Official abstract text for this publication.
A method is provided that includes receiving, in a server, a request from a service provider, the request including a consumer identification code associated with a consumer, and obtaining a personalized list of universal product codes based on the consumer identification code and a purchase history log in a database. The method also includes providing the personalized list of universal product codes to the service provider, and receiving a tracking pixel indicative that the consumer has interacted with a consumer payload, wherein the consumer payload is associated with at least one product from the personalized list of universal product codes. A system and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions which cause the system to perform the above method are also disclosed.
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: evaluating a purchase history of a consumer based on a hierarchy of a universal product code provided by a retailer; scoring a product to form a product list; padding the product list with a default universal product code when the purchase history is exhausted before completing a pre-selected quota; providing the product list to a remote server for assembling a digital payload for a consumer; assembling a digital payload including media files associated with each of the products in the product list; providing the digital payload to the consumer; receiving a tracking pixel indicative that the consumer has interacted with the digital payload; and notifying, in response to the tracking pixel, a retailer, that the consumer has interacted with the digital payload in response to a tracking pixel triggered by a client device with the consumer upon downloading the digital payload. 2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising filtering out a product when a score of the product identified by the universal product code is less than a threshold, to form the product list. 3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , further comprising selecting the threshold as a percentage number of retailer stores that have the product identified by the universal product code in stock. 4. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , further comprising selecting the threshold as a percentage number of times the product identified by the universal product code appears in the purchase history of the consumer. 5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein scoring the product: is based on at least on one of a purchase probability of the product by the consumer, a value of the product, and a stock availability of the product identified by the universal product code at the retailer; and comprises weighting the score positively when a geolocation of the consumer overlaps with a geolocation of a retailer store having the product identified by the universal product code in stock. 6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, from the remote server, a request from a service provider, the request including an identification code associated with the consumer. 7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein to form a product list comprises selecting a personalized list of universal product codes based on a consumer identification code and a purchase history log in a database. 8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, from the remote server, a tracking pixel indicative that the consumer has interacted with the digital payload. 9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein filtering out a product to form a list comprises filtering out the product based on a time interval cutoff from the purchase history of the consumer in a database. 10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein to form a list comprises selecting universal product codes associated with products that are for sale at a retail store serviced by the remote server. 11. A system, comprising: one or more processors; and a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to: evaluate a purchase history of a consumer based on a hierarchy of a universal product code provided by a retailer; score a product to form a product list; pad the product list with a default universal product code when the purchase history is exhausted before completing a pre-selected quota; provide the product list to a remote server for assembling a digital pay load for a consumer; assemble a digital payload including media files associated with each of the products in the product list; provide the digital payload to the consumer; receive a tracking pixel indicative that the consumer has interacted with the digital payload; and notify, in response to the tracking pixel, a retailer, that the consumer has interacted with the digital payload in response to a tracking pixel triggered by a client device with the consumer upon downloading the digital payload. 12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors further execute instructions to filter out a product when a score of the product identified by the universal product code is less than a threshold, to form the product list. 13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more processors further execute instructions to select the threshold as a percentage number of retailer stores that have the product identified by the universal product code in stock. 14. The system of claim 12 , wherein to form the product list, the one or more processors execute instructions to select multiple products based on a time interval cutoff from the purchase history of the consumer in a database. 15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors execute instructions to score the product: based on at least on one of a purchase probability of the product by the consumer, a value of the product, and a stock availability of the product identified by the universal product code at the retailer; and by weighting the score positively when a geolocation of the consumer overlaps with a geolocation of a retailer store having the product identified by the universal product code in stock. 16. The system of claim 11 , wherein to form the product list, the one or more processors execute instructions to select a universal product code associated with a product that is for sale at a retail store serviced by the remote server. 17. The system of claim 11 , wherein to form the product list, the one or more processors execute instructions to train a non-linear algorithm for classifying a consumer identification code based on the purchase history of the consumer, and to identify a likelihood that a consumer associated with the consumer identification code will purchase a product in the product list. 18. The system of claim 11 , wherein to form the product list, the one or more processors execute instructions to integrate the product list with an application programming interface hosted by the remote server and to provide a product picture, a product description, or a product pricing with the product list. 19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors further execute instructions to request, from the remote server, a data element associated with at least one product in the product list, and to edit an advertisement for the consumer based on the data element. 20. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors further execute instructions to provide a measurement data to the remote server based on a consumer interaction with the digital payload.
