managing the resource pool of the user 4 may set up a list of interaction entities that trigger exceptions. Interaction entities that trigger exceptions can provide supplemental resources even if these entities are associated with the excluded category codes.

It should be understood that specific user rules and/or entity rules have been described herein; however, any user rules or entity rules may be utilized to determine what users 4 have access to supplemental resources.

In some embodiments, the user information comprises other information as well. For example, in some embodiments, the user information may comprise additional information associated with the user, such as social network information associated with the user's social network account or other non-account related information associated with the user.

In some embodiments, the user information comprises other information as well. For example, in some embodiments, the user information comprises personal information, residence address history, education information, or the like) associated with the user. In some embodiments, the personal information further comprises social network information associated with the user's social network account or other non-account related information associated with the user. In some embodiments, the user information further comprises user information (e.g., personal information, account information, or the like) associated with the user's immediate or extended family members or contacts (e.g., as determined from social network information).

At block 230, the method comprises determining whether to allow a user access to supplemental resources based on the at least one rule and/or based on the received user information. It should be understood that the resource entity may have agreements with interaction entities to for providing supplemental resources to the user 4 if the user 4 enters into interactions with the interaction entities. The supplemental resources enable the user 4 to apply the supplemental resources to an interaction with an interaction entity in order to reduce the resources the user 4 uses from the user's resource pool to complete the interaction. As such, using the at least one rule and the received user information, the resource entity determines the targeted supplemental resources to present to the user 4. By using targeted supplemental resources, the resource entity can identify the users 4 most likely to use the supplemental resources in order to keep the users from leaving the resource entity applications 17 and keep the users using the resources of the resource entity for the interactions with the interaction entities, and also reduces the storage capacity and processing capacity required to present the supplemental resources to the users 4 (e.g., because the supplemental resources are targeted to specific users 4).

At block 240 in FIG. 2, when a user 4 qualifies for supplemental resources the resource entity may provide a notification to a user 4 regarding the supplemental resources. It should be understood that the user may receive a notification regarding the targeted supplemental resources from the resource entity. For example, the notification of the supplemental resources may be presented to the user 4 through the resource entity application 17 (e.g., user's online account accessed through the user computer systems 20), the social networking account of the user 4, electronic communication with the user 4 (e.g., user's e-mail, text message, sms message, other messaging channel, or the like), or the like, as will be described in further detail later.

As illustrated by block 250, regardless of how the supplemental resources are presented, an indication of an action is received regarding the one or more supplement resources accepted by or for the user 4. The user 4 may take an action by accepting one or more of the supplemental resources presented to the user 4. In other embodiments of the invention, one or more of the plurality of supplemental resources may be added automatically base on the one or more supplemental resources determined for the use as previously discussed with respect to block 230 (e.g., all of the supplemental resources for the user 4 are automatically added, or the like).

At block 240 an indication is received that a user 4 has entered into an interaction with an interaction entity using the user's resources from the resource pool of the user 4 at the resource entity. The indication may include the product associated with the interaction, the amount of the interaction, and/or the resource pool used by the user 4 to enter into the interaction. Should the interaction be allowed (e.g., there are no interaction limits on the user preventing the interaction, the interaction entity is allowed, the user's resource pool can cover the balance, or the like) resources from the user's resource pool are allocated for the interaction.

At block 250 as will be described, in some embodiments, the supplemental resources may be applied at a point of time in the future when the interaction that qualifies for the supplemental resources is processed.

In some embodiments, when an interaction is processed by the resource entity at a time in the future (e.g., at settlement time or processing time after the interaction is entered), the system determines whether the supplemental resources are still active and whether the supplemental resources are still valid with respect to both the user 4 and the interaction entity interacting with the user 4. This post-transaction process may be referred to as a supplemental resource reconciliation process. The supplemental resources are still active if the supplemental resources have not been revoked by at least one of the resource entity or the interaction entity, and/or if the supplemental resources have not expired.

The supplemental resources are valid with respect to the interaction entity if the interaction entity is not excluded under any entity rules. In some embodiments, in order for the supplemental resources to be valid, the interaction entity cannot be excluded under any entity rules that were in force at the time of the interaction. Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, in order for the supplemental resources to remain valid, the interaction entity cannot be excluded under any entity rules that are in force at the time of settlement of the interaction. Therefore, in some embodiments, the interaction entity cannot be excluded under any new entity rules that have been introduced since the interaction.

The supplemental interactions are valid for the user 4 if the user 4 is not excluded under any user rules. In some embodiments, in order for the supplemental resources to be valid, the user 4 cannot be excluded under any user rules that were in force at the time of the interaction. Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, in order for the supplemental resources to remain valid, the user cannot be excluded under any user rules that are in force at the time of settlement of the interaction. Therefore, in some embodiments, the user cannot be excluded under any new user rules that have been introduced since the purchase transaction.

In still other embodiments of the invention, the supplemental resources may also meet specific interaction rules regarding the interaction of the user with the interaction entity. The interaction rules may be set by the interaction entity and/or the resource entity. For example, the interaction rules may require the user 4 to enter the interaction at a specific date, time of day, location, interaction channel (e.g., in person, over the Internet, over a telephone, or the like), for a specific amount of resources, or the like. Moreover, the interaction rules may require the user 4 to use resources from specific resource pools.

If the user rules, interaction entity rules, and/or the interaction rules are met at the time of the interaction and/or time of settlement, the supplemental resources are still valid and the resource entity applies the amount of supplemental resources to the user's resource pool and/or reduces the resources provided to the interaction entity by the amount of the supplemental resources. In some embodiments, if at least one of the user rules, interaction entity rules, and/or the interaction rules are not met at the time of the interaction and/or settlement, the supplemental resources are invalid and the resource entity does not apply the amount of supplemental resources to the user's resource pool and/or applies the full amount of resources to the interaction entity. In alternate embodiments, even if at least one of the user rules, interaction entity rules, and/or interaction rules are not met at the time of settlement, the supplemental resources remain valid as long as the all of the rules were met at the time of the interaction, and consequently the resource entity applies the supplemental resources to the user's resource pool and reduces the resources provided to the interaction entity by the amount of the supplemental resources.

In some embodiment of the invention, the supplemental resources are presented to the user through an augmented reality application on the user computer system 20. In such an embodiment, the augmented reality application

In some embodiments, the supplemental resources (e.g., a notification of the access to the supplemental resources) are presented via at least one of a targeted integrated interface associated with the user's resource pool (e.g., online banking account, mobile banking account on a portable mobile communication device, or the like), via a targeted integrated interface associated with the user's social network account, or the like. In some embodiments, a notification of the supplemental resources are inserted into or presented alongside (e.g., on the right, left, top, bottom side of an electronic interfaces related to an interaction with an interaction entity) the interaction history that is presented on the user's online resource pool interactions (e.g., online interaction account). Therefore, for example, if ten interactions are listed in the interaction history list, the notification of the supplemental resources may be presented between the fourth and fifth interactions on the list. In some embodiments, the notification of the supplemental resources may be related to the transaction which the offer is presented alongside (e.g., the fourth and/or fifth transaction in the above example). For example, if the fourth interaction is a transaction for product ‘A’ from interaction entity ‘A,’ the supplemental resources are for a transaction for product ‘A’ (e.g., from any interaction entity) or for a transaction from interaction entity ‘A’ (e.g., for any product) or for a transaction of product ‘A’ from interaction entity ‘A.’ Alternatively, the supplemental resources may be for a transaction of a substitute product ‘A’ (e.g., from interaction entity ‘A’ or from any other interaction entity).

In other embodiments of the invention, the supplemental resources may be provided as an integrated notification in a user's contextual data. As will be described in greater detail herein, user contextual data may be any data obtained related to the user (e.g., stored on the user computer systems 20, stored on the resource entity system 10, interaction entity systems 30, and/or third party entity systems 40, and the like) and the user's activity. In such embodiments, the system may be configured to receive user contextual data and integrate a notification of the availability of supplemental resources related to the contextual data within the contextual data itself. For example, in some embodiments, the system may receive contextual data such as a photograph or image stored on the user computer system 20. The photograph received from the user computer system may include a retail store in the background of the image. The system may extract contextual information from the photograph (e.g., that the user has recently visited the retail store) and determine that the user has recently been in the vicinity of the retail store. The system may further determine—according to the methods described herein—that supplemental available resources related to that retail store are available to the user. Accordingly, the system may place a notification (e.g., a pin, marker, or the like) over the retail store in the photograph. Thus, when the user views the photograph (e.g., on the user computer system, on a social media platform, or the like), the user will see an integrated notification that supplemental resources are available at the retail store contained within the photograph.

In other embodiments of the invention, the supplemental resources may be provided as an alert within the resource entity application 17 (e.g., online interaction account), which when selected may provide a targeted integrated interface with a plurality of supplemental resources for which the user 4 qualifies. In some embodiments, the notification for the supplemental resources is transmitted to the user's email account. In other embodiments, the notification for the supplemental resources is transmitted, via text message or the like, to the user's mobile device.

In some embodiments, the presented supplemental resources are related to at least one of an interaction previously entered by the user (e.g., a previous transaction associated with the user's financial institution account), an interaction from an interaction entity from which the user previously entered into an interaction, an alternative to the interaction previously entered into by the user, or an alternative to the interaction from the interaction entity from which the user previously entered into an interaction. The alternative to the interaction may be determined based on interaction histories associated with a plurality of resource pools associated with multiple users.

In some embodiments, the presented notification for the supplemental resources relates to a new product related to a previous product interaction made by the user. For example, if the user previously purchased a stove, the supplemental resources may be related to a dishwasher or a stove maintenance service.

In some embodiments, a notification of supplemental resources sent to or presented on a resource pool associated with a first member of a family may be used by a second member of the family. In some embodiments, the second member of the family may use the supplemental resources even if the second member is not associated with the resource pool associated with the first member. For example, the supplemental resources associated with a particular interaction entity may be transmitted to (or linked to) a resource pool associated with a first family member. When the second member of the family enters an interaction that qualifies for the supplemental resources using the second member's resource pool (e.g., any qualifying payment method), the second member receives the allocation of the supplemental resources after entering into the interaction. The resource entity may have access to information that indicates that the second member is a family member of the first member even if the second member is not listed as being associated with the resource pool associated with the first member.

Additionally, in some embodiments, as part of the previously described supplemental resources reconciliation process at the time of settlement of the supplemental resources, the system determines whether the resource pool information substantially matches the supplemental resources information. If the resource pool information has changed since the interaction such that the resource pool information no longer substantially matches the supplemental resources information, the supplemental resources may be deemed to be invalid and the resource entity does not provide allocation of the supplemental resources to the user's resource pool. However, in other embodiments, even if the resource pool information has changed since the interaction, the offer remains valid and the financial institution provides a rebate to the user's financial institution account.

FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary process flow for providing supplemental resources to a user based on contextual data obtained on the user. As previously noted, contextual data as used herein is any data related to a user that provides context on the user's activity, interests, locations, purchases, and the like. Examples of contextual data may include photographs, e-mail communications, text messages, social media interactions, website browsing history, calendar appointments, GPS coordinates, purchase histories, and the like. The present invention seeks to make use of such contextual data in order to determine relevant supplemental resources to provide to the user as described above.

At block 310, the system receives user information for a user. As noted, user information may comprise resource pool information associated with the user's resource pool. In some embodiments, resource pool information, as used herein, refers to information associated with the user's resource pool managed by one or more resource entities. In some embodiments, the resource pool information comprises an interaction history (e.g., a transaction history, or the like) associated with the user's resource pool. The interaction history includes the types of interactions, frequency of interactions, resources used for the interactions, entities involved in the interactions, resource balance history, or the like. As used herein, an interaction, may be a transaction such as a purchase, a deposit, a withdrawal, a credit, a debit, or the like associated with a resource pool.

In some embodiments, the user information comprises other information as well. For example, in some embodiments, the user information may comprise additional information associated with the user, such as social network information associated with the user's social network account or other non-account related information associated with the user.

At block 320, the system accesses contextual data. The system may access contextual data in several ways. In some embodiments, the user may consent to allow resource entity systems 10 or third party entity systems 40 to access contextual data on the user computer systems 20 (e.g., photographs, emails, live streaming video, calendar, contacts, and the like) or other systems for which the user has access. For example, the user may allow the resource entity system 10 to access the user's images on the user's mobile device (e.g., when the user logs into the resource entity application, the user may consent to the resource entity application accessing the contextual data on the user's mobile device, or otherwise allowing the access even when the user is not logged into the resource entity application, or the like). In other examples, the user 4 may provide the resource entity systems 10 access to the user's social networking account (e.g., by providing the user's password and login to the resource entity, allowing the resource entity to become a contact of the user, or the like). As such, the resource entity systems 10 may capture contextual data from the user's private or public social networking accounts. In other embodiments, contextual data may be supplied based on an interaction between the user 4 and interaction entity systems 30 (e.g., data collected by internet analytics based on a user's browsing history and cookies, metadata, or the like). Typically, contextual data will be unprocessed (i.e., the data itself will not provide contextual information without additional processing by the system.

Thus, at block 330, the system extracts contextual information from the contextual data. The system may extract contextual information in many ways. In some embodiments, the system will employ optical character recognition (OCR), facial recognition software, or other image software to extract contextual information from the contextual data. For example, the contextual data may be a photograph that comprises one or more storefronts. Using OCR, the system can identify the names of the storefronts. Thus, the system will be able to determine that the user 4 was near a Store A, Store B, and so on. Using this context, the system will be able to determine if supplemental resources are available to the user 4 at Store A, Store B, or other stores identified through OCR. Similarly, the contextual data may also be a photograph comprising concert tickets, movie tickets, people, or the like. Using OCR, facial recognition software, or the other software, the system can determine that the user has purchased tickets to a concert on a certain date for Band A and/or is with a particular contact (e.g., social networking contact by comparing the captured contextual data with tags or other information from images in the user's social networking accounts). The system may then be able to determine if supplemental resources are available to the user 4 or contacts of the user related to the upcoming concert, or for other similar events and/or products.

In other embodiments, the contextual data may be an email associated with the user 4, a calendar event associated with the user 4, or an interaction posted to a social media account associated with the user 4. In such an embodiment, the system may extract contextual information from the email, calendar event, or social media interaction using context-specific grammars and language parsing. As used herein, a context-specific grammar is a set of rules that describe how to form strings in a language (e.g., English) according to the language's syntax. Context-specific grammars allow a system to “understand” written language. For example, the user 4 may have an event stored in a calendar connected to their mobile device for their spouse's anniversary. Using context-specific grammars, the system can determine that the user 4 has an upcoming wedding anniversary. Accordingly, the system may determine that there are supplemental resources available to the user 4 related to the user's wedding anniversary (e.g., discounts at a florist, jewelry store, restaurant, or the like.

Once the system has extracted contextual information from the contextual data—using OCR, facial recognition, context-specific grammars, or the like—the system at block 340 identifies supplemental resources to present to the user based on the user information and the contextual information. Some examples of this were discussed above (e.g., supplemental resources to a florist based on determining the user 4 has an upcoming anniversary, supplemental resources to Store A based on determining the user has a photograph outside of Storefront A, and the like). The resource entity systems 10 may comprise a catalog of available supplemental resources to provide to the user 4. In other embodiments, the resource entity systems 10 may communicate with third party entity systems 40 and interaction entity systems 30 to provide supplemental resources to the user 4. For example, the resource entity system may maintain categories of contextual information on one or more users 4 and provide such information to the interaction entity systems 30 and third party entity systems 40. The contextual information may be one or more users with an upcoming vacation and the interaction entity systems 30 may be associated with a hotel chain. The resource entity may present the one or more users with an upcoming vacation to the interaction entity system 30 associated with a hotel chain to allow the hotel chain to offer supplemental resources to the one or more users 4.

At block 350, the system transmits a notification of the supplemental resources to present to the user based on the user information and the contextual information. In some embodiments, the system may transmit a notification to the user computer systems 20. In other embodiments, the system may transmit a notification to by e-mail, text message, push notification, and the like to an account associated with the user 4.

In some embodiments, the system may transmit notification by placing an indicator within the contextual data. As discussed in more detail with respect to FIG. 4, such an embodiment may comprise contextual data in the form of a photograph or an image, and placing an indicator in the image may comprise editing the image to include a marker, a pin, or the like to indicate that supplemental resources are available related to an identified object in the photograph or image.

In yet other embodiments, transmitting a notification of the supplemental resources to present to the user based on the user information and the contextual information may comprise opening an augmented reality application on the user computer system 20. Such embodiments may be useful when geographic location information (e.g., GPS coordinates) from a user computer system 20 indicates that the user 4 is proximate to an offer for supplemental resources. For example, the GPS on a user's 4 mobile device may indicate that the user is in a shopping mall where several supplemental resources are available to the user 4. The system may send notification to the user 4 to open an augmented reality application on their mobile device. The augmented reality application captures image data from an image capture device operatively coupled to the user's mobile device. The image capture device may be a camera connected to the user's mobile phone. Alternatively, the image capture device may be cameras located proximate to the user 4 that connect to the user device over a network to provide images. The image data will then display on the user mobile device. While the augmented reality application displays the captured image data on the user mobile device, it can also identify objects in the image data using techniques similar to those discussed above (e.g., OCR, context-specific grammars and parsing, and the like). If the identified objects are associated with supplemental resources available to the user, the augmented reality application can place indicators in the captured image data displayed on the user's mobile device to indicate to the user 4 that supplemental resources are available.

At block 360, the system receives a user selection to accept the supplemental resources, wherein the user selection is received from the user computer systems 20. In some embodiments of the invention, a user 4 will accept the supplemental resources by choosing an “Accept” option that accompanies the notification of supplemental resources to the user. However, it will be understood that the user may accept the supplemental resources in any acceptable manner, including but not limited to, clicking a link to visit a resource entity website, responding “Yes” or “Accept” to an email, sms message, or the like, choosing to automatically accept any available supplemental resources, or any other similar means of acceptance.

Finally, at block 370, the system stores the supplemental resources as being associated with the user or a resource pool of the user. Storing the supplemental resources as being associated with the user typically comprises storing a pointer reference, a flag, or the like along with user information and/or the user resource pool stored on the resource entity systems 10 that indicate the user has accepted supplemental resources. Thus, when the user 4 seeks to use the supplemental resources, the resource entity systems 10 can apply the supplemental resources to the user's 4 resource pool when processing the transaction.

FIG. 4 depicts an embodiment of the invention wherein notification of supplemental resources are displayed to the user as an integrated notification within a photograph, image, or augmented reality environment 400. Integrating the notification within a photograph, image, or augmented reality environment 400 requires the system to receive a photograph, image, or camera feed (e.g., for the augmented reality environment) and edit the received photograph, image, or camera feed to include notifications over particular embodiments, before transmitting the edited photograph, image, or camera feed over the network 2 to be viewed on the user computer system 20. According to embodiments of the invention, users may be entirely unaware of the communications between the user computer systems 20 and the entity computer systems 30 to receive, edit, and transmit the image back to the user computer systems 20. As such, the user is simply presented with an offer for supplemental resources integrated into a photograph, image, or augmented reality environment 400 on their user computer systems.

As shown in FIG. 4, an environment 400 may comprise an image (either a still photograph or a live-feed augmented reality environment) that can be displayed on the display of user computer systems 20. As described above, the system is able to use contextual data (e.g., OCR, context-specific grammars, and the like) to identify objects) in the environment 400 and determine whether supplemental resources are available to the user based on the identified objects. For example, several buildings are depicted in the environment 400 depicted in the embodiment portrayed by FIG. 4. In such an embodiment, the system may be able to identify building 420 (e.g., using OCR to read signage outside of Building X, using geotags within a stored image to determine the location of the photo as Building X, or the like). Using information stored on the entity computer systems 10 or third party entity systems 40, the system can determine that there is Store A housed in building 420. Further, the system may also determine that the user 4 has supplemental resources available to them at Store A.

According to embodiments of the invention as depicted by FIG. 4, the system may then transmit notification of the available supplemental resources by placing a marker 410 within the image or augmented reality environment over building 420 to indicate the availability of supplemental resources. In some embodiments, the marker 410 may be a flag, icon, or the like that indicates supplemental resources are available related to the identified object (e.g., a store housed within a building). In some embodiments, the user may tap on the marker 410 to view the offer of supplemental resources. In such embodiments, a text window may appear that details the supplemental resources available the user. The text window may contain text that indicates the availability of supplemental resources available to the user 4 (e.g., “Supplemental Resources Available. Do you accept?”). Additionally, the text window may provide the user with the option to accept the supplemental resources by selecting a “Yes” to accept the supplemental resources or a “No” to decline.

Referring generally to the embodiments of the invention, supplement resources may be offers for discounts, rebates, and/or coupons (e.g., reverse couponing) that are applied to the user's resource pool retroactively after the interaction has been made. As such, the system enables transmission of individualized or personalized offers to users. For example, an offer associated with a merchant may be a 10% discount on a purchase made from that merchant. As an example, the activated offer may be a rebate of $5 on a purchase of $20 or more from a department store. The user may decide to use the offer by visiting the department store and making a purchase of $20. In some embodiments, at the point of sale, the user pays $20 for the user's purchase using an eligible payment method determined by the financial institution or the merchant (e.g., payment card, mobile device payment, check, or the like). When the transaction is processed by the financial institution at a predetermined settlement time in the future (e.g., as part of a periodic batch processing operation to generate monthly account statements), the financial institution provides a rebate of $5 to the user's financial institution account. Therefore, the department store, at the point of sale, may have no knowledge that the user will receive a rebate at some point in the future. In some embodiments, even the user may not be aware of the rebate at the point of sale (e.g., if the offer was automatically activated). In other embodiments, the point of sale terminal may provide an indication to at least one of the department store or the user that the user will receive a rebate at some point in the future.
