- CSS 202 may receive identification information for portable device 102. In this case, CSS 202 uses the identification information to change the participation status in host 106. Then, when portable device 102 is subsequently inserted into acceptance point device 104 or Internet system 108, parameter 112 will be updated to indicate the changed participation status. When portable device 102 is subsequently updated, any process described above and below may be used.
- FIG. 3 is a flowchart 300 illustrating a method for changing a participation status for portable device 102 using acceptance point device 104 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The method will be described with reference to Figs. 1 and 2.
- step 302 acceptance point device 104 communicates with portable device
- portable device 102 may be inserted into acceptable point device 104. Also, portable device 102 may communicate with acceptance point device 104 through a wireless or wireline connection.
- an indication that a change in participation status is received at acceptance point device 104.
- the indication may be generated by a user of portable device 102 inputting his her request using a keypad associated with acceptance point device 104.
- the participation status maybe specified according to different levels.
- ECR 204 receives the change participation status request and also receives the card image data from loyalty module 110 of portable device 102.
- the card image data includes parameter 112, which indicates the participauon status for portable device 102.
- ECR 204 establishes a connection with OPE 206 and sends the card image data containing parameter 112 to OPE 206. Additionally, ECR 204 sends the change participation status request to OPE 206. For example, the consumer may have chosen to opt-out of or opt-in to one or more loyalty programs at the program level. OPE 206 uses the appropriate software components corresponding to the relevant loyalty program(s) to handle the transaction accordingly.
- OPE 206 checks the current status of parameter 112 with the change participation status request to determine if the request is valid in light of the current status indicated by parameter 112. If the status of parameter 112 is active, then a request to change the status to active is not allowed. Similarly, if the status of parameter 112 is inactive, then a request to change the status to inactive is not allowed.
- OPE 206 determines if the request is valid. In step 312, if the request is not valid, OPE 206 returns an error message to ECR 204. ECR 204 then returns the error message to portable device 102 in step 313. ECR 204 may also indicate to the user that the submitted request is not valid.
- OPE 206 changes parameter 112 to an indication that reflects the requested participation status. For example, parameter 112 is changed to an active indication if the request was for opting into a loyalty program and changes parameter 112 to an inactive indication if the request was for opting out of a loyalty program.
- the error checking described above can be alternatively viewed as checking for redundancy. If the request is consistent with the current status of parameter 112, then no action is taken to effect the request. For example, if the status of parameter 112 is active, then a request to change the status to active would be redundant; hence, the request will not be effected. If it is determined that the request is redundant, then OPE 20b promptly relays the appropriate message to portable device 102.
- step 316 OPE 206 sends the updated card image data to ECR 204.
- step 318 ECR 204 authenticates portable device 102.
- step 320 ECR 204 updates the card image data m portable device 102 usmg the updated card image data received from OPE 206. Specifically, parameter 112 is updated in portable device 102.
- step 322 ECR 204 sends a response message to OPE 206 that indicates whether the card update was successful or unsuccessful. OPE 206 then builds a transaction record that indicates whether the participation status update was successful or not. In step 324, the transaction record is sent to ECR 204. ECR 204 then stores the transaction record and may communicate the transaction record to portable device 102 in step 326.
- OPE 206 sends the transaction record for the status change to host 106.
- OPE 206 may accumulate transactions and send them to host 106 at certain intervals, such as once per day.
- CSS 202 may also be used to change the participation status for portable device 102. If portable device 102 can communicate with CSS 202, then the above method depicted in Fig. 3 may be used. If portable device 102 cannot communicate directly with CSS 202, then CSS 202 receives identification information with respect to portable device 102 via other means, such as, a customer service representative obtaining the relevant information from a user of portable device 102 over the telephone. Identification information may be a social security number, name, device identification for portable device 102, etc. CSS 202 then communicates with OPE 206 or host 106 to change the participation status for portable device 102.
- the change request is logged in OPE 206 or host 106 and next time portable device 102 is connected to acceptance point device 104 or Internet system 108, the above method depicted in Fig. 3 may be used to update portable device 102.
- the participation status is changed in this latter manner, a request to change status is not required.
- Parameter 112 will be updated automatically next time portable device 102 is inserted into acceptance point device 104.
