Abstract: Systems and methods are provided and include a computer terminal located at a flooring store that receives a measured color of a flooring product. A server receives paint product catalog information from a computer system located at a coating manufacturer facility, determines paint colors that coordinate with the flooring product based on the paint product catalog information, and runs a paint product ordering application that interacts with a web browser of the computer terminal. The computer terminal receives a paint product ordering web page from the server that enables a user to create an order for a paint product based on a selected paint color and transmits the order to the server. The server receives the order and communicates the order to the computer system at the coating manufacturer facility. The computer system receives the order for order fulfillment, including creating, packing, and shipping the paint product to the user.

Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to e-commerce tags in multimedia content. In an example, multimedia content is received and item-recognition techniques are performed to identify one or more items referenced in the content. An interactive element is generated that indicates information about a given referenced item, and that interactive element is displayed while the multimedia content is output. Selection of the interactive element may cause a purchasing user interface to be displayed with item and/or or payment information prepopulated based at least in part on identified attributes of the item and/or user preferences determined from historical purchase data associated with the user.

Abstract: A modular slide for use on a staircase includes at least a first slide module with an entry section having an entry surface defining a seat and a gripping surface substantially opposite the entry surface. The modular slide also has a ramp section with an elongated surface extending from the entry section towards a terminal end of the ramp section, an underside being configured to rest upon portions of the staircase, and two opposing sidewalls spanning both the ramp section and the entry section and having an upper edge defining a handrail. An identical second slide module is configured to overlap and integrate with an upper portion of the first slide module to form a continuous slide surface and a continuous handrail of an extended modular slide.
