Systems and methods for lossless compression of data and high speed manipulation thereof

1. A method comprising:

determining, by a computer system, for each of a plurality of customer transactions, a level of the transaction from among a plurality of levels, wherein the plurality of levels are based on transaction value;

determining, by the computer system, a customer associated with each of the plurality of customer transactions, wherein a plurality of customers are associated with the plurality of customer transactions;

counting and maintaining, by the computer system, for the plurality of customer transactions, a number of transactions at each level in the plurality of levels, for each customer of the plurality of customers and for each of a plurality of merchants, over a first time period; and

causing, by the computer system, an offer to be provided to one of the plurality of customers based on the counting.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising aggregating, from multiple additional time periods, counts of a number of transactions at each level in the plurality of levels, for each customer of the plurality of customers at each of the plurality of merchants.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the offer is usable at one of the plurality of merchants.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said counting includes determining that a count of transactions for at least one of the plurality of levels, one of the plurality of customers, and one of the plurality of merchants over the first time period is zero.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the offer is associated with a first merchant and wherein the offer is based upon a count indicating one or more transactions by the customer with a second merchant.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said causing the offer to be provided is further based on an indication that the one of the plurality of customers is visiting a merchant associated with the offer.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said counting is performed in real time relative to the customer transactions.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that are executable by a computing device to perform operations comprising:

determining, for each of a plurality of customer transactions, a level of the transaction from among a plurality of levels, wherein the plurality of levels are based on transaction price;

determining a customer associated with each of the plurality of customer transactions;

counting, for the plurality of customer transactions, a number of transactions at each level in the plurality of levels, for each customer of a plurality of customers and for each of a plurality of merchants, over a first time period; and

causing an offer to be provided to one of the plurality of customers based on the counting.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , further comprising aggregating, over multiple additional time periods, counts of a number of transactions at each level in the plurality of levels, for each customer of the plurality of customers and for each of the plurality of merchants.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein counts for each merchant are maintained at a position in an array, wherein each position is based on a power of two assigned to a corresponding merchant.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein said causing the offer to be provided is further based on determining that a transaction occurred at one of the plurality of merchants during a particular time interval.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the offer is associated with a first merchant and wherein the offer is based upon a count indicating a transaction by the customer with a second merchant.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein said causing the offer to be provided is further based on an indication that the one of the plurality of customers is located near a merchant associated with the offer.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein said counting occurs in near real time relative to the customer transactions.

15. A system comprising:

one or more processor;

a tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that are executable by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

determining, for each of a plurality of customer transactions, a level of the transaction from among a plurality of levels, wherein the plurality of levels are based on transaction value;

determining a customer associated with each of the plurality of customer transactions, wherein a plurality of customers are associated with the plurality of customer transactions;

counting and storing, for the plurality of customer transactions, a number of transactions at each level in the plurality of levels, for each customer of the plurality of customers at each of a plurality of merchants, over a first time period; and

causing an offer to be provided to one of the plurality of customers based on the counting.

16. The system of claim 15 , further comprising aggregating the counting over multiple time periods.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the offer is usable at a merchant that is not included in the plurality of merchants.

18. The system of claim 15 , wherein said counting includes determining that a number of transactions for at least one of the plurality of levels, one of the plurality of customers, and one of the plurality of merchants over the first time period is zero.

19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the offer is associated with a first merchant and wherein the offer is based upon a count indicating a transaction by the customer with a second merchant.

20. The system of claim 15 , wherein said counting is performed for each transaction within 60 seconds of the transaction occurring.
