REMINDING USERS OF OFFERS

摘要

Provided is a computer implemented process for reminding users of offers that were discovered by the user at one location when, at a later time, the user is at another location, the process including: displaying, with a mobile device, an offer and a reminder interface to indicate that the user requests themselves or another reminder recipient to be reminded of the offer when near another computing device of the reminder recipient; receiving an interaction with the reminder interface by the user and, in response, storing a reminder request in memory, the reminder request identifying the offer; obtaining data identifying the other computing device, a geographic area of the other computing device, or a wireless environment of the other computing device; detecting, with a processor of the mobile device, that the reminder recipient has interacted with the other computing device, entered the geographic area, or entered the wireless environment; and in response to the detection, presenting a notification reminding the reminder recipient of the offer.

1. A method of reminding a user, with reminder sent to a mobile computing device, to access content on another computing device, such as a desktop computer, when the mobile computing device detects proximity to the other computing device and customizing content accessed with the other computing device based on the reminder, the method comprising:
sending, via a network, with one or more processors, content including a plurality of content items; after sending the content, receiving, via the network, with one or more processors, an indication that a user is to be reminded of a given one of the content items based on interaction with at least some of the content items; determining, with one or more processors, a geolocation at which the user is to be reminded and a first computing device both to detect the user's presence at the geolocation and upon which the user is to be reminded; receiving, with one or more processors, from an application executing on the first computing device, an indication that the user is at the geolocation; in response to receiving the indication that the user is at the geolocation, with one or more processors, sending the reminder to the first computing device or accessing a reminder previously sent to the first computing device; after sending or accessing the reminder, customizing, with one or more processors, content based on the given one of the content items for which the reminder was sent; and sending, via the network, with one or more processors, the customized content to a second computing device, different from the first computing device, such that the second computing device receives content customized as a result of the first computing device detecting that the user is at the geolocation.
