Alternatively, a user may travel to an establishment (e.g., a restaurant, store, etc.) and then execute atransaction using device 10. In some embodiments,device 10 may include a near field communication (NFC) device enabling the device to execute transactions via, for example, point-of-sale terminals at retailers, etc. In response to the transaction being executed, a credit may be provided to one or more entities as discussed above. - According to another embodiment, the input may include an entry in an information management application (e.g., a contact entry, a mailing list entry, a calendar appointment, etc.) running either on
processor 40 or on a remote server or processor. For example, in response to receiving advertisement data on a device such asdevice 10, a user may create a new contact entry, a new calendar entry, or permit data to be transferred to a remote server or processor (e.g., in the case of an advertiser wanting to generate a mailing list, phone list, etc.). Furthermore, the input may include the initiation of acommunication utilizing device 10 and directed toward an entity associated with the advertisement data (e.g., a retailer, restaurant, etc.). The communication may include a wireless telephone call, an email, a text message, SMS, or any other type of message initiated or attempted to be place-usingdevice 10. - A variety of other inputs may be received in response to providing the advertisement data to
device 10. According to various exemplary embodiments, the input or inputs may include or be based on inputs received via device 10 (e.g., via a keyboard, touch screen, microphone, etc.), or may be based on inputs received as a result of actions taken that involve device 10 (e.g., executing atransaction using device 10, movingdevice 10 to a geographic location, etc.). In some embodiments,device 10 may be configured such that a camera or other device may capture a user's expression (e.g. facial expression, etc.) upon the advertisement data being provided, thereby providing an indication of potential user excitement, enthusiasm, etc. in response to the advertisement data (in response to which a credit may be provided in some embodiments). - According to various exemplary embodiments, a variety of revenue models may be used in conjunction with
device 10 in providing advertisement data todevice 10, and credits may be provided to a variety of parties dependent on the revenue model utilized. For example, as discussed above, one or more credits may be provided todevice 10,servers device 10. In some embodiments, an accounting system (e.g., application, program, code, etc.) maybe provided ondevice 10, one ofservers - Referring to
FIG. 7 , according to an exemplary embodiment, a multi-tier revenue generation model may be used. Each tier of the multi-tier model represents an additional input or other action taken in response to the advertisement data or previous input or action. As shown inFIG. 7 , advertisement data may be provided to device 10 (step 72). An input is then received in response to the advertising data (step 74). In response to the input, a credit may be provided to one or more entities (e.g., todevice 10 or to one or more ofservers FIG. 7 are substantially similar to steps 62-66 shown and discussed with respect toFIG. 6 . However, the method illustrated inFIG. 7 provides for additional credits to be generated and/or provided. For example, after the credit is provided (step 76) an additional input may be received (e.g., a transaction being executed after an initial input of a selection of a Link) (step 80). In response to the additional input, an (step 82) additional credit may be provided to any of the entities described herein. This process may continue as additional advertisement data is provided (return to step 78) and/or additional inputs are received (return to step 80) and, in response, further credits are provided. - In some embodiments, the monetary amount or value of the credit may be based on a variety of factors. For example, the amount of a credit may be based on the cost of goods and/or services purchased or, the credit may include a discount on goods purchased. Alternatively, the amount of the credit may be based on a pre-existing agreement such as an advertisement agreement where, for example, the purchase price of
device 10 may be reduced or eliminated in exchange for a user permitting advertisement data or advertisement data of a certain type to be delivered todevice 10 or in exchange for the user providing user data to one ofservers device 10. - According to yet other embodiments, the amount of the credit may vary between tiers of a multi-tier revenue generation model. In such an arrangement, the amount of the credit may increase (or alternatively, decrease, stay the same, vary according to a number of factors, and so on) with each tier. For example, a user may be provided with an advertisement for a restaurant that includes a link to a web site for the restaurant. Should a user select the link, the user may be directed to the restaurant's website and the user's account may be provided with a first credit. The user may then generate a dinner reservation (e.g., in the form of a calendar entry in device 10), upon which a second (e.g., greater) credit may be provided. Further, when the user arrives at the restaurant (with device 10) an additional credit (e.g., greater than one or more preceding credits) may be generated based on the user being at the geographic location associated with the advertisement data. Further yet, should the user execute a transaction (e.g., pay for a meal) with
device 10, yet another credit (e.g., greater than one or more preceding credits) may be generated. As discussed above, the amount of the credits may vary between tiers and credits maybe provided to other accounts beyond accounts associated withdevice 10. - The use of a multi-tiered revenue generation system as that described herein may in some embodiments provide many benefits, including providing an additional incentive to users to react to advertisement data and providing sources of advertisements (e.g., restaurants, retailers, etc.) with the potential for enhanced revenues due to increased sales, etc. It should be noted that a variety of parties or entities (e.g.,
servers - While the detailed drawings, specific examples and particular formulations given describe exemplary embodiments, they serve the purpose of illustration only.
