Abstract
Disclosed are embodiments for electronic commerce user interfaces. In some embodiments, a device is used to create an account on an electronic commerce system or create a listing for an item for sale on the ecommerce system. A first identifier of the device is stored by the ecommerce system. When a listing is generated by the account, an image representing an item for sale is included as part of the listing. The disclosed embodiments compare a second device identifier of a device used to capture the image with the first device identifier. If the two identifiers identify the same device, this provides an indication of confidence that the seller is in possession of the item represented by the image. This indication of confidence is then displayed when the listing is displayed to prospective buyers.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- hardware processing circuitry;
- one or more hardware memories storing instructions that when executed configure the hardware processing circuitry to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a first device, authentication information for a first account and a first device identifier of the first device;
- establishing, at an electronic marketplace, based on the authentication information, a first session for the first account with the first device;
- receiving, via the first session, a request to create a listing for an item;
- receiving, via the first session, an image captured by a second device, including metadata associated with the image that includes a second device identifier of the second device that captured the image;
- associating the image with the listing;
- performing a first comparison of the second device identifier and one or more device identifiers associated with the first account to determine whether the second device that captured the image is associated with the first account;
- generating a confidence indicator for the listing based on the determination whether the second device that captured the image is associated with the first account, the confidence indicator being indicative of whether a user associated with the first account is in physical possession of the item for the listing;
- establishing, at the electronic marketplace, a second session for a second account;
- receiving, via the second session, a request for the listing;
- and
- transmitting, via the second session, a response to the request, the response including the listing and the confidence indicator.
A method performed by hardware processing circuitry, comprising:
- receiving, from a first device, authentication information for a first account and a first device identifier of the first device:
- establishing, at an electronic marketplace, based on the authentication information, a first session for the first account with the first device;
- receiving, via the first session, a request to create a listing for an item:
- receiving, via the first session, an image captured by a second device, including metadata associated with the image that includes a second device identifier of the second device that captured the image;
- associating the image with the listing;
- performing a first comparison of the second device identifier and one or more device identifiers associated with the first account to determine whether the second device that captured the image is associated with the first account;
- generating a confidence indicator for the listing based on the determination whether the second device that captured the image is associated with the first account, the confidence indicator being indicative of whether a user associated with the first account is in physical possession of the item for the listing;
- establishing, at the electronic marketplace, a second session for a second account;
- receiving, via the second session, a request for the listing;
- and
- transmitting, via the second session, a response to the request, the response including the listing and the confidence indicator.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed configure hardware processing circuitry to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a first device, authentication information for a first account and a first device identifier of the first device;
- establishing, at an electronic marketplace, based on the authentication information, a first session for the first account with the first device;
- receiving, via the first session, a request to create a listing for an item;
- receiving, via the first session, an image captured by a second device, including metadata associated with the image that includes a second device identifier of the second device that captured the image;
- associating the image with the listing;
- performing a first comparison of the second device identifier and one or more device identifiers associated with the first account to determine whether the second device that captured the image is associated with the first account;
- generating a confidence indicator for the listing based on the determination whether the second device that captured the image is associated with the first account, the confidence indicator being indicative of whether a user associated with the first account is in physical possession of the item for the listing;
- establishing, at the electronic marketplace, a second session for a second account;
- receiving, via the second session, a request for the listing;
- and
- transmitting, via the second session, a response to the request, the response including the listing and the confidence indicator.
