DYNAMICALLY SIZING INCENTIVE REWARDS FOR LOCATION-BASED ACTIONS BY GROUPS
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining a first incentive reward that is to be provided based on a first number transgressing a first threshold, the first number being how many members of a group of users each complete a location-based action a first number of times;
determining a magnitude of the first incentive reward;
determining, using a processor, a second incentive reward that is to be provided based on a second number transgressing a second threshold, the second number being how many members of the group of users each complete the location-based action a second number of times;
choosing a magnitude of the second incentive reward such that the magnitude of the second incentive reward in comparison to the magnitude the first incentive reward is proportional to the first number of times in comparison to the second number of times; and
notifying the group of users of the first incentive reward and the second incentive reward.

Abstract
A method of dynamically sizing incentive rewards for location-based actions by groups is disclosed. A first incentive reward that is to be provided based on a first number of times members of a group of users complete a location-based action is determined. A second incentive reward that is to be provided based on a second number of times members of the group of users complete the location-based action is determined. A magnitude of the second incentive reward is greater than a magnitude of the first incentive reward based on the second number of times being greater than the first number of times. The group of users is notified of the incentive reward and the additional incentive reward.
