  • the server processing system 320 then substantially simultaneously transfers confirmation requests to the plurality of social media server processing systems 340a-340n using the plurality of social media social media action identifiers to determine whether any of the social media actions were unimplemented.
  • the server processing system 320 may transfer a post identifier to a social media server processing system 340a-340n requesting an indication whether the post is still published using the respective first user's social media account.
  • the server processing system 320 In response to the server processing system 320 determining that one or more of the social media actions were unimplemented, the server processing system 320 transfers a reward revocation command to the mobile communication device 310. In response to the mobile communication device 310 receiving the reward revocation command, the mobile communication device 310 deletes the respective reward redemption data 516 from memory and restricts the reward redemption interface being generated and presented for the respective reward. A notification can also be transferred to the mobile communication device 310 from the server processing system 320 warning that one or more of the social media actions were unimplemented by the first user which is against the terms of use. The server processing system 320 records in the database 324 an instance of one or more social media actions being unimplemented by the first user.
  • the server processing system 320 may disable the first user's account in the database 324 and send a notification to the respective mobile communication device 310 indicating that the first user's account has been disabled thereby preventing use of the application.

  • the server processing system 320 may facilitate generation/modification of a webpage based on the action defined by the second party.
  • a URL associated with the webpage is then transferred to one or more of the social media server processing systems 340a-340n for distribution via the first user's one or more social media accounts.
  • the webpage hosted by/associated with the server processing system 320 is presented which presents the content (textual, image, etc.) defined by the second user.
  • references to a “scatter” relate to a request by a user to the server processing system 320 for one or more social media actions to be performed by one or more social media server processing systems 340a-340n. It will also be appreciated that references to "rescatter” in the drawings relate to the published social media content associated with a requested social media action being republished by another social media user viewing one or more of the social media accounts of the first user. .

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de traitement de serveur, un procédé, un système informatisé, un dispositif mobile, un support lisible par ordinateur et un ou plusieurs programmes d'ordinateur conçus pour l'exécution d'une action de médias sociaux. Selon un aspect, l'invention se rapporte un procédé mis en œuvre par un dispositif de communication mobile associé à un premier utilisateur, et ce procédé se déroule de la manière suivante : le dispositif de communication mobile transfère des données indiquant que le premier utilisateur demande à un système de traitement de serveur de faciliter une pluralité d'actions de médias sociaux à exécuter par rapport à une pluralité respective de comptes de médias sociaux du premier utilisateur, l'action de médias sociaux étant au moins en partie définie par un système de traitement de second utilisateur associé à un second utilisateur ; le dispositif de communication mobile reçoit des données de récupération de récompense en provenance du système de traitement de serveur lorsque la pluralité d'actions de médias sociaux est exécutée ; et le dispositif de communication mobile utilise les données de récupération de récompense pour récupérer la récompense.
