Abstract
A method of creating an affinity group image for application to an affinity group transaction means, the method comprising: displaying at least one image for application to a transaction means associated with the affinity group; receiving instructions to manipulate an image selected from the at least one image; processing the selected image by applying the received manipulation instructions to the selected image to produces a personalised image; and saving the personalised image for selection by a member of the affinity group.
Claims23
A computer-implemented method for creating an affinity group image for each of the members of the affinity group to select and apply to an affinity group transaction card for that member, the method comprising:
- causing an image to be displayed at a user interface that, following editing, is to later be offered to each of the members of the affinity group for application to an affinity croup transaction card for that member;
- providing an internet communications link coupling the user interface to an image processor;
- receiving at the image processor from the user interface instructions to edit the image that, following editing, is to later be offered to each of the members of the affinity croup for application to an affinity croup transaction card for that member;
- causing the image processor to editing the received image editing instructions to produce an affinity group image that is to later be offered to each of the members of the affinity croup for application to an affinity group transaction card for that member;
- and
- saving in an electronic storage device the affinity group image in a manner that permits it to later be offered to each of the members of the affinity group for application to an affinity croup transaction card for that member.
A computer-implemented method for creating an affinity group image for application to affinity group transaction cards associated with the affinity croup, the method comprising:
- causing at least one image for application to the affinity group transaction cards associated with the affinity group to be displayed;
- receiving instructions to edit an image selected from the at least one image;
- processing the selected image by applying the received editing instructions to the elected image to produce the affinity group image;
- and
- saving the affinity group image in a manner that permits it to be later offered to each of the members of the affinity group for selection by that member of the affinity group to be applied to an affinity group transaction card for that member.
(canceled)
