Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for aggregating digital services in a bundle for a user. In accordance with one implementation, a method includes displaying, on a device of the user, a plurality of available digital services, the plurality of available digital services being implemented by more than one service provider. The method also includes receiving, from the user, a selection of a set of services from the plurality of available digital services. In addition, the method includes providing, by at least one processor, a bundle to enable the user to access and use the set of selected services.

Claims (56)

1 . A computer-implemented method for aggregating digital services in a bundle, the method comprising:

displaying, on a device of a first user, a plurality of available services, the plurality of available services being implemented by more than one service provider;

receiving, from the first user, a selection of a set of services from the plurality of available services; and

providing, by at least one processor, a bundle to enable the first user to access and use the set of selected services.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the device of the first user includes at least one of a web browser or application.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of available services comprise at least one of a service subscription, a redeemable coupon, or an exclusive discount.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

displaying, on the device the first user, a representation of the bundle in a graphical user interface.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the first user, a request to share at least one service in the bundle with a second user;

notifying a service provider of the request to share the at least one service with the second user; and

restricting, by at least one processor, access and use of the shared at least one service by the first user.

6 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

electronically notifying the second user of the shared at least one service.

7 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

receiving, from the first user, a request to reclaim a shared at least one service in the bundle from the second user;

notifying a service provider of the request to reclaim the shared at least one service; and

providing, to the first user, access and use of the shared at least one service after it has been reclaimed from the second user.

8 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

enabling the shared at least one service so that it is accessible to the second user for a predetermined period of time.

9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

providing the bundle of selected services to the first user at a discounted price.

10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the first user, a selection of at least one of a prepackaged set of services or a customized set of services.

11 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

generating, by the at least one processor, a first token associating the first user with the shared at least one service in the bundle; and

generating, by the at least one processor, a second token associating the second user with the first user and the shared at least one service in the bundle.

12 . A system for aggregating digital services in a bundle, the system comprising:

at least one processor;

a memory device that stores a set of instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

display, on a device of a first user, a plurality of available services, the plurality of available services being implemented by more than one service provider;

receive, from the first user, a selection of a set of services from the plurality of available services; and

provide, using at least one processor, a bundle to enable the first user to access and use the set of selected services.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the device of the first user includes at least one of a web browser or application.

14 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the plurality of available services comprise at least one of a service subscription, a redeemable coupon, or an exclusive discount.

15 . The system of claim 12 , further comprising instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

display, on the device of the first user, a representation of the bundle in a graphical user interface.

16 . The system of claim 12 , further comprising instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

receive, from the first user, a request to share at least one service in the bundle with a second user;

notify a service provider of the request to share the at least one service with the second user; and

restrict, by at least one processor, access and use of the shared at least one service by the first user.

17 . The system of claim 16 , further comprising instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

electronically notify the second user of the shared at least one service.

18 . The system of claim 16 , further comprising instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

receive, from the first user, a request to reclaim a shared at least one service in the bundle from the second user;

notify a service provider of the request to reclaim the shared at least one service; and

provide, to the first user, access and use of the shared at least one service after it has been reclaimed from the second user.

19 . The system of claim 16 , further comprising instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

enable the shared at least one service so that it is accessible to the second user for a predetermined period of time.

20 . The system of claim 12 , further comprising instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

provide the bundle of selected services to the first user at a discounted price.

21 . The system of claim 12 , further comprising instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

receive, from the first user, a selection of at least one of a prepackaged set of services or a customized set of services.

22 . The system of claim 16 , further comprising instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

generate a first token associating the first user with the shared at least one service in the bundle; and

generate a second token associating the second user with the first user and the shared at least one service in the bundle.
