CONSUMER TRACKING SYSTEM

1 . A computer implemented method, the method comprising:

receiving, on a local computing device, configuration data identifying a transaction or service provided to a user;

wherein the configuration data is arranged to enable a user device to access a payment request in respect of the transaction or service and an identifier dependent on the transaction data;

wherein the identifier comprises server access information adapted to enable the user device to access a server with the identifier thereby enabling an association or link to be made at the server between the user device and review data in respect of the transaction or service.

2 . A method according to claim 1 , further comprising

requesting and receiving, either on the local computing device or on the user device, from a remote server in dependence on the configuration data transaction data relating to the transaction or service;

requesting and receiving, either on the local computing device or on the user device, from the user review data in respect of the transaction or service and forwarding said review data to the server; and

transmitting to the user device a payment request in respect of the transaction or service and an identifier dependent on the transaction data.

3 . A method according to claim 2 , further comprising transmitting the configuration data to the user device.

4 . (canceled)

5 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein the configuration data is at least one of: received via direct input at the local computing device, received from a remote server, and determined in dependence on proximity or location data.

6 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein the review data is requested from the user via a review interface, the interface generated by the local computing device or received from the server.

7 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein the identifier is generated by the local computing device or received from the server.

8 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein the identifier and server access information are encoded into a transport medium readable by the user device such as a barcode, QR code, or URL and/or transmitted via a wireless protocol such as NFC or Bluetooth.

9 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein the server access information comprises instructions to the user device to access the server.

10 . A method according to claim 1 , further comprising forwarding to the user device further data in dependence on at least one of: review data and/or transaction data.

11 . A local computing device, the device comprising:

means for receiving configuration data identifying a transaction or service provided to a user;

means for requesting and receiving from a remote server in dependence on the configuration data transaction data relating to the transaction or service;

means for requesting and receiving from the user review data in respect of the transaction or service and forwarding said review data to the server; and

means for transmitting to the user device a payment request in respect of the transaction or service and an identifier dependent on the transaction data;

wherein the identifier comprises server access information adapted to enable the user device to access the server with the identifier thereby enabling an association or link to be made at the server between the user device and the review data in respect of the transaction or service.

15 . A local computing device according to claim 11 , wherein the configuration data is at least one of: received via direct input at the local computing device, received from a remote server and/or determined in dependence on proximity or location data.

16 . A local computing device according to claim 11 , wherein the identifier is generated by the local computing device or received from the server.

17 . A local computing device according to claim 11 , wherein the identifier and server access information are encoded into a transport medium readable by the user device such as a barcode, QR code, or URL and/or transmitted via a wireless protocol such as NFC or Bluetooth.

18 . A local computing device according to claim 11 , wherein the server access information comprises instructions to the user device to access the server.

19 . A local computing device according to claim 11 , further comprising means for forwarding to the user device further data in dependence on at least one of: review data and/or transaction data.

20 . A method performed on a computer server, the method comprising:

providing, in response to a request received from a local computing device or a user device, transaction data relating to the transaction or service provided to a user;

receiving from the local computing device or the user device review data in respect of the transaction or service;

receiving a connection request from the user device, the request comprising an identifier provided by the local computing device and dependent on the transaction data; and

associating the user device to the review data in respect of the transaction or service.

21 . A method according to claim 0 , further comprising:

receiving configuration data identifying a transaction or service from the local computing device; and

requesting and receiving transaction data relating to the transaction or service from an external entity such as a point-of-sale system.
