This invention relates generally to gift cards and more particularly to a system for improving the overall giftability of gift cards by providing means for users to add numerous personalization options to physical gift card holders as well as the personalization of other digital communications mediums to communicate a sentiment, occasion, message, and/or gift card brand experience. A system according to the invention also includes a computing device of the user that generates a user interface having application program interfaces (APIs) that interface with one or more peripheral devices of the computing device to receive and process user-supplied content.
Transaction cards, stored value cards, or gift cards as they are commonly called based upon their intended use, have become popular gifts. Gift cards typically comprise a stored value card whereby a certain cash equivalent value is encoded upon a magnetic strip applied to the surface of the card. This stored value is determined by the vendor prior to packaging and display for sale or is selected at the point of sale by the purchaser and loaded by the cashier using a magnetic card reader/writer.
Gift card holders for gift cards have been used both to simply store gift cards and to provide a surface for decorative indicia and graphics, as well as personalized or preprinted text. Gift card holders also includes a sound generating device to provide user initiated sound for its recipient.
What is needed is a system that provides for personalization of gift card holders via an online, interactive ordering platform, whereby a user may select from content provided by the system as well as upload personalized content for inclusion in the production of the holder using a user interface including application program interfaces (APIs) that interface with one or more peripheral devices of a computing device of the user.
Embodiments of the gift card ordering system and method provides a solution to conventional gift card purchasing systems by incorporating one or more peripheral application program interfaces (APIs) of an application executed on a user's computing device for obtaining user-supplied content for inclusion on a gift card holder/gift card combination to be sent to a recipient. The application is any type of application executable on a computing device of the user, such as code rendered by a web browser or application software (i.e., a mobile app) that is executed by the computing device, which may be, for example, a tablet computer or a wireless communication device.
According to one aspect of the disclosure, a personalized stored value card and teaser presentation creation system includes a server included with instructions to generate a graphical user interface (GUI) on a second computing device, receive user-supplied content including at least one of user-supplied textual, audio, image, or video content, receive stored value card information associated with a merchant of a stored value card and a monetary amount to be associated with the stored value card, and transmit the received user-supplied content to the server. The server then generates a stored value card holder comprising the received user-supplied content, facilitates a financial transaction to acquire a stored value card associated with the received stored value card information, composites a teaser presentation that includes the received user-supplied content by rendering the user-supplied content in one or more pre-defined fields of the teaser presentation, the teaser presentation indicating, to the recipient, that the stored value card holder and the stored value card are to be received, and transmits the teaser presentation along with or prior to the stored value card holder and the stored value card to a recipient.
Although gift cards have been become a commonly accepted gifting medium, their use has not been without limitation. For example, conventional gift cards are generally impersonal in that they typically do not include any personal sentiment that the user (i.e., sender) would like to convey to his or her recipient. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a solution to this problem using an application executed on a computing device that obtains content for inclusion on a gift card holder from one or more peripheral devices of the computing device using application program interfaces (APIs) that interface with these devices.
The server 102 communicates with a website of a retailer, such as a mail order retailer, or processing center of a retailer or other entity that processes incoming orders for products and fulfills these orders by managing shipment of the ordered product to the purchaser or other recipient and payment for the ordered product from the purchaser. The server 102 includes a processing system 202 (
The server 102 communicates with a gift card activation server 120 for activation of the gift card, and a financial account server 122 that is associated with a financial account of the user to provide payment for the activated gift card by the user. The financial account is any type, such as a credit card account, a debit card account, a GOOGLE WALLET™ account, or a PAYPAL™ account of the user. Prior to activation of the gift card, the server 102 facilitates a financial transaction between the gift card activation server 120 and the financial account server 122 associated with the user to provide payment for the gift card. The server 102 also communicates with a social network server 124 to obtain information about the user and/or recipient for suggesting additional content to be included with the gift card holder/gift card combination. Additionally, the server 102 communicates with the social network server 124 to obtain information about the user and/or recipient for suggestions regarding events or any special occasions (e.g., birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, expected graduation dates, and the like) associated with the user and/or recipient. For example, the server 102 may obtain information associated with a friend of the user indicating that the friend has an upcoming anniversary, and present this information to the user along with any gift card/gift card holder designs related to anniversaries so that the user can optionally select a particular gift card/gift card holder design to send to the friend (e.g., recipient).
The gift card activation server 120, the financial account server 122, the social network server 124, and the production facility 116 have one or more processors and executable instructions stored in volatile and/or non-volatile memory for performing the actions and/or steps described herein.

For another example, the peripheral device interface module 212 receives audio, still imagery, and/or video content using the microphone and/or camera configured on the computing device 108.
A user financial account API module 214 communicates with a payment processing server, such as the financial account server 122, to transact a monetary transfer of funds from the user's financial account to a financial account of a merchant of the gift card. In one example, the user financial account API module 214 includes an application program interface (API) for coordinating a monetary transaction (e.g., online money transfer) through an e-commerce provider, such as PAYPAL™, online credit card systems, or other suitable third party financial clearing entity. In another example, the user financial account API module 214 encodes monetary transaction information provided by the user and transmits this information to the gift card activation server 120 such that the gift card activation server 120 may communicate with the financial account server 122 of the user for transacting funds necessary for activating the gift card.
The gift card activation API module 216 communicates with the gift card activation server 120 for activation of the gift card. For example, the gift card activation server 120 is a server managed by a merchant associated with the gift card. For another example, the gift card activation server 120 is a third party server of a third party gift card activation service for activation of the gift card, such as SVS™, STORE FINANCIAL™, and the like.
A gift card holder (GCH) generation module 218 facilitates the generation of the gift card holder to be sent to the recipient along with the selected gift card. In one example, the gift card/gift card holder combination is generated in digital form and transmitted to the recipient via any suitable communication mechanism, such as via an e-mail message, or a short message service (SMS) message. In another example, information associated with the gift card/gift card holder combination is transmitted to a production facility 116 for generating a physical gift card holder, from which a gift card is inserted and sent to the recipient via a mail delivery service, such as the UNITED PARCEL SERVICE™ (UPS).
It should be appreciated that the modules described herein is provided only as an example of a computing device that executes the gift card ordering application 104 according to the teachings of the present invention, and that other computing systems may have the same modules, different modules, additional modules, or fewer modules than those described herein. For example, one or more modules as described in
In step 302, the gift card ordering application 104 receives a request from a computing device 108 and generates a GUI on the computing system for receiving personalized information from the user. In one embodiment, the GUI is generated as a web page that is rendered by a web browser executed on the computing device 108 through a network, such as the Internet. In another embodiment, the GUI is generated by application software (i.e., a mobile app) designed to be executed on a computing device 108 embodied as a wireless communication device, a tablet computer, or other similar type of portable computing device.
The user accesses the system 100 via the computing device 108 via the user interface of the computing device 108 hosted by the gift card ordering server 102. A user may arrive at the system interface via an HTML link or other suitable entry point, such as through a mobile app executed on a portable computing device. The user typically initiates the online personalized gifting transaction by requesting a URL of the server 102 through a browser or by launching the mobile app on a portable computing device, such as a wireless communication device or portable tablet computer from which the GUI is generated on the computing device 108.
In some embodiments incorporating a mobile app that is executed on a portable computing device, a first or main screen display is provided showing elements such as text and graphics describing and explaining use of the system. The main screen also displays one or more banners showing seasonal offers provided to the user. In certain embodiments, the user can scroll through multiple banners using a finger swipe or other means, such as arrow keys, provided by the portable computing device for controlling and interacting with the mobile app executed on the portable computing device. Typically, the main screen also includes text and graphics comprising a primary navigation element, such as a “Get Started” button, that is activated by a screen touch or other selection means provided by the mobile device to advance the user to the next screen.
In step 304, the gift card ordering application 104 optionally receives information associated with the user. For example, the gift card ordering application 104 generates a splash screen (
In step 306, the gift card ordering application 104 optionally receives information associated with a recipient. For example, the gift card ordering application 104 generates a recipient information screen (
Certain embodiments of the system 100 provide a technique for a user to view and select social media contacts (e.g. FACEBOOK™ friends) via social media APIs that provide contact information and demographics that the system utilizes to provide gifting recommendations to the user. The system, for example, provides the user with a listing of all contact birthdays within a specified or system-determined period of time (e.g. 30 days), and allows the user to select a contact from the list and then proceed with creating a personalized gift via the system as described herein below.
In step 308, the gift card ordering application 104 receives gift card information from the computing device 108. For example, the gift card ordering application 104 presents an occasion screen (
The user selects the gift card information by searching for specific gift cards via occasion, category (e.g., dining, spa, hotel, shopping, or event), brand, and/or recipient (e.g., him, her, teens, kids, or babies) associated with gift cards. The user can also filter by geographic location, using city and state, street address, or zip code information. In some embodiments, the user can search for a specific gift card by accessing the system 100 via a device having GPS or other geographic locator capabilities in which the location is determined and transferred directly to the system via geographic data provided by the GPS device. In some embodiments, the gift card brand selection is made by initiating the transaction through a specific merchant website. The user then selects a gift card corresponding to a particular offer. Typically, an offer will comprise a particular business entity or venue and may be, for example, a restaurant, hotel, theater, store, or shopping district. In some embodiments, the user also selects particular design graphics or indicia to appear on the gift card. The user then selects a gift card denomination or enters a desired denomination amount to load or associate with the gift card. In certain embodiments the user searches by experience and thus select multiple brands available via a single gift card (e.g., dinner and a movie) or a gift card that is pre-denominated (i.e., a preset monetary value). Gift cards may also be pre-selected if the user accesses the system via a vendor website, in which case the vendor identity is provided by the vendor site to the system.
In step 310, the gift card ordering application 104 receives personalized content from the GUI (
According to one embodiment, the gift card ordering application 104 provides for selection or creation of audio content for the gift card holder by the user. The gift card ordering application 104 presents an audio selection screen (
According to another embodiment, the gift card ordering application 104 provides for addition of video content for the gift card holder. The video content is included with the gift card holder or is sent separately to the recipient as a ‘teaser video’.
To provide video content, the gift card ordering application 104 presents a video selection screen (
In one embodiment, the teaser video includes a template-based FLASH™ video file having predetermined content structures (e.g., placement areas) that are marked and tracked within the video file. Uploaded content (e.g. text, audio, image, or video segments) are mapped within the content structures in the video file. Once content is uploaded and mapped to the content structures, the gift card ordering application 104 displays a preview of the teaser video through a suitable video player. The application 104 then saves the video as a teaser video (e.g. Flash video file) that is set for streaming from a video management system, such as the retailer video message management module 220 via a suitable content delivery network (e.g. Rackspace or Akamai CDN).
In one embodiment, the teaser video may be composited using any mechanism, which may include a system specific custom compositing engine based on Open Source Media Framework Template Flash video files provided by ADOBE™. The video may be viewed using any mechanism, such as a system specific, custom video player based on the Open Source Media Framework. The gift card ordering application 104 includes a Rackspace Content Delivery Network server for storing the uploaded user images and a video server for storage and streaming of the teaser videos. Additionally, via SWF to MP4 Conversion Tools, the gift card ordering application 104 encodes the teaser videos into an MP4 format for optional playback on mobile devices. In certain embodiments, the gift card ordering application 104 encodes the teaser video in HTML5 format to play audio and video within webpages and, for example, to construct and play videos provided by the system. In one embodiment, the GUI has access to the API associated with the camera of the computing device 108 such that the video segment is obtained directly from the camera of the computing device 108.
In step 312, the gift card ordering application 104 receives selection of a gift card to accompany the gift card holder designed and personalized in steps 302 through 310. For example, the gift card ordering application 104 generates a gift card selection screen (
Certain embodiments of the system provide a mechanism to use the system 100 for charitable giving by providing an option for the user to select a gift card as a means for a charitable donation. The recipient receives the card, selects a charity, and the selected charity receives a donation per the value of the card. The system of the present invention is used to provide enhancements to the charitable gifting experience, both for the user and the recipient, such as by means of personalized gift card holders including graphic, text, audio and/or video content, and by sending the recipient a video teaser in advance of receipt of the gift card.
In step 314, the gift card ordering application 104 generates a gift card holder in accordance with information provided by the user of the computing device in steps 302 through 310. In one embodiment, the gift card ordering application 104 generates a gift card holder/gift card combination in digital form. In another embodiment, the gift card ordering application 104 sends information associated with the gift card holder/gift card combination to a production facility for generating the gift card holder/gift card combination in physical form. That is, the gift card ordering application 104 transmits the information associated with the gift card holder/gift card combination to a production facility whereby a gift card holder (
In step 316, the gift card ordering application 104 sends the gift card holder/gift card combination to the recipient. For the embodiment above in which the gift card holder/gift card combination is generated in digital form, the application 104 transmits the gift card holder/gift card combination to the user via any suitable digital format, such as via an e-mail message, via a short message service (SMS) message, or via a social media account. However, for the embodiment above in which the gift card holder/gift card combination is generated in physical form by the production facility, the gift card holder/gift card combination is sent to the recipient via a mail delivery service.
The process described above is performed repeatedly for additional gift card holder/gift cards to be sent to one or more recipients. When use of the gift card ordering application 104 is no longer needed or desired, the process ends.
It should be appreciated that the steps described herein is provided only as an example of a process that is performed by the gift card ordering application 104 according to the teachings of the present invention, and that the gift card ordering application 104 may perform fewer, more, or different types of steps than those described herein.
