  • Patent number: 11704716
    Abstract: A user identifies products offered by the user to an online system. The online system identifies a product offered by the user in an image by applying a identification model to the image. If the online system identifies a product in the image with at least a maximum confidence value, the online system automatically tags the post with metadata about the product or suggests a tag to the user. If an object in the image could be one of multiple products, the online system identifies the multiple products to the user, which may be ordered based on confidences of matching the object, allowing the user to select which product is in the image. If the unlisted identifies a product in the image with less than a minimum confidence value, the online system identifies the user's offered products and suggests that the user select a product.

  • Patent number: 11663648
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing a multi-listing combined offer are provided. A networked system receives an indication to add a combination of items from multiple sellers into a virtual cart. In response, the networked system causes presentation of a user interface showing a combination of items from multiple sellers. The networked system receives, from the buyer, a buyer offer price for the combination of items. In response, the networked system accesses, from a data storage, item information for each item of the combination of items, whereby the item information includes a seller identifier, an original item price, and shipping cost for each item. The networked system then generates, based on the accessed item information and the buyer offer price, a split offer price for each seller, whereby the split offer price is a split of the buyer offer price. The split offer price is then presented to each corresponding seller.
