Systems and methods are described for analyzing one or more online shopping missions to determine an estimated stage of a user within the mission and to adjust content for display to the user based on the estimated stage of the user within the mission. The estimated stage of the user within the mission may be determined using a model, such as a machine learning model, that accepts as input signals corresponding to the online shopping mission. The signals may represent user interface interactions and/or other data relating to the user and the mission.

An electronic commerce (e-commerce) system may send advertisement emails to customers that are registered with the e-commerce system. The advertisement emails may include mailto hyperlinks. Each mailto hyperlink may be associated with a product that is being offered for sale, and each mailto hyperlink describes an email message that may be generated when that hyperlink is selected. When a mailto hyperlink is selected, the generated email message may include one or more parameters related to the product associated with the hyperlink, such as an identifier of the product. The generated email message may then be transmitted to the e-commerce system. The e-commerce system may receive the message and, based on the parameters in the received message, execute a transaction to purchase the identified product on behalf of the customer.

A system and method for creation, distribution and tracking of advertising via electronic networks, enabling creation of advertisements using licensed third party content and placement of said ads at desired network locations, utilizing an auction of ad spaces based on bids placed by advertisers to have their ads displayed at such locations. When a network user/ad viewer requests an ad by clicking or other action, an auction algorithm executes to select the ad to be displayed from those that bid for display at such ad space location and then the ad is composed and delivered to the ad space location by accessing a relational database storing commands that retrieve, assemble and dispatch the licensed ad content. Usage and display of licensed content on designated ad space is tracked to enable cost-per-use charging for both use of licensed content and ad display at the designated ad space.

A method includes storing one or more interest indicators for providing communications for resources associated with a plurality of second service providers, and then receiving, a fulfillment request from an application in an end user device. The fulfillment request being for resources to be fulfilled by a first service provider. The method also includes determining one or more interest indicators from the retrieved interest indicators associated with the second service providers and providing one or more communications associated with at least one of the determined one or more interest indicators of one or more second service providers to the application along with a display of a service provider identifier of the first service provider or the resources to be fulfilled by the first service provider.

In an approach for enabling multiple users to make e-commerce purchases from interactive advertisements using wearable device gestures, a processor identifies a wearable device attempting to pair with a smart display. A processor verifies a user wearing the wearable device is an authenticated user. A processor detects a gesture made by the user based on a sensor of the wearable device. A processor identifies an action the gesture is mapped to. A processor determines whether the user is authorized to complete the action mapped to the gesture detected. Responsive to determining that the user is authorized to complete the action mapped to the gesture, a processor completes the action the gesture is mapped to.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to from each of a plural order-receiving companies that make-to-order a product ordered by an orderer, receive at least one index value related to a production efficiency of the product and control advertisement distribution to an ordering terminal used by the orderer of the product for an order of the product, so that an advertisement of an order-receiving company having a larger distribution score, that is obtained from the index value for each order-receiving company and indicates a larger value as the production efficiency of the product increases, has a higher degree of contact that the orderer of the product contacts the advertisement.

A computer-implemented method for ingesting and presenting a video with associated linked products and metadata as a unified actionable shopping experience may include accessing a video file, receiving information about an object, the information including a link to a merchant portal or web page through which the object may be purchased, combining the video file and information about the object into a social media post, and delivering the social media post to consumers.

A method and system for receiving digital artifacts from a management server. The method includes sending a request for a digital artifact from a mobile application to the management server for display within a specific mobile application generated screen, receiving the digital artifact from the management server, and displaying the digital artifact with the specific mobile application generated screen.
