Abstract

Provided herein are method, apparatus, and computer program products for automatically outputting a wearer interface or a redemption interface. The wearer interface and the redemption interface may contain information related to a wearer of a wearable device and a provider respectively. The wearable device may reference a merchant redemption parameters database to facilitate the output of the redemption interface, and the wearable device my reference a wearer parameters database to facilitate the output of the wearer interface. Both the wearer interface and the redemption interface may be displayed on the wearable device by an interactive display.

Claims (50)

1. A wearable device movable between a wearer facing position and a redemption position, the wearable device comprising at least a processor and a memory associated with the processor having computer coded instructions stored thereon, wherein the computer coded instructions, in execution with the processor, configure the wearable device to:

identify a promotion associated with a user profile, wherein the promotion is indicated as not yet redeemed;

render a wearer interface to an interactive display of the wearable device upon determining the wearable device is oriented in a wearer facing position;

determine the wearable device is oriented in the redemption facing position; and

render, to the interactive display of the wearable device, a redemption interface in response to the determination that the wearable device is oriented in the redemption facing position,

wherein the redemption interface comprises a redemption component associated with the promotion not yet redeemed, and wherein the redemption component enables the wearable device to be utilized for redemption of the promotion at a provider location.

2. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the promotion is associated with previous purchase history data for the user profile.

3. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the redemption component comprises a redemption code configured for processing by a provider device associated with a provider located at the provider location.

4. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein to identify the promotion, the wearable device is configured to:

determine a device location associated with the wearable device; and

identify the promotion is associated with provider data identifying a provider, wherein the provider is associated with the provider location and the provider location is determined as proximate to the device location.

5. The wearable device of claim 1 , the wearable device further configured to:

activate, in response input data, the redemption code for redemption by a provider associated with the provider location.

6. The wearable device of claim 1 , the wearable device further configured to:

receive user input data indicating a user intent to redeem the promotion,

wherein the redemption interface is rendered in response to (1) the determination that the wearable device is oriented in the redemption facing position and (2) the received user input data indicating the user intent to redeem the promotion.

7. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the wearer interface comprises the wearer component and at least one additional wearer component.

8. A computer-implemented method comprising:

identifying, via a wearable device, a promotion associated with a user profile, wherein the promotion is indicated as not yet redeemed;

rendering a wearer interface via the wearable device upon determining the wearable device is oriented in a wearer facing position;

determining, via the wearable device, the wearable device is oriented in the redemption facing position; and

rendering, via the wearable device, a redemption interface in response to the determination that the wearable device is oriented in the redemption facing position,

wherein the redemption interface comprises a redemption component associated with the promotion not yet redeemed, and wherein the redemption component enables the wearable device to be utilized for redemption of the promotion at a provider location.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein the promotion is associated with previous purchase history data for the user profile.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein the redemption component comprises a redemption code configured for processing by a provider device associated with a provider located at the provider location.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein identifying the promotion comprises:

determining a device location associated with the wearable device; and

identifying the promotion is associated with provider data identifying a provider, wherein the provider is associated with the provider location and the provider location is determined as proximate to the device location.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , the computer-implemented method further comprising:

activating, in response input data, the redemption code for redemption by a provider associated with the provider location.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , the computer-implemented method further comprising:

receiving user input data indicating a user intent to redeem the promotion,

wherein the redemption interface is rendered in response to (1) the determination that the wearable device is oriented in the redemption facing position and (2) the received user input data indicating the user intent to redeem the promotion.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein the wearer interface comprises the wearer component and at least one additional wearer component.

15. A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer program code stored thereon, wherein the computer program code in execution with a wearable device configures the wearable device for:

identifying, via a wearable device, a promotion associated with a user profile, wherein the promotion is indicated as not yet redeemed;

rendering a wearer interface via the wearable device upon determining the wearable device is oriented in a wearer facing position;

determining, via the wearable device, the wearable device is oriented in the redemption facing position; and

rendering, via the wearable device, a redemption interface in response to the determination that the wearable device is oriented in the redemption facing position,

wherein the redemption interface comprises a redemption component associated with the promotion not yet redeemed, and wherein the redemption component enables the wearable device to be utilized for redemption of the promotion at a provider location.

16. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the promotion is associated with previous purchase history data for the user profile.

17. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the redemption component comprises a redemption code configured for processing by a provider device associated with a provider located at the provider location.

18. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein identifying the promotion comprises:

determining a device location associated with the wearable device; and

identifying the promotion is associated with provider data identifying a provider, wherein the provider is associated with the provider location and the provider location is determined as proximate to the device location.

19. The computer program product of claim 15 , the compute program product further comprising computer program code for:

activating, in response input data, the redemption code for redemption by a provider associated with the provider location.

20. The computer program product of claim 15 , the compute program product further comprising computer program code for:

receiving user input data indicating a user intent to redeem the promotion,

wherein the redemption interface is rendered in response to (1) the determination that the wearable device is oriented in the redemption facing position and (2) the received user input data indicating the user intent to redeem the promotion.
