The present invention relates to a method, device and computer program for providing image search information. The method for an electronic device to provide image search information according to the present invention comprises: a step of generating a query by using an image if a predetermined query generation event occurs while playing the image; a step of transmitting the query to a server; and a step of receiving a search result corresponding to the query from the server and displaying same on a screen, wherein the search result is a search result of at least one object included in the image. A purpose of the invention is to provide a method, device and program for providing image search information, allowing the search of a product similar to a product exposed in an image, without an additional input of a search word.

Embodiments described herein are directed to computer-implemented methods, systems, and computer program products for calculating a metric using natural language processing tokens. A non-limiting example of the computer-implemented method includes parsing, by a processing device, user content using a natural language processing technique to extract tokens. The method further includes filtering, by the processing device, the tokens relating to a natural language processing criterion. The method further includes calculating, by the processing device, a metric based at least in part on the filtered tokens. The method further includes determining, by the processing device, whether to take an action by applying the metric to a set of rules. The method further includes taking the action responsive to determining to take the action.

A system and method for dynamically displaying a digital representation of one or more recommended print products on a user interface of a computing device is provided. The method comprises providing a digital representation of each of a plurality of print products stored in a computer memory, wherein the plurality of print products are categorized into at least one of a plurality of print product groups that include a first print product group; identifying a geographic location or a time of year; selecting the first print product group using the processor of the computing device, wherein the first print product group is selected based on the identified geographic location or time of year; and displaying the digital representations corresponding to at least one of the plurality of print products included within the first print product group on the user interface. Other aspects are also disclosed.

A method of visualizing search results is provided. The method includes receiving a content feature, detecting, within a network, a subnetwork pattern representing a relationship satisfying a condition and associated with an entity of a first or a second type, the entity being associated with the content feature, and generating a visualization based on the detected subnetwork pattern. The visualization includes a first region representative of the first type of entity, a second region representative of the second type of entity, and a linking region connecting the first region to the second region and providing information about the represented relationship.

Disclosed is a system and method for receiving, at a user device, data from a near-field-communication tag on an object, initiating, based on the data, a browser on the user device, navigating, based on the data and via the browser, to a site and transmitting authorized payment data or other task to the site based on payment data retrieved from either the user device or a network entity. The data can be communicated from the browser to the site through an application programming interface. Any task can be performed as well such as opening a door, starting a car, or renting a parking space.

A mobile device can establish a communication with a separate device via a single function action such as bringing the devices near to each other. A method can include establishing a communication between a mobile device and a separate device a via a wireless link, presenting an instruction associated with the potential purchase and receiving, after the instruction is displayed and interpreted by the mobile device, a combination of a first type of input and a second type of input with the mobile device, at least one of which can be a security measure to prevent unauthorized purchase. The method includes retrieving the payment data from a memory of the mobile device and transmitting the payment data via the wireless link to the separate device to make a purchase.

A service may provide an e-commerce platform through which users may search for, view, and purchase products. To ensure users receive relevant results when querying for particular products or product classes, a list of ranked classes may be generated, from which the query results are based. For example, products may be classified into classes and particular text from search data may be associated with one or more of the products based on click log data. For instance, input text from previously performed queries may be associated with products interacted with following those queries (e.g., products clicked on to view/purchase). Training data that associates the particular text with the respective one or more classes into which the clicked on products are classified may be generated, and in response to receiving a query including the particular text as input, the list of ranked classes may be generated based on the training data.

A method for three-dimension (3D) based shopping, the method may include receiving or generating a 3D representation of at least a part of a body of a certain customer; receiving a query to find a first wearable item that fits the part of the body; searching for the first wearable item; displaying on a display that is accessible to the certain customer a 3D model of the first wearable item when worn over the part of the body; and interacting with the certain customer till a completion of the 3D based shopping.

A method and system for replacing a hardware device is provided. The method includes detecting current utilization attributes of an Internet of things (IOT) device connected to a server device through a network. Recommended utilization attributes of the IOT device are retrieved and analyzed with respect to the current utilization attributes. It is determined that the current utilization attributes do not equal a threshold value associated with the recommended utilization attributes and optimal utilization attributes for replacing the IOT device are determined. A network based search for locating a replacement IOT device is executed and associated results are presented to a user. A resulting process for securing the replacement device is executed.

Systems and methods are disclosed for providing a subscription travel service. The systems and methods include operations for determining a geographical location of a user of a subscription-based travel service; searching a list of travel services that are available for the user to consume on a travel date to identify candidate travel services; computing a likelihood of consumption value for the user based on transportation criteria associated with arriving at a given travel service in the list of travel services from the geographical location of the user; determining that the likelihood of consumption value for the user is less than a threshold; increasing a travel cost value associated with the given travel service in response to determining that the likelihood of consumption value is less than the threshold; and generating, for display in a graphical user interface to the user, an interactive visual representation of the given travel service.
