Abstract

Provided herein are method, apparatus, and computer program products for automatically outputting a wearer interface or a redemption interface. The wearer interface and the redemption interface may contain information related to a wearer of a wearable device and a provider respectively. The wearable device may reference a merchant redemption parameters database to facilitate the output of the redemption interface, and the wearable device my reference a wearer parameters database to facilitate the output of the wearer interface. Both the wearer interface and the redemption interface may be displayed on the wearable device by an interactive display.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A device comprising at least one processor and at least one memory associated with the at least one processor having computer coded instructions stored thereon, wherein the computer coded instructions, in execution with the at least one processor, configure the device to:
determine a promotion associated with a profile identifier; and
cause presentation of a wearer interface via a wearable device, the wearer interface comprising a wearer component associated with the promotion;
detect user input while the wearable device is in a redemption facing position, the user input indicating a request to display a redemption interface associated with the promotion; and
in response to detecting the user input, cause presentation of the redemption interface via the wearable device, the redemption interface comprising a redemption component for redeeming the promotion.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein to determine the promotion associated with the profile identifier, the device is configured to:
identify data associated with the profile identifier from one or more of a wearer parameters database and a merchant redemption parameters database;
generate, based on the data associated with the profile identifier, a relevancy output set corresponding to a possible promotion set; and
determine, from the possible promotion set, the promotion for the profile identifier based at least in part on the relevancy output set corresponding to the possible promotion set.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein to determine the promotion associated with the profile identifier, the device is configured to:
determine one or more relevant wearer components associated with the profile identifier, wherein the wearer interface comprises the one or more relevant wearer components associated with the profile identifier.

4. The device according to claim 1 , the device further configured to:
determine one or more relevant redemption components associated with the promotion; and
cause presentation of the redemption interface via the wearable device, the redemption interface comprising the one or more relevant redemption components associated with the promotion.

5. The device according to claim 1 , the device further configured to:
identify, via communication with the wearable device, the profile identifier based at least in part on user engagement with the wearable device.

6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein to determine the promotion associated with the profile identifier, the device is configured to:
retrieve item data; and
execute a context determination that compares each item represented in the item data to identify a relevant item that best satisfies a desired context,
wherein the promotion is associated with the relevant item.

7. The device according to claim 1 , the device further configured to:
receive an indication the wearable device is oriented to the redemption orientation; and
cause presentation, via the wearable device, of at least the redemption component for redeeming the promotion.

8. The device according to claim 1 , the device further configured to:
determine a user location; and
determine the user location is proximate to a provider location associated with the promotion.

9. A computer-implemented method comprising:
determining a promotion associated with a profile identifier; and
causing presentation of a wearer interface via a wearable device, the wearer interface comprising a wearer component associated with the promotion;
detecting user input while the wearable device is in a redemption facing position, the user input indicating a request to display a redemption interface associated with the promotion; and
in response to detecting the user input, cause presentation of the redemption interface via the wearable device, the redemption interface comprising a redemption component for redeeming the promotion.

10. The computer-implemented method according to claim 9 , wherein determining the promotion associated with the profile identifier comprises:
identifying data associated with the profile identifier from one or more of a wearer parameters database and a merchant redemption parameters database;
generating, based on the data associated with the profile identifier, a relevancy output set corresponding to a possible promotion set; and
determining, from the possible promotion set, the promotion for the profile identifier based at least in part on the relevancy output set corresponding to the possible promotion set.

11. The computer-implemented method according to claim 9 , wherein determining the promotion associated with the profile identifier comprises:
determining one or more relevant wearer components associated with the profile identifier, wherein the wearer interface comprises the one or more relevant wearer components associated with the profile identifier.

12. The computer-implemented method according to claim 9 , the computer-implemented method further comprising:
determining one or more relevant redemption components associated with the promotion; and
causing presentation of the redemption interface via the wearable device, the redemption interface comprising the one or more relevant redemption components associated with the promotion.

13. The computer-implemented method according to claim 9 , the computer-implemented method further comprising:
identifying, via communication with the wearable device, the profile identifier based at least in part on user engagement with the wearable device.

14. The computer-implemented method according to claim 9 , wherein determining the promotion associated with the profile identifier comprises:
retrieving item data; and
executing a context determination that compares each item represented in the item data to identify a relevant item that best satisfies a desired context,
wherein the promotion is associated with the relevant item.

15. The computer-implemented method according to claim 9 , the computer-implemented method further comprising:
receiving an indication the wearable device is oriented to the redemption orientation; and
causing presentation, via the wearable device, of at least the redemption component for redeeming the promotion.

16. The computer-implemented method according to claim 9 , the computer-implemented method further comprising:
determining a user location; and
determining the user location is proximate to a provider location associated with the promotion.

17. A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer program code stored thereon configured, in execution with at least one processor, for:
determining a promotion associated with a profile identifier; and
causing presentation of a wearer interface via a wearable device, the wearer interface comprising a wearer component associated with the promotion;
detecting user input while the wearable device is in a redemption facing position, the user input indicating a request to display a redemption interface associated with the promotion; and
in response to detecting the user input, causing presentation of the redemption interface via the wearable device, the redemption interface comprising a redemption component for redeeming the promotion.

18. The computer program product according to claim 17 , wherein determining the promotion associated with the profile identifier comprises:
identifying data associated with the profile identifier from one or more of a wearer parameters database an
