  • Patent number: 11790437
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for personalizing portable shopping displays using mobile devices and inaudible tones. Example methods may include causing a first inaudible tone to be emitted by a speaker, the first inaudible tone configured to initiate a change in a user interface at a mobile device, determining a second inaudible tone from a user device using a microphone, the second inaudible tone including a user identifier of a user, and determining a user interaction with a product at a product display. Certain example methods may include determining user preference data, and causing presentation of product information for the product using the user preference data.

  • Patent number: 11107128
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for portable interactive product displays with region-specific products. Example methods may include determining a set of product identifiers of products to be positioned at an interactive display, the set of product identifiers including a first product identifier for a first product, determining a user identifier associated with a user device positioned within a distance of the interactive display, and determining a user interaction with the first product by a user of the user device. Certain methods may include determining a user interaction history for the user using the user identifier, and determining that an indication of the user interaction is to be added to the user interaction hi story.

  • Patent number: 10540699
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for scene driven content creation. The systems, methods, and computer-readable media described herein may improve user experiences and speed of operation. In an example embodiment described herein, a method may include receiving a request for creating audiovisual content, providing a list of scene identifiers that are associated with a list of scenes for display, receiving data indicative of a first user selection selecting the first scene, providing data comprising an identifier of the first scene and an identifier of a first product associated with an audiovisual review, for display at an audiovisual capturing device during recording of the first scene, and providing the first scene for storage at a data store in association with the identifier of the first scene and the identifier of the first product.

  • Patent number: 10417356
    Abstract: Features are disclosed for dynamically generating enhanced content showing an item to simulate a physics property of the item via an interaction that will initiate such interactive features. A physics model may be generated to enhance existing content. To generate the physics model, the system analyzes the content such as to detect a feature of the item (e.g., zipper on a clothing item or button on an electronic device item) shown in the content. Some aspects also consider the access device rendering the enhanced content to ensure the enhanced content is appropriately selected and formatted for presentation via the access device.

  • Patent number: 10402068
    Abstract: Features are disclosed for dynamically generating a navigation interface for rendering content related to an item. To generate the interface, the system analyzes the content available and organizes the content in an intuitive way that keeps the user oriented as they explore the product. Some aspects also consider the access device rendering the interface to ensure the interface includes content that is appropriately selected and formatted for presentation via the access device.

  • Patent number: 10304125
    Abstract: Creating color swatches associated with a product based on capturing an image of the product applied to a model substrate is described. In an example, an image of a product on a color display mechanism may be accessed. At least a portion of the color display mechanism may include a model substrate that is substantially similar to an intended application substrate for the product. A color swatch corresponding to the product may be determined based at least in part on the image. An enhanced image may be generated based at least partly on the color swatch. The enhanced image may be an image depicting the product applied to the intended application substrate in an environment of use that is modified to include a color associated with the color swatch in a region of the image corresponding to the product.

  • Patent number: 10203847
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating a perspective view of item images and/or determining collections of similar items. For example, a set and/or collection of item images may be presented in a perspective view. One or more options may be selected by a user to update the set and/or collection of items and/or images. An updated set and/or collection may be determined, for example, by clustering the items and/or comparing items with the base item. One or more dimensions and/or attributes may be used to cluster and/or graph the items to determine new collections of items.

  • Patent number: 10019143
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining a principal image from a collection of images presented in a perspective view. A perspective view of images may be interactive and/or images may simultaneously increase or decrease in size in response to user interaction. Methods and/or techniques may be used to determine a principal image from a set of images based on a direction, speed, and/or velocity of movement or user interaction. A principal image in the perspective view may be the largest currently presented image and/or may be presented at the forefront to the user. Furthermore, an animation and/or video may be presented to the user following a determination of a principal image and/or after a configurable period of time without subsequent user interaction, which may further highlight or bring attention to a particular item to the user.

  • Patent number: 9715865
    Abstract: A projection equipped computing device is described that projects an accurate representation of an item available for purchase from an electronic marketplace onto a projection surface. For example, the device may identify physical dimensions of an item from an image of the item. The device may then determine the distance between it and the projection surface and project a light beam toward the projection surface to form a representation of the item on the projection surface. The representation of the item formed on projection surface has representative dimensions that mimic, at the determined distance, the physical dimensions of the item as identified from the image of the item. Accordingly, the user of the device can envision how the item would appear in a space located relative to the projection surface if the user purchased the item from the electronic marketplace and placed the item in that space.

  • Patent number: 9679532
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described that recommend images, items, and/or metadata based at least in part on a reference color palette or reference color name. A color name can be converted into a representation of the color name in a color space. The reference color can be used to identify images that contain the reference color. The identified images and associated metadata can be analyzed, sorted and provided as an ordered list of items. Systems and methods are also described that identify items that contain colors affiliated with the reference color. Systems and methods are also described that validate color identifier information in metadata associated with an image. Systems and methods are also described that identify non-color specific keywords associated with the reference color.

  • Publication number: 20150379168
    Abstract: Sensor data is received from an electronic device, the sensor data corresponding to a kinesthetic interaction by a user with respect to an electronic presentation of an item offered in an electronic marketplace. A material simulation model associated with the item is obtained, as is metadata related to the item. Sensory output is identified utilizing the sensor data, the metadata, and the material simulation model, the sensory output simulating a corresponding physical interaction by the user with the item. The sensory output may be provided for presentation on the electronic device.
