  • Publication number: 20130117133
    Abstract: This invention details systems and methods for users in an online marketplace to easily enter one or more items using a smartphone or other compatible mobile device, then uploading the newly entered item(s) in a batch upload process directly onto the online marketplace. One aspect of the invention describes the process of using a mobile device to photograph or add images and easily capture the primary information needed for an ad listing. The process of capturing the detailed information utilizes a mobile device's voice recognition technology as an alternative to the device's keypad to streamline the data entry process. A second aspect of the invention details the system's process of batch uploading the final items directly into the online marketplace. The final aspect of the invention describes the process whereby a user may later login to the web-based system to edit or add optional details to the ad listing if desired.
