A user is provided a display or user interface that is tailored to the user based on a community the user is a part of. Based on interactions with and/or modifications to the display by other users of the community, the display or user interface is tailored to the user to show a similar display as desired by those in the user's community. This provides a better display or user interface that allows a user to quickly access product information and/or commerce functionalities that they are more likely to use. This display or user interface is displayed as an electronic document, such as a web page, that is viewed by the user in an electronic document viewing program, such as an Internet browser.

An inventory management system includes a beacon or button connected to a warehouse server. The beacon buttons are placed in or near a product storage area with a number of products. The beacon has a controller and a transceiver to communicate with a server. There is a user input on the front of the beacon and several sensors able to detect a user identity and interaction with the products. When the user input is triggered, the beacon sends a message to the warehouse server including a user identity and other sensor data. Additionally, the beacon includes an energy harvester configured to power the beacon from ambient or user provided energy.
