DIGITAL COMPANION WRAP PACKAGES ACCOMPANYING THE SALE OR LEASE OF A PRODUCT AND/OR SERVICE

摘要

Creating and delivering a digital companion in response to the sale and/or lease of a product and/or service. The digital companion is delivered in the form of a wrapped package of cards. With wrap packages, each card is selectively authored to include (i) media content, (ii) application functionality and/or (iii) e-commerce related services. In addition, the cards are authored in one or more linear sequences. With digital companion wrap packages, the user experience when browsing is largely dictated by the author/retailer, not the customer. As a result, digital companion wrap packages have the unique ability to convey a “story”, with an intertwined a palette of services, functions and experiences included therein, that unfolds as the individual cards are browsed in the one or more sequences, similar to the turning of the pages of a book.
