A computer-implemented method for providing a 3-D shopping experience to an online shopping environment is implemented by a 3-D shopping rendering computer system. The method includes storing, within the memory, a plurality of 3-D product images, wherein each of the plurality of 3-D product images is associated with a product identifier, grouping the plurality of product identifiers into a plurality of shopping groupings, receiving a product request, wherein the product request includes a first product identifier included within the plurality of product identifiers from an online shopping computer system, generating a virtual shopping layout based upon a first shopping grouping included within the plurality of shopping groupings at the 3-D shopping rendering computer system, rendering a virtual shopping experience based on the virtual shopping layout, wherein the virtual shopping experience represents a navigable online shopping experience, and providing the virtual shopping experience to the online shopping computer system.

Various aspects and embodiments described herein may use image segmentation technology to enhance communication relating to user-to-user online commerce. Image segmentation technology may be applied to a digital image that a sharing user posts in an online venue to identify one or more segments in the digital image depicting one or more items and one or more tags may be associated with the item(s) depicted in each segment. Accordingly, when an interested user selects a segment in the digital image, information to display to the interested user can be selected (e.g., sorted, filtered, etc.) according to the one or more tags corresponding to the item(s) depicted in the selected segment (e.g., the displayed information may include relevant comments, descriptive information, etc. associated with the depicted item(s). The various aspects and embodiments described herein may thereby focus communication between sharing users and interested users in relation to user-to-user online commerce experiences.

Embodiments of systems and methods for the aggregation, analysis, display and monetization of pricing data for commodities in general, and which may be particularly useful applied to vehicles are disclosed. Specifically, in certain embodiments, historical transaction data associated with a particular vehicle configuration may be obtained and processed to determine pricing data associated with the vehicle configuration. The historical transaction data or determined pricing data may then be presented in an intuitive manner.

Example embodiments of a system and method for image-based listing of an item, using an image of multiple items, are generally described herein. In some example embodiments, an image-based listing system includes an identifying module to identify a portion of an image of multiple items, the portion of the image depicting the item; a tagging module to associate tag information with the portion of the image, the tag information being associated with the item; and a listing module to list the item, the listing of the item comprising displaying at least some tag information.

A vehicle preparation and delivery method has the steps of the user logging in to the system providing a salesperson menu for a salesperson comprising the steps of viewing the status of vehicles in progress by a stock reference, requesting a car and scheduling a car delivery time; and providing a porter menu for a porter comprising the steps of displaying in progress requests indexed by stock reference, delivering the vehicle, and informing whether the vehicle has been sold or not sold and returned to the garage, and locating the vehicle, comprising displaying a map of the garage location of the vehicle and the location within the garage, displaying adjacent vehicles and suggesting which adjacent vehicles must be removed to remove the vehicle, and adding one or more completed actions in association with the vehicle.

An information management and synchronous communications system and method facilitates database equilibrium and synchronization with wired, wireless and Web-based systems, user-friendly and efficient generation of computerized menus and reservations with handwritten/voice modifications for restaurants and other applications that utilize equipment with nonstandard graphical formats, display sizes and/or applications for use in remote data entry, information management and communication with host computer, digital input device or remote pager via standard hardwired connection, the internet, a wireless link, printer or the like. Various operations employing automated telephone calls and/or messaging may, for instance, be performed. For example, desired reservation and/or appointment information may be automatically converted and conveyed to one or more entities via automated telephone call and/or messaging. As another example, information regarding reservation acceptability may be received and automatically converted via automated telephone call and/or messaging. Telephones may, for instance, be the only equipment required by the entities.

A system and method for automatically submitting an online order from a customer to a restaurant. Input data and customer data is used by an order engine to select a deployment platform, such as social media networks, search engines, mobile applications, and related websites, for a user interface. The order engine provides a unique identifier for each restaurant. The unique identifier can be used by third parties, such as online content providers, to return the menu for the restaurant included in the third party content. The user interface automatically populates the restaurant's menu options and business data, allowing the customer to build an order. The order engine submits the order to the restaurant via a non-verbal communication platform.

A method includes displaying, by a display screen, a front view of a card for sale. The front view includes a front plan view in which a front surface of the card appears to be parallel with a front surface of the screen. The card is portrayed on the screen as rotating oscillatorily while remaining less than 90 degrees from the front plan view.

A tool for generating and publishing vehicle offers by matching up manufacturer incentive data and vehicle data received from a third party data source with inventory data received from a dealership data source is disclosed. The disclosed tool allows a user to match incentive and vehicle data to specific vehicles currently in a dealership's inventory and to generate custom offers for those specific vehicles that uniquely identify the specific vehicles from dealership's inventory.

Provided are computer-implemented techniques for determining a probability of selling an (F&I) automotive commodity associated with a vehicle of interest to a consumer. Individual consumer data about the consumer interested in acquiring a vehicle is retrieved using an electronic interview. Dealer management system (DMS) data is retrieved and includes transactional data relating to automotive commodities. Group consumer data is retrieved about other consumers who have previously purchased the vehicle of interest, vehicles similar to the vehicle of interest, or automotive commodities associated with the vehicle of interest. Consumer resource data is retrieved from an online consumer resource. Deal data indicative of transactional terms is retrieved. The techniques predicatively analyze the retrieved data and compute a probability of selling at least one of the automotive commodities to the consumer based on predictive analysis. The techniques generate a displayable visual indicator that relates to the computed probability.
