Location-Based Multiplier Notification System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to provide location-based multiplier recommendations that align with users' interests, as the categories or merchants eligible for multipliers are often defined by issuers and may not match user preferences.
Innovation Solution
A computer server system that receives location data from a user's device, determines proximity to specific merchants, and generates notifications with multiplier offers. The system allows users to select categories and merchants for multipliers, adjust multipliers, and accept or reject offers, thereby personalizing the multiplier recommendations based on user location and preferences.

1Extent of automation
If the system provides multiplier recommendations based on issuer-defined categories, then the system can automatically generate multiplier offers, but the recommendations may not align with user interests and preferences
Solution Approach 1:
The system monitors user interactions with multiplier notifications (acceptances, rejections, adjustments) and uses this feedback to learn user preferences. The processor updates user preference data based on these interactions, enabling the system to adapt future recommendations to better match user interests while maintaining automated operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by proactively notifying users of potential multiplier opportunities before they make purchasing decisions. By providing advance notice and allowing users to accept, reject, or adjust multipliers in advance, the system enables users to plan their spending to maximize rewards while maintaining automated recommendation generation.
2Productivity
If the system provides location-based multiplier notifications, then the system can enhance user engagement with relevant offers, but the system requires continuous location data processing and notification management
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically processes location data from the user device and generates appropriate multiplier notifications without requiring manual user input. The processor continuously monitors location data, compares it with merchant locations, and autonomously determines when to send notifications, reducing the complexity burden on the user while maintaining high productivity in engagement enhancement.

AI summary
A computer server system comprises a communications module; a processor coupled with the communications module; and a memory coupled to the processor and storing processor-executable instructions which, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to receive, via the communications module and from a computing device, a signal including location data indicating a location of a user; determine, based on the location data, that the user is located within a threshold distance of a particular merchant; generate a notification indicating a particular multiplier for the particular merchant; and send, via the communications module and to the computing device, a signal causing the computing device to display the notification, the notification including an option to accept the particular multiplier for the particular merchant.
