Patent ID: 8868645

Claim:
A computing system implemented process for prioritizing commercial communications based on location data comprising: identifying a merchant; determining, through an analysis of business of the merchant, one or more priority source locations associated with the merchant; creating a priority communication source location database associated with the merchant, the priority communication source location database including priority source locations associated with the merchant that were determined through the analysis of the merchant's business and further including data indicating priority source locations associated with the merchant that, when associated with a communication from a source party, indicate that the communication from the source party is a priority communication for the merchant; storing, within the priority communication source location database, data indicating the determined one or more priority source locations associated with the merchant; receiving a source party communication from a source party communication system; using one or more processors associated with one or more computing systems to obtain data indicating a source location associated with the source party communication and/or the source party communication system; using one or more processors associated with one or more computing systems to analyze the previously stored priority communication source location database data indicating the determined one or more priority source locations associated with the merchant and the data indicating the source location associated with the source party communication and/or the source party communication system to determine if the data indicating the source location associated with the source party communication and/or the source party communication system matches, or matches within a defined tolerance, the data indicating priority source locations associated with the merchant; using one or more processors associated with one or more computing systems to determine that the data indicating the source location associated with the source party communication and/or the source party communication system matches, or matches within a defined tolerance, the data indicating one or more priority source locations associated with the merchant that were previously determined through the analysis of the merchant's business; using one or more processors associated with one or more computing systems to transform a status of the source party communication to a status of priority source party communication; and processing the identified priority source party communication on a priority basis.
