Patent number: 11170424Abstract: A system includes one or more memory devices storing instructions, and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to perform the steps of a method to dynamically ingest and monitor online products. The method may include receiving access to a webpage, determining whether the webpage includes a predetermined template, and in response to receiving the predetermined template, ingesting one or more product images and product metadata from the webpage. If no template is found, the system may request search engine optimization metadata to determine if at least one image is of a product before initializing a machine learning algorithm to determine whether the images correspond to product images. If no associated metadata is found, the system may request manual input of associated metadata before displaying, in real-time and in a standardized format, the ingested photos and metadata, allowing a user to select photos representing products of interest.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2020Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: CarMax Business Services, LLCInventors: David Meriwether Lee, Brantley Evans Gilbert, Matthew David Reamer, Matthew James Morrison, Michael Jeffrey Pringle
