  • Patent number: 11734740
    Abstract: Techniques for mapping size information associated with a client to target brands, garments, sizes, shapes, and styles for which there is no standardized correlation. The size information associated with a client may be generated by modeling client garments, accessing computer aided drawing (CAD) files associated with client garments, or by analyzing a history of garment purchases associated with the client. Information for target garments may be generated in a similar fashion. A system may then create a standardized scale with a set of sizes for a target, and map a client base size to that standardized size scale. Similar matching and mapping may also be done with shape and style considerations. A recommendation based on the mapping may then be communicated to the client.

  • Patent number: 11704717
    Abstract: Item codes for items are mapped to multidimensional space as item vectors based on transaction contexts. Similarities between item codes are based on distances between the item codes within the multidimensional space. Substitute items for out-of-stock items are automatically identified based on the item similarities and based on collected feedback from transactions. The substitute items are provided in real time to customers during transactions, item picking services during item fulfillment, and shelf management services for item shelf stocking. In an embodiment, the substitute items are further determined based on a specific transaction history for a given customer and specific feedback collected for the given customer from the specific transaction history.
