Abstract

Claims (89)

1. A computer implemented method comprising:

receiving, from an external device by one or more computing devices, an image and metadata associated with the image;

placing, by the one or more computing devices, an HTML code snippet at a coordinate location within the image, the code snippet being configured to cause output of a browsing activity tracking data, the coordinate location corresponding to a detected change in the grayscale vector, and the coordinate location being identified by a range of x, y coordinates within the image;

rendering, by the one or more computing devices, an interactive page on a user interface, the interactive page including the image and the metadata associated with the image;

detecting, by the one or more computing devices, a browsing activity associated with the image;

activating, by the one or more computing devices, the HTML code snippet in response to detecting the browsing activity at the coordinate location;

correlating, by the one or more computing devices, the code snippet output with the metadata to generate image browsing track data; and

generating, by the one or more computing devices, a user browsing profile including the image browsing track data.

2. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a search query for an item of interest from a user;

performing a search operation for the item of interest;

augmenting the search operation with user data from the user browsing profile; and

providing one or more search results based on the user browsing profile.

3. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the activating further comprises:

monitoring a time window associated with the browsing activity, and

in response to the time window exceeding a predetermined time threshold, capturing the browsing activity tracking data output by the HTML code snippet.

4. The computer implemented method of claim 3 , wherein the metadata associated with the image correspond to one or more components of an object displayed within the image.

5. The computer implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the metadata associated with the image further correspond to identification information of the one or more components and a description of the one or more components.

6. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting a zoom-in activity associated with the browsing activity;

measuring a time duration of the zoom-in activity;

in response to the time duration being above a predetermined threshold value:

identifying at least one coordinate associated with a zoom-in region,

identifying metadata associated with the at least one coordinate,

correlating the identified at least one coordinate with the identified metadata to generate updated image browsing track data; and

augmenting the user browsing profile with the updated image browsing track data.

7. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a search query for an item of interest; and

providing one or more search results based on the user browsing profile and a browsing profile of one or more other users.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions that when executed by a processor perform operations comprising:

receiving, from an external device by one or more computing devices, an image and metadata associated with the image;

generating, by the one or more computing devices, an intensity map of a grayscale vector corresponding to the image, the intensity map representing changes of detected intensity within the image;

placing, by the one or more computing devices, an HTML code snippet at a coordinate location within the image, the code snippet being configured to cause output of a browsing activity tracking data, the coordinate location corresponding to a detected change in the grayscale vector, and the coordinate location being identified by a range of x, y coordinates within the image;

rendering, by the one or more computing devices, an interactive page on a user interface, the interactive page including the image and the metadata associated with the image;

detecting, by the one or more computing devices, a browsing activity associated with the image;

activating, by the one or more computing devices, the HTML code snippet in response to detecting the browsing activity at the coordinate location;

correlating, by the one or more computing devices, the code snippet output with the metadata to generate image browsing track data; and

generating, by the one or more computing devices, a user browsing profile including the image browsing track data.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a search query for an item of interest from a user;

performing a search operation for the item of interest;

augmenting the search operation with user data from the user browsing profile; and

providing one or more search results based on the user browsing profile.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the activating operation further comprises:

monitoring a time window associated with the browsing activity, and

in response to the time window exceeding a predetermined time threshold, capturing the browsing activity tracking data output by the HTML code snippet.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the metadata associated with the image correspond to one or more components of an object displayed within the image.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the metadata associated with the image further correspond to identification information of the one or more components and a description of the one or more components.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:

detecting a zoom-in activity associated with the browsing activity;

measuring a time duration of the zoom-in activity;

in response to the time duration being above a predetermined threshold value:

identifying at least one coordinate associated with a zoom-in region,

identifying metadata associated with the at least one coordinate,

correlating the identified at least one coordinate with the identified metadata to generate updated image browsing track data; and

augmenting the user browsing profile with the updated image browsing track data.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a search query for an item of interest; and

providing one or more search results based on the user browsing profile and a browsing profile of one or more other users.

15. A computing system comprising:

non-transitory memory; and
