Abstract
A mower may be specifically recommended for a user based on received data associated with a yard of the user. The method may include providing a computing device for a user, and receiving, using the computing device communicating with a computer over a network, particular parameters about the user's yard. The user's yard parameters may be compared with product parameters of mowers stored on a database associated with a retailer. Using the particular parameters about the user's yard received from the computing device, at least one mower matched with the user's needs. The recommendation of the at least one mower may then be provided to the user.
Claims17
A method for presenting recommendations relating to outdoor power equipment, the method comprising:
- receiving, using a server communicating with a computing device over a network, particular parameters about outdoor power equipment of a particular user, the particular parameters including operational data provided by one or more mower sensors disposed on a current mower of the particular user, the one or more mower sensors being configured to collect the operational data regarding operation of the current mower of the particular user, the operational data being transmitted by the current mower to the server for receipt by the server;
- querying an advertising database with the particular parameters to determine if any matches exist in the advertising database;
- determining that at least one product associated with the outdoor power equipment of the particular user is a match in the advertising database based on the particular parameters received;
- and
- outputting a product recommendation or retail store information to the particular user based on the particular parameters received about the outdoor power equipment of the particular user;
- wherein the particular parameters about the outdoor power equipment of the particular user comprise a number of blade strikes of the current mower of the particular user.
A system for providing recommendations related to outdoor power equipment, the system comprising:
- a computing device configured to receive, from a computer over a network, particular parameters about outdoor power equipment of a particular user, the particular parameters including operational data provided by one or more mower sensors disposed on a current mower of the particular user, the one or more mower sensors being configured to collect the operational data regarding operation of the current mower of the particular user, the operational data being transmitted by the current mower to the computer for receipt by the computer, the particular parameters about the outdoor power equipment of the particular user comprising a number of blade strikes of the current mower of the particular user;
- a display configured to display advertising or other information to the particular user based on the received particular parameters about the outdoor power equipment of the particular user;
- a processor in communication with a database associated with a retailer, the processor configured for:
- querying an advertising database with the particular parameters to determine if any matches exist in the advertising database;
- determining that at least one product associated with the user's outdoor power equipment is a match in the advertising database with the particular parameters received;
- and
- outputting, to the display, a product recommendation or retail store information to the particular user based on the particular parameters received about the outdoor power equipment of the particular user.
A non-transitory computer readable medium embodying a computer program comprising instructions for presenting advertising relating to outdoor power equipment, the computer instructions, when executed by a computer, performs a method, the method comprising:
- receiving, using a server communicating with a computing device over a network, particular parameters about outdoor power equipment of a particular user, the particular parameters including operational data provided by one or more mower sensors disposed on a current mower of the particular user, the one or more mower sensors being configured to collect the operational data regarding operation of the current mower of the particular user, the operational data being transmitted by the current mower to the server for receipt by the server;
- querying an advertising database with the particular parameters to determine if any matches exist in the advertising database;
- determining that at least one product associated with the outdoor power equipment of the particular user is a match in the advertising database with the particular parameters received;
- and
- outputting a product recommendation or retail store information to the particular user based on the particular parameters received about the outdoor power equipment of the particular user;
- wherein the particular parameters about the outdoor power equipment of the particular user comprise a number of blade strikes of the current mower of the particular user.
