Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a slide-in menu that provides extended actions for grid layouts on touch screen devices. The slide-in menu provides a signposted visual interface object for user interaction with an application that is discoverable and usable and that provides several selectable options for touch-screen users, while requiring minimal screen real estate and retaining touch target sizes for individual screen controls that is appropriate for touch screen users. The slide-in menu may be augmented with an additional plurality of menu options and with a “more” button that displays the additional plurality of menu options.

Abstract: Systems, methods and media are provided for data mining information related to an out of stock product. One method includes receiving at a server from a mobile node located in a retail store customer information of a customer and product information of a product that is not found in an area of the retail store that is designated for the product and determining whether the product is out of stock at the retail store by interrogating an inventory of the product stored in a database. The customer information includes customer identification (ID) information. The method also includes informing the customer of an offer to award a purchasing bonus if it is determined that the product is out of stock, wherein the purchasing bonus is redeemable at the retail store when a future purchasing of the product is made within a specified time limit.
