Systems and methods for providing contextual information

A system for causing a reminder to be provided over a communication network, the system comprising:

• input/output circuitry configured to transmit video game data associated with a video game to a user device;
• and
• control circuitry configured to:
• track, via a remote server, an avatar interacting with a plurality of video game objects on a map of the video game, wherein the avatar is associated with a user profile;
• and wherein the control circuitry is configured to track the avatar by:
• receiving data from the user device, wherein the data identifies at least one control input received via the user device, and wherein the at least one control input causes the avatar to interact with the plurality of video game objects on the map of the video game;
• based on the tracking the avatar, determine, via the remote server, that the avatar is interacting with a first video game object of the plurality of video game objects on the map of the video game, wherein the first video game object is a non-player character of the video game;
• access a database located at the remote server to identify the user profile associated with the avatar;
• query the database to determine that the first video game object is associated with an in-game purchase of a second video game object previously made by the avatar associated with the user profile;
• determine, based on a purchase history associated with the user profile stored at the database, that an object type matching the second video game object was previously purchased;
• determine that a video game object that matches the object type of the second video game object is absent from an in-game inventory of the avatar;
• and
• based at least in part on (a) determining that the first video game object is associated with the in-game purchase of the second video game object, (b) determining that the object type matching the second video game object was previously purchased by the avatar associated with the user profile and (c) determining that a video game object that matches the object type of the second video game object is absent from the in-game inventory of the avatar:
• generate, via the remote server, a reminder relevant to the in-game purchase of the second video game object to be displayed on the user device.
