Abstract

Methods and systems for voice-based identification of related products/services are provided. Exemplary systems may include a wireless communication-based tag reader that polls for a tag and reads information associated with the tag and a processor that executes instructions to identify a product/service associated with the tag, identify a plurality of products/services stored in a product/service database identified as related to the product/service associated with the tag, filter through the plurality of related products/services based on a trend to identify a set of one or more related products/services, and generate a voice-based utterance based on the identified set of one or more related products/services. Such systems may further include a speaker that plays the generated voice-based utterance resulting in presentation of an offer regarding the identified set of one or more related products/services and a microphone that is activated to capture any voice-based response after the generated voice-based utterance is played.

Claims (46)

1. A system for voice-based identification of related products/services, the system comprising:

a wireless transmission-based reader that:

polls to detect a wireless transmission-based tag; and

reads information associated with the wireless transmission-based tag;

a database remote from the wireless transmission-based reader, the remote database storing information regarding a plurality of products/services that are related to products associated with one or more wireless transmission-based tags;

a processor that executes instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by the processor:

identifies a product associated with the information read from the wireless transmission-based tag based on the information stored in the remote database regarding the plurality of related products/services;

filters through the plurality of related products/services based on at least one parameter associated with a trend to identify a set of one or more related products/services that meet the at least one parameter associated with the trend; and

generates a voice-based utterance that identifies an offering associated with at least one related product/service of the plurality of related products/services stored at the remote database;

a speaker that plays the generated voice-based utterance, wherein the played voice-based utterance presents an offer regarding the identified set of one or more related products/services; and

a microphone that is activated to capture any voice-based response after the generated voice-based utterance is played.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the stored information further includes information regarding a relationship between the product and each of the related products/services.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the stored information further includes at least a portion of the voice-based utterance indicative of the set of one or more related products/services.

4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a server remote from the wireless transmission-based reader, wherein the processor is located at the remote server.

5. The system of claim 4 , further comprising a communication network interface that communicates with the remote server over a communication network.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one parameter is specific to at least one of a designated user, a user account, a user preference, and a user device.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor further executes instructions to identify another set of products/services related to at least one of the related products/services.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the wireless transmission-based tag includes one or more uniform resource locators (URLs) each linking to a remote web server.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the voice-based response corresponds to a purchase of the at least one related product/service according to the offering.

10. A method for voice-based identification of related products/services, the method comprising:

polling to detect a wireless transmission-based tag via a wireless transmission reader;

reading information associated with the wireless transmission-based tag via the wireless transmission reader;

executing instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by a processor:

identifies a product associated with the information read from the wireless transmission-based tag based on information stored in a remote database, the remote database storing information regarding a plurality of products/services that are related to products associated with one or more wireless tags;

filters through the plurality of related products/services based on at least one parameter associated with a trend to identify a set of one or more related products/services that meet the at least one parameter associated with the trend; and

generates a voice-based utterance that identifies an offering associated with at least one related product/service of the plurality of related products/services stored at the remote database;

playing the generated voice-based utterance, wherein the played voice-based utterance presents an offer regarding the identified set of one or more related products/services; and

activating a microphone to capture any voice-based response after the generated voice-based utterance is played.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the stored information further includes information regarding a relationship between the product and each of the related products/services.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the stored information further includes at least a portion of the voice-based utterance indicative of the set of one or more related products/services.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the processor is located at a server remote from the wireless transmission reader.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising communicating with the remote server over a communication network via a communication network interface.

15. The method of claim 10 , further comprising storing information regarding the product and the related products/services in remote database.

16. The method of claim 10 , wherein the at least one parameter is specific to at least one of a designated user, a user account, a user preference, and a user device.

17. The method of claim 10 , further comprising identifying another set of products/services related to at least one of the related products/services.

18. The method of claim 10 , wherein the information associated with the wireless transmission-based tag includes one or more uniform resource locators (URLs) each linking to a remote web server.

19. The method of claim 10 , further comprising capturing the voice-based response, the voice-based response authorizing a purchase of the at least one related product/service according to the offering.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, having embodied thereon a program executable by a processor to perform a method for voice-based identification of related products/services, the method comprising:

polling to detect a wireless transmission-based tag via a wireless transmission reader;

reading information associated with the wireless transmission-based tag via the wireless transmission reader;

identifying a product associated with the information read from the wireless transmission-based tag based on information stored in a remote database, the remote database storing information regarding a plurality of products/services that are related to products associated with one or more wireless tags;

filtering through the plurality of related products/services based on at least one parameter associated with a trend to identify a set of one or more related products/services that meet the at least one parameter associated with the trend;

generating a voice-based utterance that identifies an offering associated with at least one related product/service of the plurality of related products/services stored at the remote database;

playing the generated voice-based utterance, wherein the played voice-based utterance presents an offer regarding the identified set of one or more related products/services; and

activating a microphone to capture any voice-based response after the generated voice-based utterance is played.

21. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 20 , the program further executable to capture a voice-based response authorizing a purchase of the at least one related product/service according to the offering.
