The internet has become a primary resource for entertainment. Many popular sites offset internet-based games and videos. Typically such sites are advertisement supports or require payment of a subscription fee. However, banner ads and other forms of advertisements displayed in a browser are easily ignored. Accordingly, the “click-through” rate for such advertisements is extremely low.
Many people also use the internet for shopping including both purchasing products from websites and researching products they wish to buy. The abundance of shopping sites makes it difficult to attract customers. In addition, the browsing habits of many users include only looking at a merchant's website for a matter of seconds before moving on to another site or navigating to another portion of a merchant's website.
In view of the foregoing it would be an advancement in the art to provide an approach to internet shopping and advertising that is able to attract customer's attention as well as providing the entertainment that many internet users seek.

For example, one or more application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) can be programmed to carry out one or more of the systems and procedures described herein.
One or more workstations 212 may be operably coupled to the host server 202 or one or more of the servers 208a-208d, such as by means of the network 206. The workstation 212 may be used by a user wishing to access the services provided by the servers 208a-208d or host server 202. The workstation 212 may host a browser for presenting a web-based interface to processes running on the servers 208a-208d or host server 202. The workstation 212 may be embodied as a computing device such as that illustrated in
One or more of the servers 208a-208d may be coupled to a local area network (LAN) 214 having one or more of additional workstations 216, databases 218, and servers 220. In such embodiments, the server 208c coupled to the LAN may provide a gateway to a system seeking to access resources provided on the workstation 216, database 218, or server 220. Accordingly, the services “provided” by the server 208c may include those provided components coupled to the LAN 214 and accessed by means of the server 208c.
In some embodiments, the host server 202 may provide product-based gaming for users on one or more workstations 212. The servers 208a-208d may provide internet purchasing interfaces for users wishing to purchase products featured in a product-based game provided by the host server. For purposes of this disclosure a “product” may be anything that may be purchased with money including goods, services, and any and all intangible property.
A prospective player may also be presented 304 with a product selection on the workstation 212. The product selection may include products from one or more merchants and may be navigable and searchable as known in the art of online shopping. Presenting 304 may include presenting 304 the product selection in a web browser or embedded in a game interface. The products may be represented with images and/or text and may be presented with additional information such as customer reviews and links to related products. The prospective player chooses products from the product selection and these choices are transmitted to the host server 202. The host server receives 306 the prospective player's choices, in the form of product identifiers for the selected products. In some embodiments, prospective players may rank multiple products in order of preference. Accordingly, receiving 306 the prospective player's choices may include receiving a ranking for the products chosen.
In some embodiments, a user does not select products and is not presented with an opportunity to select products. For example, a user may simply be presented with an invitation to play a game for the opportunity to win a promotion, such as a discount, for a pre-determined product.
The host server 202 may then present 308 a game interface to one or more prospective players. The game interface may be a locally executed application. In such embodiments, presenting 308 the game interface may include transmitting an authorization or instruction to the local interface to present the game interface upon payment of the game fee and selection of one or more products. Alternatively, the game interface may be a web-based interface such that presenting 308 the game interface may include transmitting a web page operable to provide a game interface when rendered by a browser. Presenting 308 the game interface may include presenting 310 images of one or more produces selected by a player as interface elements. For example, game pieces, buttons, and other elements that a user may manipulate using a mouse may be displayed on the user workstation with an image of a selected product.
The game interface receives 312 user interactions therewith. For web based applications, receiving 312 user interactions may include receiving 312 these interactions at the host server 202 as transmitted from a web-based application or browser executing on the workstation 212. The host server 202 may interpret the user interactions and update the state of the game and transmit any updates to the game interface to the user workstation 212. For locally executing, applications, the locally executing application receives 312 the user interactions and updates the state of the locally executing game and locally presented game interface as necessary.
Upon conclusion of the game, the method 300 includes determining 314 which product and/or promotion or discount the player receives according to the outcome of the game. In some embodiments, the discount is fixed and the product is selected according to the outcome of the game. In some embodiments, an awarded promotion may include buy one, get one deals, gifts with purchase of a prize product, access to limited supply goods, access to events, access to special content, and the like. In other embodiments, the product is always one of the products selected by the player but the amount of the discount or type of promotion depends on the outcome of the game. In still other embodiments, the product and the promotion, such as a discount amount, are selected based on the outcome of the game. In embodiments where a fee is paid to play the game, the value of the promotion or amount of the discount is preferably greater than or equal to the amount of the game fee. In some embodiments, the product and/or promotion are selected by a random process where the likelihood of receiving one of the products selected by the player and/or a larger valued promotion, e.g., discount amount, increases based on the outcome of the game, i.e., number of points, win or loss, completion of a task, or the like. In embodiments, where users select products and rank them in terms of desirability, the likelihood that the user will receive a promotion, such as a discount, for a higher ranked product may increase based on the outcome of the game. For example, a larger number of points may increase the likelihood of getting a higher ranked product. The step of determining 314 the prize product and/or promotion may be performed by the host server 202 or by an application executing on the workstation 212.
A promotion message may then be transmitted 316 to the player, such as by transmitting a message to the workstation 212 by means of a web browser, email application, text message, or interaction with another locally executing application on the workstation 212. The promotion message may identify the prize product determined at step 314 and the promotion, such as a discount amount. The promotion message may further include a time limiter indicating how long the promotion will be available or providing other incentives to redeem the promotion in a timely manner. Other incentives may include promotions for accessories for the prize product that expire if not redeemed by a given time or an additional discount for the prize product that expires unless the promotion is redeemed by a given time. In addition to any incentives, offers, advertisements, and discounts, or other promotions for other products, which may relate to the prize product, may also be included in the promotion message. The promotion message may include a promotional code, electronic coupon, or other data enabling the player to redeem the promotion for the prize product at a website or physical store of a merchant.
Upon redemption of the promotion for the prize product by the player, the merchant that sold the product to the player may remit an affiliate fee or other compensation to the entity owning or controlling the host server 22. Accordingly the method 300 may include receiving 320 payment of an affiliate fee. The fee may be paid to a financial institution such that receiving 320 payment of the affiliate fee may include receiving 320 notice of payment of the affiliate fee. In some embodiments, a merchant providing products for selection using the method 300 may pay a sponsorship fee such that payment of an affiliate fee upon redemption of a promotion message is not performed.
The network profile interface 400 may additionally display an entry point 412 to launch a product-based game, such as described above with respect to
The method 500 may include receiving 504 a user selection of the game entry point. This may include receiving a message at a host server 202 as a result of user selection of the game entry point on a workstation 212. The method 500 may further include receiving 506 a user selection of network profile identifiers and transmitting 508 invitations to join in a group game to the identified users.
Various methods may be used to receive 506 a selection of invitees and transmit 508 the invitations to the invitees using a social networking interface. An inviter player may, for example, select invitee players from a contact list or friends list including identifiers for the network profiles of other users and then issue invitations to an inbox or other messaging data structure of a social networking profile of an invitee player using communication methods known in the art of social networking. The invitation may include hyptertext, buttons, or other user interface elements allowing the invitee player to click on the invitation when viewed in the network profile interface to indicate to the host server 202 an acceptance of the invitation. The invitation may be generated by the host server 202 and transmitted by means of the host server 202. For example, a locally executing application or interface to an application executing on the host server 202 may receive identifiers for prospective players and transmit invitations with required codes or user interface elements to the inbox of the invitee player's networking profile.
Alternatively, the invitation may include a game identifier. The invitee player may then transmit the game identifier to the host server 202 identifier upon initiation a game, such as by performing steps 502 and 504 using a network profile interface. The game identifier may be supplied by the user to the host server 202 upon initiating the game by performing steps 502 and 504. Alternatively, the game identifier may be transmitted from the host server 202 to the user's inbox upon performance of the steps 502 and 504. In some embodiments, invitations including a link, game identifier, or other access code, may be transmitted by email, text message, or the like, and accepted in the same manner as described above.
The host server 202 may receive 510 acceptances from one or more of the invitees. As noted above, acceptance may be initiated by an invitee may clicking a link in the invitation or by selecting a game entry point and entering a game identifier or other code in a game interface presented on the invitee computer. In embodiments where payment of a game fee is required the host server 202 may receive 512 payment of a game fee. As noted above, this may include receiving at the host server notification of payment of a game fee by a financial institution or other payment processing entity.
The method 500 therefore includes steps of presenting 514 products for game rewards on the user computers, and receiving 516 user selections of one or more desired products, which may include a ranking of the desired products. Interacting 518 with the players to provide the game play may be through a web browser executing on each of the inviter and invitee computers or an independent application. Interaction 518 between players may be managed on the host server 202 in data communication with the user computers or may be performed by the user computers with interaction achieved by communication between user computers.
The method 500 may include selecting 520, by the host server 202 or an application executing on the player computers, one or both of a prize product and a promotion, such as a discount amount, according to the outcome of the game. In some embodiments, selection 520 of a prize may be as described hereinabove except that the prize product selected 520 for an individual player may be any of the products selected by any of the other players of the group. Alternatively, the pool of products from which the prize product is selected 520 may include those of some or all of the players in the group as well as one or more other products that were not selected by any of the players. As already noted hereinabove, in embodiments where a game fee is required to play the value of the promotion, such as the value of a discount, is preferably at least as great as the game fee. The prize product and promotion may then be presented 522 to the players. Upon redemption of one or more of the promotions, the host server 202 may receive 524 or verify receipt of an affiliate fee from the merchant providing the prize product and promotion.
The method 600 may further include receiving 606 payment of a sponsorship fee. In some embodiments, receiving 606 payment of the sponsorship fee may include receiving verification of payment of the fee from another entity, such as a financial institution. The sponsorship fee may be a fee paid in order for the host server 202 to provide the merchant's product's as part of the product-based game and may also include a fee for providing advertising, e.g., banner ads, as part of a game interface. Where a merchant has a paid up sponsorship fee or a fee is otherwise not required, the step of receiving 606 payment of the sponsorship fee may be omitted.
The products received 604 from a merchant may then be presented 608 to players for selection as part of a product-based game. The products presented 608 may include those received 604 from multiple merchants. As noted above, presenting 608 products to players may include providing a web-based interface that is navigable and searchable. As in the other methods described herein, the method 600 may include receiving 610 a player's selection of one or more products from the interface for each player. Receiving 610 a player's selection may include receiving multiple products along with a ranking of the selected products.
The method 600 may include providing game play to one or more players. This may include presenting 612 one or more of a player's selected products as interface elements in a game interface and interacting 614 with one or more players to provide game play. In some embodiments, steps 612 and 614 may be performed by a software module executing on a user workstation 212.
Upon conclusion of the game, a player may be assigned 616 one or both of a product and a product promotion, such as a discount amount, based on the outcome of the game. The product assigned and the promotion may be defined by product records received 604. The product and/or promotion assigned 616 may then be presented 618 to the player. Presenting 618 the promotion may include transmitting a promotion message identifying the product and/or promotion to a workstation 212 associated with a user.
The method 600 may include presenting other information to the user along with the promotion message. This may include presenting 620 early purchase incentives. The purchase incentives may include free products for purchase by a deadline, additional promotions for the prize product, and the like. The method may also include retrieving related product records 622 and presenting 624 the retrieved products along with discounts or offers to purchase the retrieved products. As in other steps of the method 600, presenting may include transmitting the information to a user workstation 212.
The method 600 may further include detecting 626 redemption of any promotions or product offers presented in steps 618, 620, or 624. Detecting 626 may include receiving notice from a merchant that uploaded a record for the product redeemed that a product associated with one of the products offered in steps 618, 620, or 624. The method may also include receiving payment 628 of an affiliate fee, which may include receiving notice of payment of the affiliate fee from a financial institution.
The method 900 may include evaluating 910 whether a user wishes to buy points. If so, then the host server 202 manages interactions required for the user to transfer money to the entity owning or controlling the host server and associates points with the purchaser of the points. The method 900 may also include evaluating 912 whether a prospective player has played before. If not, then the host server 202 may present 914 a tutorial to the player. In either case, a game is then further initiated 916.
The following figures and description describe the logic of providing a white elephant type game. The method steps described may be executed on the host server 202, on a player workstation 212, a combination of the two, or by some other device alone or in combination with these devices. Interaction and instructions from players may be received and processed on a player workstation 212 or received on the player workstation 212 and transmitted to the host server 202 for processing.
A game may begin with execution of a method 1000 of
The player may then choose 1204 whether to swap the gift with another gift from the pile. If not, the player will keep 1206 the gift from the pile. If so, then the player swaps gifts with the pile and has an option to keep the gift swapped from the pile may choose 1208 whether to keep the second gift from the pile, after finding out the product associated with the second gift. If the player chooses to keep the gift, then the user may choose 1210 to pay a lock fee to prevent loss of the gift during later game play. If the player chooses to pay a lock fee then the lock fee is paid 1212 and received by the entity associated with the host server. The player may also choose 1214 whether to pay an early fee. If the player chooses 1214 to pay the fee, then the fee is paid 1216 and the game ends 1218 for that player.
If a player chooses 1208 not to keep a gift selected from the pile on that turn, the player may choose 1220 to steal a gift from another player. If so, then the method 1200 may include evaluating 1222 whether steal is permitted according to game logic described hereinbelow. If so, then the gift associated with the player is exchanged 1224 with a gift associated with another player chosen by the player. A player may choose 1226 to swap gifts with another player rather than to steal a gift. If the other player is found 1228 to agree with the swap, then the player and the other player exchange 1230 gifts. This may include changing the gifts associated with each player's game state.
In some embodiments, a message board as known in the art may be accessible and viewable by the players and may provide the ability for player's to post comments. In such embodiments, a player's turn may include marketing 1232 the product associated with a user on the message board to earn points, posting messages 1234 regarding transactions (swaps or steals) that took place during the player's turn, and post 1236 responses to other messages. Messages 1234 regarding transactions (swaps or steals) may include automatically generate text that the player may edit or not and then post to the message board or transmit to the other part of the transaction. Marketing messages may result in points being associated with the user for use at different points in the game.
The player may also indicate a choice 1308 to steal a product from a second player. If so, then the method 1300 may include evaluating 1310 whether the player has any steals left. Upon the commencement of the game a player may be given a certain number of steals that are used up with each steal. In some embodiments, additional steals may be purchased using points acquired by purchase or during game play. In some embodiments, a steal may be purchased outright. If the player is found 1310 to have free steals, the method 1300 may include evaluating 1312 whether the gift the player wishes to steal has remaining steals. Each gift may have a number of permitted steals associated therewith such that it can only be stolen a certain number of times before it can no longer be stolen. If the gift is found 1312 to not have any more steals, the method 1300 may include evaluating whether the stealing player has an extra steal. An extra steal may be purchased with points or money and allows a player to steal a gift notwithstanding the fact that the gift has no more steals left.
If the player chooses to steal the gift, has free steals left, and the player has an extra steal or the gift has steals left, the method 1300 may include evaluating 1316 whether the second player has and chooses to use immunity from stealing. An immunity may be purchased with points or money and is used up by choosing to invoke the immunity in response to an attempt to steal. In some embodiments, once the immunity is used it cannot be used again and another immunity must be purchased if one is to be used.
If the player cannot or chooses not to use immunity, then the gift of the second player is stolen 1318. This may include swapping the product identifiers of the products associated with the stealing player and the second player. If the player uses immunity or the steal is otherwise not permitted according to other method steps, then the steal is refused 1320.
As noted above, in some embodiments, a player may choose to end the game early, which may include payment of an early fee. In such embodiments, the game may end 1516 after a user has an opportunity to see the promotion message and redeem the promotion. However, even where an early end has been chosen, the end of the game for other players may precede or follow redemption of a discount by a player. Upon ending 1516 of the game for all players, all players may be presented 1518 with a baseline discount or baseline promotion, such as a baseline discount, that is independent of the outcome of the game and offers all players an opportunity to purchase products with the baseline promotion. As in other embodiments, the baseline promotion may be in the form of a promotional code or other data structure enabling a user to purchase a product at a discount. The player may then choose 1520 whether to buy products using the baseline promotion. If so, then the player may complete 1522 selection and purchase of the products benefiting from the baseline promotion, which may include generating 1524 affiliate revenue for an entity owning or controlling the host server 202. If a player chooses 1520 not to purchase products using the baseline promotion, then the player may hold 1526 the baseline promotion for later use.
