A method of marketing goods and/or services using discount purchasing incentives. The method provides customized discount coupon cards, books, or similar media, designed and arranged to carry and display a list of participating vendors, the cards containing a number of opportunities to redeem or otherwise utilize the designated discount at each respective vendor's place of business, or website. A graphical user interface and plurality of coupon carrying media support the ability of a consumer to personally customize any number of discounted purchase offers by choosing from a list of categories and sub-categories of manufacturer or retailer discount offers displayed on a network, such as the world wide web. After selecting offers that have been posted by local or national merchants, the specific discount information may be transmitted to an offer database, whereupon customized discount coupon cards, books, or other offer carrying media may be created for distribution to the consumer. Each customized card, or book etc., may be designed to display the specific offers chosen by the consumer and is transmitted to an in-house or outsourced printer, or encoder, for creation. The consumer's choices, geographic location, and other demographic information may be stored in a selections database designed to transmit the coupon utilization and ultimate sales information back to the manufacturers and retailers that provided the original discount offers.

An apparatus and method for resource management in a wireless communication system are provided. The method includes allocating resources and transmit power to maximize Quality of Service (QoS) satisfaction of User Equipments (UEs) and a sum rate using long-term channel information of the UEs, determining a transmit power constraint per resource block using a power distribution of the resources and transmit power allocation results and control information of at least one neighboring BS, and allocating resource and transmit power to maximize the QoS satisfaction of the UEs and the sum rate using short-term channel information of the UEs under a condition of the transmit power constraint.

A system and method directed to improving efforts to plan for investor life goals. The method combines unique approaches of assessing investor risk tolerance using utility theory and investor preferences using conjoint analysis, Analytic Hierarchy Process (“AHP”), or the like in combination with existing industry financial projection methods using linear projections, Monte Carlo simulation, or the like. Further, the method improves upon existing financial projection approaches with the addition of regression techniques to streamline adjustments to the plan objectives, resources, and constraints. The method includes a means of determining an optimal combination of attribute preferences that have an acceptable probability of achieving plan goals while maximizing investor satisfaction as measured by total utility.

The subject application relates to telecommunication networks and more particularly, to a method and system for managing and allocating wireless network resources to optimize User satisfaction. One aspect of the invention is directed to a system comprising a wireless base station; a user device; and a wireless network connecting said wireless base-station to said user device; said wireless base station being operable: to employ a ‘zone of tolerance’ to model user satisfaction; and to respond to a request from said user device to access network resources, by allocating network resources based on said ‘zone of tolerance’ model. Other aspects of the invention are also shown and described including a system and method of allocating network resources based on an AI-Enabled and Big Data-Driven Multi-Objective Optimization Process.

A vehicle key having a memory and a vehicle control method using the vehicle key is disclosed. The memory stores control information for management and control of the vehicle, and the vehicle includes a memory reader/writer in an ignition control. If the vehicle detects the vehicle memory key through the memory reader/writer, it loads control information from the vehicle memory key. Additional services provided in the vehicle are controlled using the control information. This maximizes the user's satisfaction with the additional services provided in the vehicle and also provides an improved driving environment to the driver. This induces the driver to safely drive and decreases accident risk due to manipulation of equipment in the vehicle while driving, which consequently reduces traffic accident rates.

The invention discloses a multiservice and multiaerial broadcast channel scheduling method based on an indistinct satisfaction degree factor, which is characterized in that the influence of the variation tendency of the time delay and the speed of different services to the satisfaction degree and the schedule of a user is considered, the user is scheduled by maximizing the channel quality using the indistinct satisfaction degree as the weighing, thereby the influence of the lag error to the schedule is avoided. The invention can better measure the satisfaction degree of the user and avoid the lag error. The simulation result indicates that compared with other scheduling methods based on the measure criteria of the satisfaction degree, the scheduling method of the invention more reasonably considers the satisfaction degree of the user under different time delays and speeds and the variation tendency thereof, better utilizes the frequency spectrum resources, ensures the justification of the user under the premise that the throughput rate is not lowered, more effectively ensures the service quality demands of the user, and maximizes the satisfaction degree of the system.

The invention belongs to the technical field of computer networks, and specifically discloses an inter-data-center big-data transmission bandwidth scheduling method with a deadline constraint. Firstly, user input requests are divided into two types of fixed-bandwidth big-data requests and variable-bandwidth big-data requests, sorting is carried out, then decision processing is sequentially carriedout according to a sorted request sequence, and two different methods are employed to respectively process the fixed-bandwidth big-data requests and the variable-bandwidth big-data requests. According to the method, the two different types of user requests of the fixed-bandwidth big-data transmission requests and the variable-bandwidth big-data transmission requests can be transmitted; request transmission can be quickly completed for processing of the fixed-bandwidth big-data transmission requests; and a scheduling success rate and a user satisfaction degree can be maximized for processing of the variable-bandwidth big-data transmission requests. The method improves a scheduling success rate of the user requests, and fully uses network resources.

The invention discloses an information processing method and device, electronic equipment and a computer readable storage medium. The information processing method comprises that historical order dataof a user in a preset historical period is obtained; time sensitivity reference elements including one or multiple selected from a relative dispensing time rate, overtime sensitivity, expected time sensitivity and overdue behavior change degree of the user are determined according to the historical order data; and the time sensitivity of the user is determined according to the time sensitivity reference elements. A dispensing strategy can be adjusted adaptively by utilizing the obtained time sensitivity parameter, so that the user is satisfied to the highest degree, the risk of customer churnis reduced, and more effective users can be obtained.
