  • Patent number: 11790437
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for personalizing portable shopping displays using mobile devices and inaudible tones. Example methods may include causing a first inaudible tone to be emitted by a speaker, the first inaudible tone configured to initiate a change in a user interface at a mobile device, determining a second inaudible tone from a user device using a microphone, the second inaudible tone including a user identifier of a user, and determining a user interaction with a product at a product display. Certain example methods may include determining user preference data, and causing presentation of product information for the product using the user preference data.

  • Patent number: 11593871
    Abstract: Three-dimensional models (or avatars) may be defined based on imaging data captured from a customer. The avatars may be based on a virtual mannequin having one or more dimensions in common with the customer, a body template corresponding to the customer, or imaging data captured from the customer. The avatars are displayed on displays or in user interfaces and used for any purpose, such as to depict how clothing will appear or behave while being worn by a customer alone or with other clothing. Customers may drag-and-drop images of clothing onto the avatars. One or more of the avatars may be displayed on any display, such as a monitor or a virtual reality headset, which may depict the avatars in a static or dynamic mode. Images of avatars and clothing may be used to generate print catalogs depicting the appearance or behavior of the clothing while worn by the customer.

  • Patent number: 11170817
    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a video editor that can identify and track objects (e.g., products) in a video. The video editor identifies a particular object in one frame of the video and tracks the location of the object in the video. The video editor can update a position of an indicator that tracks the location of the object in the video. In addition, the video editor can identify an identification (ID) of the object which the editor can use to suggest annotations that provide additional information about the object. Once modified, the video is displayed on a user device, and when the viewer sees an object she can is interested in, she can pause the video which causes the indicator to appear. The user can select the indicator which prompts the user device to display the annotations corresponding to the object.

  • Patent number: 11120490
    Abstract: A video segmenting system identifies a product for sale in a video and determines one or more attributes of audio and video content within the video. The video segmenting system determines a video segment within the video that is associated with the product for sale, based on the attributes. The video segmenting system generates a tag that associates the product for sale with the video segment and sends an indication of the tag to a user device. Once the video is played on a user device, the user device detects a search query about the product for sale. Using the tag, the user device can display a marker on the user device corresponding to the location of the video segment within the video.

  • Patent number: 11107128
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for portable interactive product displays with region-specific products. Example methods may include determining a set of product identifiers of products to be positioned at an interactive display, the set of product identifiers including a first product identifier for a first product, determining a user identifier associated with a user device positioned within a distance of the interactive display, and determining a user interaction with the first product by a user of the user device. Certain methods may include determining a user interaction history for the user using the user identifier, and determining that an indication of the user interaction is to be added to the user interaction hi story.

  • Patent number: 10747336
    Abstract: An operating area for a virtual reality system may be defined based on the positions of sensors (e.g., infrared sensors) or fiducial markings within an environment where the virtual reality system is to be operated. The sensors or the fiducial markings may be provided on an operating surface in the form of a carpet, a mat or another like floor covering. When the virtual reality system is to be calibrated prior to use, positions of the sensors or the fiducial markings may be sensed by a base station, a headset or another virtual reality system unit, and an operating area may be defined based on virtual boundaries constructed using such positions.

  • Patent number: 10657176
    Abstract: A video tagging system that can generate tags corresponding to associations of object-related keywords mentioned in a video to time instances in the video is described. The video tagging system identifies a particular object associated with a video. Using a transcription of audio content within the video, the video tagging system determines a keyword mentioned in the audio content that is associated with the object and a time instance within a timeline of the video when the keyword is mentioned. The video tagging system generates a tag that associates the keyword with the time instance and sends an indication of the tag to a user device. Once the video is displayed on the user device, the user can search for the keyword. This prompts the user device to display a marker indicating the time instance when the keyword is mentioned.

  • Patent number: 10504277
    Abstract: Techniques described herein include systems and methods for transforming communications and content from one communication platform to another communication platform such that content can be shared between users utilizing different user devices. In some embodiments, a communication session may be maintained between one or more users where each user is utilizing a different user device. First input may be received from a first communication platform from a first user that is intended to be shared to the one or more users in the communication session. In embodiments, a corresponding communication platform for each user participating in the communication session may be determined based on device information provided by associated user devices of the user when providing previous communications with the communication session and content included in the first input. The first input may be transformed from the first communication platform to one or more different communication platforms.

  • Patent number: 10203847
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating a perspective view of item images and/or determining collections of similar items. For example, a set and/or collection of item images may be presented in a perspective view. One or more options may be selected by a user to update the set and/or collection of items and/or images. An updated set and/or collection may be determined, for example, by clustering the items and/or comparing items with the base item. One or more dimensions and/or attributes may be used to cluster and/or graph the items to determine new collections of items.

  • Patent number: 10019143
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining a principal image from a collection of images presented in a perspective view. A perspective view of images may be interactive and/or images may simultaneously increase or decrease in size in response to user interaction. Methods and/or techniques may be used to determine a principal image from a set of images based on a direction, speed, and/or velocity of movement or user interaction. A principal image in the perspective view may be the largest currently presented image and/or may be presented at the forefront to the user. Furthermore, an animation and/or video may be presented to the user following a determination of a principal image and/or after a configurable period of time without subsequent user interaction, which may further highlight or bring attention to a particular item to the user.
