Abstract

Systems and methods are described for a point-of-recognition optimizer system configured to optimize onsite user purchases at a physical location. In various aspects, a purchasable-unit identifier (ID) may be received via a computer transmission, where the purchasable-unit ID, as identified by an optimizer device, is associated with a recognized purchasable-unit located onsite with the optimizer device. Based on the purchasable-unit ID, a plurality of competing purchasable-units may be identified, which may be either onsite or offsite purchasable-units. An offer is transmitted via a second computer transmission for an offered purchasable-unit to the optimizer device where the offer originates from an outbidding purchasable-unit distributor, and where the outbidding purchasable-unit distributor outbid other competing purchasable-unit distributors, each distributor corresponding to the plurality of competing purchasable-units, for an opportunity for the optimizer device to receive the offer.

Claims (16)

1. A point-of-recognition optimizer system configured to optimize user purchases at a physical location, the point-of-recognition optimizer system comprising:

a computer memory operating to store instructions to optimize user purchases at the physical location; and

a processor operating to execute the instructions,

the processor and the computer memory comprising an optimizer server, the processor executing the instructions on the optimizer server to:

(a) receive at the optimizer server, via a computer transmission from an optimizer device associated with a user, a purchasable-unit identifier (ID) associated with a recognized purchasable-unit, the purchasable-unit ID identified by the optimizer device, wherein the recognized purchasable-unit is located onsite at the physical location with the optimizer device,

(b) determine a plurality of competing purchasable-units based on the purchasable-unit ID, the determination including the optimizer server sending the purchasable-unit ID to one or more distributor servers associated with a plurality of competing purchasable-unit distributors, and the optimizer server receiving one or more offers from the one or more distributor servers corresponding to the plurality of competing purchasable-units, the plurality of competing purchasable-units located either onsite at the physical location or offsite of the physical location, and

(c) transmit from the optimizer server, via a second computer transmission to the optimizer device, an offer for an offered purchasable-unit, the offer originating from the one or more distributor servers of an outbidding purchasable-unit distributor, the offer chosen from the one or more offers, wherein the one or more distributor servers of the outbidding purchasable-unit distributor outbid the one or more distributor servers of all other distributors from the plurality of competing purchasable-unit distributors for an opportunity of the optimizer device to receive the offer.

2. The point-of-recognition optimizer system of claim 1 , wherein the user is associated with a user-centric information profile having user-centric information, the user-centric information including at least one of short-term term purchase history of the user or long-term purchase history of the user.

3. The point-of-recognition optimizer system of claim 2 , wherein the one or more processors and one or more computer memories are configured to enable the outbidding purchasable-unit distributor to receive or access the user-centric information associated with the user to generate the offer.

4. The point-of-recognition optimizer system of claim 1 , wherein a machine learning model is trained based on user-centric information of one or more users, and wherein the outbidding purchasable-unit distributor receives or accesses a user action score of the user generated from the machine learning model based on the user's user-centric information of the user's user-centric information profile.

5. The point-of-recognition optimizer system of claim 4 , wherein the user action score defines a probability of the user to engage in a purchase of at least one of the plurality of competing purchasable-units.

6. The point-of-recognition optimizer system of claim 1 , wherein the optimizer device displays an updated cost savings value based on the offer from the outbidding purchasable-unit distributor.

7. The point-of-recognition optimizer system of claim 4 , wherein the offer includes an offer value, and wherein the offer value is based on the user's user-centric information.

8. The point-of-recognition optimizer system of claim 2 , wherein the optimizer device includes an optical unit, wherein the user-centric information profile is further updated with additional information sourced from the optical unit.

9. The point-of-recognition optimizer system of claim 2 , wherein the optimizer device includes a display unit and an input unit, wherein the display unit is operable to display the offer and the user-centric information to the user, and wherein the input unit is operable to receive login information for activating the optimizer device and receive user-centric information for further updating the user-centric information profile.

10. The point-of-recognition optimizer system of claim 2 , wherein the user-centric information is verified against trusted information of the user.
