Abstract
The disclosure herein provides systems and methods for linking database entries of a network platform. The network platform provides a plurality of pages each dedicated to an item and including details of the item. A user-uploaded content can be linked to two or more of such pages or items provided on the network platform such that a navigable path is created among such pages or items. The linked pages or items may include an intermediary page or content that is linked to each of such pages or items.

A method for linking a user photo to two or more pages related to products of different brands, the method comprising:
- providing a network platform comprising a first page for a first product and a second page for a second product, wherein the first page includes a description of the first product, a first photograph featuring the first product, and a first brand of the first product, and wherein the second page includes a description of the second product, a second photograph featuring the second product, and a second brand of the second product;
- providing at least one database comprising identifications of products, descriptions of products, photographs, and brands such that the first product is linked to the description of the first product, the first photograph featuring the first product, and the first brand of the first product and further such that the second product is linked to the description of the second product, the second photograph featuring the second product, and the second brand of the second product;
- receiving, from a user, a user photograph featuring at least the first product and the second product;
- providing a user interface for identifying at least one of the products stored in the at least one database to be linked to the user photograph;
- receiving, from the user, a link request (i) to link the user photograph and the first product such that the user photograph is displayable on the first page along with the first photograph and (ii) to further link the user photograph and the second product such that the user photograph is displayable on the second page along with the second photograph;
- in response to the link request, providing a first approval request to a first entity associated with the first brand for the first entity's approval or disapproval of linking the user photograph and the first product in the at least one database;
- in response to the link request, providing a second approval request to a second entity associated with the second brand for the second entity's approval or disapproval of linking the user photograph and the second product in the at least one database;
- receiving, subsequent to providing the first entity with the first approval request, the first entity's approval of linking the user photograph and the first product;
- receiving, subsequent to providing the second entity with the second approval request, the second entity's approval of linking the user photograph and the second product;
- and
- in response to both of the first entity's approval and the second entity's approval, linking, in the at least one database, the user photograph to each of the first product and the second product such that the user photograph is displayable on the first page along with the first photograph and displayable on the second page along with the second photograph.
A system for linking a user photo to two or more pages related to products of different brands, the system comprising:
- a network platform implemented using one or more computing devices, the network platform comprising a first page for a first product and a second page for a second product, the first page including a description of the first product, a first photograph featuring the first product, and a first brand of the first product, the second page including a description of the second product, a second photograph featuring the second product, and a second brand of the second product;
- and
- at least one database implemented using physical computer storage, the at least one database comprising products, descriptions of products, photographs, and brands such that the first product is linked to the description of the first product, the first photograph featuring the first product, and the first brand of the first product and the second product is linked to the description of the second product, the second photograph featuring the second product, and the second brand of the second product,
- wherein the one or more computing devices of the network platform are configured to at least:
- receive, from a user, a user photograph featuring at least the first product and the second product;
- providing a user interface for identifying at least one of the products stored in the at least one database to be linked to the user photograph;
- receive, from the user, a link request (i) to link the user photograph and the first product such that the user photograph is displayable on the first page along with the first photograph and (ii) to further link the user photograph and the second product such that the user photograph is displayable on the second page along with the second photograph;
- in response to the link request, provide a first approval request to a first entity associated with the first brand for the first entity's approval or disapproval of linking the user photograph and the first product in the at least one database;
- in response to the link request, provide a second approval request to a second entity associated with the second brand for the second entity's approval or disapproval of linking the user photograph and the second product in the at least one database;
- receive, subsequent to providing the first entity with the first approval request, the first entity's approval of linking the user photograph and the first product;
- receive, subsequent to providing the second entity with the second approval request, the second entity's approval of linking the user photograph and the second product;
- and
- in response to both of the first entity's approval and the second entity's approval, link, in the at least one database, the user photograph to each of the first product and the second product such that the user photograph is displayable on the first page along with the first photograph and displayable on the second page along with the second photograph.
