  • Publication number: 20230367807
    Abstract: In example embodiments, a system and method for providing item notifications is provided. A networked system receives, from a device of a user, a selection of an item from a list for monitoring. The network system also receives, from the device of the user, a condition that triggers the reporting of news for the selected item. The network system monitors for news for the selected item. A determination is made as to whether the condition that triggers the reporting of the news is satisfied. In response to determining that the condition that triggers the reporting of the news is satisfied, the networked system transmits a notification to the user indicating the news for the selected item.

  • Patent number: 10289697
    Abstract: Example embodiments provide systems and methods for onboarding a collection of items. In example embodiments, image data containing images of a plurality of items from a client device is received. The image data is parsed to distinguish an item of the plurality of items. The item is then identified. In some embodiments, the item is identified by determining at least one catalog item that matches an identifying feature of the item, providing a verification request indicating the at least one catalog item, and receiving a verification response confirming the identity of the item. An inventory list is compiled by including the identified item in the inventory list.

  • Patent number: 10134056
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing information based on a user's location are described. A system may include an inventory module to identify an instance of a product within a field of vision of a user. A search module may identify incentives to purchase the product. A location module may generate a pictorial representation of the field of vision where an image of the product is located within the pictorial representation based on the position of the product in the field of vision of the user. A mapping module may map an icon representing at least one of the one or more incentives to a location within the pictorial representation corresponding to the position of the product. A display module may provide a user interface including a display comprising the icon located within the pictorial representation at a location corresponding to the position of the image of the product.

  • Publication number: 20180203876
    Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and method for managing a collection of items is provided. In example embodiments, an item from an inventory of a user is identified for monitoring. Over a predetermined period of time, a trend for the item and a change in the trend for the item is determined. In response to detecting the change in the trend, an alert is transmitted to a device of the user providing an indication of a time period for selling the item. Based on receiving a response from the user to sell the item during the time period, a listing to sell the particular identified item during the time period is created and published.

  • Patent number: 9697447
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the automated generation of QR codes with embedded images therein are provided. The QR code has an active, machine-readable portion and a background portion. An example system comprises an image identification module to identify a human-readable image. A primitive creation module generates a primitive QR code. The primitive QR code comprises a machine-readable QR code having the image embedded in the QR code. An overlay interface module generates an intermediate QR code by modifying the active portion of the QR code using a first modification and modifying the background portion using a second modification.
