  • Publication number: 20240013282
    Abstract: A secure inventory management system includes a product information data store that holds inventory information for products that are associated with one or more channels, as well as a consumer profile data store holding consumer-product purchase event information for each channel. The system also includes a channel manager user interface via which the system will receive a consumer identifier from a channel manager user for a first channel, identify products that are in an inventory of the first channel, and use the consumer profile data to generate recommendations for products in the inventory. At least some of the consumers, and at least some of the products, will be associated with multiple channels. The system maintains security and privacy of information so that only aggregate supplier information is shared across channels, and no personally identifiable consumer information is shared with anyone who is not authorized to access the information.

  • Publication number: 20230368270
    Abstract: An inventory management system includes a product information data store that holds inventory information for products that are associated with one or more channels. The system also includes a channel manager user interface via which the system will receive data for a new product listing. The system will automatically populate the new product listing with additional data for the new product. The system will save the new product listing in association with a channel and channel-specific information for the channel. Then, when a user views the new product information, the system will ensure that the system only views channel-specific information that is associated with the product if the user is subscribed to that channel.

  • Publication number: 20210319346
    Abstract: A personal taste assessment system recommends a consumable or other item. The system accesses a preference model for the representing associations between a person's ratings of items and a set of item characteristics. The system uses the preference model and an item database that contains characteristic values for a group of items to identify a candidate item having characteristics that correspond to traits that the person found to be appealing, and which may be chemically sensed. The system then causes an electronic device to output an identification of the candidate item.
