1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a host computer, sales data points from a plurality of terminals, wherein each sales data point includes a count number, a coupon rate and a price;
storing the sales data points in a database of the host computer;
determining a dynamic demand curve based on the sales data points stored in the database;
wherein;
a smart card received from a first terminal of the plurality of terminals a first signal including instructions to enable a processor and a memory of the smart card to store an initial count number;
the smart card received from the first terminal a second signal including instructions to enable the processor and the memory of the smart card to increment the initial count number by one unit to obtain the count number;
the smart card transmitted to a second terminal of the plurality of terminals a third signal, wherein the third signal includes the count number; and
the host computer received from the second terminal the count number as part of a sales data point.

Abstract
A secure smart card is described. The smart card can include a processor, a memory and a transceiver. The smart card can communicate with various terminals and store a digital signature and other information on the card. Another terminal can validate the information stored on the smart card using the digital signature. In certain embodiments, the terminal can also validate the information by using a blockchain. The advanced design of the smart card obviates the need for a network connection.

11. A method comprising:
-
receiving at a first terminal a count number from a smart card; receiving at the first terminal a dynamic demand curve from a host computer; determining at the first terminal a coupon rate based on the count number and the dynamic demand curve; applying the coupon rate at the first terminal to a transaction to discount a purchase price; wherein; a second terminal transmits, to a smart card, a first signal including instructions to enable a processor and a memory of the smart card to store an initial count number; the second terminal transmits, to the smart card, a second signal including instructions to enable the processor and the memory of the smart card to increment the initial count number by one unit to obtain the count number; and the first terminal receives from the smart card, a third signal, wherein the third signal includes the count number. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method comprising:
-
receiving, at a smart card from a first terminal, a first reward value based on a first count number stored on the smart card; receiving, at the smart card from a second terminal, a second reward value based on a second count number stored on the smart card; transmitting the sum of the first reward value and the second reward value to a third terminal to process a transaction; wherein; the smart card received from the first terminal a first signal including instructions to enable a processor and a memory of the smart card to store an initial count number; and the smart card received from the first terminal a second signal including instructions to enable the processor and the memory of the smart card to increment the initial count number by one unit to obtain the first count number. - View Dependent Claims (20)
