Application: Systems and methods for facilitating purchases (Patent ID: US20240046320A1)
The patent filed by USAA describes methods and systems for a program involving merchants and consumers. The method involves receiving a wish list from a user, publishing it to participating merchants, determining the user's location, receiving offers from merchants based on the user's location, calculating the total cost of the offer, and notifying the user. The system includes processors and memories to execute the process, which also involves providing a device location, receiving offers, sending an indication of lack of funds, and receiving an offer for a line of credit to cover the cost.
The claims detail the steps involved in the method, such as selecting items or services, providing location information, receiving offers, sending notifications, and accepting a line of credit offer. The system and non-transitory computer-readable medium also outline additional operations like publishing events to merchants, receiving second offers, depositing funds into an escrow account, sending notifications of credit acceptance, and receiving receipts for services. The patent also specifies that the line of credit can be funded by program participants or the organization operating the program, with interest received on the credit. Additionally, the total cost of offers may include transportation costs based on the user's location.
