Abstract
The disclosure refers to a method and a device for addition of products on an interface of a device. The method, as executed by the device, comprises receiving product-metadata and display-content, wherein the product-metadata represents at least one product to be displayed as part of the display-content. Further, an automatic addition of the at least one product or an analog thereof related to the product-metadata is enabled or triggered without a user-intervention on the interface provided on a device.
Claims14
A method of managing an interface of a device, the method comprising:
- receiving, at the device, content from a source device;
- tagging, using at least one invisible identifier, at least one product to a frame in at least one television program for broadcast;
- extracting product-metadata by decoding the content with a product information decoder, wherein the product-metadata represents the at least one product to be displayed as part of the content;
- filtering the product-metadata based on at least one user configurable settings which comprises a user's preference related to the at least one product and at least one of a reward-on-purchase of the at least one product, the at least one television program related to the at least one product, or at least one television-channel broadcasting the at least one television program related to the at least one product;
- controlling to add, without user intervention, the at least one product or an analog thereof related to the product-metadata to the interface of the device from an external source device other than the source device based on the filtered product-metadata, wherein the controlling to add without user intervention is based on detection by the device of the tagged at least one product to the frame in the at least one television program;
- displaying, in a predetermined format, a plurality of products including the added at least one product or the added analog thereof related to the product-metadata, wherein each of the plurality of products is displayed with a television channel name of which channel broadcast each of the plurality of products, a television program title in which each of the plurality of products is broadcast, time information when a television program corresponding to the television program title is broadcast, a rating of each of the plurality of products, and price information of each of the plurality of products in a mapped state on the interface of the device;
- and
- receiving a notification of the addition of the at least one product or the added analog thereof related to the product-metadata,
- wherein the user preference comprises at least one of product category, product type, product color, TV program related to the product, or a channel of the TV program related to the product.
