20130204743 | MOBILE SHOPPING TOOLS UTILIZING COLOR-BASED IDENTIFICATION, SEARCHING AND MATCHING ENHANCEMENT OF SUPPLY CHAIN AND INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS - A mobile-enabled system, methods and interfaces for merchants and consumers to identify, search for and match products based on color. The mobile platform provides a number of additional features to enhance shopping experiences, including features which display and/or direct a user to products within a store, by color or other user preferences. These features are enabled by accessing and downloading a combination of store schematics, planogram data, and inventory management systems data. | 08-08-2013 |
20130249934 | COLOR-BASED IDENTIFICATION, SEARCHING AND MATCHING ENHANCEMENT OF SUPPLY CHAIN AND INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS - A color-based system, methods and interfaces to gather, identify, search for and match products using color as a primary indicator. The system, methods and interfaces are preferably implemented as an enhancement of proprietary merchant inventory management systems (IMS) and supply chain management systems (SCM) which enable the effective codification and evaluation of color-based data received and transformed from a number of different merchant IMS and SCM feeds. The system architecture further enables dynamic color processing, pattern recognition and a robust set of features for enhancing commercial experiences of and interactions between consumers and merchants. | 09-26-2013 |
20130262228 | Digital Marketing Platform With Formatted Advertising Feature Coupled To Normalized Inventory Management System and Supply Chain Management System Feeds - A marketing platform enhancement to generate and transmit formatted advertisements and digital catalogs by utilizing user demographics and preferences to generate targeted and micro-targeted marketing materials. The customized advertisements and digital catalogs that are created draw upon up-to-date information maintained by merchant supply chain management systems (SCM) and/or inventory management systems (IMS) to more effectively and more frequently advertise merchant products based on user preferences. | 10-03-2013 |
20130266217 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NORMALIZATION AND CODIFICATON OF COLORS FOR DYNAMIC ANALYSIS - A system and method for normalizing and codifying divergent color systems into a single universal color system. The middleware engine receives a data feed comprising a plurality of color swatches or images from one or more merchant system and normalizes the data feed into a common format. The dominant processor extracts the product images from the normalized data, segments each product image into segments, determines a dominant color for each segment, and determines the dominant product color for each product image based on prevalence of the dominant product color in each segment. The matched color processor converts the determined dominant product color into a digital value of the universal color system based on the color component intensity values. | 10-10-2013 |
20140052584 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING, SEARCHING AND MATCHING PRODUCTS BASED ON COLOR - A system and method for searching and matching products based on color using a universal color system comprises a plurality of processor based client devices, each client device uniquely associated with a user, a database engine comprising a plurality of products reverse mapped and organized in accordance with the hexadecimal color codes of the universal color system, and a processor based server. The server receives a color-based search query comprising user's color selection from a client device associated with a user over a communications network. The user's color selection comprises at least one hexadecimal color code of the universal color system. A color engine of the server searches the database engine for products having the hexadecimal color codes with a predetermined range of the hexadecimal color code of the user's color selection, and transmits the search result to the client device associated with the user over the communications network. | 02-20-2014 |
20150106235 | SYSTEM FOR NORMALIZING, CODIFYING AND CATEGORIZING COLOR-BASED PRODUCT AND DATA BASED ON A UNIVERISAL DIGITAL COLOR LANGUAGE - A system for normalizing, codifying categorizing divergent color systems into a universal color language. A server connected to a communications network receives, processes, codifies and categorizes divergent color data from a merchant system. A middleware engine of the server receives a data feed comprising a plurality of color swatches or images from the merchant system, and normalizes the data feed into a common format. A server processor extracts image data comprising a plurality of product images from the normalized data feed, identifies and converts at least one dominant product color in each product image to a digital value based on color component intensity values, and assigns a hexadecimal code of the universal color language to each product image that is closest to the digital value of each product image. A product categorization engine categorizes each product image into one of a plurality of product categories. | 04-16-2015 |
20150110390 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NORMALIZATION AND CODIFICATON OF COLORS FOR DYNAMIC ANALYSIS - A system and method for normalizing and codifying divergent color systems into a single universal color system. The middleware engine receives a data feed comprising a plurality of color swatches or images from one or more merchant system and normalizes the data feed into a common format. The dominant processor extracts the product images from the normalized data, segments each product image into segments, determines a dominant color for each segment, and determines the dominant product color for each product image based on prevalence of the dominant product color in each segment. The matched color processor converts the determined dominant product color into a digital value of the universal color system based on the color component intensity values. | 04-23-2015 |
