  • Patent number: 11481830
    Abstract: In online apparel shopping, user finds difficulty in choosing apparel of his/her preferences. This disclosure relates to recommend an apparel specific to a user by estimated attribute values in digital environment. An information associated with the user and apparels is processed to obtain a first parameter and a second parameter and associated data independent matrix and data dependent matrix is derived. The data independent matrix and the data dependent matrix is learned to obtain trained multivariate multi structure model. A significant pattern associated with each user is determined by extracting plurality of images. The derived significant pattern is deployed on k-nearest neighbor model to obtain recommended pattern. The trained multivariate multi structure model and the recommended pattern is applied on state of the user in a real time to estimate the attribute values. The estimated attribute values is mapped with existing apparels in repository to recommend prioritized apparels.

  • Patent number: 11270369
    Abstract: In implementations of systems for generating recommendations, a computing device implements a recommendation system to receive prior interaction data describing prior interactions of entities with items. The recommendation system processes the prior interaction data and segments the entities into a first set and a second set. The entities included in the first set have greater numbers of prior interactions with the items than the entities included in the second set. The recommendation system then generates subset data describing a subset of the entities in the first set. This subset excludes entities having numbers of the prior interactions with the items below a threshold. The recommendation system forms a recommendation model based on the subset data and the system uses the recommendation model to generate a recommendation for display in a user interface.

  • Patent number: 11151624
    Abstract: A system generates a first gift selection matrix that includes a first set of items of interest to a recipient organized in columns of increasing cost and rows of decreasing interest to the recipient. The system transmits the first gift selection matrix to a first user computing device and to a second user computing device. Item selections are received from users, along with gift purchase contribution pledges. If the pledges are insufficient to cover a cost of one of the selected items, the system sends a request to the first user and the second user for either an a second gift selection, or a pledge of additional funds. If the new gift selections are not the same, or if the pledged amounts are insufficient to purchase a selected gift, the system generates a second gift selection matrix. The system transmits the second gift selection matrix to the first user computing device and the second user computing device. A final gift selection can be made from the second matrix.

  • Patent number: 11151631
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a recommendation for an additional item in response to receiving a basket of goods determine a type for the basket of goods from a set of basket types, receive a set of additional targeted items as target recommendations and receive a history of received types of baskets of goods. Embodiments iteratively perform a clustering into a plurality of clusters of each of the basket types based on the history of received types of baskets of goods, and preference updating for each of the targeted items into each of the plurality of clusters. The iteratively performing, after a plurality of iterations, outputs a sequence of mappings and a sequence of preference parameters. Embodiments generate a frequency of tabulation of mappings from the sequence of mappings and then generate the recommendation based on the sequence of mappings, the sequence of preference parameters and the frequency of tabulation of mappings.

  • Patent number: 11132740
    Abstract: A vehicle is detected at a drive thru terminal and an automated voice-based dialogue is established with a user in the vehicle and the terminal. An order is placed for a transaction using natural-language speech. The automated voice-based dialogue identifies commands, nouns associated with menu items, adjectives associated with modifying the menu items, prepositions associated with modifying the menu items, and exclamations associated with confirming the order and associated menu items. The automated speech is identified and processed based on a specific lexicon associated with a specific type of restaurant. The speech is translated into actions processed through an ordering system/interface as text-based instructions. Feedback for the order and guidance during the order are provided to the user through: speech played over a speaker associated with the terminal, text displayed on a display, and/or images associated with the ordered items.
