    • The method and apparatus for administering a reward program includes a central controller that stores a series of registrations, each of which corresponds to a purchaser of a product. The central controller calculates a measurement of product success, such as the number of products sold or the market share of the product, and determines if the measurement is within a predetermined range. The central controller may determine if the number of products sold exceeds a predetermined threshold, and a set of registrations are selected as “early-adopter” registrations that thereby define a set of early-adopter purchasers. The central controller may select a set of registrations having ordinal positions within a predetermined range of positions, so that early-adopter purchasers are defined. If the measurement of product success is within the predetermined range, a reward, such as a refund or a free product, may be provided to each early-adopter purchaser.
    • 用于管理奖励计划的方法和装置包括存储一系列注册的中央控制器,每个注册对应于产品的购买者。 中央控制器计算产品成功的度量,例如所销售产品的数量或产品的市场份额,并确定测量是否在预定范围内。 中央控制器可以确定所销售的产品的数量是否超过预定阈值,并且一组注册被选择为早期采用者注册,从而定义一组早期采用者购买者。 中央控制器可以在预定位置范围内选择具有序数位置的一组注册,从而定义早期采用者购买者。 如果产品成功的测量在预定范围内,则可以向每个早期采购者购买者提供奖励,例如退款或免费产品。
