A system and method supporting the assisted creation of media content documenting the details of completing a step-by-step project by a consumer in an Internet-based, social networking/social e-commerce environment.

Method and system for creating step by step projects

A computing device (e.g., a server) coupled to a digital signage device may receive characteristic information associated with a visitor of the digital signage device. The received characteristic information may be analyzed, and based on a result of the analysis, advertisement attributes may be determined. The computing device may select, based on the determined advertisement attributes, a particular advertisement from a plurality of advertisement bids. The computing device may cause display of the selected particular advertisement on the digital signage device for the visitor. The characteristic information may be generated by the digital signage device utilizing a video analytics. The computing device may receive particular gesture information associated with a mobile device of the visitor who responds to the displayed particular advertisement. The computing device may cause a cloud computing platform to push content associated with the particular advertisement into the mobile device for the visitor to place an order.

Method and system for gesture-based cross channel commerce and marketing

Various embodiments include systems and methods that provide a socially interactive application for requesting, searching, and sharing visual step-by-step instructions and related information to complete a project.

Systems and methods for providing and accessing visual product representations of a project

A system and method supporting the assisted creation of media content documenting the details of completing a step-by-step project by a consumer in an Internet-based, social networking/social e-commerce environment. For example, a first user may create web pages documenting a multi-step project, including tagging items such as ingredients, products, utensils, and/or materials that appear in project web page images, with information and links for purchasing the tagged items. A collection of images for use in creating the project web pages may be automatically retrieved from web pages identified by the user. Other users, upon viewing the project web pages may create additional web page(s) documenting their own step variations that are then associated with one or more steps of the project of the first user. Users may choose which of the original project steps and/or step variations to include when requesting information for a customized project of their own choice.

A system receives from a customer having an associated rewards points account a price offer for an item. The system determines if the price offer for the item is below an established threshold price, e.g., a price a retailer would accept for the item. When the price offer for the item is below the established threshold price, the system determines an amount of rewards points to be redeemed by the customer to thereby allow the customer to purchase the item at the price offer for the item as received from the customer. The system then allows the item to be purchased by the customer at the price offer for the item as received from the customer in the event that the customer indicates a willingness to redeem the determined amount of rewards points from their associated rewards points account.

System and method for handling an offer to purchase a followed item

Various embodiments provide a system and method that enables negotiation, creation, and distributed fulfillment of joint gift registries supporting enhanced social interaction among registrants and prospective purchasers.

Joint gift registry

Methods and apparatus are disclosed provide various enhancements and/or improvements to the conventional shopping process used by brick-and-mortar stores. In some embodiments, a customer may use a mobile computing device, such as a smart phone, to select and pay for items in a brick-and-mortar store. Such shopping process may permit the customer to purchase numerous items without the using of shopping basket or a wheeled shopping cart. The shopping process may further permit the customer to pay for items and leave the store with such items without waiting in a checkout line.

Checkout and/or ordering systems and methods

A computing device receives information that is representative of a location of a mobile device and uses the information representative of the location of the mobile device to select one or more maps corresponding to a retail establishment. The computing device also receives information that is representative of a customer and uses the information representative of the customer to place on the one or more selected maps indicia indicative of one or more locations within the retail establishment at which one or more items determined to be of interest to the customer are located. The one or more selected maps with the indicia are then provided to the mobile device for display.
