摘要： A method and system for collecting and categorizing survey data includes receiving customer information from a customer. A query is identified based at least in part on the customer information. The query is output for presentation to the customer. In one embodiment, the query is presented to the customer by prompting an employee, such as a clerk at a point-of-sale terminal, to verbally present the question to the customer. A customer response to the query is then received. The request from the customer may be, e.g., a request to purchase one or more products or it may be a request for assistance or information. The customer response is then captured and analyzed.

摘要： This invention relates generally to systems and methods for delivering products-on-demand to individuals and, more particularly, to delivery via vending machines. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the method of the instant invention is initiated when a customer makes an initial product selection. Based the customer's product choice, a determination is made as to whether or not that product qualifies for an alternate product offer. If it does not so qualify, the customer's original selection will be dispensed and the transaction ends. On the other hand, if the product does so qualify, the customer will be presented with an offer message that suggests that he or she should try an alternative product. Typically, the product that is offered as an alternative will be the one whose sale is most beneficial to the vending machine operator, e.g., the one yielding the greatest profit. If the customer accepts the alternate offer, the alternate product will be dispensed. However, if the customer declines the alternate product offer, the originally requested item will be vended. The particular circumstances under which an alternate product offer is presented to the customer are quantified by representing them as a collection of rules, the evaluation of which depends preferably on previously collected sales data.
摘要翻译：本发明一般涉及用于将产品按需提供给个人的系统和方法，更具体地涉及通过自动贩卖机递送的系统和方法。根据优选实施例，当客户进行初始产品选择时，启动本发明的方法。根据客户的产品选择，确定该产品是否符合替代产品报价。如果不符合条件，客户的原始选择将被分配，交易结束。另一方面，如果产品符合条件，客户将会收到一个报价信息，表明他或她应该尝试替代产品。通常，作为替代品提供的产品将是销售对自动售货机操作者最有利的产品，例如产生最大利润的产品。如果客户接受备用报价，则备用产品将被分配。然而，如果客户拒绝替代产品报价，则原始要求的产品将被销售。将替代产品提供给客户的特定情况通过将它们表示为规则的集合来量化，其评估优选地取决于先前收集的销售数据。

摘要： A point of sale system or other computer system stores a product pricing database in which a full price and discount prices corresponding to one or more discount pricing tiers are stored for each product available for sale. Each of the discount prices for a given product has an associated threshold purchase total that has to be satisfied before the discount price is applied to a transaction. When a transaction occurs, the purchase total for the transaction is first calculated on the basis of full retail prices for the products and the purchase total for the transaction is compared with one or more threshold purchase totals which correspond to the discount pricing tiers. If a discount pricing tier is applicable (e.g. the calculated purchase total for the transaction is at least equal to a threshold purchase total), the appropriate discount prices for each product in the transaction are retrieved and used to calculate a reduced purchase total for the transaction. Qualification for discount pricing can also be based on, for example, a customer's purchasing history, or the number of a certain type of product included in the transaction instead of the purchase total of a transaction.
摘要翻译：销售系统或其他计算机系统存储产品定价数据库，其中针对可出售的每个产品存储对应于一个或多个折扣价格层的全价和折扣价格。给定产品的每个折扣价格都有相关的门槛购买总额，在折扣价格应用于交易之前必须满足。当交易发生时，交易的购买总额首先根据产品的全部零售价格计算，并将交易的购买总额与对应于折扣价格层级的一个或多个门槛购买总额进行比较。如果适用折扣价格层级（例如交易的计算购买总额至少等于门槛购买总额），则会检索交易中每个产品的适当折扣价格，并用于计算交易的减少购买总额。折扣定价的资格也可以基于例如客户的采购历史，或交易中包括的特定类型的产品的数量，而不是交易的购买总额。

摘要： In one embodiment, a billing server receives charge data from a card authorization terminal. The charge data indicates a transaction amount, such as a purchase price, and a first financial account, such as a credit card account. The billing server determines a second financial account that corresponds to the first financial account. For example, the second financial account may be the financial account of an insurance company or other reimbursing party. The billing server also determines a reimbursement amount that corresponds to the first financial account. The second financial account is charged the reimbursement amount. Thus, a portion or all of the transaction amount is paid by a reimbursing party. The second financial account is only charged if a reimbursement rule is satisfied. For example, only purchases made at certain types of merchants may be reimbursed. In addition, the billing server may first request approval before charging the second financial account.

The bonus is provided to the customer in exchange for consummating a transaction with the soliciting merchant. Thus, the soliciting merchant benefits from the increased patronage such offers encourage.
