  • Patent number: 11403698
    Abstract: A system and method for intelligent item reordering using an adaptable mobile graphical user interface is described herein. In some instances, the system may generate a graphical user interface including a first set of graphical elements representing a first set of items, and receive a first input selecting a particular item of the first set of items, the first set of graphical elements including a graphical element representing the particular item. The system may generate a graphical list of quantities and render the graphical list of quantities at a first position in the graphical user interface based on the graphical element representing the particular item in the graphical user interface. In some instances, the system may receive a second input identifying a selected quantity from the graphical list of quantities and modify the graphical element representing the particular item to indicate the selected quantity.

  • Patent number: 11361362
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for receiving, at a server, a selection of an anchor product from an electronic catalog stored in at least one storage device communicatively coupled to the server, and vectorizing at least one of text and images associated with the selected anchor product and other products in the catalog. At least one of key words may be determined from text data and key images from image data for each product of the catalog. Vectors may be formed from at least one of the keywords and key images, and concatenating the separate vectors together to form final vectors for the products. A similarity search may be performed using the final vectors to determine a group of similar products from the vectorized products of the catalog. Selected products that are within a same slot as the anchor product may be labelled in batch.

  • Patent number: 11361354
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques for efficiently upgrading product information stored on a client device to the latest version that reflects the current products offered by a particular establishment. Product information changes frequently, which could result in large upgrade packages. Yet, the time available for downloading the packages onto a device may be severely limited. To improve download time, upgrade packages may be shard based on product commonality within different predefined scopes. For instance, information related to products common across chain-wide establishments may be upgraded using one set of upgrade packages, and information related to products common across region-wide establishments may be upgraded using another set. This upgrade framework helps reduce file size and leverage the edge-caching capabilities of content delivery networks to reduce the time needed to transmit upgrade packages to client devices.
