Abstract: An item query can be received on a website that manages a diverse set of items. If the query is associated with a custom taxonomy, the custom taxonomy for the item (or item class) is used to create a user interface with navigational elements generated from the custom taxonomy. The custom taxonomy can be generated from a third-party site that is associated with the item (e.g., a manufacturer). The generated user interface allows users to more readily navigate items from the item class.

Abstract: A method for defining, generating, and using a global back-end taxonomy is disclosed. It is identified that a listing of an item is exposed to a plurality of users of a first subsystem via a set of categories of a first front-end taxonomy. The listing of the item is mapped to a set of categories of a global back-end taxonomy, the global back-end taxonomy being maintained independently of the first front-end taxonomy and a second front-end taxonomy, the second front-end taxonomy being associated with a second subsystem. A category of the set of categories of the global back-end taxonomy is mapped to a category of a set of categories of the second front-end taxonomy associated with the second subsystem. The listing of the item is exposed to a plurality of users of the second subsystem via the set of categories of the second front-end taxonomy.

Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for vehicle use and performance restrictions based on detected users. A user may check-in to a vehicle so that the vehicle identifies the user, such as through providing identification to the vehicle using biometrics, logins, or other information. Using the identification, the vehicle may determine parameters and restrictions on use of the vehicle by the user. Parameters may include information about the user, such as age, health, or other statistic stored with the identification for the user, and may be utilized to determine restrictions on use of the vehicle by the user, such as a speed of the vehicle and passengers allowed in the vehicle. Restrictions may also be set for the user, including speeds of travel, routes of travel, and usage of media players in the vehicle. The usage of the vehicle may be monitored and enforced using the restrictions.

Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for detection of users and vehicle usage for variable insurance terms. A user may utilize a vehicle and require an insurance policy for usage of the vehicle. The user may have an existing insurance policy or may require a new insurance policy. Once the user is detected as utilizing the vehicle, usage factors of the vehicle by the user may be communicated to a variable insurance server. Usage factors may include a location of use of the vehicle, speed of travel, a driver history for the user, or other information. The server may determine a new insurance policy for the user or may determine an adjustment to the user's existing insurance policy. Such insurance policy changes may be based on the user, the vehicle, and the user's usage of the vehicle. The user may accept the server's proposal to initiate the change.

Abstract: Product information from local searches can be furnished based on user actions with respect to an eCommerce system. Information about user actions with respect to a product on the eCommerce system can be retrieved from the eCommerce system. A user intent to purchase the product may be determined based on the information about user actions. The product may then be matched to a product on a local search service. A local search on the matched product may then be performed on the local service, to locate one or more stores local to a user's current location that have the matched product in stock. The results from the local search may be displayed to a user.

Abstract: An apparatus and method to facilitate providing item recommendations are disclosed herein. A determination of same wearable items purchased by both of at least a first user and a second user is made. At least one of a first other wearable item purchased by the first user or a second other wearable item purchased by the second user is identified. A first physical fit of wearable items in the same item categorgy for the first user and a second physical fit of the wearable items in the same item category for the second user are automatically determined. The automatic determination is based on the determination of the same wearable items. Identification of the first other wearable item is provided to the second user as an item recommendation. The identification including a particular size from among a plurality of sizes of the identified first other wearable item.

Abstract: Consumers face a problem matching brand and size of one product to a different brand and size of a related product because not all brands measure sizes in the same way. As such, internet commerce companies recommend shoe sizes to users based upon a user-specified size or a user-specified pair of the shoes and size in a brand that the user suggests. Data in a peer-to-peer marketplace is mined to determine corresponding shoe sizes across various brands.
