Abstract

Example embodiments of the present disclosure include a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a computer-implemented method for providing a native selling platform. In example embodiments, an operating system of a device is configured to share information with other devices and services using native functionalities of the operating system. An indication to share an image of an item is received. A sharing user interface is presented that includes a plurality of services with which the image of the item is sharable. A selection of a publication system from the plurality of services is received. In response, a listing user interface is presented that includes fields for input of parameters used to generate a listing for the item in the image. Parameters and an indication to list the item are received and are shared with the publication system to cause the publication system to create the listing for the item.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions which integrate a native selling platform into an operating system of a mobile device, the instructions, when executed by at least one processor of the mobile device, cause the operating system of the mobile device to perform operations comprising:
receiving an indication to share an image of an item;
responsive to receiving the indication to share, presenting a sharing user interface of the native selling platform of the operating system, the sharing user interface of the native selling platform including a plurality of services for sharing the image of the item with users of the services; and
without navigating from native operating system user interfaces:
receiving, via the sharing user interface, a selection of a publication system from the plurality of services;
responsive to receiving the selection of the publication system, presenting a listing user interface of the native selling platform of the operating system, the listing user interface including fields for input of parameters used to generate a listing for the item in the image;
receiving, via the listing user interface, the parameters and an indication to list the item; and
responsive to receiving the indication to list, sharing, by the mobile device, the parameters and the image with the publication system to cause the publication system to generate the listing for the item.

2. The machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the parameters and the image are shared using a share component of the operating system of the mobile device.

3. The machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the listing user interface further includes an identification of a social network to which data corresponding to the listing at the publication system is postable.

4. The machine-readable medium of claim 3 , wherein the operations further comprise:
receiving, via the listing user interface, an indication to post data corresponding to the listing to the social network; and
sharing, by the mobile device, the data corresponding to the listing with the social network.

5. The machine-readable medium of claim 3 , wherein the operations further comprise determining hashtags that correspond to the listing for presentation via the listing user interface.

6. The machine-readable medium of claim 3 , wherein the operations further comprise presenting, via the listing user interface, an option to manually enter hashtags for use when posting data corresponding to the listing on the social network.

7. The machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
receiving, by the mobile device, a notification from the publication system; and
presenting, by the operating system, the notification on a home page native to the operating system while the mobile device is in a standby mode.

8. The machine-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise, while the mobile device is in the standby mode:
receiving, by the operating system, an indication to reply to the notification;
presenting, by the operating system, a further user interface native to the operating system that includes options for replying to the notification;
receiving, by the operating system and via the further user interface native to the operating system, a reply to the notification; and
sharing, by the operating system, the reply with the publication system.

9. The machine-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the notification is a question about the listing for the item or a sale notification.

10. A method comprising:
receiving, by a computing device, an indication to share an image of an item;
responsive to receiving the indication to share, presenting a sharing user interface native to an operating system of the computing device without activating an additional user interface of an application at the computing device, the sharing user interface including a plurality of services for sharing the image of the item with users of the services; and
further without activating an additional user interface of an application at the computing device:
receiving, by the computing device and via the sharing user interface, a selection of a publication system from the plurality of services;
responsive to receiving the selection of the publication system, presenting a listing user interface native to the operating system, the listing user interface including fields for input of parameters used to generate a listing for the item in the image;
receiving, by the computing device and via the listing user interface, the parameters and an indication to list the item; and
responsive to receiving the indication to list, sharing, by the computing device, the parameters and the image with the publication system to cause the publication system to generate the listing for the item.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the parameters and the image are shared using a share component of the operating system of the computing device.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the listing user interface further includes an indication of a social network to which data corresponding to the listing at the publication system is postable.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:
receiving, via the listing user interface, an indication to post data corresponding to the listing to the social network; and
sharing, by the computing device, the data corresponding to the listing with the social network.

14. The method of claim 12 , further comprising determining hashtags that correspond to the listing for presentation via the listing user interface.

15. The method of claim 12 , further comprising presenting, via the listing user interface, an option to manually enter hashtags for use when posting data corresponding to the listing on the social network.

16. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
receiving, by the computing device, a notification from the publication system; and
presenting, by the operating system, the notification on a home page native to the operating system while the computing device is in a standby mode.

17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising, while the computing device is in the standby mode:
receiving, by the operating system, an indication to reply to the notification;
presenting, by the operating system, a further user interface native to the operating system that includes options for replying to the notification;
receiving, by the operating system and via the further user interface native to the operating system, a reply to the notification; and
sharing, by the operating system, the reply with the publication system.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the notification is a question about the listing for the item or a sales notification.

19. A system comprising:
a mobile device having an operating system stored in memory, the operating system configured to perform operations comprising:
receiving an indication to share an image of an item;
responsive to receiving the indication to share, presenting a sharing user interface native to the operating system, the sharing user interface including a plurality of services for sharing the image of the item with users of the services;
receiving, via the sharing user interface, a selection of a publication system from the plurality of services;
