Abstract

Systems and methods for receiving product data for products featured in a media asset are described. In some embodiments, the system includes control circuitry that receives from a server data for a plurality of products featured in a media asset. The control circuitry generates for display a list including the plurality of products. The control circuitry determines whether a product in the list is associated with a coupon and/or a preferred vendor. The control circuitry visually distinguishes the product from other products in the list in response to determining that the product is associated with a coupon and/or a preferred vendor.

Claims (46)

1 . A method for receiving coupon and vendor data, the method comprising:

receiving, from a server, data for a plurality of products featured in a media asset;

generating for display, using control circuitry, a list including the plurality of products;

determining, using the control circuitry, that a product in the list is associated with at least one of a coupon and a preferred vendor; and

in response to the determining, visually distinguishing the product from other products in the list.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining, using the control circuitry, that the product in the list is associated with the at least one of the coupon and the preferred vendor comprises:

retrieving, from a memory, a profile for a user;

determining, using the control circuitry, that the profile includes the at least one of the coupon and the preferred vendor; and

determining, using the control circuitry, that the at least one of the coupon and the preferred vendor included in the profile is associated with the product.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the coupon is received from a vendor offering the product for purchase.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the coupon is received from one of an e-mail account, a t-commerce account, and a social media account for a user.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the coupon is received at an e-mail account for a user from a vendor offering the product for purchase and transferred to a t-commerce account for the user.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein visually distinguishing the product from other products in the list comprises:

generating for display, using the control circuitry, an icon for the product in the list.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein visually distinguishing the product from other products in the list comprises:

generating for display, using the control circuitry, a highlight for the product in the list.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein visually distinguishing the product from other products in the list comprises:

generating for display, using the control circuitry, the list including the product in a color different from one or more colors for the other products in the list.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein visually distinguishing the product from other products in the list comprises:

generating for display, using the control circuitry, the list including the product above the other products in the list.

10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating for display, using the control circuitry, one of a video clip and an image for each product in the list, wherein the one of the video clip and the image include a scene from the media asset featuring the product.

11 . A system for receiving coupon and vendor data, the system comprising:

control circuitry configured to:

receive, from a server, data for a plurality of products featured in a media asset;

generate for display a list including the plurality of products;

determine that a product in the list is associated with at least one of a coupon and a preferred vendor; and

in response to the determining, visually distinguish the product from other products in the list.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry configured to determine that a product in the list is associated with at least one of a coupon and a preferred vendor is further configured to:

retrieve, from a memory, a profile for a user;

determine that the profile includes the at least one of the coupon and the preferred vendor; and

determine that the at least one of the coupon and the preferred vendor included in the profile is associated with the product.

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the coupon is received from a vendor offering the product for purchase.

14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the coupon is received from one of an e-mail account, a t-commerce account, and a social media account for a user.

15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the coupon is received at an e-mail account for a user from a vendor offering the product for purchase and transferred to a t-commerce account for the user.

16 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry configured to visually distinguish the product from other products in the list is further configured to:

generate for display an icon for the product in the list.

17 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry configured to visually distinguish the product from other products in the list is further configured to:

generate for display a highlight for the product in the list.

18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry configured to visually distinguish the product from other products in the list is further configured to:

generate for display the list including the product in a color different from one or more colors for the other products in the list.

19 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry configured to visually distinguish the product from other products in the list is further configured to:

generate for display the list including the product above the other products in the list.

20 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:

generate for display one of a video clip and an image for each product in the list, wherein the one of the video clip and the image include a scene from the media asset featuring the product.

21 - 50 . (canceled)
