  • Patent number: 10880114
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided to allow for merchant or third party controlled adjustment of a physical environment around a user. Such adjustments may be in response to user actions and may create a more immersive experience for the user. Such adjustments may be determined from interaction data received from a user device, with may identify a service provider, a product, or an activity that the user is currently engaging in or is interested in. One or more secondary devices may be identified to be within an area around the user device and one or more environmental rules associated with the service provider, product, or activity may be determined and communicated to the one or more secondary devices to cause the one or more secondary devices to adjust a physical environment of the area proximate the user device.

  • Publication number: 20200021749
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for digital image filtering and post-capture processing using user specific data. A computing device may include a camera that records media of a scene, including images or videos. A user may utilize the computing device to add filters, graphical overlays, or other effects to the recorded media, which may alter pixel data for pixels of the media or blend graphics into the media. When adding image effects to images, the device or a service provider that offers and image hosting and/or sharing platform may determine recommendations for particular image effects to use when recording and processing the image. The recommended effects may be based on effects used in past media, as well as user information, and may change an appearance of the output media in a particular way specific to the user, media, and/or scene.

  • Patent number: 10515393
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for image data detection for micro-expression analysis and targeted data services. A user may utilize a communication device, where during use of the communication device, one or more images of the user are captured by the communication device. The image(s) may be analyzed to identify at least one micro-expression of the user during use of the communication device, for example, at a time of performing online purchasing or messaging with other merchants or users. The micro-expression may then be used to determine a user state for the user at the time of use of the communication device, where an action or process may be executed with the communication device in response to the user state. In various embodiments, a service provider may be utilized to determine the user's state based on the micro-expression and execute an action based on the user's state.

  • Publication number: 20190295506
    Abstract: A system or a method may be provided that may detect a movement or activity of a user via the user's mobile and/or wearable devices. The system may adjust the display interface based on the user's detected movement or activity. When a user is very active (biking or jogging), the user may have very limited amount of time or attention to interact with a display interface. The movement or activity of the user may be detected by a motion detection device installed on the mobile device or on the wearable device. When the user is active, the display interface may adjust to enlarge the information to make it easier for the user to view, read, or interact with. The system may also select and display important information, without other peripheral information (less important information) when the user is active.

  • Publication number: 20190102813
    Abstract: A method includes determining that a chat text provided in a chat session between first and second chat application instances is directed to a transaction negotiation, the chat session for facilitating communication between the chat application instances. The method includes determining, in an image associated with the transaction, first and second image elements that are associated with the transaction. Responsive to the determination that the chat text is directed to the negotiation of the transaction, the method can generate an invoice for a first transaction portion that is associated with the first element. The method can provide the invoice, via the chat session, to the first and/or chat application instance. Responsive to determining that the first transaction portion is performed, the method can determines to indicate, via the image, that the first element is unavailable for additional transactions.

  • Publication number: 20170249689
    Abstract: There is provided a system and method of automated processing of online social networking data for integration with an inventory management system. A merchant or other selling entity may post data to a social networking platform, where the posted data includes an item for sale. A transaction processor may process the post data to determine the item for sale with a backend merchant inventory management system or other sales platform. The transaction processor may then poll comments to the posted data to determine whether any users are requesting to purchase the item. If the transaction processor identifies a purchase request, the transaction processor may interface with the merchant's sales platform to determine availability, cost, and other parameters, and may generate an invoice for the item. The invoice may be communicated to the user, and the transaction processor may update the merchant with results from processing the invoice.
