Dependent claims

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:

provide, via at least one user interface for display on a display of a device of a user, a first field to receive honoree information of an honoree for a donation to be made to a charitable organization by the user;
provide, via the at least one user interface, a second field to receive an identification of the charitable organization and a third field to receive donation information regarding the donation;
provide, via the at least one user interface, a fourth field to receive a personalized message for the honoree from the user;
and
communicate at least a portion of the honoree information, the donation information, the identification of the charitable organization and the personalized message to a remote server associated with a service provider, to enable the service provider to effect the donation to the charitable organization and electronically send the personalized message to the honoree.

2 more elements

A system comprising:

a remote server to couple to a plurality of client devices, the remote server comprising:
a processor to execute instructions;
a communication circuit coupled to the processor;
and
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory to store instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
receive, in a client application programming interface in execution on the system, a request to perform a donation transaction between a user of a first client device and a charitable organization mediated by a service provider, the donation transaction in lieu of a gift to a third party;
in response to the request, access a database coupled to the remote server to determine one or more charitable organizations identified by the third party and send a list of the one or more charitable organizations to the first client device, to enable the first client device to display the list on a display of the first client device;
receive, in the client application programming interface, first information to identify one of the one or more charitable organizations selected by the user for the donation transaction, second information regarding the donation transaction, and third information comprising a personalized message from the user to be sent to the third party;
send the personalized message from the remote server to a second client device associated with the third party;
and
process the donation transaction to enable payment of the donation to the one of the one or more charitable organizations.

8 more elements

An apparatus comprising:

a client module configured to receive a request to perform a donation transaction between a user of a first client device coupled to the apparatus and a charitable organization mediated by a service provider, the donation transaction in lieu of a gift to a third party, the client module further configured to receive first information to identify a first charitable organization selected by the user for the donation transaction, second information regarding the donation transaction, and third information comprising a personalized message from the user to be sent to the third party;
a database module configured to access a database coupled to the apparatus to determine, based on an identification of the third party, a list of one or more charitable organizations identified by the third party, the list of one or more charitable organizations including the first charitable organization, and send the list to the client module for delivery to the first client device, to enable the first client device to display the list on a display of the first client device;
a short messaging service module to send the personalized message from the apparatus to a second client device associated with the third party, when the second client device is a mobile phone;
an email module to send the personalized message from the apparatus to the second client device associated with the third party, when the second client device is not a mobile phone;
and
an orchestration module to enable interaction between the client module, the short messaging service module and the email module.
