Disclosed are systems and methods that time correlate input at a point of entry of consumer data of least two identifications for products, prescriptions, vouchers, or codes, uses positive correlation determinations for triggering output of predetermined information. The time correlation of identifications may be used to build a time correlation database, and thereafter use that database for targeted communications. Related inventions include an intelligent Y cable or the like to filter data transmitted from a scanner at a point of entry of consumer data, and a novel POS CS configured to receive bar codes that would otherwise cause the POS CS to enter an error condition. |

1. A method of correlating information received in relation to purchase transactions and providing promotions based on the correlated information, the method being implemented by one or more processors programmed with computer program instructions, the method comprising:
receiving, by the one or more processors, an item identification that identifies an item related to a purchase transaction, wherein the item identification is associated with a first time of receipt; receiving, by the one or more processors, a communication from a mobile device in relation to the purchase transaction; identifying, by the one or more processors, a mobile device identification that identifies the mobile device based on the communication, wherein the mobile device identification is associated with a second time of receipt; determining, by the one or more processors, that a difference between the first time of receipt and the second time of receipt is within a predefined time window; determining, by the one or more processors, that the item identification and the mobile device identification are associated with the purchase transaction based on the determination that the difference between the first time of receipt and the second time of receipt is within the predefined time window; identifying, by the one or more processors, a promotion based on the purchase transaction; and providing, by the one or more processors, the promotion to the mobile device. |
