  • Publication number: 20240086998
    Abstract: Feeds in a network-based marketplace are described. The system receives a request, over a network, from a user that is associated with feed selection information, and identifies source feeds based on the feed selection information. The source feeds respectively include a first plurality of content elements. The system generates a presentation feed by retrieving a second plurality of content elements from the source feeds. The generating is performed continuously and in real-time. The system segments the presentation feed into pages and generates interfaces that include a first interface based on the pages. The system communicates the first interface, over the network, to the user, responsive to the receiving of the request.

  • Patent number: 10979376
    Abstract: A system may detect multiple accesses of an engagement interface from a user. The multiple accesses may include a first group of accesses performed by a first device and a second group of accesses performed by a second device. Both the first device and the second device may correspond to the user. A message may be selected from a set of messages. Moreover, the message may correspond to the engagement interface. The system may identify the first group of accesses as having a greater amount of user interaction with the engagement interface than the second group of accesses. The system may then determine that the selected message has the greatest likelihood of being read on the first device. The selected message may be communicated to the first device based on the determination.

  • Patent number: 10692131
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating feed in a network-based marketplace are described. The system includes a plexus of aggregation interfaces including a first aggregation interface and a second aggregation interface. The first aggregation interface displays content elements and the second aggregation interface is for reconfiguring a presentation feed. The system communicates the first aggregation interface to a client machine responsive to receiving a first selection via a source feed identifier presented in the first content element of the first presentation interface. The system further communicates the second aggregation interface to the client machine responsive to receiving a second selection, via the first aggregation interface, the second selection identifying the second aggregation interface. The system receives a third selection via the second aggregation interface, the third selection causing removal of the first source feed from the plurality of source feeds that comprise the presentation feed.

  • Patent number: 9633392
    Abstract: An integrated finding experience is a workflow configured to facilitate a search by a user for one or more items among many items (e.g., an inventory of items). An integrated finding experience machine may provide one or more user interfaces that support the workflow in presenting information differently as the user progresses through a search process (e.g., a finding experience) with respect to a database (e.g., storing information regarding one or more items). For example, the workflow may include various stages of a search process from defining a query, to refining the query, to visually scanning search results, to displaying details of one or more selected search results, to comparing selected search results to each other. Each stage may have a specialized user interface configured to facilitate one or more user activities pertinent to that stage.

  • Publication number: 20140324725
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, location information is received from a plurality of mobile devices operated by on-duty valets. An online order for local delivery of an item to a consumer is received. A current location of the consumer is determined. A store having a least transit time from the current location of the consumer that has the item in stock is determined. Then, a valet having a least transit time to the determined store is determined. A job may be assigned to the valet having the least transit time to the determined store.

  • Publication number: 20140279283
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a shopping neighborhood feed in a network-based marketplace are described. The system receives a request, over a network, from a mobile device and associates the request with a user that is associated with feed selection information. The feed selection information may include interests associated with the user and content selection information. The system identifies source feeds based on the feed selection information and a current location of the mobile device. The source feeds include a shopping neighborhood source feed and store source feeds that include content elements. The shopping neighborhood source feed include content elements that describe points of interest that are located inside a physical perimeter that include stores. The system generates a presentation feed based on selected content elements and communicates a first user interface, over a network, that includes a portion of the content elements.
