Abstract
A system for mining data about activity performed within a virtual shopping cart includes a server node for serving the virtual shopping cart and for enabling activity within the virtual shopping cart, and a module running on the server for analyzing activity performed within the virtual shopping cart and for recording results of the analysis. The activity data mined is aggregated with other data mined over time relative to the same shopping cart such that preference data related to product types, product styles, merchants, brands, colors, and sizes may be determined to help fine tune product offerings.
