Appl. No.:

13/744141

Inventors:

Gaston L'Huillier - Cambridge MA, US

Assignee:

GROUPON, INC. - Chicago IL

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707748, 707755

Abstract:

The email suggestor system and method provide an efficient and effective way to capture a user identifier, such as an email address of a consumer in a retail environment. The email suggestor system generates one or more suggested first text portions based on input data, outputs at least one of the suggested first text portions, and receives a selection of a first text portion. The email suggestor system generates one or more suggested second text portions of a user identifier based on the input data, outputs at least one of the suggested second text portions, and receives a selection of a second text portion. The email suggestor system generates a user identifier including the selected first text portion and the selected second text portion. The email suggestor system uses received feedback response to refine and/or train one or more models with which it generates the suggested text portions.

Abstract:

The early adopters and potential influencers (EAPI) system, method and computer-readable medium provide a way to identify early adopters and potential influencers. The EAPI system obtains a list of purchases for customers of merchants and/or subscriptions from a transaction tracking system. The EAPI system creates a time-based transaction network, and using a scoring function, the EAPI system determines an early adopter and/or potential influencer ranking among customers in the network. The EAPI system may use one or more customer attributes to determine a customer's influence with respect to different dimensions.
