Abstract

In various example embodiments, a system and method for data mesh-based environmental augmentation are presented. Attribute data associated with a user may be received from a plurality of attribute sources. A portion of the attribute data may include real-time data. A portion of the real-time data indicative of an identity of the user may be identified. The identity of the user may be authenticated with respect to the real-time data by analyzing the identified portion of the real-time data. Based on the authentication of the identity of the user, a user activity being performed by the user may be identified based on the real-time data, and the user activity may be augmented according to a user setting.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
tracking, via one or more of a plurality of sources in an environment, activities of a user in the environment, the plurality of sources comprising one or more cameras that monitor the environment;
determining, based on data from one or more of the plurality of sources in the environment, data associated with the user including inventory monitored by the one or more of the plurality of sources;
receiving data from a device carried by the user, an identity of the user being derivable based on the data from the device; and
augmenting one or more activities of the user based in part on the tracked activities and the data from the device, the augmenting the one or more activities including:
facilitating a payment by the user, the facilitating the payment comprises causing the payment to be made based on the data from the device carried by the user; and
providing a notification to the user regarding the payment.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein one or more of the plurality of sources further comprises an optical reader used to scan a code.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
equipping a structure with the one or more cameras to monitor the environment.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein facilitating the payment comprises causing the payment to be made without the user providing an additional security credential based on the data from the device carried by the user.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising storing one or more user settings, wherein augmenting the one or more activities comprises:
determining that a user setting of the one or more user settings is associated with an activity of the one or more activities; and
augmenting the activity based on the user setting.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein tracking the activities comprises tracking inventories the user interacted with.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing the notification comprises causing presentation of the notification on the device carried by the user.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the device comprises a commerce application.

9. A system comprising:
one or more hardware processors; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more hardware processors, causes the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
tracking, via one or more of a plurality of sources in an environment, activities of a user in the environment;
determining, based on data from one or more of the plurality of sources in the environment, data associated with the user including inventory monitored by one or more of the plurality of sources;
receiving data from a device carried by the user, an identity of the user being derivable based on the data from the device; and
augmenting one or more activities of the user based in part on the tracked activities and the data from the device, the augmenting the one or more activities including:
facilitating a payment by the user, the facilitating the payment comprises causing the payment to be made without the user providing an additional security credential based on the data from the device carried by the user; and
providing a notification to the user regarding the payment.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein one or more of the plurality of sources comprises an optical reader used to scan a code.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein one or more of the plurality of sources comprises one or more cameras that monitor the environment and track actions of the user.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise equipping a structure with cameras to monitor the environment.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise storing one or more user settings, wherein augmenting the one or more activities comprises:
determining that a user setting of the one or more user settings is associated with an activity of the one or more activities; and
augmenting the activity based on the user setting.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein tracking the activities comprises tracking inventories the user interacted with.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein providing the notification comprises causing presentation of the notification on the device carried by the user.

16. The system of claim 9 , wherein the device comprises a commerce application.

17. A non-transitory machine-storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more hardware processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
tracking, via one or more of a plurality of sources in an environment, activities of a user in the environment, the plurality of sources comprising one or more cameras that monitor the environment;
determining, based on data from one or more of the plurality of sources in the environment, data associated with the user including inventory monitored by one or more of the plurality of sources;
receiving data from a device carried by the user, an identity of the user being derivable based on the data from the device; and
augmenting one or more activities of the user based in part on the tracked activities and the data from the device, the augmenting the one or more activities including:
facilitating a payment by the user, wherein facilitating the payment comprises causing the payment to be made based on the data from the device carried by the user; and
providing a notification to the user regarding the payment.
