Method for displaying items on a 3-D shape
A computer-implemented method for providing instructions for displaying items. The computer-implemented method includes receiving a request to display items at a device; and providing instructions for displaying the items on a three-dimensional shape such that a manageable number of items are able to be displayed for browsing.
1. A computer-implemented method for grouping tags such that a subset of items may be displayed, said computer-implemented method comprising:
accessing, by one or more processors of a device, data associated with a plurality of items, wherein said data comprises a plurality of tags describing said plurality of items;
hierarchically grouping, by the one or more processors, said tags into smaller groups until a count of said smaller groups reaches a predetermined threshold value such that a subset of said plurality of items are able to be displayed,
the hierarchical grouping utilizing a popularity of tags from one or more previous searches, and a popularity of tags from most purchased items to group said tags into said smaller groups; and
constructing, on a display of the device, a plurality of two-dimensional images corresponding to the subset of said plurality of items scrollable around a portion of a displayed three-dimensional object displayed on said display, wherein each of said plurality of two-dimensional images can be rotated concurrently about a central axis of said displayed three-dimensional object displayed on said display; and
moving, by the one or more processors, said plurality of two-dimensional images of said subset of said plurality of items around said displayed three dimensional object displayed on said display.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said accessing data further comprises:
accessing data associated with a plurality of merchandise items.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said hierarchically grouping said tags into smaller groups further comprises:
hierarchically grouping said tags into smaller groups based on a descending count of said tags until said count reaches a predetermined threshold.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said hierarchically grouping said tags into smaller groups further comprises:
hierarchically grouping said tags into smaller groups based on vendor input until said count reaches a predetermined threshold.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
triggering display of said subset of said plurality of items associated with one of said smaller groups that reaches said predetermined threshold value.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying said plurality of two-dimensional images of said subset of said plurality of items on said three-dimensional object displayed on said display, wherein said items in a rear of said three-dimensional object displayed on said display are visible without requiring re-arrangement of said plurality of two-dimensional images of said subset of said plurality of items.
