Management of dynamic mobile coupons

摘要

Providing for network-based management of dynamic mobile coupons (DMCs) employed in mobile device-related commerce is described herein. Management can include mitigating processing load involved in processing dynamic characteristics of a set of DMCs, facilitating post-transaction evaluation of DMCs, or facilitating a virtual shopping experience in conjunction with redeeming DMCs in a mobile-commerce environment. Communicative association between a mobile device and network components can be implemented to leverage data collected by the mobile device with communication and processing capabilities of the network. Dynamic DMC states are determined from the collected data, which are implemented to facilitate the mobile-commerce. The disclosure provides an integrated mechanism for efficient utilization of DMCs to enhance user experience and satisfaction with mobile commerce.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
employing a data processor to execute instructions for managing a dynamic mobile coupon (DMC), the instructions causing the data processor to:
assign the DMC to a target mobile device;establish an initial state of a variable characteristic of the DMC based on a factor pertinent to the target mobile device or a user account related to such device; and toggling a variability state of the DMC by suspending variability of the variable characteristic when the data processor exceeds a processing load threshold associated with processing DMC characteristics, and/or restoring variability of the suspended variable characteristic when the data processor falls below the processing load threshold; employing a communication interface to obtain data pertinent to the DMC; and employing the data processor to manage a state of a DMC account associated with the target mobile device based on the data pertinent to the DMC.
