Abstract

Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for providing augmented reality shopping displays. A processor can execute a shopping service. The processor can receive a request for display data. The processor can analyze shopping data to identify data sources, the shopping data can include user data associated with the requestor, and the data sources can include an offer source. The processor can obtain collected data from the data sources identified, the collected data including an offer. The processor can generate display data based upon the collected data and the shopping data, and provide the display data to a user device. The display data can identify the offer.

First claim

I claim:

1 . A method comprising:
receiving, at a processor executing a shopping service, a request for display data; analyzing, by the processor, shopping data to identify an offer source, the shopping data comprising user data associated with a requestor; obtaining, by the processor, an offer from the offer source; generating, by the processor, display data based upon the offer and the shopping data; and providing, by the processor, the display data to a user device, wherein the display data identifies the offer.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user data comprises object data that identifies an object associated with an interaction by the user device.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the object comprises an object on a shopping list, and wherein the interaction comprises a purchase of the object.

4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the interaction comprises displaying an augmented reality display that includes a reference to the object, and wherein the display data comprises a user interface element comprising a virtual shelf that includes the reference.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the virtual shelf is displayed by the user device, and wherein a product alternative is displayed on the virtual shelf.

6 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the object comprises an object that is not on a shopping list, and wherein the interaction comprises obtaining a promotion relating to the object.

7 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the object data identifies an item reference included in a communication sent to the user device.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user data comprises compatibility data associated with a user.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the compatibility data identifies a vehicle associated with the user.

10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the compatibility data identifies dimensions of a structure associated with the user.

11 . A system comprising:
a processor; and a memory that stores computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising
receiving a request for display data,
analyzing shopping data to identify an offer source, the shopping data comprising user data associated with a requestor,
obtaining an offer from the offer source identified,
generating display data based upon the offer and the shopping data, and
providing the display data to a user device, wherein the display data identifies the offer.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the user data comprises object data that identifies an object on a shopping list, and wherein the object is associated with a purchase.

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the user data comprises object data that identifies an object associated with an interaction at the user device, wherein the interaction comprises displaying an augmented reality display that includes a reference to the object, and wherein the display data comprises a user interface element comprising a virtual shelf that includes the reference.

14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the user data comprises compatibility data associated with a user, and wherein the compatibility data identifies dimensions of an entity associated with the user.

15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the user data comprises preferences associated with a shopping service, shopping list data, and orientation data that defines a geographic location of the user device and an orientation of the user device at the geographic location.

16 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the shopping data comprises history information that identifies a purchase history associated with a geographic location, and wherein the history information is used to identify the offer source.

17 . A computer storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a requestor, a request for display data, analyzing shopping data to identify an offer source, the shopping data comprising user data associated with the requestor, obtaining an offer from the offer source identified, generating display data based upon the offer and the shopping data, and providing the display data to a user device, wherein the display data identifies the offer.

18 . The computer storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the user data comprises object data that identifies an object associated with an interaction at the user device, wherein the interaction comprises displaying an augmented reality display that includes a reference to the object, and wherein the display data comprises a user interface element comprising a virtual shelf that includes the reference.

19 . The computer storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the user data comprises compatibility data associated with a user, and wherein the compatibility data identifies dimensions of an entity associated with the user.

20 . The computer storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the user data comprises preferences associated with a shopping service, shopping list data, compatibility data associated with the user device, and orientation data that defines a geographic location of the user device and an orientation of the user device at the geographic location.
