Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for visualizing user spending data in an altered reality are provided. Spending data includes items purchased, budgets for specific rooms or categories, prices paid, dates of purchase, and amounts spent. The user may interact within the altered reality to manage spending and move budgets between rooms or categories.

Claims (49)

1. A system, comprising:

a non-transitory memory; and

one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations comprising:

acquiring savings data corresponding to one or more savings goals set by a user;

determining, based on the acquired savings data, an amount saved towards each of the one or more savings goals set by the user;

generating an altered reality including interactive visual representations of one or more locations associated with the one or more savings goals, wherein at least one characteristic of each of the interactive visual representations is set based on the amount saved towards corresponding savings goals associated with the interactive visual representations, and wherein the at least one characteristic comprises an image corresponding to each of the one or more locations;

causing the generated altered reality to be displayed via a user interface; and

causing an icon to be presented in the generated altered reality displayed via the user interface, wherein a use of the icon to allocate funds from an account balance of the user to one of the one or more savings goals adjusts the image for a corresponding one of the one or more locations in the generated altered reality.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the acquired savings data is a baseline savings data, and wherein the operations further comprise:

acquiring refreshed savings data corresponding to the one or more savings goals set by the user;

determining that the refreshed savings data indicates a change in the amount saved towards at least one of the corresponding savings goals;

modifying the at least one characteristic of the interactive visual representations for the at least one of the corresponding savings goals for which the refreshed savings data indicates the change in the amount saved; and

propagating the modified at least one characteristic of the interactive visual representations to the generated altered reality caused to be displayed via the user interface.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more savings goals correspond to one or more vacation locations.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the image includes a graphical representation of the one or more vacation locations corresponding to the one or more locations.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the at least one characteristic includes an opacity of the graphical representation of the one or more vacation locations.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the opacity of the graphical representation of a corresponding vacation location is reduced as the amount saved for the corresponding vacation location increases towards a corresponding savings goal.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the generated altered reality further includes visual representations of a financial status of the user, the financial status including at least one of account balances or transaction history.

8. A method, comprising:

acquiring savings data corresponding to one or more savings goals set by a user;

determining, based on the acquired savings data, an amount saved towards each of the one or more savings goals set by the user;

generating an altered reality including interactive visual representations of one or more locations associated with the one or more savings goals, wherein at least one characteristic of each of the interactive visual representations is set based on the amount saved towards corresponding savings goals associated with the interactive visual representations, and wherein the at least one characteristic comprises an image corresponding to each of the one or more locations;

causing the generated altered reality to be displayed via a user interface; and

causing a transfer option to be presented in the generated altered reality displayed via the user interface, wherein a use of the transfer option to allocate funds from an account balance of the user to one of the one or more savings goals adjusts the image for a corresponding one of the one or more locations in the generated altered reality.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the acquired savings data is a baseline savings data, and wherein the method further comprises:

acquiring refreshed savings data corresponding to the one or more savings goals set by the user;

determining that the refreshed savings data indicates a change in the amount saved towards at least one of the corresponding savings goals;

modifying the at least one characteristic of the interactive visual representations for the at least one of the corresponding savings goals for which the refreshed savings data indicates the change in the amount saved; and

propagating the modified at least one characteristic of the interactive visual representations to the generated altered reality caused to be displayed via the user interface.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more savings goals correspond to one or more vacation locations.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the image includes a graphical representation of the one or more vacation locations corresponding to the one or more locations.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the at least one characteristic includes an opacity of the graphical representation of the one or more vacation locations.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the opacity of the graphical representation of a corresponding vacation location is reduced as the amount saved for the corresponding vacation location increases towards a corresponding savings goal.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the generated altered reality further includes visual representations of a financial status of the user, the financial status including at least one of account balances or transaction history.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon machine-readable instructions executable to cause a machine to perform operations comprising:

acquiring savings data corresponding to one or more savings goals set by a user;

determining, based on the acquired savings data, an amount saved towards each of the one or more savings goals set by the user;

generating an altered reality including interactive visual representations of one or more locations associated with the one or more savings goals, wherein at least one characteristic of each of the interactive visual representations is set based on the amount saved towards corresponding savings goals associated with the interactive visual representations, and wherein the at least one characteristic comprises an image corresponding to each of the one or more locations;

causing the generated altered reality to be displayed via a user interface; and

causing an interface element to be presented in the generated altered reality displayed via the user interface, wherein a use of the interface element to allocate funds from an account balance of the user to one of the one or more savings goals adjusts the image for a corresponding one of the one or more locations in the generated altered reality.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the acquired savings data is a baseline savings data, and wherein the operations further comprise:

acquiring refreshed savings data corresponding to the one or more savings goals set by the user;

determining that the refreshed savings data indicates a change in the amount saved towards at least one of the corresponding savings goals;

modifying the at least one characteristic of the interactive visual representations for the at least one of the corresponding savings goals for which the refreshed savings data indicates the change in the amount saved; and

propagating the modified at least one characteristic of the interactive visual representations to the generated altered reality caused to be displayed via the user interface.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the one or more savings goals correspond to one or more vacation locations.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the image includes a graphical representation of the one or more vacation locations corresponding to the one or more locations.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the at least one characteristic includes an opacity of the graphical representation of the one or more vacation locations.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the opacity of the graphical representation of a corresponding vacation location is reduced as the amount saved for the corresponding vacation location increases towards a corresponding savings goal.
