  • Patent number: 11532035
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes providing a user interface that allows selection of a product attribute and in the alternative allows selection of a previously defined rule. When a product attribute is selected in the user interface, a rule under construction that describes what products are to appear on a retail webpage is altered based on the selected product attribute. When a previously-defined rule is selected in the user interface, the rule under construction is modified so that the rule under construction uses the selected rule.

  • Patent number: 11494786
    Abstract: A third party item listing management system usable for verification of third party items to be included on a retailer website includes an application programming interface and an item verification pipeline. The application programming interface is accessible by a plurality of third parties and is configured to receive item data associated with one or more items. The item verification pipeline is configured to receive the item data and call an item validation pipeline, the item validation pipeline includes a plurality of item validation stages including a field verification. At the field verification stage, data is extracted from at least one of an item image or text associated with the item. The data extracted is compared to item data obtained from an independent verification source to confirm the accuracy of the item data provided by the third party.

  • Publication number: 20190295152
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes providing a user interface that allows selection of a product attribute and in the alternative allows selection of a previously defined rule. When a product attribute is selected in the user interface, a rule under construction that describes what products are to appear on a retail webpage is altered based on the selected product attribute. When a previously-defined rule is selected in the user interface, the rule under construction is modified so that the rule under construction uses the selected rule.

  • Publication number: 20180107720
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method receives a search phrase from a client device and identifies a category of products that was previously assigned to the search phrase, wherein the category of products was previously assigned to the search phrase based on products selected by previous users who entered the search phrase. Search parameters associated with the category are retrieved and are used to control the content of a search result page that is formed in response to the received search phrase. The search result page is then returned to the client device.

  • Publication number: 20160110460
    Abstract: An electronic search evaluation system and method are disclosed. The system includes an application loadable onto a user device including a display and an input, and a server in communication with the user device. The application, when loaded onto the user device, permits the user device to communicate with the server to send to the server baseline and candidate search configurations, and a plurality of search terms, and to receive from the server, baseline and candidate search results for the search terms, and to cause display of the search results on the display. The server configured to receive the search configurations and search terms, identify the search results, compare the search results, and send the search results to the application. The search results sent to the application including a comparison marker to indicate whether the search results are matching.
