Patent number: 11257049Abstract: An image of a receipt may be received by a service provider from a user device of a user. The receipt may be a record of a transaction between the user and a physical merchant. The service provider may extract text from the image and apply a predictive model trained on text data of historical receipts to the extracted text to identify keywords corresponding to items purchased in the transaction. The service provider may generate a shopping list for the user and/or may compare the keywords to descriptions of catalog items in an online catalog maintained by the service provider to identify catalog items that are the same or similar to the purchased items. The service provider may associate the catalog items with the user's account maintained by the service provider and generate a user interface to present on the user device that includes an indication of the catalog items.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2020Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Miguel Roman Durazo Almeida, Thanhthanh Anh Tran, Jongsun Jung, Rohin Patel, Anna Jin Li, Tarmandeep Toor, Shih-Ta Peng

Patent number: 9232388Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for implementing wireless service for a wireless device. In a representative embodiment, a service initiation system is executed in a computing device that communicates with a service provider system over a network to activate a wireless service associated with a newly purchased wireless device. The service initiation system also generates a network page to send to a client over the network, where the network page has a component that initiates a porting of a contact designation associated with a prior wireless device to the newly purchased wireless device separate from the activation of the wireless service for the newly purchased wireless device.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2015Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Shih-Ta Peng, Andrei V. Vilkotski, Siddhartha Singh, Yan Zhang
