An apparatus configured to output a user interface depicting a plurality of locations to a merchant device and related methods and computer program products are discussed herein. The apparatus is configured, according to some embodiments, to associate beacon identifier data that identifies a plurality of communication beacons with a plurality of locations of interest. The apparatus is further configured to output a user interface indicating that a consumer device is located at a particular location of interest based at least in part on consumer presence data received from the consumer device. In some embodiments, the user interface comprises a consumer profile record associated with the consumer presence data. In some embodiments, message data is received and used to generate merchant messages.

Beacon-based device location interface

Embodiments provide a computer-executed method, a computer system and computer-program product for facilitating a transaction. The method includes transmitting computer-executable instructions to cause a representation of an item to be displayed on a consumer interface rendered on a visual display of a computing device. The method also includes receiving, from the computing device, an indication of a compound consumer input associated with a consumer and performed using the consumer interface. The method further includes, based on a determination that the compound consumer input corresponds to a purchase command, retrieving information previously stored for the consumer, generating an order to purchase the item for the consumer, and transmitting an order confirmation configured to be displayed by the computing device.

Method and system for facilitating consumer interactions for performing purchase commands

Embodiments provide a computer-executed method, a computer system and computer program product for facilitating a commercial transaction. The method includes transmitting computer-executable instructions to cause a representation of an item to be displayed on a consumer interface rendered on a visual display of a computing device associated with a consumer. The method also includes receiving, from the computing device, an indication of consumer input performed using the consumer interface, the consumer input associated with the representation of the item available for a commercial transaction. The method also includes receiving, from the computing device, biometric information associated with the consumer. The method also includes determining an identity of the consumer based on the biometric information and, based on the identity of the consumer, associating the consumer input with a predetermined command defined for the consumer. The method further includes transmitting computer-executable instructions to facilitate a transaction associated with the command with respect to the item.

Method and system for use of biometric information associated with consumer interactions

Embodiments provide a computer-executed method, a computer system and non-transitory computer-readable media for facilitating consumer interaction with a consumer interface. The method includes displaying a representation of an item on a consumer interface rendered on a visual display of a computing device. The method also includes storing, on a non-transitory computer-readable medium: a predefined first association between a first compound consumer input and a first command such that receipt of the first compound consumer input at the consumer interface initiates the first command, and a predefined second association between a second compound consumer input and a second command such that receipt of the second compound consumer input at the consumer interface initiates the second command. The method further includes, upon detection of the first compound consumer input entered at the consumer interface, initiating execution of the first command in relation to the item; and, upon detection of the second compound consumer input entered at the consumer interface, initiating execution of the second command in relation to the item.
