Abstract

A system and method for intelligent item reordering using an adaptable mobile graphical user interface is described herein. In some instances, the system may generate a graphical user interface including a first set of graphical elements representing a first set of items, and receive a first input selecting a particular item of the first set of items, the first set of graphical elements including a graphical element representing the particular item. The system may generate a graphical list of quantities and render the graphical list of quantities at a first position in the graphical user interface based on the graphical element representing the particular item in the graphical user interface. In some instances, the system may receive a second input identifying a selected quantity from the graphical list of quantities and modify the graphical element representing the particular item to indicate the selected quantity.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
generating, by one or more processors, a graphical user interface including a first graphical panel, the first graphical panel including a first plurality of virtual buttons, each of the first plurality of virtual buttons including a graphical representation representing an item of a first set of items, the graphical user interface allowing the first graphical panel to be selected from a plurality of graphical panels, the plurality of graphical panels including the first graphical panel, the first graphical panel being displayed on a client device;
modifying, by the one or more processors, two or more virtual buttons of the first plurality of virtual buttons including overlaying a graphical information indicator over each of the two or more virtual buttons based on a selection of each of the two or more virtual buttons, wherein modifying the two or more virtual buttons includes:
receiving, by the one or more processors, a first input selecting a first virtual button representing a first item from the first-plurality of virtual buttons;
modifying, by the one or more processors, the first virtual button to indicate that the first item has been selected based on the first input including overlaying a first graphical information indicator over the first virtual button, the first graphical information indicator indicating one or more of a quantity and an order status associated with the selection of the first item;
receiving, by the one or more processors, a second input selecting a second virtual button representing a second item from the first plurality of virtual buttons; and
modifying, by the one or more processors, the second virtual button to indicate that the second item has been selected based on the second input including overlaying a second graphical information indicator over the second virtual button, the first virtual button and the second virtual button simultaneously respectively indicating the selection of the first item and the second item;

receiving, by the one or more processors, a third input selecting a second graphical panel of the plurality of graphical panels; and
providing, by the one or more processors, the second graphical panel of the plurality of graphical panels for display on the graphical user interface based on the third input, the second graphical panel including a second plurality of virtual buttons representing-graphical representations of a second set of items, the one or more processors storing the first input and the second input while the second graphical panel is displayed on the graphical user interface, the second graphical panel replacing the first graphical panel for display on the client device.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating, by the one or more processors, a graphical summary indicating selection of the first item and the second item from the first graphical panel and the second graphical panel; and
providing, by the one or more processors, the graphical summary indicating the selection of the first item and the second item for display on the client device via the graphical user interface.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
responsive to receiving the first input, providing, by the one or more processors, a graphical list of quantities at a first location in the graphical user interface, wherein the first location is based on a second location of the first virtual button-in the graphical user interface.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , further comprising:
receiving, by the one or more processors, a fourth input identifying a selected quantity from the graphical list of quantities; and
responsive to receiving the fourth input, modifying, by the one or more processors, the first virtual button by overlaying a graphical illustration of the selected quantity over the first virtual button.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying, by the one or more processors, a first zone of a physical location;
determining, by the one or more processors, the first graphical panel and the first set of items based on an association of the first set of items with the first zone of the physical location; and
providing, by the one or more processors, the first graphical panel for display on the graphical user interface based on the identification of the first zone.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein:
the first zone is identified by the one or more processors based on a signal received by the one or more processors from a beacon located at the physical location.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein:
the first zone is identified by the one or more processors based on one or more graphical panel selection elements.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining, by the one or more processors, a zone of a physical location from among a plurality of zones of the physical location, the zone being associated with the plurality of graphical panels, each of the plurality of graphical panels being associated with a category, each category being associated with a set of items; and
determining, by the one or more processors, the first graphical panel from among the plurality of graphical panels based on the determined zone and a selected category, the selected category including the first set of items.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining, by the one or more processors, the order status of the first item; and
modifying, by the one or more processors, the first virtual button to indicate the order status of the first item including overlaying a third graphical representation of the order status over the first virtual button-.

10. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
a computer readable memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
generating a graphical user interface including a first graphical panel, the first graphical panel including a first plurality of virtual buttons, each of the first plurality of virtual buttons including a graphical representation representing an item of a first set of items, the graphical user interface allowing the first graphical panel to be selected from a plurality of graphical panels, the plurality of graphical panels including the first graphical panel the first graphical panel being displayed on a client device;
modifying two or more virtual buttons of the first plurality of virtual buttons including overlaying a graphical information indicator over each of the two or more virtual buttons based on a selection of each of the two or more virtual buttons, wherein modifying the two or more virtual buttons includes:
receiving a first input selecting a first virtual button representing a first item from the first plurality of virtual buttons;
modifying the first virtual button to indicate that the first item has been selected based on the first input including overlaying a first graphical information indicator over the first virtual button, the first graphical information indicator indicating one or more of a quantity and an order status associated with the selection of the first item;
receiving a second input selecting a second virtual button representing-a second item from the first plurality of virtual buttons; and
modifying the second virtual button to indicate that the second item has been selected based on the second input including overlaying a second graphical information indicator over the second virtual button, the first virtual button a
