Patent number: 10289697Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2018Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: eBay Inc.Inventors: Nathan Sacco, Guy Schory, Robert Dean Veres

Patent number: 10134056Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2011Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: eBay Inc.Inventors: Guy Schory, Robert Dean Veres

Publication number: 20180203876Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2018Publication date: July 19, 2018Inventors: Nathan Sacco, Guy Schory, Robert Dean Veres

Patent number: 9697447Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2015Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: eBay Inc.Inventors: Guy Schory, Robert Dean Veres
